Ken Narita (Denziman OP) also passed away some years ago, we lost two Sentai OP singers.

>>23448731 (OP)
;_; I'll really miss NoB
Glad that at the very least just like Yuka Motohashi and Ozzy Osborne he managed to do one last concert before passing

The Blues

>>23448766
Cute milf Nao...

I dropped Dynaman halfway through I'm sorry showa bros I just can't enjoy older toku like I used to.

>>23448789
Admitting your weaknesses is the first step to growth.

>>23448789
>like I used to
So you might be burnt out from older toku, happened to me once, I had to watch recent stuff alongside some anime

It was another time indeed.

>>23448809
This kind of young man bravado with wanting to look over the divider wall to see naked girls is like a classic Japanese trope. It's in so many things aimed at teenage boys and the like.

>>23448810
Yeah, but it's being a while since I have seen it on recent shows.

>>23448825
They did it in My Hero Academia.

>>23448731 (OP)
he also made good inserts
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vdMJdhYKs08

>>23448826
Yeah, modern shonen anime still indulges in tropes like this. Shit like Persona does too.
Though in HeroAca it's usually the grape kid that instigates it because his character is "unrepentant sex pest."

Doctor Kemp, you're alive!

>>23448825
>>23448835
No wonder I didn't notice, I'm not really into shounen anime.

>>23448835
The unrepentant sex pest is also an anime trope as old as anime itself. Mineta is just a watered down modern day Master Roshi or Happosai.

>>23448842
>I'm not really into shounen anime.
>He says while watching Super Sentai
Anon, most tokusatsu is just live action shonen anime.

>>23448858
It's shonen adjacent I'd say. King-Ohger is the closest it's gotten to basically just being live action shonen.

>>23448858
For some reason I prefer toku like sentai and rider over shounen jump anime, when it comes to anime I prefer /m/ stuff and shoujo.

>>23448825
they should do it to Sumino

>>23448864
What is it about shoujo anime that you prefer over shounen if you don't mind me asking?

>>23448869
Characters most likely, I have watched pre-2000 shounen and early 2000 ones, but the current shounen just don't click with me for some reason.

>>23448866

You're gonna want to sit down for this.

was boonboomger praised when it was airing here? because i feel like i wasted my time watching this series.one of my favorite rangers from one of my least liked series was a focus for a whole fucking episode, and the dude didnt even transform. i should have known then that this would leave a bad taste in my mouth

>>23448946
I thought it was interesting how some members left for a few episodes or how even though the bad guys came from space some humans were also bad guys, but yeah, it isn't my favorite reiwa season, not even top 3.

>>23448946
Praised for the first quarter then it started to sour over Q2 with the mad scientist general and his negative screen presence.
Boonboomger's overall reception pretty much became "good but kinda mid (but the rangers (not Sakito) were very good.)"

>>23448946
Fuck no. It was so uninteresting that by the second half no one even bothered making episode threads.

>>23448946
>The gaijin, whether he arrives from across the ocean, or across the galaxy, must be repelled for the good of Nippon.
I wasn't expecting that from a kids' show at all.

>>23448913
Still would idgaf.

I miss rollcalls and henshin sequences.

>>23448810
It was also a western trope in old movies and shows.

>>23448976
Since when they stopped?

>>23448981
You mean with teens looking into female locker rooms and such? That's the more western version of the trope.

>>23448983
The only rollcall so far was a gag.

>>23448947
the villain didnt feel as destructive as past villains did. the previous series villains were interesting and destructive. if michael jackson was trying bulldoze earth or something that would seemingly have catastropic consequences i might have liked this a little more but nope. and on that note whats with the celebrity naming?

>>23448949
>>23448954

that makes me feel better, but i kinda wish i was paying attention myself. i could have skipped and gone straight to gavv or the new one

>>23448955
foreigners cant be too weird, or have to be completely upstanding like the patoranger chief(anyone else dissapointed we didnt get ant axel foley esque shenanigans from him)

Domon and Ran

>>23449148
Dolphin and pom

>>23448866
Why is it that I wanna fuck Sumino but at the same time she's wayy too young for me

I really hate that King-Ohger's rollcall just announce the king's names instead of their Ohger.

