Kyōryū Sentai Zyuranger: The Complete Series DVD - Page 2 - Blu-ray Forum

I am torn on this after seeing the review here. :\

The first two screencaps are from the intro which looks a lot worse than the rest of the show - but actually comparing the Toei and Shout releases, the Shout transfer doesn't seem to look THAT much worse. Toei's has slightly more muted colours.

Shout!'s reds, particularly on the MegaZord Cockpit and elsewhere in the Series, is pushed towards Orange, rather than Red...

The subs are not what they could have been. Unlike the scream factory releases however, there are not affordable and legitimate alternatives for super sentai. I've gladly given shout my money for this release on day one. I'd rather give them my money for this and hope for improvements with future releases, than not give them money and hurt the chances of more super sentai. Shout has already confirmed more releases may come.

If one wants to solely stick with the fan subs, that's fine. I have access to both. This release over most really symbolizes the importance of supporting the art though imo.

Someone elsewhere did some screenshots between the releases and it's actually a lot more similar to the Japanese editions than mentioned in here. So for fans holding out because of that, it's probably not a big deal different.

I bought the DVD but also have downloads and in my opinion the subtitles are much better on the downloads.

It also includes phonetic subtitles at the top of the screen on the start/end credits if you want to sing along (the opening theme is catchy as anything) but these do not appear on the DVD.

Seems to me the fans did a much more passionate job about translating than Shout Factory did.

Also the official box art is terrible, look at the terrible photoshopping. Anyone have an alternative artowkr I can print out?

I appreciate it though and no worries about the caps :-)

I'm happy with the release. It's a surprise even getting a legit release for this in the US.

Toy1mz02 · 05-09-2015, 03:50 AM

I totally forgot about this. It was on my list to purchase. Are the subtitles really that bad?

Very inconsistant with between episodes.
Lazy translations.
Some things aren't translated early on, but then are towards the end.

That's not even considering the slightly off colour grading.

PLUS the lack of extras, which I was more than willing to supply to Brian, but he decided that he didn't want them.

Shout!Factory at their finest!

Toy1mz02 · 05-09-2015, 04:26 AM

Sounds disappointing I guess I wont be purchasing this. Thanks for the info!

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

I also wanted to get this as ZyuRanger is one of my favourite seasons!

Toy1mz02 · 05-09-2015, 04:38 AM

Hopefully it's not against the rules to ask. Are the fan subs still available online to download?

Not anymore. Once Shout! announced the domestic version, all site pulled them!

I even deleted mine in anticipation...

If you want to support super sentai, you should support this release in a legitimate way. Less than stellar subs shouldn't be a reason to refrain from purchasing this imo.

Takeshi666 · 05-09-2015, 09:20 AM

Yeah, besides, anything is better than TV-Nihon subs
