Shout! Factory obtains rights to Next Mutation

Mighty Bebop · 03-12-2012, 08:00 AM

I didn't know if anyone else happened to catch this or not, but it was buried deep in an article about Shout! getting the DVD rights to most of the Power Rangers series.

http://tvshowsondvd.com/news/Mighty-...-Planned/16646

Quote:

"However, the deal DOES include other Saban programs, including Big Bad Beetleborgs (a.k.a. Beetleborgs Metallix), V.R. Troopers, and the short-lived live-action show Ninja Turtles: The Next Mutation. The HMM story by John Latchem reports that the "Initial rollout plans for the Saban are slated to begin in summer 2012, according to Shout! Factory, with single-season sets to start and potentially complete-series sets in the future."

I so will be getting this when it comes out. It's not nearly as bad as people make it out to be. No worse then some of the OT seasons.

*ZariusTwo* · 03-12-2012, 08:15 AM

Yeah, I put this up in the Power Rangers thread we have here. I was just about to bring up the fact SF can release NM when I saw your thread.

NM's a peice of s*it, but at least this'll shut the completists up.

*CyberCubed* · 03-12-2012, 08:57 AM

So Shout wants to release this, instead of proper DVD season sets of the 4kids series which everyone wants?

Yeah, real smart there.

*Cowabunga Carl* · 03-12-2012, 09:36 AM

4kids shot that to hell themselves though by releasing 4 ep disks and season sets in parts. They saturated the market and put out tons of the same things on multiple disks. From a financial standpoint it doesn't make sense for them to put it out.

TNM hasn't been released on DVD yet state side. For them looking at it, they aren't going to have to compete nearly as heavily with people already having it. Now if people will actually buy it that's another mater.

I'll get it because I don't think it is nearly as bad as people make it out to be. Yes it's goofy, yes it's cheesy, but not any more so then the later seasons of the OT. I think a lot of it is that people saw the OT as children and still look at it with those kinds of eyes, where as TNM was seen as older children/adults. Taste changes. Those same slapstick antics aren't as appealing as they used to be.

TNM was seen as childish drivel. Which it was. It wasnt for "older children/adults", stop talking through your rose-tinted arse just because you want to justify you liking a show everyone with good taste hates.

I know this is likely an impossible request, but just try to stop saying stupid things.

Shout picked up Power Rangers, TNM just happened to be included. It had nothing to do with picking TNM over the 4Kids series. And I already have the 4Kids series on DVD, so I would much rather get TNM.

This isn't the place to be insulting people's opinions just because they aren't the same as yours. This isn't a "Discuss the merits of The Next Mutation" topic.

The 4kids DVDs went to hell during Seasons 3 and 4 with episodes constantly out of order. It's impossible for a newcomer to follow the series without and episode list handy.

Most of these DVDs were aimed at children and were not proper sets until the last batch. Shout giving the entire series proper DVD sets is something many hope for as they release old Nick properties to DVD.

Way to not read what I said. What I said was that we saw TNM as older children, which is different then seeing it as kids. When it came out those of us in our teens weren't it's target audience. But then to those who are just full of hate it's hard to actually pay attention to others meaning.

Don't know about Next Mutation (yet), but man, I'd pay some money, to relive the excitement I've experienced, of the Power Rangers quashing Rita Repulsa's monsters, as well as some Bulk & Skull slapstick!

Gyt Kaliba · 03-12-2012, 01:29 PM

Should've figured someone would already have posted about this here, I heard about it earlier this morning on an anime forum I frequent/moderate.

Can't say I'm that big on NM, but you can bet I'll be getting it just because. I'll watch it at least once, but after that...well, it'll be to say I have it. I'm one of those 'completionists' that were mentioned.

*gobo* · 03-12-2012, 01:41 PM

I wonder if it'll get a DVD release before my marathon this summer. I'd rather watch DVD-quality uncut garbage than Netflix's lousy streaming picture quality.

Unlikely. If they're smart, they'll wait till the Nicktoon debuts, then ride that wave of hype to some decent sales numbers.

Yeah for sure, I'll definitely be buying the NM set! Although it's not held in the greatest of esteems, I think NM had some good storylines, and a live action show for TMNT is just awesome in and of itself.

*sdp* · 03-12-2012, 03:12 PM

Like it's been stated they didn't pick up TNM, they picked up the license to Saban Brands live action Toku stuff which includes PR's, BBB's, VRT's and TNM. And yes if they're smart they'd wait to release TNM until the Nick show or movie comes out, also this states they have the license to release the DVD sets not that they are planning to release them.

Too bad it won't have the original theme song but at least it's getting released on DVD, it'd be nice if they included the Power Rangers episode where they crossed over but I'm not counting on it.
