I don't care how the show is made. It's made for american/western audience who cares about continuity so why should american/western fans accept something that's relevant to eastern style of fiction?)

- Tzachor treats PR as his own and will do what he wants and feels like and yes, he wants the show to be succesful but only in his own way. Tzachor L-O-V-E-S Sentai and wants PR to be basically Sentai with english-speaking cast. Was pressed for 9 years he couldn't work on PR. Some Lee Marshall woman who worked on MMPR Productions posted on her Facebook "Jonathan is great, everything he does is for right reasons and good for the show, you don't know him, you wouldn't have the show without him" blah blah fans-suck-BS

- Chris says again he had 2 sources going on "Disney season are out" and thinks with Ricardo Medina's return it basically confirms that WF will be treated as the last season before Samurai.


Quality of the podcast is bad (I don't get why some voices are pushed to the right speaker and some to the left) so it's a pain to listen. Maybe someone will do the rest or maybe I will manage to get through it all. And frankly, it's REALLY hard to know which parts of what Chris says are his personal opinions/interpretation and which are some inside-production scoop so take everything in this podcast with a BIG grain of salt.

EDIT 1: I'm in the 23rd minute and it's getting hilarious. These people in the podcast think they're some superior part of the fandom, or 'teh seriouz' PR & fiction analytics and experts LOLOLOLOLOLOL

EDIT 2: OK they've toned down the superiority thing but here comes another thing. 50 minutes in they complain about comic reboots and how it's bad because because of this lack of continuity and canceling of previous events there's lack of feel of consequences and it's hard to get into. But that's how PR has been for several years, basically rebooting itself every year. And Chris at the beggning kinda tried to defend eastern style of writing and lack of universe-continuity. So yeah, PR gets a pass because it's eastern-based yet american comics don't because they're american? LOL They've said reboots are lazy writing. I call eastern writing with lack of care for continuity exactly the same.

Most of the podcast is just them discussing different PR-related things.

- Around 25 minute mark they discuss potential Gokaiger adaptation and if they think it will suck or be great
- Then they discuss PR producers and various important people who worked on the show, who was nice, who they spoke with personally (at Morphicons etc) and how Tzachor sucks and how he will never lose his job 'cause he's friends with Saban and how he now runs the show on his own with no one there able to keep an eye on him
- Then they discuss how Kamen Rider sucks, how Samurai suuuuuper sucks and how RPM was good
- Then they discuss how 'autistic' the PR fandom is and how people like what's old stuff even if it sucked before (they bring Deca example), one guy mocks when fan like 'adult' stuff
- Then they dwell into comic books reboots and continuity around 50 minute mark. They complain about comic reboots and how it's bad because because of this lack of continuity and canceling of previous events there's lack of feel of consequences and it's hard to get into.

- around hour mark they discuss what could potential PR reboot look like

But it's all their fan opinions, nothing with inside scoop except for the part when it appears dubbing Shinkenger and airing it as PR was actually considered at one point.

Tzachor would probably have a frakkin coronary if they refuse. So I hope they refuse and he is forced off the show for medical reasons. Then someone can come in and adapt not translate.

Also I read over at Rangerboard the writting staff is the same or nearly the same writting staff that the Transformers Unicron Trilogy had which are good for nothing but dubbing not adapting. There are two exceptions there are 2 writers who are PR alums.

As long as Tzachor is friends with Saban and Tzachor doesn't screw up the toy sales somehow and the ratings don't tank. No matter what the non-target audience fans do Saban isn't going to get rid of him, there be no reason to we don't matter.

Yes Decade, the target audience is important. But Saban Brands has been very nice to the fandom. And handwritten letters can make a difference. Rangerbar is having a handwritten letter drive. Obviously its not guarenteed to work. But the chances are better with it then without it. As long as people are respectful. Which is part of the reason why Rangerbar is having all the letters sent to them ( so they can get rid of the bad ones). They got the idea from another fandom.
