Comment:
The first of the three titles (followed by Genseishin Justirisers and Chōsei Kantai Sazer-X) that comprised the short-lived Chōseishin Series from 2003 to 2006.

According to an issue of Animerica magazine, Chōseishin GranSazer was rumored to have been licensed for U.S. distribution by Lions Gate Entertainment. Since then, there has been no word on whether or not the rumor has been confirmed. However, Toho and Konami continued lobbying to have the series distributed internationally to fully compete with Toei's Super Sentai Series franchise (which is licensed by Disney as Power Rangers) until the failure of Sazer X killed all hopes.
