>ruins Super Sentai genre in 30/40 years>"Nothing personal, Goyim"
3 or 4 decades is a pretty damn good run
>>23613869>kike steals something and ruins itfork found in kitchen
Japan will rebuild, unlike Israel.
>>23614073There won't be a Japan anymore. It'll be mystery meat muttland or a crater from WW3.And I can't wait for this bastard to die.
>outlived Sentai
>>23614225It's not like Saban is going to live much longer. And sentai will still be around; just in a different format. If anything, it's the dipshit executives and attorneys at Toei for signing that contract at fault.
>>23613869 (OP)Saban didn't tell Takebe to crash the franchise with no survivors. That's on Shirakura's favoritism towards her.And he certainly didn't tell Matsura to cast an actress who couldn't keep her legs closed. That's entire on the producers of this trainwreck.
>>23614233We can only hope he dies in less than 12 weeks>sentai will still be aroundAnon let it go...
>>23614126You’ve got severe issues buddy and this is some pathetic trolling
>>23613869>in 30/40 yearsOkay we got time guys. No pressure.
That's not a picture of Hasbro.
>>23614527The bullshit contract tying up sentai's international distribution rights were from Saban. Toei got tired of it, hence why they're going to sidestep its terms by ending Super Sentai as a franchise and possibly retooling it as something else.
>>23614532>it's totally a rebranding guysKeep telling yourself that. Just don't be surprised that the final product looks nothing like SS.
>>23614538I couldn't care any less. Sentai reinvents itself into something else? Cool. Sentai is gone? No difference to me.
>Brian Goldner died for this
>>23614544Are we supposed to give a shit?
>>23614548If he was alive today there would be no problem
>>23614555He and Saban were scheming to fuck over Toei and Bandai when they met years ago in the 90's. Who cares?
>>23614073Rebuild from what?Durkas were the ones getting btfo'd
>>23613869Eh, that's on Toei. Should've read the fine print
Who's worst? Saban or Harmony Gold?
>>23614895Harmony Gold. They squatted on the trademark for Macross and threatened people to pay them up to allow Macross imports or sent cease and desist letters to dealers.Though Saban's douchery over Chroma Squad, Square Enix's Final Fantasy outfits, and selling PR to Hasbro is up there.
Saban was unironically a visionary regarding how popular Japanese entertainment would be in America.
>>23614922Please. Fred Ladd brought over Speed Racer. Ted Turner aired dubbed Ultraman. Saban made America look bad by chop-shopping sentai while other countries never had a problem watching Japanese.
>>23614934And then for whatever reason Power Rangers got released in other countries, even Japan. I'm pretty sure they even got the Dekaranger actors to voice their Power Rangers counterparts. Though, I think Korea eventually just dubbed the Sentai but still called it Power Rangers in order to skip Ninja Storm because Ninja are Japanese. IIRC, Shinkenger was skipped for the same reason.
>>23614934Peter Fernandez for Speed Racer, but Ladd did bring over Tetsujin 28 as Gigantor.
>>23614952I suddenly remembered that weird ass Speed Racer sequel series that focused on his sons and aired on Nicktoons. I only ever saw two episodes.
>>23614965That was made under Speed Racer Enterprises whom Tatsunoko later sued because they overstepped the contract limitations of the license to Mach Go Go. Shit like this is what causes Japanese studios to bypass US distributor.
>>23615007There was also a 90s american show that had 13 episodes just so they could syndicate it as they needed 65 episodes. The Russian dub survives complete but the English version has 3 missing episodes
>>23614922He was definately in the right place at the right time, cable tv moving across the nation during that time also helped.
In every thread about this man, I will post the message he sent to Joe Biden during his presidency to complain that Biden wasn't shipping weapons to Israel fast enough for his liking.The sheer fucking entitlement on this individual to speak so cavalierly to the President of the United States. This is akin to how an abusive boss speaks to a junior employee. None of this is to pearl-clutch about disrespecting either Biden or the POTUS, just to highlight the immense narcissistic ego and entitlement on this man.
>>23615505Gradually I began to hate themSomeone should post the thing with Gene Simmons too. That one is also funny.
>>23614951Dekaranger's counter part SPD was under control of Disney at the time, not Saban, and that was before Saban's deal got even more unhinged when got Power Rangers back for Power Rangers Samurai. Power Rangers under Disney was they best time for both Sentai and Power Rangers.
>>23615524We need more jews like Gene Simmons checking the ultra egosticals like Saban.
How was Mystic Knights of Tir Na Nog?
