Name two super sentais you would like to be fully subbed

Going off the Changeman scripts I have from him, it seems Deadfish did: 9-20, 22-24, 26-29, 34-55 and movie 2.

So, you'd miss quite a few if you skip all the ones he didn't touch.

Hmm well the link shadowrydera provided does include 30-33, so I'll check they don't suddenly switch to raws or subs in another language before I go any further with it. From times when Deadfish was mentioned in the past on these forums, it seems he started with the plot episodes and then started filling in the stand-alone ones. So I just hope those skipped ones aren't important.
Episode 25 you can skip, but 21 is gloriously wonderful and amazing, you have to see it, believe me.
You're missing a lot of funny stuff if you skip 25. :disappoin
Well, I'd go and track down raws of them, but as I don't speak Japanese it would basically just be a test of their mime skills.
 
Kakuranger and Timeranger

I'd also like a lot of the TVN work to be redone by a more competent group. A lot of the seasons those guys have done are so bad they're barely worth watching. Particularly the ones with their infamous "guess-subs".
 
I`d say Turboranger as it`d be fun to see just why it`s infamously the worst Sentai show and meant to be completely off the wall.

Goranger because it`s the first show and still fairly respected. Be nice to know where all these tokusatsu tropes have finally come from!

Eh, Turboranger's not exactly well-regarded by most fans, but I think Goggle V, Fiveman and Go-onger are more hated and more frequently titled "worst Sentai" shows. Goggle V, especially, is pretty much the Sentai that takes the most beating.
 
What exactly does Goggle V get pounded on for? It doesn't seem like a series that a lot of English speaking fans have seen, sooo I'm guessing the JApanese don't like it?

Goofy concept, absolutely no storyline, generic characters, the kid helpers. I mean, I kind of like Goggle V for some weird reason, but it's definitely not a classic.

I've seen enough English-speaking fans slam the show, but, yeah, it's not exactly a favorite of the Japanese fans, either. (But sometimes I'm like "What do they know? They like Boukenger.")
 
What I've seen of Goggle V is very crude. It seems to be a direct result of the awkward transitional period after Battle Fever J but before Dynaman, where Toei's changing things up a lot from show to show and trying to figure out exactly what people want Sentai to be. Goggle V happens to be the show furthest from the mark Toei finally hit with Dynaman, so it's not remembered half so fondly as Sun Vulcan or Denjiman.

I have a hard time getting really angry at a transitional show like Goggle V, for basically the same reason I can't get mad at Fiveman. Those shows are kind of weird and strange (and kinda boring) to watch now, but it's obvious to me how they're necessary links in Sentai's process of evolution. Just as Fiveman figured out how stunts and FX would work in the 90s, Goggle V kind of figured out what Sentai really couldn't be if it was to survive.

Go-onger is absolutely a worse show than Turboranger. I think there was a sincere desire to make a good show with Turboranger, but things just didn't work out. The production team was too burnt out, the budget too small, and the concept too ambitious. I can imagine any number of ways Turboranger could've been good series, and I think its failings taught Soda's successors a lot of good and necessary lessons.

When it comes to Go-onger, I think everyone involved knew exactly what they were making and just didn't fucking care. Go-onger initiates a process of sustained devolution in Sentai, and really digs the franchise into a hole that it still hasn't gotten out of. I think Shinkenger was a big hit simply because its production team couldn't have been influenced by Go-onger, whereas everything from Goseiger on has suffered from it.

Anyway, some people get kind of mad when a 'bad' show gets subbed over a 'good' show. But there's no accounting for taste, and if a translator wants to get all of Turboranger or Goggle V or whatever out there, why stop them? People ultimately do their best work, whether on classics or kitsch, when they're motivated and they really enjoy the material. If the bad stuff is subbed, then people can at least watch it and form their own opinions.