>>23448976
They still do henshin sequences
For Gozyuger the rollcalls were replaced with those VS callouts with cheerleaders

>>23448946
It was praised for its first 8 episodes and some aspects of the final arc, but the general consensus is that the show is eh.
We don't know why but the main writer left the show after episode 11 and didn't properly return until 26, it's why Cannonborg is the only villain that doesn't have any thematic relevance with the whole anti-commercialism message that the show is going for until they retcon his whole deal on episode 29.

>>23449178
>until they retcon his whole deal on episode 29.
is it even a retcon tho

>>23449182
Well yeah, I don't think it was ever foreshadowed that he was doing deals with humans, but then again I hated the second quarter so much I might have missed that

>>23449153
just jack off to her, it's not like you'll get a chance to be with her unless you're Filipino

https://twitter.com/Gozyu_toei/status/1956647633952317879
Hoeru and Seki.

>>23448976
Boonboomger literally had a traditional roll call.

Shinkenger has my favorite roll call

Simple but unique and fitting

didn't know this got subbed
>>23449291
I wouldn't say shinkenger is simple

wait, when did they last meet

For being a self parody series, Carranger has some genuinely great action sequences. The mech action is particularly really good.

>>23449410
every Sentai eventually have offscreen meetup, like I remember in one of Rider specials have a scene where Terui and Oren already knew each other despite never shown to meet onscreen

>>23449410
I want to say they interacted in Strongest Battle, but I don't remember exactly.

>>23449410
Dino House

>>23449410
Heisei Sentai vs. Showa Sentai: Super Sentai Taisen feat. Kamen Rider (2018)

>>23449705
were they even in strongest battle

>>23449598
Part of the reason Carranger is great is that is both a parody and an actual good sentai on its own.

>>23449726
I think so but they're the ones without original actors or onscreen appearance.
The only ones aren't included in Strongest Battle are the dino teams; Zyuranger, Abaranger, Kyoryuger, and obviously Ryusoulger but Green and Black appeared in the final battle.

is carranger even a parody anymore since goofy nonsense that doesn't even pretend to take itself seriously has become the standard

>>23449762
carranger was a parody?

I suppose that explains the second bad guy "ranger team" and their sportsball attack

>>23449732
Yeah, I'm genuinely liking all the characters so far.

>>23449762
Slapstick and whimsical stuff has always been in Sentai, all the way back to Gorenger. Carranger was both a parody and a course correction. Carranger wasn't just saying hey lets goof around and be silly, Carranger said fuck it, let's get drunk and drive off a cliff. Sentai had gotten stale and ratings were down, Carranger was so on the nose self referential and unserious, that it was basically the Sentai equivalent of what Police Squad and the Naked Gun movies were to police procedural shows.

>>23449847
- I only drink water, milk and coffee.

>>23448858
Sentai is significantly more episodic than most shonen. Even Kamen Rider is.

>>23449809
>Frank Drebin as Red Racer

ah yes, ToQ 5.5gou

>>23449939
trains are lame

>>23449906
I'd say that's the case because all shonen is adapted from serial manga stories. Hero toku is pretty much its own thing.

>>23450047
I can see why, he is very cool.

>>23450086
Honestly that stream is so much better when that guy's away for the week.

My favorite thing about the Gozyuger opening is those cuts with the cardboard cutouts

>>23450099
It's got good hype energy. Gets me excited every week. Makes a good insert song in fight scenes too.

Time to show the kiddies how much fun working at Toei is

>This hand of mine
Nice reference

We seriously need a full episode/mini documentary of a complete day of filming a sentai episode

What a weird meta episode lol (that's also a semi-clip show?)

I do like it when they get creative with the framing for the clipshow episode

>>23450123
I always like seeing BTS stuff focusing around Toei's toku production. Just shows how much god damn effort goes into these shows.

When was the last time a recap episode wasn't done by the producer using the Saburo Yasude pseudonym?

I miss Fire Candle.

>Grand Sponsor is Kumade
Okay, that's good.

>preview made it look like he'd be some executive or otherwise a big shot of some kind
>he's the stage hand

>>23450147
He's literally in this episode, what do you mean?