>>23616006It actually utilized the Ulster Cycle; something I never thought I would see in a US kid show. I actually respect Mystic Knights for being an original production and not built off of sentai. Though they reused the whole brainwashed by evil sorceress subplot from MMPR
>>23615664How do Japanese feel about Boukenger since I believe Operation Overdrive was the most hated show until the Neo Saban stuff came along.
>>23613962Fippy bippy>>23613869Retarded take.If Saban really "killed" Super sentai, as you faggots want to make it out to be, Power Rangers and Super Sentai would have ended in the fucking 90s. Hell, Fiveman was supposed to be the death knell of Super Sentai. If anything, the international success of Mighty Morphin' led to Zyuranger toys being sold beyond just Japan's shores. But I guess you retards will never get it>>23614724>>23614259/thread
>>23614532>The bullshit contract tying up sentai's international distribution rights were from SabanSo Toei got Harmony-Gold'ed?
>>23613869You mean helps revive Kamen Rider due to the free money Toei received amirite?
>>23616089>You mean helps revive Kamen Rider due to the free money Toei received amirite?Did you know Saban tried to fuck over Kamen Rider the same way he got sentai with Power rangers?
>>23616006not great, but yeah like >>23616017at least it had its own ambitions>>23615673it's really funny how showa toku KISS Meets The Phantom Of The Park gets by the end, like Gene was able to bring the cheap and probably dangerous fights so he needed Saban to patch in footage of people who could act
>>23616097I don't think it helped that the gap between Black RX and Masked Rider was larger compared to Zyuranger and Power Rangers. Six years to be exact. In fact, I'm pretty sure a huge problem with a majority of the non-Power Rangers tokusatsu was they eventually ran out of stock footage to use. Even Superhuman Samurai Syber-Squad, which wasn't made by Saban suffered this.
>>23616109VR Troopers could have used footage from Juspion, Spielban and Gavan if they had wanted to continue.
I blame Disney Era Power Rangers and whatever we got recently with awful woke comics and kindergarden shows streaming on netflix.Power Rangers/Sentai used to be watchable in the 90s/early 00s for any age.I couldn't finish the first episodes of Dino Fury because how retarded it was.
>>23616129Disney era was putting in more effort than Saban though.
Why is duel crying about this thread so much? Is he a part of the tribe?
>>23615505Yeah, there are reasons to hate Saban and it's not like what shitposters like the J will say about him bastardizing Tatsunoko anime with crappy dubs. It's shit like that, or that thing about Gene Simmons which at least ended a funny way.
>>23614538All they need to do is make robots as good as the koreans and no female cast members>>23615505>The sheer fucking entitlement on this individual to speak so cavalierly to the President of the United States. This is akin to how an abusive boss speaks to a junior employee.Imagine all the crazy shit Jews said to the president(s) we havent seen
>>23616294You're right its putting Angela Anaconda in Digimon
>>23616315That was great.
>maked videogame based on sentai>mossad raids your house and threatens to send you to guantanamo if you don't put Saban's name and pay him royalties
>>23616120At least we got this.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L8_HrVhnqNg
>>23614225I thought they stopped making Power Ranges after Cosmic Fury
>>23616501They're trying to make an original PR series without any footage from sentai for Disney+. I guarantee it's going to be another MMPR clone.
>>23616088It's no wonder Japan is gun-shy about international distribution with companies licensing and then sitting on the rights in perpetuity forever. This has happened now to Macross and a variety of other series with Harmony Gold (owned by an Egyptian criminal and connected to the Italian mafia and the Berlusconi administration); with Chaiyo stealing the rights to Ultraman and sitting on it in the USA until there was a court case that restored the rights; and now with various Toei live action properties and Haim Saban.>>23616330That was horrible what they did to Chroma Squad, which was actually a very fun game made by Brazilians. Saban smelled money and came running. There are tons of sentai parodies in Japan and they can't do anything.
>>23616552>There are tons of sentai parodies in Japan and they can't do anythingI wish Saban was stupid enough to have done this
>>23616552>now with various Toei live action properties and Haim SabanPrecure too, apparently.
>>23616663Wasn't there some short-lived dub that only aired in Canada that's now lost?
>>23616675It got rebranded to Glitter force. It's actual run i don't now how long it lasted but apparently there was a ds game.
>>23615673Gene Simmons doesn't come off as much different.He said "I'm one of you" rather than "are you really fucking scamming everyone"? Deep implications there for me
>>23615673>We need more jews like Gene SimmonsHello Gene.
>>23616501PR is a rotting zombie, what I meant was Saban himself.
>>23615505The cherry on top really is that he writes like an authentic boomer and couldn't bother to clean up his gay e-mail he couldn't even send himself. He's such a stereotype of a greedy Hollywood jew that I can't believe he's real sometimes.
