My personal opinion on the main-streaming of sentai/tokusatsu into American culture is this: sentai is at the same crossroads that anime found itself at in the 80s-early 90s. Up until that point, anime had been available only on a very limited basis to the public with the exception of such series as Speed Racer and Voltron which were seen as Saturday Morning Cartoons for the pre-teen set. That all changed when movies like Akira and Vampire Hunter D and series like Neon Genesis Evangelion and Rurori Kenshin were released to the public in uncut format. The reaction? Anime was acknowledged by entertainment leaders as a genre unto itself and fans of all ages embraced the various forms that have been pouring in since.

If sentai/tokusatsu could do the same thing, then we could very well see the same result. It would require finding a series that would fall outside the typical realm of Power Rangers-esque. In my opinion, some of the old school sentai or Kamen Rider could easily do this. It would not happen quickly mind you, but slowly I believe that an older, more mature sentai or tokusatsu could very easily win over a new generation of Japanese Live-Action fans.

I hope that happens and like we get to see Kamen Rider Ryuki done with an American cast. That'd be awesome as hell!

Personally I'd rather see Kamen Rider Black or Kamen Rider Agito. Ryuuki is good, but is a little to off-beat from the rest of the Kamen Rider tradition for my tastes. But then again, it could be good.

Well somehow Ultraman Tiga and Kikaida got popular here but those shows suck, and the older tokusatsu programs would be labeled cheesy by the general public (anyone who watching crap like friends and american idol) so that's a bad idea.

A lot of people said the same thing about Akira and older animes, but look where we are now.

It happens... there are some true fans among us, and then there are the perverts who just want to watch naked girls with grossly enlarged breasts. Every fandom has its fair share of those.

I think they should Americanize Kamen Rider Faizu.. Personally, I love the costume.. and it pays tribute to the old Masked Rider. Especially after being gone for so long, I think that's important if they were to bring it back.
