Well, the question raises itself, if they took basically all their visual cues from DYRL, and a lot of storyline cues ( like that Minmay, Roy and Kaifun were also abducted by the Zentraedi ).... where does that leave the TV series?
This kind of lack of clarity stokes my fear that Kawamori will give Alto to Ranka in the movie and declare that the "official" continuity.