>>23616552Japan should always play hardball with foreigners. If they want Japanese media, then they better accept Japanese terms or no dice.
>>23616749It's becoming that way, but Japan domestic economy is too small for them to stand firm on that, plus, even though they know that the general western consumer base will easily consume Japanese media, they still have to get past the gatekeeping localizers and Ip thieves like Saban.
>>23616552The Chaiyo case is fucking despicable, because the Thai owner claimed that the heir to the Tsubaraya family signed a very sketchy contract that promised the rights to him forever. The contract was deemed a forgery filled with misspellings of the shows, and incorrect names of businesses, and missing stamps and seals. It's no wonder Japanese media companies are concerned about doing business overseas.
Reminder that OP is black or brown, just like all /pol/shitters. There are literally no racists who are actually white in 2025.
>>23616751They have to be like Toho. They have some of the best lawyers and do NOT fuck around. >>23616756Yeah Saban and HG never did that at least.
>>23616751Japanese companies like Studio Nue/Big West vs Harmony Gold, Tsuburaya Productions vs Chaiyo, TV Tokyo and Nihon Ad Systems against 4Kids Entertainment, Konami versus Upper Deck, the list goes on. They've learned painful lessons but won the hard long fight. Now they know exactly what kind of underhanded cunts US localizers can be and know how to deal with them. >>23616775Yeah Toho is very protective of Godzilla and Hollywood's recent treatment of the property is probably the best adaptation of a tokusatsu.
>>23613869Motherfucka look like the Shah of Iran
>>23616552It's why Tatsunoko sued Speed Racer Enterprises for their tomfoolery, and why when Sandy Frank's 30 year license to Gatchaman ended they weren't allowed to renew. Toei meanwhile...
>>23616315That poor anon's parents were never the same ever again.
>>23616751pray ia for subs
>>23616541They are, there's set photos. The question is are they just gonna make MMPR and maybe Zeo remakes forever and ever?
>>23617078Do they have any involvment with the comics that came out recently for both shows?
>>23614913>Square Enix's Final Fantasy outfitsQRD?
>>23617128In final fantasy XV, Noctis and his boys were supposed to get Sentai inspired outfits, but they localized them as "Rangers". This set off Saban's alarm.
>>23617161here's the before and aftermath of Saban's sperging at them for it.
>>23617171Any mods to fix it at least?
>>23617181not that i know off i don't care about 15, probably is though but, there's also a mod for legit Power ranger suits too. i think that was made soon after out of spite because lol fuck Saban.
>>23617120Tatsunoko? Yeah, their editorial office had to approve the Mad Cave licenses and has to clear things. There are two Japanese employees, and an American one who runs a "Battle of the Planets" fansite.For some reason, Tatsunoko is pretty open-minded with the Speed Racer IP being reinvented but they've dictated that the Gatchaman comic must take place within the first series, even though there's already issues trying to get it to seriously fit there.
>>23616727>Deep implications there for meI just assume with money and hollywood half of it is everyone trying to fuck over everyone else all the time. Sort of like how a lot of sports have everyone cheating
What ever happened to the Medabots bullshit?
>>23617161Localizers are the niggers of the entertainment industry.
>>23616240He keeps complaining about /m/ being dead but what he means is that it's slow, which makes his spam painfully obvious and has allowed for more people to call him out every single time he posts stupid shit.
>>23617326I wonder if it's because of Speed Racer being the more popular of the two in America. I think in Japan it's the other way around. Especially, if the comic is using the Speed Racer name rather than the Japanese name Macho GoGoGo. While the Gatchman comic uses the original name instead of Battle of the Planets or G-Force.
>>23616839>4Kids EntertainmentOh those bastards. They deliberately hid profits from the Japanese. Fuck them.Honestly localizers are scum. They think they invented something. I even hear from die hard fans there needs to be "mutual respect". Nah fuck off. This is the Internet age, I can watch the originals without a retarded middleman.
>>23617825Are there any series that still only have crabstick subs?
>>23617755Same for dub voice actors. Jamie Marchi comes to mind. This is why Japanese are experimenting with using A.I. with human oversight to dub anime. >>23617828I'm sure there is but probably under-the-radar obscure shit. I actually remember the god-awful dub for Dunbine that Carl Macek did for ADV. Even the subtitles weren't synched properly. >>23616756At least that fucker is dead now. His company is still trying to do bullshit but it's mainly nothing. Tsuburaya finally won over decades of bullshit. >It's no wonder Japanese media companies are concerned about doing business overseas.Japanese media is making all kinds of strides globally. Even in the US finally. So it's best they know how to deal with the bloodsuckers in Hollywood seeing how the US film industry is fucking itself over. Lowest box office since 1995.