GyudeBurn has barely been given a chance to speak since his introduction, he really reminds me of Murasame

>>23450123
>>23450129
One of my favorite toku production fun facts is explosions are made by a doodad called the "Shamisen" (even though it looks more like a tashigoto) which is basically just a car battery wired to a bunch of squibs in a plastic casing and by applying grounding rods to different parts of it you light up different squibs letting you have different orders and patterns of explosions. There's a really good video showing off how it's done with an English dub (I think it's an NHK documentary) but I haven't been able to find it in years.

KA KA KA
The best villain has arrived

>>23450162
He is!

Fire Candle and Bouquet are nice enough to get interviewed.

>>23450153
Well, he is kinda forced to film for his senpai on the team (for a given term of senpai, since all of them were in the Ring Battle a bit longer than Hoeru). Also, moment of truth, not!Domon Kasshu is Universe Akarenger, but chooses to forfeit? That ring is important for the movie's events to play out.

This Bridan insert song is new right? I don't remember it

>>23450167

>>23450167
What a fun bit of trivia

I LOVE TOEI-samaaa!!!

I wish that wasn't wasted on a gag episode

The Goranger ring is a secret lifehack to get an all-ring config for the orca gun by himself?
Then he gets fired because he's a "hero", heroes still need money :(

Umm, Rikuobros??

That's Kiramei Blue right?

Next episode is focused on Battle Fever J? Also that fat No One reminds me of Dente's suit a bit, wonder if it was kitbashed

>>23450215

Is he using Staceasar parts? It doesn't seem like they've been repainted so I guess they can still go back to using the suit

Wow, a real Oil Baron themed monster...

Genuinely surprised Toei did not push for the clip show episode to be during Zeztz Debut or Gavv's finale. Plot relevance starts again in September with summer over. Lots of loose ends and Bridan will probably be shoved over for the true villains return.

>>23450269
Need to hear it properly but I liked the bit I heard in the episode.

Is Hoeru elligible for welfare

>>23450282
No one seriously likes clip shows as a way to "catch up". It makes more sense to have a standalone episode or start of a new arc alongside the Rider show debut.

>>23450294
No, he's a loser

>>23450282
Matsuura explained it here >>23450299

Let’s say Momorenger dated each of her teammates, who would she be most compatible with?

I'll reiterate, why are they bothering to get all these past Sentai actors and not having them at least transform or play their old characters?

Gokaiger really poisoned my mind.
It feels weird that Sentai Rings are being treated as random objects instead of having a dedicated episode to all of them
Some are obtained offscreen, some have the UW get one shotted while very few get dedicated episodes.

>>23450314
watch the show. their old characters are dead in this universe.

>>23450317
I don't get how Bandai doesn't understand that the toys aren't selling cause the shows never put any focus on the toys. The rings should've been front and center on almost every plot line. Getting them off screen isn't gonna move toys.

>>23450320
we don't know that and they're not gonna elaborate on it

>>23450321
I agree, besides getting my favorite teams' rings I don't really care about them.

>>23450335
anon. it was stated in episode 0.
watch the actual show. the rings are made by the surviving mecha as a last resort before they also died.

>>23450320
>>23450341
Why write yourself away from cameos and returning characters? Again, if they're not gonna be the old characters, don't bother getting returning actors. As was mentioned in the old thread, Toei got Joe Odagiri back but not for Kuuga. The movie he was in was hated.

>>23450343
>Why write yourself away from cameos and returning characters?
Because Shirakura says it's better for new viewers and allows them to avoid presenting past heroes as "old", which makes them less likeable to new audiences.

>>23450345
>avoid presenting past heroes as "old", which makes them less likeable to new audiences

>>23450345
Why is Shirakura making decisions if he's not the producer? Why did he get them for Zi-O and not get new actors to play past Riders? These explanations don't explain anything at all and just show he needs to be removed from most if not all influence he has.

>>23450218
I'm looking forward to seeing Not-Hakaizer.

