To be honest, I think the only reason it has 25 seasons is precisely because of how cheap this glorified dubbing probably is.

First of all, as someone who has seen all the seasons of Sentai and power rangers going back to Zyu/mighty morphing... no. Super Sentai is not some high work of Japanese art that saban butchered. Super Sentai is a toy-driven kiddy show, that sometimes can get goofier than power rangers ever does. Yes, some seasons of Sentai are superior to PR, but some seasons are terrible, with far supeior power rangers counterparts, both shows are a mixed bag.Toei sees Super Sentai as a kiddie show- their big boy show that gets all the attention/makes all the money is kamen rider. And PR survived because it has remained a consistent stream of revenue for over two decades.
