I still remember growing up and experiencing the transition to ABC Kids and the Disney era Power Rangers show.
Shinzo mention! Shuki Levy sounds like a real piece of work. I think I've seen some people online talk about actually first experiencing Precure through Glitter Force. I think the movie had its heart in the right place but lost sight of what it was adapting to a degree. The didn't need to so dramatically redesign the suits and Megazarod, CG Putty's weren't great, and we barely got to see the team in their suits before the Zords showed up. |

Disney would continue to make seasons of Power Rangers, moving production from Los Angeles to New Zealand for the next series Power Rangers Ninja Storm and continued producing seasons of the series until 2010. They would also continue to produce dubs of the next two Digimon series Frontier and Fusion,
Technically, Disney stopped producing new seasons of PR in 2009; they also actually did Data Squad, not Fusion. Saban Brands would also create a new programming block, Vortexx, to replace the previous The CW programming block after the bankruptcy of 4Kids Entertainment. This programming block would mostly feature reruns of animated programs and anime series picked up from 4Kids, like Yu-Gi-Oh!, Dragon Ball Z Kai, and Sonic X. Saban would return to dubbing anime by bringing over Digimon Xros Wars in 2014 under the title Digimon Fusion. Technically, Nicktoons aired DBZ Kai before the CW did, and Digimon Fusion premiered on Nickelodeon in 2013 before moving to Nicktoons later that year before briefly airing on the CW. |

Every time I read about what Shuki Levi did or the Saban's wheelings and dealings with Power Rangers, it turns my stomach. Also, his ownership of Univision was just plain weird; I feel like this was something I heard of when I was younger, but I can't remember. One shudders to think of the history behind Don Francisco...

As much as I utterly despise Glitter Force, it was VERY popular with kids, many are the comments that Glitter Force was their childhood, their first anime or the first time they drew any cartoon characters. The problem with Glitter Force is that it simply monetized through streaming and cancelled the insane amounts of merch needed to make the show viable, and it was never going to be a hit on streaming with the amount of insulting edits and changes done to the show. Streaming offers uncut Sailor Moon and other uncut anime, why not watch those?
This is why I hope the relaunch Toei is planning takes off and is fully uncut, without a divided fanbase, the show has a way bigger chance of actually succeeding. |