>>23450343
Because Gokaiger already did it so why do it again? Especially because this time they won't be able to get as many returning actors because the main reason Gokaiger got to do that was because the 2011 earthquake cleared everybody's schedules, so if they did try to pull a Gokaiger again, it would be closer to a Zi-O situation where they have to write the scripts purposely vague to adapt to whichever actor they're able to get which would be a bad thing.
At that point it's better to do something original while throwing some sprinkles of returning toku actors for fan service, specially because every season since Kiramager sans Donbrothers already brought past actors to reprise their roles, and in Donbrothers' case the actor they brought back despite playing a different character he still transforms into a variation of the same hero he was in his season.

>>23450350
>Why did he get them for Zi-O and not get new actors to play past Riders?
Takebe pushed for the past Riders in Zi-O arguing that it'd help the tv ratings, but in the end Zi-O didn't have a noticeable ratings boost.

And Gozyuger is Daigo Matsuura's first series as the main producer, which is probably why he consulted with Shirakura so much during pre-production. Same thing happened with Yousuke Minato in Gotchard.

>>23450348
Kega-chan~

>>23450358
>Because Gokaiger already did it so why do it again?
"Why would they do thing that was very popular the first time again?" Indeed, how silly.

>>23450371
Yeah cause that's going great for Marvel and DC. Learn from others' failures

>>23450370
Atomu-kun doushite?? Why do you work at an AI company now???

>>23450350
Shirakura didn't make the decision to bring back past actors in Zi-O, Toei's head executives and his assistant producer Takebe did. He really didn't want to bring past actors back which is why all the protagonist ridewatches released in Q1 so that he wouldn't have to shill them past that, but the popularity of Zi-O resulted in a bunch of past actors requesting to come back so he had to walk back his plan.
With Gozyuger's case, the show is being made by Shirakura's apprentice Matsuura. The interview states that Shirakura suggested him to approach the anniversary this way but didn't enforce him to do so. Chief producers often have meetings with Tsukada and Shirakura during the pre-production and also sometimes ask them for help. Also they need to stay because those two are best producers out of the ones that have been promoted, I guess Hikasa is still around but he's much less prominent ever since he stepped down as president of the Tokusatsu division back in 2024, but he did do the Blade anniversary stage show so I guess he can help and give suggestions like those two of requested.

>>23450030
Does this mean Hasbro finally let go of the IP?

>>23450359
>>23450374
I love how there are two diametrically opposed explanations when it comes to Zi-O. One is that they brought back actors to boost popularity but that failed. The other is that they brought back more actors cause it was so popular. Lmao.

>>23450371
Did you actually bother reading the rest of my post? They've already been bringing actors back yearly since Kiramager, arguably since Ninninger excluding LuPat and if one counts Strongest Battle to be part of Ryusoulger. Not only that but Sentai and Rider are known for being fairly experimental and most producers don't like doing something that has already been done, and the time they did try to do something that's a complete rehash like Ryusoulger it flopped miserably.

>>23450384
Because it indeed did not give a rating boost, but ratings hardly matter at all these days due to streaming, I assume the anon brought the point up because that was straight yo the reasoning given as to why they decided to bring actors back but it isn't that relevant of a point. Also the actors themselves requested to come due to its popularity not the other way around, Shirakura's plan was for the show to be closer to early Q2 with the Mirai riders and Another Zi-O, honestly I don't know how that would've worked because then what would have been the remaining motw?

>>23450384
>>23450393
I bring up the ratings issue because it explains why Shirakura didn't bother afterwards. They haven't outright talked about it directly, but the reasoning used to convince him to go for the past Riders in Zi-O was explicitly tv ratings.

There's even a quote on the Japanese wiki from an early series interview where he goes on about Build's sales and box office being good, but its tv ratings were weak, so they pushed the past Riders in Zi-O hoping it'd help the tv ratings. So, the lack of tv ratings boost explains why he didn't bother afterwards.

>>23450341
>it was stated in episode 0.
it wasn't. What was said in Episode 0 was "the titans gave the last of their power".
People would be pissed if their favorite sentai died and then be used as jobber fodder.

>>23450343
>if they're not gonna be the old characters, don't bother getting returning actors.
Oh my God, why did they cast Kohei Murakami as Sonoya? If he's not going to reprise his role as Zyuoh Bird, why bother?

Oh my God, why did they cast Mao Ichimichi as Raptor? If she's not going to reprise her role as Gokai Yellow, why bother?

