Man 10 dvds sound like a pain. Are blu rays too expensive to produce for Shout?

I think that's just the "Brand New Show Dairanger 1993" promo that aired with the final episode of Zyuranger, rather than proof that it will be sold in the US.

I want to believe though
But I know whatcha mean. I guess they just took all the content from the R2's?
Good point...
Another screenshot has the subtitle say "Gosei Sentai Dairanger" instead of a translation. As placeholder. I imagine if Shout Factory got the rights, it would be "FIve-Star Squadron Dairanger"
Some FAQ suggestions for the Dino Charge OP
"What makes this season special?"
"Former head writer Judd Lynn is returning as showrunner. His previous credits include In Space, Lost Galaxy, Time Force, and RPM, all fan favorite seasons."
"Dinosaurs again?"
"Blame Toei, and look up the 'Fleeting Demographic Rule'"
"I saw promos for a big epic battle. Was that awesome?"
"Let's not talk about Megaforce... please."
"What about Go-Busters?"
"Go-Busters was a financial flop in Japan. Plus, Bandai sees dinosaurs as more profitable"
"Will they bring in MMPR and Dino Thunder and do a crossover like Kyoryuger?"
"We don't know yet."
"Is Tommy going to be in it?!"
"Go away"
"MMPR IS THE ONLY GOOD ONE!"
"Don't be a Genwunner"
Noted. Anyone else want to help out with the FAQ? FIgured I'd just post the Synopsis and the ranger bios for the OT.
I dunno, a link to TokuGAF and maybe the Drive and (eventual) Ninninger OTs if they want to see more shows like it?
Noted! Keep em coming. I'll probably link to the Super Sentai Zyuranger Amazon page too.
And now the realization that there's lost Sakamoto footage on the Power Rangers cutting room floor.
Surely they filmed more for the Legend War then what the series had. I mean, the whole thing was 2 minutes, and only a minute of it was new footage.
I'm still kinda surprised they nixed the footage we saw in Troys dream.

Don't think they did. Most of it was from Gokaiger episodes and the parts that were new were quick and reused in the last episode.
Just got back from the ToQ vs Kyoryuger movie:
1. In general the movie was pretty meh. Last year's Kyoryu\Aba\Jyuranger crossover movie was better. This is mostly because the action scenes kinda sucked. Neither team really gets enough time to do cool stuff because ToQ is a bunch of kids for a fight, Ucchi turns into a baby (for the same fight), and the last fight was just bad. You get to see a helmetless role call but thats about it. The spirit rangers show up towards the end, but in suits only (Cyan was Blue's sister Yuko
and I assume Grey was Grey's ancestor from the end of the series). And on the ToQ side for some reason the Shadow line folks showed up to help with the last boss (which amounted to them just standing there, really).
I know I shouldn't go into these movies with any sort of expectation they will be any good, they all pretty much universally suck, but I at least i kinda dug last years VS, this one just kinda dragged on without any stand-out scenes. There's a lot more I could talk about (like ToQ becoming kids and how the child actor for green looks hilarious) but honestly I'd rather just talk about NinNinja
2. Ninninja is going to be cool. The impression I got from them in this movie was much better than what I got from last year's VS. Only suit actors as per usual, but we got to see a little bit of each members personality. Red is a cocky\confident type (not hot blooded like Daigo, but not totally cool like Shinken Red, kind of an inbetween maybe? Or maybe the actor was just terrible). Blue is also pretty "cool", he uses magic, didn't really get much of a personality from him. Yellow is a trickster, he used a move where it looks like he was getting beat only it turning out to be a fake. Strikes me as the Michaelangelo of the group (tuned down). Not much I could glean about Pink and White other than they have a very stereotypical "oh you boys" kind of thing going on.
Action scenes were very active, lots of flipping around climbing on things, very effortless and cool. The swords were neat (the henshin sound is the song you hear in the latest trailer ("nanja nanja", very Japanese festival). One interesting thing about them is they had a shuriken that turned big monsters back down to little ones. I'm sure we'll only see that like 2 times in the whole series, but kind of a neat idea. The Gamagama Gun didn't really seem special, just a regular old sentai gun. They also did their final attack, some tornado move where Red stands on the others hands (think cheerleaders) and they kinda spin themselves up into a tornado.
They show up at the beginning of the movie, which I thought was weird, but honestly they were kind of the highlight of the whole thing :/
They did their roll call complete with graphics, and it was pretty neat (read: better than ToQ). They brought back intro lines (something I always hated about ToQ) and all the poses and what not are all very cool.
3. There's a scene where a lawn chair gets smashed. Surely they put that in there for us?
That's it! I still don't like ToQ, and I'm bummed Kyoryuger didn't stand out more (or at least weren't as cool as GoBus last year) but whatever. Bring on the Ninjas.

