"Kiru", depending on Kanji/Kana used, can also mean "to Cut".
what are the weapons of the series?
Scissors.
Thus they could've been going for the multi-tiered pun with the name; Cut and Kill the dress; alluding to both the act of shredding clothes and killing the alien in them.

Japan has a problem with depicting LGBT characters as perverse predators who sexually harass/assault 'normies' in their mainstream works (as opposed to LGBT-targeted ones). Mineta being Bi buys into that in the worst way, Thus the desire for this to be a mistranslation.
@dantheshive
Someone will always guess right. What matters is if they guess it, and still like it. If so, a plot was well made and the twist appreciated.
If people can guess the plot and dislike it...maybe they should consider why that is. But that rarely happens.
@MercuryFalcon
Mr. Cheese did a video on it. The original creator Gray Haddock crunched the animation team and ended up fired, and the staff that replaced the S1 team were a mix of 'had not seen' and 'did not like' mecha anime; thus didn't grasp what they were doing.
There is an entire genre of film-making that revolves around putting actors in body-covering suits like Spartan armor that has been around for 70+ years, which expect actors to emote and showcase emotion while suited up through nothing but body language.
It can and has been done.
Pablo Schreiber, who plays Master Chief in the Halo show, explained why Master Chief doesn’t always wear his helemet: “You're not going to be able to bring an audience along in a long-form story without having access to a character's face, which tells you what they're feeling,
@SuedeBlade
Neither of those are true, though. The film was delayed three months from its original intended release to AVOID Crunch, and The MPS Vancouver Studio was shut down due to regional competition, loss of tax incentives and Corp restructuring un-associated with the film.
@revivedreplayer
@daphhime
It actually wouldn't be the first time with MHA, though. There was dialogue earlier that implied All Might might be Bi, which was gutted from the Anime's Dub.
Then again that's Funimation, who also made Tohru in Dragon Maid Come off AS a predator with the dub's dialogue rewrites
@AngryJoeShow
Always worth it to note that the 'curse' only existed for Hollywood adaptations of games, there's been plenty Japan's done or helped make that've been great as they respected the source material or knew what to do with it. Western ones not so much until the last few years.

@TheDailyShow
the judge already threatened to declare 'mistrial with prejudice' when the prosecution asked a question the defense had opened to door to which the judge didn't like, and threw out video zoom because 'it changes the content of the video' (it doesn't). He's looking for excuses.
@Mlickles
Also love this baby because it does not target, and there's a *lot* of super-powered monsters in the game that you can't use Magic cylinder on because it targets.
@180223
oh the baffling ways people misinterpret both the thematic purpose of Gundam and how its storytelling has evolved, only to be proven wrong consistently as there's more to it than being 'anti-war propaganda'.
@ERodBuster1
Funny story; I didn't know Samus was a girl until years after I first made her my main in smash bros (64 and Melee), because earlier days of the internet & I hadn't played Metroid. When I did, I thought it was neat.
That is how a sane, reasonable person should react to such news.
@Matthew29412271
The uproar at Disney is they financially backed Florida politicians that passed the worst anti-LGBT legislation seen in years, and continued to support said reps when everyone else stopped; while also cancelling TOH and Amp. So their "support" is now seen as 'performative'.
Let's make this clear: the 2011 series was LIKED, CN screwed over its release and distribution, and gave it's *ALREADY ASSIGNED* Season 2 budget to the Lego Chima series (that bombed) before cancelling it.
This is an entirely new low for CN, and why people *HATE* TTG-styled shows
@Nash076
So in short, it's the same reasons CN arbitrarily cancelled Young Justice, the green lantern series, Symbiotic Titan and a bunch of things that, to all reports, WERE Successful and garnering fanbases needed for longer runs, but weren't built for merchandising, so got canned.
@FUNimation
Neat.
Assuming the Translators chosen aren't already acquainted (I know there's some Toku fans in your offices), There's fansubs for W's main show if your TL's want to check the terminology in use/character dynamics in play. There were some flubs with Gridman, it couldn't hurt.