>>23617755>>23617825>>23617921You will never be Japanese.
>>23617927Don't want to be. I love being an American. I visited Japan in 2009 and loved it, but I don't agree with their societal pressures and dyanmic. That being said, I don't need to watch a filtered version of a foreign media because I'm not retarded or a kid. I can read unlike 20% of Americans and enjoy seeing anime as well as Japanese live-action movies/shows and French/Italian cinema. I even watched some Turkish historical epics with subs.
>>23617921I'm guessing you're talking about that line from Dragon Maid. I also remember when Prison School's dub made a GamerGate reference and that got so much backlash they removed it from the DVD release. Does any of this kind of stuff happen in dubs that aren't English or even Japanese dubs of American cartoons?
>>23617947I understand you have to use a bit of local culture and nuances in the language when translating. For instance, in the old English dubs of Evangelion, when Kaji and Misato are caught in a compromising position, the original Japanese dialogue has Maya say ,"Disgusting". In the ADV dub, she says something along the lines of ,"I guess we're falling head over heels for one another again". This is acceptable because there are going to be differences on how Japan and the US view public displays of intimacy. But inserting in political and other hot-topic lines that have no business in anime is something that even the original Japanese studios are noticing. It's blatantly insulting to the source material and US distributors are getting flak from the Japanese now.
>>23617953Also, ADV used "Number Child" rather than "Number Children" when referring to the kids, I guess maybe because it sounds better in English. The Netflix dub used the latter. I will say I also enjoyed ADV having Asuka occasionally use German phrases.
>>23617953There was a case where it's more /a/ but Viz tried convincing the Japanese licensors of Osomatsusan the dub would totally sell if they Americanized it.It didn't. Maybe it's that the era of Ghost Stories is over, or that they waited too long to capitalize on fujoshi bucks. Viz notably licensed Hakushon Daimao 2020 from Tatsunoko after but has done nothing with it, feeling like they were thinking of pulling the same South Park treatment.
>>23617971Yup. This is acceptable. It doesn't take away from the original intent and characterization from the Japanese originals. I've watched a lot of pre-21st century anime localizations and man they were awful. Some like Trans-Lux Speed Racer, Tekkaman the Space Knight by Winckler Productions, and Ronin Warriors were arguably the best that stayed as close to the originals. The others made me wonder if the staff just made up shit and didn't get translations of the original dialogue to work off of.
>>23617972>Ghost StoriesOh god that shit. Yeah even the 2000s had its share of awful dubbing despite it being markedly better. Glad we're finally in an age where the Japanese opening and ending songs are actually kept on Adult Swim and the voice acting is more professional.
>>23617953I'm gonna be real. As>>23616751, the guy who brought up the treacherous localizers, of the belief that the "outcry for respecting the source material" and thew full blown anti translation movement going on, that whole issue a manufactured op to deny Japanese media even more. It makes no sense how literally no translation group is able to be profressional with how long we've been mingling with the japanese.
>>23617974Funny thing is I think one criticism I've heard about Netflix's Eva dub is that the translation is too literal. I've also seen people who prefer Ocean's dub of Gundam SEED over NYAV's.
>>23617972Ghost Stories dub was kino.
>>23617982Didnr the creator somehow also approve of that dub too?
>>23617978I think this is true too. US companies are probably pissed Japanese media is making strides in their markets and want to shut that shit down. When more and more US consumers prefer to watch Japanese animation and live-action, you bet your ass Hollywood wants to sabotage them. Or at least gain control. >>23617981Yeah sometimes being TOO accurate is a problem too. Translation is an art. The James Clavell novel Shogun even had its protagonist note that the problem with a translator is that they allow their own personalities to influence what was said voluntarily or involuntarily.
>>23615505Just curious where did you find this? Just curious as i'm working on a history of Haim Saban
>>23617828I've seen Gowappa 5 Godam (Transliterated Japanese name) a.k.a. Goliath the Super Fighter (International title used on Tatsunoko's English website) still has crabsticks as i know there's a chinese re-upload on bilibili i saw a while back. haven't checked i they got claimed
>>23617977I remember hearing Animax did a faithful dub
>>23616721It was only 2 seasons and there's subbed Precure streaming on CR with no problem so they're out of that mess
>>23617977I think one of the most depressing things in my weeb life was finding out that the original Ghost Stories dub was the result of some megalomaniacal failed writer using a project that no one gave a fuck about to pretend he was a comedy genius. Yeah I think some of it's still funny but the whole thing leaves a bad taste in my mouth. >>23618044I heard about that too, I think it also has subs as well but they might be like Gundam Wing dubtitles as opposes to proper subs.