Oh my God, why did they cast Hiroya Matsumoto as Beet Buster? If he's not going to reprise his role as Magi Yellow, why bother?

Oh my God, why did they cast Nao Nagasawa as a random person in Ryusol? If she's not going to reprise her role as Hurricaneblue, why bother?

>>23450405
>They haven't outright talked about it directly
By this I meant how Shirakura hasn't outright said that Zi-O's lack of tv ratings boost being why he didn't bother with past hero characters in his future shows. He always mentions other explanations.

But, still, he didn't want to do past heroes in Zi-O already, was convinced to do it with tv ratings as the main argument, then a tv ratings boost didn't come, and his future shows with past hero trinkets then didn't feature past hero characters anymore.

>>23450378
Not necessarily, jews are really spiteful and there were rumors that the reason Matsuura/Shirakura wanted to use experimental naming comventions for Gozyuger was to circunvent their shitty contracts in order to export Sentai more easily.

>>23450405
>>23450414
Thanks for the explanation, that makes more sense

>>23450341
Also this is made by shirakura's apprentice.
There's a lot of implications that come from his ideas if you think too much about it but it's only there to look cool.
for example, is the Rider War in Decade the original Heisei Riders or the AU ones?

Gozyuger MiniPla 03 Black DaiZyuzin and WolfDecalibur 50 Review.

>>23450434
"As previously mentioned, Black DaiZyujin uses the base body of ByunByum Mach Robot.
This body may or may not be used at some point in a sub-line tentatively named 'MiniPla ROBO UNIVERSE.'"

>>23450372
>cause that's going great for Marvel and DC.
Movies or the comics?

>>23450411
which is essentially what has been happening to all those Universe Warriors that got offscreeened and Garyudo's sentai summonings. .
the "old characters" aren't going to appear. the closest thing to that are the mecha and they're all amassed in some kind of sentai mecha graveyard around Bridan's base.

>>23450345
Shirakura should throw himself off a bridge.

>>23450439
nta but both, specially the comics, they're extremely creatively bankrupt

>>23450345
>allows them to avoid presenting past heroes as "old", which makes them less likeable to new audiences.
Matsuura was the one who said that, not Shirakura. Shirakura just seems to really dislike the concept of having a shared continuity between toku.

>>23450444
Why?

>>23450438
Looks like RG tier.

>>23450438
I guess Engine-Oh, Shinken-Oh, Gao King and ToQ-Oh will be future released under that sub-line.

>>23450438
I built it the other day, I don’t know if they built the frame first but the gauntlets and shoulder pads do not come off once put on. They do not slide on like the DX

Jesus christ Jetman doesn't fuck around, this is a terrible fate.

>>23450494
Tranza's fate is honestly one of the worst a villain in Sentai has gotten. Just being totally braindead for the rest of his life.

Just finished Shinkenger. I didn't want to watch it due to personal reasons, 2009 was a very shitty year for me, but I'm glad I finally did it. Takeru is incredible cool and I'll love to have another Red like him, no wonder he's a hold house name now. In rankings this may surpass Gokaiger, it's pretty good.

>>23450177
>That ring is important for the movie's events to play out.
So is this episode actually set before the movie?

>>23450501
Shinkenger's a true classic. Rare to find someone that actually didn't like it.

>>23450230
The Bridans are going to fucking die.

>>23450506
Pls no

>>23450501
Shinkenger is just really fucking good and stylish, the antagonists are good and their theme is nice as well.
I wish Shinkenger got a 10 years after.

>>23450506
If Firecandle dies this series can fuck itself

>>23450512
I really hope Firecandle becomes the final boss.

>>23450444

>>23450506
If that happens so help me God I will stick a Fire Candle up his ass. Both Hasegawa and Shira.

>>23450518
He's so good at hiding the pain... sasuga...

>>23450230
As long as it's just guests, I don't mind. If this is to be interpreted as him taking over the rest of the show, Gozyuger is going to go to shit and I'll be so depressed. Hasegawa is the fucking worst and he's going to shit all over every character and derail everything.

