Though word is apparently there's going to be a new adaptation of Kamen Rider for the US, and they're actually keeping the title as Kamen Rider. I hope it's better than that Masked Rider crap.

Maokun: Ninjas or Pirates? (Vikings are not a valid answer, sorry)
EricTheFred: Vikings are always a valid answer.

As for the new US Kamen Rider..I believe it's gonna suck big time.
Live-action dubs are in general a crime against nature.
Agreed. However I do wish that Disney wouldn't change too much of the plots in the Super Sentai shows...in other words make it an American version of Sentai, not...whatever it is they're doing.

Go-onger so far hasn't impressed me too much]
From what I hear, the Super Sentai series has been dropping in ratings in Japan, and they're trying to appeal more to kids this time around. I still like Go-Onger, and there's definitely some fantastic moments, such as Speedor crossing the road to get to Sousuke and Gunpei's speech to Antennae Banki. However I'm hoping things will get a little more serious soon. That, or just hope that the next Super Sentai series goes back to more mature concepts like Fiveman or Maskman.They HAVE done the car themed robots several times already.
One could say the same of animal themed robots. There's only so many things you can base robots on. :pMystic Force was actually really really close to the plotline of the japanese version, Magirangers. It was the first american season in a long time to actually use the japanese villians instead of inventing new ones, and there were several episodes that followed their sentai counterparts almost exactly (like one where one of the rangers became a vampire). But that may be an exception out of the seasons.

I'd really like to see Zyuranger subs.
I've got all the episodes raw, but I've only been able to watch up till the Dragon Ranger appears, because my discs are scratched.
EricTheFred (post: 1223078) wrote:Heh. You guys should see some of the Filipino "Special Effect Shows". Extremely low budget science fiction, fantasy and superhero live action stuff. My wife can't watch them anymore because her husband and sons are giggling too loudly.
Personally, for Asian live action in general, I typically like the dramas and the action shows more.