>>23617982Nah it's ironic weeb trash, pure unfiltered amerizog slop.
>>23617981That's because Khara was there yelling at them to be so, even making sure they wouldn't make things with Shinji and Kaworu be mistaken as too gay.Evageeks has a whole page on how basically Kaworu was fujobait, but Kawoshin wasn't ever meant to be canon and Anno had to wrangle anyone trying to push gay from the start.
>>23618054>Yeah I think some of it's still funny but the whole thing leaves a bad taste in my mouth.It's the that you are seeing the unnecessary pettiness that goes on when it comes to just getting kids cartoons.
>>23618085That and the fact that some people involved in it just lied about the show being a writeoff to justify the meme dub. I don't blame the voice actors as much because voice actors usually know fuckall about the business side of these productions and the dub directors explicitly gave them carte blanche to adlib. I also think the original rights holders made a mistake not giving them much oversight too, which is something a lot of Japanese companies have learned from. That does occasionally lead to some having a little too much oversight but that's usually preferable to none at all.Another is how the MGS 1 and 2 had similar issues with their localized scripts. 1 made up all the non-expositional dialogue and 2's script was run by some dumb bitch who thought Kojima can't write, so neither one is a necessarily a faithful dub. I do think Kojima is a retarded writer and I do like the localized the scripts, but that doesn't give either of them the right to make shit up because they couldn't get an actual writer gig.
>>23618103Yeah, ADV tended to have its reps tell weird lies about things in the 2000s too. Anyone remember Matt Greenfield claiming they left Sailor Moon R episode 67 off the sub DVD because Naoko Takeuchi hated it, but then it turned out it's because they were using the DiC dub's masters for that season?There was even an audio glitch in one of the episodes where the DiC audio was used for some seconds.
>>23618115Glad ADV folded over
>>23618103You have to remember americans (in particular those in production and management roles) have always been bitter about japanese anime and videogames, specially so 20 to 30 years ago.
>>23618120Why?
>>23616749I wish the Japanese side banned AI-anything in anime localisations.
>>23618122Japan bootyblasted them in the 80s and their products were of a much higher quality, not to mention they dominated the market and I guess americans just couldn't cope with a shitty country they just got done nuking could rebuild and grow stronger than it ever was. Instead of trying to build a bridge between the two cultures and work together, americans decided to grow bitter about it and used every chance they got to prove it.
>>23618120That time was when aggressive, irresponsible marketing was at an all time high. It's the era Hasbro is most known, predatorially shilling He-man, Gi Joe, carebears etc to kids. They had the whole US consumer market on lock, because the US consumer base was the biggest and wealthiest market base. This is why when nintendo entered the scene with nes being sold as toys, they freaked the fuck out and tried dragging them to court on grounds of them being a monoply and manipulating the retail prices when all they were doing back then was just setting a standard for their products.
>>23618135>Japan bootyblasted them in the 80s and their products were of a much higher quality,That's not what it was, the 80s the beginning of the great Outsourcing, where almost every was beginning to taken from the US and shipped China and mexico, so that the US could out pace the Soviets.
>>23618143>>23618135Well we fucked Japan over and helped sabotage a long-time ally and trading partner. We still do this to them and even South Korea. Meanwhile China is growing stronger and laughing at us. We're truly fucked in the next 20-30 years.
>>23618143They have always been bitter about japs ever since the war (rightfully so), but Japan obliterating their automobile industry and becoming a technological hub only worsened the situation.
>>23618147But that only happened because the US got tricked into outsourcing it's manufacturing in the first place by "newly turned promising Us citizens".
>>23618147Worst part is that it's almost entirely the fault of the American automotive industry for why Japanese cars became so omnipresent. Hell in a roundabout way Japanese companies do more for both American autoworkers and American consumers than our own domestic companies ever did. None of this applies anymore of course, because the entire automotive sector is trash the world over now. And some companies like Nissan are on the verge of going belly up due to profound mental retardation. But that's a topic for /o/ or /his/, not /m/.
>>23618154I'd say cars are more on topic than most of this thread lol
>>23618155Arguably, but I don't think Nissan fund chinese robot cartoons. Not that they fund much of anything nowadays, I'll be amazed if that company still exists in 10 years, all the Yanato Damashii in nipland can't save that sinking ship. Honestly this whole thread is a bitchfest about localization and foreign distributors of Japanese media and product. While I would argue /m/ content is much better off than most in this area, it's still something we've all scratched our heads at over the years.