Why? Hasegawa isn't the main writer and Akiko's main focus seems to be comedy
I'm fully expecting everyone from the Gozyugers to Bridan to die but then TegaSword revives everyone into a new world where they don't have to fight anymore, I really don't think this show will go the Go-Onger route of killing one of the villain members which proceeds to cause the remaining ones to get clinical depression

>>23450524
I can smell the SEAmonkey stench emanating from this post.

>>23450524
>Hasegawa is the fucking worst and he's going to shit all over every character and derail everything
Why? He isn't a main writer and he's generally considered to be a good writer. Besides, when has he ever taken over a show before to proceed to kill its characters, what are you on about?

>>23450512
>>23450514
Doubt he'd be the final boss, but I wish to expect him and maybe Bouquet to get involved in the final battle as an important ally for the Gozyugers against the Calamity.

On a side note, how connected is the GWX era Gundams with the toku shows of the mid-90's timeslot-wise? I remember Megaranger got moved to the Sunday 7:30 timeslot midway into the show, and Gundam X got cancelled.

>>23450531
I've never been more insulted by a false accusation. I'd rather be black than a SEAmonkey.
>>23450532
>kill
I didn't say kill, that was the other anon. I'm referring to how he consistently has his characters shit themselves to derail the plot on his shows. I have to assume the same would happen if the rest of Gozyuger was to be co-written by him, even though he has never taken over a show before as far as I'm aware, only shared writing on Ultra and Rider.
>generally considered to be a good writer
Maybe over there at Ultra. And even then I disagree, his Ultraman shows were either bland or offensively bad, with inconsistent characters and zero care for the rules he himself established.

>>23450547
>I'm referring to how he consistently has his characters shit themselves to derail the plot on his shows.
???

>>23450536
Gundam X had finished airing by the time Megarranger even started.

That said, Gundam X's timeslot (1st half) got replaced by a variety show, which then was replaced by a news show in 97 during Megarranger. This news show was also what took over Megarranger's timeslot.

>>23450547
>I'm referring to how he consistently has his characters shit themselves to derail the plot on his shows
Legitimately asking, what shows are you talking about and what do you mean by "shit themselves"?

>>23450547
>fucking worst and he's going to shit all over every character and derail everything.
Why do you hate him so much? His writing would better than what we're getting from akiko

>>23450563
nta but Akiko is a good writer, that said Hasegawa's episodes will probably be better, he's usually a really good episode writer like how he was in Fourze and Drive

Im super curious on next years mecha design, obviously it will be a Trybrid Changer/weapon/robo again but I wonder if it’ll be a next gen update in engineering with it being the 51st and really escaping the sentai trappings. I wonder if it’ll continue the cool factor like with tegasword or go a completely different route.

>>23450563
He's a schizo from /krg/, he probably doesn't actually watch toku like most shitposters from that general

What's his end goal?

>>23450563
>Why do you hate him so much?
Anon likely only think of Saber and Gotchard about Hasegawa writing, not knowing that he wrote W and other Rider shows too.

>>23450560
Ultraman Tiga has cardboard characters and Tiga has no presence and changes personality to whatever the episode is. I'm aware I'm in the minority for this and everyone loves it, but I don't care. The only consistent characters were the rest of GUTS.
Ultraman Dyna had the producer force him to address the antagonist in Q3 because he didn't want to write them anymore. Same character issues but on the rest of the cast. The opposite problem of Tiga.
His side of Kamen Rider Ghost had similar issues, but I cut him some slack because of producer interference and other production shit.
Ultraman Ginga is a disgrace. Same character issues, but worse. Like he didn't even want to write it.
GRIDMAN is loved, but I hate it for the same character issues. The last act is bad.
Kamen Rider Saber is a complete mess. Even after it sorts out Q1 issues, it throws so much shit into the mix that half of the cast has to change drastically to keep up with the constantly-changing plot and motivations.
Kamen Rider Gotchard had the same issues as Saber but with better written antagonists. The last arc of the show is barely coherent and the production notes say he's not going to address part of the plot because he didn't want to do it anymore, like Houtaro's dad. Akiko's episodes there were bad too, but that's my opinion.
>>23450563
>better than what we're getting from akiko
If it's just guest episodes, yeah. I'm not a fan of Akiko either. I just have a problem when he is given more power as a main or co-writer.

