Manga Entertainment Brings Saban’s Mighty Morphin Power Rangers to the UK for Home Video!
It’s nearly time for the new adaptation of Saban’s Power Rangers but now Manga Entertainment have stepped up their game with a very special license.
In the past Manga Entertainment have put out a couple live-action titles every now and then, but this is a first where we witness an American adaptation of a Japanese TV Show arrive into their catalogue!
“Another fantastic franchise to add to our ever expanding catalogue of successful brands,” said Andrew Hewson, Marketing Manager at Manga UK. “This is an amazing opportunity for us to work closely with Saban Brands to bring this iconic and much beloved franchise to UK fans!”
That’s right. Saban’s Power Rangers has been licensed by Manga Entertainment and will be coming to UK home video starting this April on DVD in complete season sets. The license covers the first 1993 series Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, the 2015 series Power Rangers Dino Charge and its second season Dino Super Charge.
Power Rangers became a phenomenon and a global sensation across the 90s and beyond, bringing multiple seasons to children’s programming and tons of toys and figurines. The franchise is even notable for using various footage from the Japanese Super Sentai series broadcasted from Toei Animation (most notably the 1992 series Kyōryū Sentai Zyuranger) as its main source for many of the franchise’s origins and battles that we have grown to recognise. Toei did eventually release the original Japanese show that the first season of Power Rangers localised under the name Galaxy Rangers.
Existing fans and even newcomers to the franchise can now relive the origin of the well beloved Power Rangers franchise thanks to Manga Entertainment. IT’S MORPHIN TIME!