>>23618161>Honestly this whole thread is a bitchfest about localization and foreign distributors of Japanese media and product.And it's a conversation needs to be talked about more. It's been abit of a relief to know i'm not the only noticing the retarded games being played when comes to japanese media distrubition.
>>23618161>Honestly this whole thread is a bitchfest about localization and foreign distributors of Japanese media and productIt's because Toei is axing Sentai; a superhero franchise which aired since the mid-70s. Think about it. A little kid in 1975 (say 5 years old) when Goranger premiered will have kids by 1995 let's say. And those kids will watch sentai when they're old enough. And then they become parents by say 2020 and their offspring is old enough to watch Gozyuger. 3 generations grew up watching sentai and because of bullshit contract terms and US distributors being assholes, now a Japanese cultural staple is gone because Toei wants to try and circumvent Power Rangers. These threads really enlighten on how the US really fucks over Japan and I can't blame the Japanese for being salty towards localizers doing rights squatting, withholding money, making blatant lies, etc.
>>23618169Yeah a lot of us have been noticing this the last 5-10 years. I got into 4chan back in 2021 and that's when I heard about the whole Harmony Gold vs Big West/Studio Nue legal troubles being settled. Then Power Rangers and Super Sentai threads about how Saban sold it to Hasbro; a competitor to Bandai which completely burned bridges with Toei. This is why I'd rather just deal directly with the Japanese whenever I can than go through hoops and ladders. Streaming has proven that Japanese media can be widely received thanks to covid lockdowns. Not to mention Japanes anime movies and even live-action films gaining traction in US theaters. I just saw Battle Royale last month at my local multiplex.
>>23618161>Honestly this whole thread is a bitchfest about localization and foreign distributors of Japanese media and product.No it's about a Sentaifag seething that PR won and is the better product.But that applies to everything honestly. Localization is always better than the original.
>>23618176>how Saban sold it to Hasbro; a competitor to Bandai which completely burned bridges with Toei.Holy shit, just Fuck Saban, lmao why must he be like this? If i was the owner of Hasbro i'd have imediately sold it back to Toei, just to spite him because i'm pretty sure the "fuck Saban" mood isnt just a japanese exclusive mood.
>>23616721>>23616675> glitter forceOh gawd this was on roku and my niece used to watch it all the time when i was living there years ago.
>>23618183>If i was the owner of Hasbro i'd have imediately sold it back to Toei, just to spite him because i'm pretty sure the "fuck Saban" mood isnt just a japanese exclusive mood.The CEO of Hasbro who bought PR was friends with Saban. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/hasbro-saban-partner-power-rangers-toys-starting-spring-2019-1085401/>The partnership is also, in part, the result of a long friendship between Goldner and Haim Saban, the creator of Power Rangers and founder of Saban Brands, which stretches all the way back to the earliest day of the Power Rangers franchise.>“Our friendship started, as a matter of fact, when Brian left the advertising agency he worked at and moved to Bandai, which had the license at the time,” Saban explains. (Goldner went on to become the president of Bandai Namco Entertainment America in 1997, a role he stayed in for three years; the company controlled the toy license for Power Rangers during that period.) “Since then, we’ve been in touch on and off, on different subject matters. From time to time, Brian would say to me, ‘So when are you coming to Hasbro?’ (Laughs.) This is just the culmination of events that have been happening for some time. We’re just beyond thrilled.”>As part of the new partnership, Hasbro will add teams of workers dedicated to the brand to its West Coast offices, allowing for “hourly and daily” collaboration with the crew at Saban in developing new product. Both Goldner and Saban praise the ease of collaboration between the companies already, with the latter joking that “both teams seem to get along so well that they don’t need Brian or me. The two of us have other things that we do other than Power Rangers, even though it might not seem like it. Brian is running a multimillion-dollar toy company!”So Saban and Goldner plotted this for years. It's only Goldner's premature death that made Hasbro fumble the ball because nobody cares about PR.
>>23618187Do you have anything on his thought process on when he sold the license to Disney?
>>23618200PR was a package deal. Saban became a billionaire when Disney bought out his entire catalog from Fox Family Channel. https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/feature/2025-03-03/history-of-saban-part-3/.220745
>>23618187>friends with SabanYou mean they went to the same synagogue.
>>23618170>3 generations grew up watching sentai and because of bullshit contract terms and US distributors being assholes, now a Japanese cultural staple is gone because Toei wants to try and circumvent Power Rangers.Sentai ending has more to do with the fact that it's been doing like shit in its home country for 10 years now.
>>23618219That too. But I'm pointing out that it's a multi-generational superhero franchise. 50 years of series and it's going to end soon. It's the same way I feel at the CWverse ending after Arrow, Flash, and even Stargirl concluding.