Actually there's a better DaiRanger sub now. He only released it after he was finished subbing all eps though, due to how TVN acted.
man... rewatching some gobuster reminds me of how much I enjoyed the fight choreography. Everything is just feels fast and efficient... which is what youd' want from 'special agent dudes'.
Really do hope the rumors are true that gobusters will show up sometime during teh season.
At least we know they will show up during the next anniversary series where the rangers can switch to old suits "Legendary rangers from another world!"

How was King's hair?
Cast listings for the Keeper reveal a woman. So she's probably an original character. Unless they're gender-swapping Torin... nah that would be dumb
Terrible.
worse than movie Tsukasa?
Which version? The SHT version with "fiery" hair?
Shinkenger 25 and 26 I guess
Oooooh boy I'm so pissed. You have a story arc about Dayu and Pink, with the recurrent plot Juuzo x Red as background. Then the Juuzo duel becomes the focus. Eh, ok.
But then they completely throw out Pink's newfound resolve and secondary focus in favor of Blue, with a really shitty conflict (and overnight resolution), making him THE guy of the episode, leading the team while Red duels and using the new power up. why
Edit-
also how the fuck Dayu isn't dry yet

And the duel ended very anticlimactically. I was expecting something new about Take after the fight. I HOPE Juuzo isn't dead from simply that.

All that throat slicing, compact throwing and binaries "hitsparks"... nggghh.

Kinda related to Shinkenger: ShinkenRed's actor talks about being paid in peanuts while working on Shinkenger.
And here I thought Power Ranger actors were underpaid...

I read that earlier on /m/. I always knew that these kind of jobs weren't exactly a wellspring of dosh but not being able to feed himself is just insane.
Supposedly, it might be attributed to his talent agency taking a huge cut of his pay. But still, this is crazy.
Reminds me of Kento Handa when he was shirtless in one of the Faiz episodes.

Yeah, it's pretty bad, but they do it because it's a step-stone to bigger stardom due to the "older mom" audience. Basically, many male actors jump from Sentai/Rider into Jdrama. The line tends to be Musicals (Prince of Tennis) > Toku > Jdrama.
Big winners in this area tend to be Riders, including Hiro Mizushima (Kabuto), Takeru Sato (Den-O), and recently Sota Fukushi (Fourze).
Jump from super sentai is prettttty rare, its almost all riders, with this guy being the rare exception (you can include gaims sano gaku too, and you forgot the big one, odagiri joe)

Is Sano taking off? I'm expecting big things from him, especially because he seems far more athletic than past Rider actors. Fukushi came out swinging stronger than I've seen in a while. Say I Love You, Kami-sama no Iu Toori, and Kyou wa Kaisha Yasumimasu all in a short period of time.

Kabuto and Den-O was in a jdrama together pretty much playing Kabuto and Den-o sans super powers
There's a bunch of shows like that that tend to suck up a bunch of young, upcoming actors.
Mei-chan no Shitsuji, GTO, Gokusen, and Hanazakari no Kimitachi e.
Yep, that's W, Gattack, and TheBee.
Same show, a few years earlier?
Kabuto, Kabutorajiger, New Gavan, GokaiSilver, and Sasword.

Here's a trailer for Gaim Gaiden (preceded by an ad for the Taboo Lock Seed featuring Kaito).
Still kinda confused as to when it's supposed to take place within the series, but it looks good. Kouta, Mai, Jounouchi, Oren, Ryouma, and Sid all make appearances.

He was in a drama recently, and actually now that I'm thinking about it, this season there's a crime drama where Takatora plays a nerdy lab tech. Kinda weird.
