Tokusatsu has been shifting more and more to a cgi show as the years pass. They still have the rubber suits for now, but it's going to get to a point where it's more cost effective to put the suit budget into cgi.

You know, Power Rangers aside, Daizyujin really is one of the top Sentai mecha designs they've ever done.

That blocky design that feels toyetic without giving up too much realism and also without going into the toddler Megablocks look trap that 2010s Sentai would eventually fall into. The fantasy sword and decals. The dinosaurs. And that iconic Gundamesque faceplate that Western audiences at the time only knew from Optimus Prime.

It really is amazing what a lottery ticket Saban hit with that generation. It had all the ingredients to be a hit in the West.

Daizyujin's toy won a Japanese design award before it even hit shelves. It gets some flack due to MMPR being so popular, but it;s a great design
Fun fact- the head is actually based off Daitetsujin 17, who had a very obscure US release as Brain 17 along with a small toy release in the Shogun Warriors line. The designer was a fan of it as a kid-- Daizujin was one of his first designs as a young toy designer. He'd go on to work on a lot of the US PR stuff like Battleizers

>>150667200
Not great, to be honest.
For starters, a Power Rangers animated series would likely just be another attempt to make the franchise more "adult", because heaven forbid grown-ups enjoy a kids' show as it is.

Plus, it would probably end up being yet another MMPRanger/Zyuranger reboot/revamp, instead of something original based on the core concept (and, technically, Cosmic Fury already showed us how those tend to turn out).

The whole point of PR was to adapt Super Sentai for Western audiences.
But nowadays one has to wonder why not simply sub and dub Super Sentai?

If Westeners have no issue with animated nips, is it such a problem having them in live-action?
>>
>>150676475
Who the fuck wants to watch dubbed sentai? Dubbed live action is awful. Besides adaptations are far better. Dekaranger isn't bad but it's not SPD. Actually, the japs dubbed over SPD
>>
>>150671734
Wasn't Zyuranger more of a dud among Sentai shows in Japan and they let Saban have it thinking he wouldn't make it successful?
>>
>>150676485
>Who the fuck wants to watch dubbed sentai?
Those too lazy to learn a new language, or read the freaking subtitles. Never been to /a/?
>>
>>150676498
No, that's just one of the (many) Super Sentai myths going around.
Zyuranger was actually fairly popular, and even groundbreaking in the long run.
>>
>>150676485
I do (while also watching the original version, of course), mostly because I grew up with dubbed Tokusatsu back in the early 90s because I'm from a LatinAmerican country.

>>150676475
Since the beginning, Power rangers has had an emphasis on having a diverse cast to corner as many demographics as they can. The old era saban would mostly anchor it on a white, All-American boy lead with the minorities being . Disney liked having black or Maori red rangers or Maoris in prominent roles. Neo-Saban continued having diverse casts too. Just dubbing Sentai wouldn't allow that.

Tokusatsu is live action special effects work. You can say the cartoon takes Sentai or toku influence, in the same way many anime do, but being entirely CGI means it's not "tokusatsu"
>>
>>150677460
You are absolutely right, but that is not the point I was trying to make.
I didn't mean sub and dub Super Sentai and call it Power Rangers, but rather just sub and dub it for Western audiences to watch (not just to English, but to other languages as well).

We are way past the times in which the market saw the adaption and/or localization of an Eastern work (more specifically Japanese) as a necessity for the public to enjoy (except for those who need to "politically correct" them), there is already an established market for it.
>>
>>150667200
I dig it. Godzilla Singular Point, that 3d Godzilla trilogy, the SSSS. series, American Godzilla got a cartoon as well, just off the dome. Financials aside, there's no reason a PR cartoon couldn't work.
>>
AAAAAIIIIIEEEEE
>>
>>150677526
tokusatsu mainly refers to science fiction, superhero, fantasy, or horror media featuring such technology but is also occasionally dubbed a genre itself.
>>
>>150677572
Well, I believe SHOUT! is in talks with Toei to stream the subtitled versions of Kamen Rider and Super Sentai in real-time (maybe Ultraman too, with Tsuburaya?).

Which is a wise decision from Toei, given their hate for fansubs (even though, if it weren't for such fansubs, no one would even know their Toku IPs outside of some niche circles).
>>
>>150677572
I think the issue lies in that Sentai skews to younger audiences, and while it does have some older fans, they largely prefer to watch subs.
A lot of anime for younger kids is also rarely picked up and Sentai falls into the same hole

Why are female power rangers so sexy when they have the suit on?
>>
>>150677636
>>150677526
Forgive the following weaboo post, but Tokusatsu is the contraction of the word "tokushu satsuei" (特殊撮影), literally "special effect" or rather "special filming", which is used for movies that make heavy use of special effects and miniatures. Naturally, for Japan, the word became heavily associated with science fiction, superhero, fantasy, horror (as anon mentioned), but also war films.

Over time, its use, combined with the conventions developed over the years, led the word to evolve and describe (mostly) kaiju and superhero media, to the point where it is used to name the particular subgenre, although the general meaning still applies and is even used. If you talk with an older Japanese man and tell him you like Tokusatsu, there’s a good chance he’ll think you like war films.
>>
We got a Kamen Rider anime, and people seem to like it, so I don't see why we can't have a Power Rangers cartoon.

Different circumstances, Kamen Rider anime was made for brand expansion, while the only reason a PR cartoon would be made is because live action special effects is no longer economically feasible.

>>150676498
It was the most recent show at the time, they had initially gone for Jetman when the deal was finalized but went with Zyuranger for the better toy marketability. At the time it had issues following up Jetman but secured solid ratings and sales, but in retrospect is one of the more middling entries beyond the villains and starting the sixth ranger trend

Actually, this was brought up a few days ago in /ssg/, here is a screenshot I took.

Zyuranger did a lot more for Sentai that just starting the Sixth Ranger trope.

Dubbed anime and dubbed live action are different. Really difficult to do good dubbed live action
>>
>>150679077
>Really difficult to do good dubbed live action
It really isn't, but you need to have real experience doing it, something English-speaking countries barely have, so I don't blame you for raising an eyebrow at the bare notion.

French, Spanish, Portuguese, German, etc... all have vast experience dubbing American content, from Hollywood movies to live-action TV shows made for kids, including Power Rangers. As such, both kids and adults are also very used to dubbed live-action content meaning they have an easier time engaging in it.
Don't get me wrong, it can still be a disaster, like any project, but from what I've seen it is more likely to be due to poor adaptation and translation, than anything else.
>>
>>150679173
Not to mention most English dubs of Asian movies ended up being almost parodies of the movies themselves, not that far from what the gag dub of Ghost Stories did.
It is not surprising the idea of dubbing an Asian TV series is met with skepticism.

I'm not opposed, but recognize that when it comes to animated forms of tokusatsu the bar is set pretty high by what Japan itself does with the genre