@epicdndmemes
And the joke was the DM forgoing that (plus other responders noting the size limit for the spell) and just saying they became a bunch of tiny, insect-sized Elephants. I've seen DM's do that kind of thing to balance players trying to do game breaker stuff with assist of a roll
@Nash076
The show *Had* good, stable ratings and people watching, only slightly less than Adventure Time did that year. Teen Titans Go has always had fewer watchers than TC did. CN Shafted its airing schedule and timeslot due to issues related to toysales, as the toys were poor quality.
@draquaza70
A competent cook tastes their food before serving it to others to make sure it was cooked right or fit for consumption.
He, Pyra and Nia had to put up with Mythra's Cooking; they likely put in place systems/habits over time to prevent her food poisoning them or their kids.
@KitaSean6
And also being threatened by sentai monsters of the week.
This is her in an episode of Gingaman. She was also Young/Flashback Mari Sonoda in Kamen Rider 555.
@kotetsutoysjp
It's another attempt at public relations to shift the blame for what's wrong with Modern Power Rangers; trying to make the Sentai used out as a scapegoat to justify not using it.
Really the main issue is the poor writing, and has been for years. Going All-original won't fix that
@PowerfulHag
Someone saw Suicide Squad.
Then again, isn't it, like, almost the 2100's in the yugioh timeline by this point? It actually is an ancient relic for them.
@Nash076
I was up for Jury selection recently; had a painful moment where the guy I was next to proudly hoped he'd be selected for the Rittenhouse Civil Trials as he couldn't wait to shaft the families of his victims.
Though he said it in less polite words that I won't repeat.
@Manabingu
the irony to this is it got nominated and won because 4kids violated their contractual agreement and refused to air episodes (later addressed by putting them on streaming), but the CW liked the show and picked the skipped ones up to air them at odd timeslots in the day.
@LossThief
We're at over a dozen series Sunrise has produced where this is a theme, and it becomes more overt every time as people keep ignoring the message because to them 'it's a toy commercial for plamo'.
One does not by default negate the other.
Naruhisa Arakawa: " I have spent literally my entire career clarifying and showing that all these series (Except Kyuranger which did it to itself) exist in the same universe."
Shinichiro Shirakura: "I have spent my entire career literally not giving a shit."
Oh no......
I know there are some exceptions. But haven't most Sentai teams existed in the same universe for years? Not separate realities? This does not bode well
For context, the one complaining about Promare's translation is one who thinks Localizers have the right to rewrite (make wholly unnecessary changes) whatever they work on to reflect what they think Should have been said instead of what WAS said. I.E. Ignore the Script entirely.
@egoraptor
I watched it, but it had crap timeslots leading to crap views. And CN made the show's longevity dependent on toysales, but the toys released by Bandai of America were not good quality and poorly distributed. BOA products have sold poorly for years because of their quality issues.
@yugiohtas
Yeah, the Universe hates Gills
Worse, the Gills suit wasn't stored correctly after Agito's end, so water exposure it experienced during production wasn't dried out, leading the foam it was made with to rot. This photo's from when they first discovered its condition around 2009.
@_Captain_Duck
Which is the point. Multiple societies consider it Evil to openly rebel against those in positions of authority, even when they may be Tyrants. Thus morally Good/correct people stained in the image of 'The Devil' to save the innocent is a recurring trope, espectially in JP media
@emi64555
@GreatCheshire
Though the conferences for THAT game ended up even more hilarious, what with DMC's varied connections to Super Sentai and Power Rangers.
@DorkAssJC
Lists sites like this are incapable of distinguishing between character-focused episodes and actual 'nothing that happened matters' filler. It's disappointing.
@luulubuu
I would Adore a PXZ3 if it managed to get Atoli into the .hack character representation Mix. Let her and Haseo pal around properly with Kite and Blackrose, 'cause while Kite with Haseo was fun, it was missing a little something in the paradigm. Still loved it PXZ2.