>>23618219And now it gets its 50th anniversary celebration ending marred by actor controversy.
>>23618118There are weird audio glitches they never fixed in the processing for their Gatchaman dub too, a practice that wound up repeating when Sentai did the Saint Seiya dub for Netflix. Misplaced lines and sound effects and that kind of jazz.
>>23618180Agreed.
>>23617953>This is acceptable because there are going to be differences on how Japan and the US view public displays of intimacy.not it's not and never will beIf we're watching something made in Japan, by Japanese people, for Japanese people, about Japanese people in Japan, then we're not expecting an American adaptation; we want to... see something Japanese.
>>23618054>Ghost Stories dubAnd don't forget that they lied when they said the anime was a failure in Japan, when in fact it had higher ratings than Pokémon some weeks.
>>23618122
>>23618426I knew US comics were in trouble but it can't be this bad?
>>23618428That's the case, comics don't sell as well these days; the numbers are ridiculous compared to manga. >SupermanSuperman sold 600 million comics, sure, but that was over about nearly 90 years and 18,732 issues : around 8.6 million per year and only 32,000 copies per issue.>Demon SlayerDemon Slayer, by comparison (and it’s not even number one), sold 220 million in just 9 years, across 23 volumes : about 24.4 million per year and 9.6 million per volume. And that’s just one manga. Most American comics, even the biggest ones, don’t come close to that kind of sales speed or consistency. Manga just sells way more, way faster, and reaches a much broader audience.that's 300 times more sales per volume>One PieceOne piece has sold about 578 million in just 28 years with 112 volumes :averaging 20.6 million per year and over 5 million per volume. >Superman has been around for almost a century, but One Piece nearly matched its lifetime sales in less than a third of the time.
>>23618454No wonder the US entertainment industry wants to infiltrate and subvert manga.
>>23618428Comics sales are bad but the reason for it is because they are only sold in actual comic shops nowadays and those don't really exist anymore these days. It's that plus the fact that comics have always been treated as rare collectables rather than shit you just pick up an read. This is why so many Americans hardly even know about most american comic lore that's not been made into a movie or a tv show. You have to go really far out of your way to get into comic where as manga ironically is easier you'd just go to manga site. The buzz from weebs just reading manga scan would be enough to generate word in japan that "the westerns like this shit" and then that would warrant and anime adaptation and so on. This is why, if the "Japanese media suppression" theory is true, then it's why recently there's been a massive crack down on specifically english manga scans, you go to manga dex now, every other translation group that's not english is carrying on like normal.
>>23618428It's worse.
>>23618454And the fact that you have to actually read it in order...You want to read Dragon Ball? You take volume 1, chapter 1, and there you go, you read it.You want to read Batman? LMAO, you have more than a dozen entry points. Besides, if you really want to follow everything, you'll have to read a crossover. To read the crossover, you'll have to read the stories of other heroes that don't necessarily interest you.You like a series? Tough luck, there was a reboot of the universe, and the current arc will never be finished.Add to that the fact that comics constantly change authors, whereas a manga remains fixed.+ animated productions for advertising are much more common in Japan; there are several hundred anime released every year. In America? Well, you might get Spider-Man and Batman and... that's it. If you're a fan of a more niche comic, it might have a cameo. and adds the derivative products, video games, figurines etc., which are more prevalent in japanese production.
>>23618472It's really frustrating that the Big 2 release these short run series that do really well and either ignore them or shoehorn them into the extended universe. The Ultimate reboot was doing well until the obligatory crossover events started happening and the bad writing from mainline(and certain Ultimate books) spoiled the good books. Spider-Man: Life Story was 6 years ago and they still haven't done something else with that.
>>23618454Also compare the best-selling manga and comics; there's more diversity in manga.For manga, it's:One Piece: a pirates with powers in a fantasy world;Golgo 13: an assassin who always manages to kill his target in multiple ways;Case Closed/Detective Conan: the name speaks for itself, criminal cases solved by a detective fighting against an evil organization;Dragon Ball: a child with a monkey tail living adventures in a fantasy world;Naruto: a ninja in a ninja village;Demon Slayer: a teenager in ancient Japan who has to fight demons;Slam Dunk: basketball.And for comics? Superman, Batman, Spider-Man, X-Men, Captain America, F4, Spawn... it's all capeshit
>>23618477Eh, that list is a bit misleading because that's only for floppies. The more contemporary comics(Peanuts, Garfield, Asterix & Obelix, etc.) get released in hardcovers or omnibus, and that's where most of their sales come. It's still a largely capeshit industry for sure, but it's not the full story.
