Plenty of Americans like sushi. I can a PR Shinkenger working as long as they approach it right. Have them be students at a Japanese Swordsmanship school or something, and the powers be created by their master. Where it might get wonky is when they wright kanji effects while transformed. Unless they add in some dialog about what they're writing, American kids won't get it. Then again, they let the kanji orbs in the cockpit of the Tigerzord slide by without comment and nobody ever jumps on the White Ranger as being too Japanese, so who knows.

Because Ninjastorm turned out so ba- Wait.
Kanji writing can just be attributed to Symbols used to summon or transform. Which honestly is what they are. Kids don't have to get it.
Also the reason it's only 20 episodes is because Nick only asks for 20 episodes a year usually. This does not mean the season will only be 20 episodes though.

So? The RPM toyline only launched here in the UK in December (should've been January, they showed up a few weeks early), by which time the series was already half way through on Disney XD. It's since been finished on both DXD and ITV, and is no longer airing in the UK at all. And yet they expect those toys to sell for Christmas? I'm pretty sure Bandai expected it to stay on air.

ABC kids treats the show terribly usually preempting it for college football games and the like. The fact that they put it at the end of their run where it can get preempted just shows they care just as much about PR as Disney did..

You guys are lucky, you at least GET power rangers. It's rare to find any episodes in Australia, last I checked it was Mystic Force reruns

The quality difference between the two is big though.

Not that it stopped me from watching RPM