>>23450571
To be noticed, like you're noticing him. Good job.

Jetman is filled with cool rivalries and parallelisms, Grey and Gai is my favorite given how similar they're to each other.

>>23450568
I'm really curious too, I also wonder who will we even get as a producer for the next season? Like will Matsuura do 2 seasons back to back due to it being a double anniversary situation, will we get a promoted producer like we did for Ryusoulger~Donbrothers, will they get producers from another divisions like Takaaki Utsunomiya, Hiroki Koide or Kodaka Shiori like they did with Zeztz, will they give it to a new producer like Takijima just like they did with Gozyuger or will they simply go for the boring choice of just having Kuji again?

>>23450575
grey is my favorite villain in sentai so far. Dr man is a close second

>>23450572
I clearly said "taking over the rest of the show" in my original post, not guest episodes. I would never assume co-writing the second half of a show is the same as dropping by for a quick one-off.
Takegami Junki did episodes for Gingaman and Boukenger but I'm not thinking about those if he's the topic, I'd be thinking of the shows he was main writer on.

>>23450573
He wasn't the head writer of Tiga and Ghost, dumbass.

>>23450575
Grey just wants to have a smoke and a drink like any gentleman

>>23450573
He isn't the main writer of Ghost and Saber. He's also just a co-writer for both Tiga and Gotchard, like the dad thing being dropped was Uchida's idea not his and he wasn't involved with the creation of anyone of Tiga's cast.

>>23450583
Then why are you throwing a massive hissy fit as if he's going to take over the show, when he's just going to be an episode writer for Gozyuger. You're either a shitposter falseflagging or someone extremely mentally ill that lets people live rent free in your head. Either way seek mental health.

>>23450580
>>23450592
Grey was fucking cool man, this whole episode was pure kino.

>>23450575
Same, everything about Grey just hits really hard for me, especially his final fight.
Although in general most of Jetman lives rent free in my head.

>>23450598
episode 42 stands out as one of the best in the franchise imo.

>>23450586
I know. I included Tiga as a point of reference because he joined in the back half due to being appointed to write Dyna, which exacerbated all the issues his episodes had.
I included Ghost for the same reason. Co-writer, then all of the issues carry over to Saber in an even worse manner.
You can't realistically talk about someone's writing credits without mentioning where they started and who they started with. Especially when the issues are present throughout almost everything he's worked on regardless of who he's working with/for.
>>23450594
I'm just saying if he co-writes the rest for whatever reason after this episode, it's going to suck.
>lets people live rent free
But I don't? I replied to a post about him. I have zero reason to bring him up here or in any other general unless it is the topic of a post.

>>23450604
They were great generals all around.

>>23450605
Ah yes, the yellow robot episode, it was heart breaking in so many ways.

>>23450573
>The last arc of the show is barely coherent and the production notes say he's not going to address part of the plot because he didn't want to do it anymore, like Houtaro's dad
This is how I know you're a dumbass who probably hangs around SEA Facebook groups too much. Hasegawa never talked about Houtaro's dad, it was Minato who said he ultimately chose not to have him appear in the show after pondering over what he could do with him.

>>23450609
>You can't realistically talk about someone's writing credits without mentioning where they started and who they started with.
Hasegawa started writing for Rider before Ghost, dumbass. He wrote nearly the same amount of episodes of Drive as he did Ghost, and he wrote more episodes of W than he did either.

So was Producer Seki the Universe Akaranger?

>>23450609
>But I don't?
You immediately assumed he was going to cowrite the show despite nothing indicating it and act like most creative decisions of shows he's involved in, even when he isn't a main writer, were his even though we know they aren't.

>>23450618
Seems so, it's so bizarre that the show implies that he seemingly chose to never transform

>>23450609
>Especially when the issues are present throughout almost everything he's worked on regardless of who he's working with/for
You sound like a tard who barely knows what he's talking about looking for a convenient scapegoat, honestly.

All it takes is just one post saying the Bridans will die, which not even proven true, to make this thread so active.

>>23450626
He already has a perfect life.

