Definitely just subbed, they only tend to redo stuff with Western actors if it's a) really popular or b) for kids.

Well, this makes more sense than masked rider and dragon knight. not too sure how close MR was to RX, and DK was made years after Ryuki. If they were to borrow footage to try KR in the west again, this would be the opportune time.

Huh? They're still filming the show in Japan and creating it there. It's just probably going to get ported to the streaming service in sub form like Luna said. I don't think they even dub the Sentai series brought over to America. It'd probably cost way too much to do an American version of it.

Come to think of it, I sometimes wonder how Power Rangers is staying successful enough to keep going the way it does. I wonder what's more expensive, live action American toku or making cartoons?

I think the reason PR is successful as is is because they use footage from the sentai counterpart. KR did the same with DK. I think the one i caught out using japanese fotoage was super megaforce. There was a bright yellow sign in the distance with what looked like katakana writen on it.

But they still do out of suit fighting and action scenes and use CGI don't they? That plus the money they pay for the stock footage makes me wonder how successful they are. Especially since it seems like kids play with toys a lot less now. I honestly can't remember the last time I saw a kid with a Power Rangers shirt or playing with a Power Rangers figure.