@verge
This needs to be limited to monetization earned from the sections of the video where that music is present. If a video is an hour long and 10 seconds of a song is used, the company should NOT be entitled to 1/2 of all earnings after YT's 45% take (that's where the 27.5% is from)
Said early on G-Witch felt like Code Geass with some role reversals/relation swaps, and this is playing out like the start of R2's endgame with Lelouch(Mio) forcing a Separation from Kallen(Suletta) to save her life, while they go on to hijack a seat of power.
Better handled, tho
@GarionOrb
@AngryJoeShow
A self-mocking parody episode of Stargate Literally called out the kind of brainless writing that is present in Picard. How you described Halo is what trek fans have been saying about new trek since Discovery.
@tanukimo_imo
If we had a nickel for every time Sunrise/Bandai has screwed over a ship Okouchi intended...we'd have 3 nickels.
It'd be 2, but the 1st one they did across 2 timelines of the same series, with them deliberately making it "Ambiguous" the 1st time to leverage the 2nd
@Retroranger18
Masaya Matsukaze's a fair candidate for that. Guy's gotten around, even came back to Sentai a couple times in VA Roles, such as Endolf in Kyoryuger.
"Man, I love Chuchu; Why can't SHE be the protagonist."
Because Chuchu only chose violence & before this event was directing it at everyone. It's only because of the wakeup call interacting w/ Suletta caused that she's changing.
Good protagonists help other characters develop.
@RedMemoraiza
Dude, The word LITERALLY Means "Special Filming", in reference to Live-action special effects. The genre has its roots in live Kabuki and Bunraku performance art, but Eiji Tsuburaya's work with Godzilla is what got it off the ground, due to him wanting to make things look REAL.
@yugiohtas
That runs deeper, too. Ayumi Kinoshita, Aki Izayoi/Akiza Izinski's actress, guest-starred in an episode of Kamen Rider W during 5D's run. As she's normally a live-action actress whose career got boosted when she played Jasmine Reimon in the sentai series Dekaranger.
I'd say Kyle Higgins is the best writer for anything Power Rangers related in a long time, considering he properly, carefully and intelligently factored in seemingly divergent continuity, cross-media campaigns and promotional material.
@Manabingu
Yep, That's from Power Rangers RPM in 2009. It's a high-rated season, usually ranked in the top 5 if not top 3 of all PR...but it's been mistreated as a producer that didn't like it had it retconned into occurring as an AU story.
@UkiyaSeed
Especially since there is a larger fanbase that is just pirating the japanese versions (or watching Tsuburaya's YT releases) than is tuning in to the newer American series, because by-and-large the Tokusatsu roots and storytelling have proven themselves to last.
@FUNimation
Glad to see Miura's getting all the international spotlight after he did Great work on Kamen Rider Ex-Aid. Say what you will of Toei, but the composers and artists they Commission for their series so regularly knock it out of the park.
@GameStopNFT
Can't wait to see Gamestop's stock fall again from this.
NFT's are a scam, and the market for them is dead as it has been widely acknowledged that they, as well as Crypto by and large, ARE a Scam banking on the same fraud that caused the 2008 crash.

At this point we really should start taking 'the fans are to blame' as code for the executives are deflecting blame. As it keeps being used as code for executives making messes they try to deflect over.
To reiterate, Msami Obari never claimed Plagiarism, some idiot mistranslated a statement.
THIS IS THE IMPORTANCE OF KNOWING WHAT'S INTENDED TO BE SAID AND STICKING WITH THAT OVER A REINTERPRETATION.

@Merides_
They got rid of a man for sexual harassment and abusive behavior--behavior I once witnessed myself at a Con. That's More egregious. And if you forgot the facts of the case, Funi's parent company Sony representatives did the investigation and found grounds for him to be fired.
@UkiyaSeed
More of this? They've been in a Creative rut for years. Sentai might've not helped as the last decade has had a LOT of bad shows, but that was no excuse for PR's lacking merits and poor writing.
Case in point, Sentai didn't make a PR team commit an act of Genocide.
The people who made the halo tv show stated with pride in interviews that they did not play the game or pay attention to the lore.
It's literally the same problem every time; just sheer arrogance.
@Anime
Would help if this poll was more comprehensive; there's a LOT of pairings left out, yet includes ones that were never confirmed, implied or showcased in even supplementary media.
@StephenSeanFord
We've been hoping that could be a thing.
...as long as it avoids what happened when Takuya and Leopardon appeared in the Spiderverse Event comic.
