It's on at 11:30est where I live. I've recorded every episode.

The constant scedual-juggling, the lack of visible advertising, the complete failure to promote the show in any way... ye gods, it's Firefly all over again!

Those brainless, benighted barf-buckets better not end the show on a cliffhangar, that's all I can say. *preps sniper rifle*

I agree with ya. They didn't even bother to see the fansites & forums that were put up by Dragon fans.

Which just adds weight to the whole "They're idiots" argument.

Some fans even wrote fanfics for the series. I wrote three back to back to back at the beginning of the year.

They kinda are gonna end it like that. The last 3 episodes are a 3-part trilogy title "For Earth & Ventara". Part 1 will air on Dec. 26 but then thats it. CW will no longer have it listed for watching on TV so it'll sorta end on a cliffhanger. But it is rumored that either CW for Kids or 4KIDS TV station will air the remaining 2 episodes on their website channels though it may not happen.

That sucks. It's not like it's the show's fault that their advertising sucked hose water. :rolleyes:

I prefer to record them so I can watch them later and write my stories.

First they're cancelling Power Rangers and now Dragon Knight. Will there be any tokusatsu left for America?!

Same here. I pick up on words here & there with the English Subtitles, but those take too long to wait.

Exactly. HK subs are horrible if you're a grammar nazi and dubbing is just plain cringe-worthy at times. I hope that if there's going to be more tokusatsu here in America later on and they won't get botched.

I grew up watching Power Rangers and Masked Rider, and it's hard seeing them go like that even though I don't watch them anymore.

I think there was a petition online somewhere to get Dragon Knight back. But I can't seem to find it.

I'm part of the Order Of Zeronos Forum. But not as a Fan Subber. I also recently joined TV-Nihon's forum. Those two sites sub Kamen Rider & Super Sentai.

And Power Rangers is a big part of my life. Likewise with a lot of us.

Mike, HJU has the link for that petition over on their front page in the topic for KRDK's cancellation.

It seemed I was slightly mistaken. The final episode period will be 4KID's site (hoepfully) on 12-26-09. Just keep on eye out on their site for now. Who knows, maybe Disney XD will pick it up in the future.

One of the main reasons why PR is getting canceled is because it doesn't have a big audience anymore. Plus a lot fo the series havent brouhgt in much revenue and it's expensive to keep all production in New Zeland.

A smaller reason may be with the fact that this years' SS is samurai based. Most american shows have no problems with using Ninja motifs but using one for a samurai would be hard to adapt into an american show unless all the cast was of asian culture or mixed heritage. That wouldn't be too hard to pull off but, meh, this is Disney we're talking about.

Here's a link to that petition.

Thanks a lot man. And I agreed with what you said about Sentai getting too "Asian" for Shikenger and Goseiger even. The thing is that some Americans don't want their kids to be exposed to certain cultures yet.

My second-in-command at KRRU has been working on his own adaptation of Shinkenger: Power Rangers Elemental Blade

And I figured that the mentor could have been a HUGE fan of the Japanese culture if they did Americanize Shinkenger.

Hey, so now Kamen Rider Dragon Knight won't be cancel according to this:

Adness Entertainment:

“On behalf of Kamen Rider Dragon Knight and

Adness Entertainment, I wanted to personally thank all the fans for the

tremendous outpouring of support we have received for the show.

Kamen Rider Dragon Knight is, as of now, scheduled to

air through December 26, 2009. The broadcaster has the option of taking a break

from the series to make way for any special programming they may have planned

for January 2010. We want to assure our fans that the channel is free to bring

back Kamen Rider and continue to air the series at any time.

After December 26th, the last two episodes of the

series will be available for online viewing on the 4Kids website.

Again, thank you for watching and for your support.”

So Kamen Rider Dragon Knight will resume after a short break around end of December and beginning of January. So that's great news after all! And if it won't be air on television, you still can watch the ending on 4Kids's website.

Let's hope we get to see those episodes on TV.

I sent the petition link to some friends/fellow Rider Fans. One of them even sent it to her Yahoo! club.

That's good; at least they'll know we liked the series and want to see more of it. I signed the petition, myself. I hope we get to see the finale on TV, personally; it looks better on a bigger screen. And I hope it comes out on DVD sometime, at least.