Saban's a niggerLevy is a niggerI'm sure they surrounded themselves with many niggers who go unnamed and unshamed
>>23618485>NiggerThe correct word is kike.
>>23615505I'm sure the president has constantly been getting a lot of dumbass letters since there was a president.
>>23618481I was just about to mention the possibility of some people just wait for the trades to come out.
>>23618493Yeah, it's still 90-10 capeshit, but you will find people who collect european trades or scholastic book fairs giving kids access to things like Bone or W.I.T.C.H.
>>23618488Niggerkikefaggot I'll call them whatever so long as it demonstrates what a fucking blight they are.
>>23618500Bro you have to label hazmat carefully. The treatment for one hazard could exsaperate another, that's why it's important to sort them carefully.
>>23618481The more contemporary comics(Peanuts, Garfield, Asterix & Obelix, etc.)>>23618454they are in this list anon, beside Astérix, Tintin and Peanuts, the rest is japanese
>>23618223whats going on with that?
>>23618461>every other translation group that's not english is carrying on like normalDidn't they remove tonnes of Korean stuff too?
>>23619052yeah how ever stuff is still being translated in Korean and other languages that aren't english. Like the majority of the english translation groups have all vanished since the big mangadex crack down, then sites like Bato and and comick got taken down out right so there's been no real replacement for mangadex ever since. As far as english manga goes, they want us to do the Korean thing and go to paid only sites to read stuff which again if the theory tracks, this is just another way for them to put clamp on the growth of Japanese media, they couldn't care less about protecting manga from pirates.
>>23619052Webtoon publishers went full autismo and tried to remove english translations of korean stuff.
>>23618477>One Piece>Dragon Ball>Naruto>Demon SlayerAll Battle Shonenshit
>>23619063Next you'll divulge that they are all manga too and they all feature a male lead. Great revelations.
>>23619063Still, there's more diversity than capeshit
>>23619061Did Afternoon pulp and Jenny run for the hills too? Not they ever did much, feel bad for other groups tho
>>23619061sounds more like they're stupid enough to think that they can do for manga what CR did for animethe paid only stuff still gets scraped anyway
>>23615505Epstein types as poorly. I guess having poor e-mail etiquette is a trait when you're fucking over the country.

Japan ruined Sentai by not having sex.
>>23617978>It makes no sense how literally no translation group is able to be profressional with how long we've been mingling with the japanese.That's just what translation companies are like regardless of language. Hence why American studios do their E2# translation in-house wherever possible.
>>23617953>>23617971There's also the fact that cultures just react to things different. I was there a little over a decade ago for the debut of the 3rd Rebuild dub at NYCC and the crowd was constantly laughing and hooting at the weirdness of the film and how fucking gay Kaworu and Shinji were coming off to each other. The Japanese reps in the crowd (who couldn't really speak English well) were furious, thinking that the localizers must have fucked up and turned all the lines into jokes because the audience was treated it like a disrespectful comedy and not sitting in silence appreciating the film like a Japanese audience would. They made them take it back to localization and work with the Japanese staff to figure out the "problem"But no it was an accurate translation, American audiences at the time just found the obvious homolust hilarious and everyone at Willie shitting on Shinji amusing because of all the memes in the US fandom about how much of a loser Shinji is. They were never gonna sit there politely until the last credit ran them clap like at a golf game no matter how they localized it because that's just not how US audiences act at a movie.
>>23622572It's not just the greed. It's the lack of shame.
>>23618136Mattel makes He-man as i used to collect them
>>23613869Saban did nothing wrong, blame Hasbro.
>>23623796Saban betrayed a good working relationship by selling it to Hasbro in the first place
Was Saban sitting on the Samurai Pizza Cats rights until around 2012? Because the way the DVD releases, streaming, and merchandise suddenly showed up after decades of nothing seems suspicious.
>>23618461Dumb conspiracyShueisha is just pushing people to read on their app that's all. That's why every ongoing series is free to read with no strings attached.
>>23623101Why should he care?
>>23622435United Nations General Assembly week, always happens in September.
>>23624519Why do I care if he cares? He's a sleazy faggot and he presents himself like one. He should die.
>>23624577I know. I can't stand him either but he is who he is. I just can't believe he fucked over Toei and Bandai. He probably got senile.
I miss Regis Filvin so fucking much
>>23623829He probably thinks he can schmooze on over by singing the Jetman theme song like he did with Suzuki way back when he got the rights to sentai.
>>23618475I hated how they nuked the Ultimate books with Ultimatum. >>23618472Yeah this is why I only bought TPBs of certain storylines now
