Curnchyroll has added Kyatto Ninden Teyandee to their catalog, following up the addition of Samurai Pizza Cats last year. From the look of things, the subtitles have been improved from the DVD release. No more blatantly censored gay joke in episode 1, for example.

Well shit, man. I was thinking about purchasing that DVD set while the price is still relatively low. They're really that bad?

Here's a post I made last year that gives some examples of problems I had:

I've only watched the first episode of the Crunchyroll release so far, but I already noticed many improvements just within that one episode.
So how does it compare to Pizza Cats?

Wow, I had no idea there was this many nudges that called Koon's sexuality into question. I really hate to see these go. I mean, the Saban dub practically banks on him being gay by not only letting him crossdress but that they gave him this super sweet feminine voice to go along with it. There really shouldn't be an issue with this.
Well, this and other forms of translation issues sure has me conflicted, especially with the current price the set sits in.

The issues with the subs were probably the fault of Tatsunoko and not Discotek. I do notice that a lot of their releases seem to have subpar subtitles though, like the Hokuto no Ken movie. and Captain Harlock is supposed to at least be worse than Live-evil.

Does this mean that you won't need to resub the show anymore? Kind of eliminates the purpose of the only fansub project you were intending to do. On one hand, it's kind of a shame, but on the other it's nice that you won't need to fruitlessly find helpers.

Both of those are productions from Toei, who are notoriously shit when it comes to handing out English translations (Discotek generally cleans up whatever scripts the Japanese companies send). The HnK movie did get a resubbed rerelease and the Mazinger sets turned out fine, though.

It's certainly not as completely off the wall (but few shows are), but it's definitely not completely boring like some people would have you think. It even has a lot of he same kinds of humor that the dub is known for, albeit somewhat less saturated. Just don't make up your mind from the first episode, it takes a while for the humor to really get into gear.

It very well could. I'd like to watch some more before I completely make up my mind, but I already am questioning whether it's worth continuing or not.
I skipped through ep 1 and saw the complaints from the tumblr post were mostly edited and fixed up. Then I decided to skip ahead and check out ep 13 and 14. They called him Korn still, the ep title called them the Four Dark Ninjas while the dialogue translated it as Four Fighters of the Dark. The "I'm Gen..." line is still there. And the line about if Pururun's left boob or right boob being bigger is still guessing her next litter size instead.
I guess they only fixed up the first episode, maybe a few more, and haven't bothered with the rest (yet?).

Also, considering these are hardsubbed, I doubt CR will be re-uploading these with any more fixed versions. I'll admit ep 1 having the errors fixed sent me for a loop, but if there is some project at Discotek to fix this up, it wasn't very far along when these went up.

Damn, that's disappointing. I had only watched the first two episodes, and they were both greatly improved.
Episode 3 was also improved, currently watching episode 4 and it's also improved. Glad to see they took the obvious route of translating the "nekobaba" pun as "cat burglar". That one is so obvious that even with the issues that the initial DVD release had, I was surprised that it simply didn't bother to attempt to translate the pun at all.