>>23450611
Minato is a bad producer and I misremembered who said that so I appreciate the correction.
>>23450616
Unless I am also misremembering this part, both his W and Drive episodes were written closely with Riku outside of the motw-ish ones, due to the nature of how those shows were produced. He had more carry in Ghost, and those episodes had the same issues his Ultraman episodes had, which Saber and Gotchard also had. Even if we discard Gotchard due to Minato vetoing most ideas, the only explanation is he's gone senile.

>>23450626
I'm surprised they really not want to have an actual Universe Akaranger that active, like I expected him to be saved for later as an important Universe Warrior.

Sumino will die.

Anon will die.

Misremembering? You just keep pulling shit straight out of your ass. You know nothing about these shows' productions.

>>23450642
Everything about Jetman was made to get magazines talking it felt like

>>23450642
It really is incredible how knowing it doesn't lessen the impact at all.

>>23450647
Oh yeah, it was very popular with adult women after all.

>>23450649
Yeah, nta but I got spoiled due to the Zenkaiger episode but even then this finale just hit me like a truck

>>23450654
How?
I don't think there's any way to assimilate what happened in Zenkaiger with how it happened in Jetman without having some prior knowledge.
You only know it's a spoiler if someone tells you it's a spoiler.

>>23450662
>How?
Because I watched Zenkaiger as it was airing so I got spoiled because I checked this general right after the episode aired

>>23450670
Understandable.

>>23450643
Have they actually made one? I kinda want one

>>23450643
Wake me up when they make a TegaJune onahole

Since we got a crossdressing femboy as a recurring character in Rider, I want the pink of a season of Sentai to be a trap as well. I want him to be chosen to be the team pink because they assume he's a girl and don't realize he's a crossdressing guy until after the first battle, then just decide to keep him as their team pink because he's cute.

>>23450720
>just project my fetish onto the show!
no

>>23450720
>crossdressing femboy as a recurring character in Rider
He's a villain, and characters in both Sentai and Rider crossdress fairly often.
Also they can't do trap/reverse traps characters where viewers are supposed to not be sure about the characters' genders, because we'll always know their real gender due to the actor/actress. The only way such a character would be allowed is if the character is a comic relief like the donut guy from Wizard.

/ssg/ will tell you that zenkaiger is hated but actually going out of this place will show otherwise
I think the only other place I saw hating zenkaiger was that youtuber "retro tokusatsu" something-or-other and said zenkaiger is too chaotic for his tastes

>>23450890
Oh wow you saw someone say they didn't like Zenkaiger then decide that all of /ssg/ doesn't like it either. Good job.

>>23450890
I don't know if you're lying or confused but I'm the only person who hates Zenkaiger and haven't seen anyone else share that sentiment. Everybody here and outside of here enjoyed it.

>>23450895
didn't say all of /ssg/, I said the people in general not liking zenkaiger
>>23450898
people will bring up charts and all

>>23450903
>people will bring up charts and all
Remember that LuPat has horrible toy sales yet is consistently one of the more popular ranger teams (well at least the Lupinranger side, I wish the Patrangers got more their share especially Keiichiro)

>>23450903
Oh no not the spooky toy sale chart that doesn't actually mean anything when it comes to a show's popularity.

>>23450903
You should remember in the future that charts don't mean anything other than how many kids bought the toys and is not indicative of the quality of a show.

Also Sakito being popular despite being a vacuum of a character after his debut is one of the world's mysteries
>>23450933
unless it's about shitposting, of course

>>23450937
I like Sakito because he's cool and handsome and I wish the show didn't forget he existed because he had potential and the actor is cool. He doesn't even do much in his own special. That sucks.

>>23450903
>>23450890
Legitimately what are you talking about? Most people here like Zenkaiger, it's just that the show isn't as beloved as other seasons because the poor character balance

>>23450890
Zenkaiger isn't hated at all, people just don't want Komura to come back because she's bad at handling teams, thus being better at doing Kamen Rider. If anything Zyuohger is overhated, it's usually lumped with the the rest of the Ninninger to Ryusoulger period that's considered a dark time for Sentai, but in spite of that Zyuohger is quite good, it's just really not the kind of show the franchise needed at the time.

>>23450948
this feels like a backhanded compliment
>>23450952
Strongest Battle exists at least, and the Gokaiger crossover is still one of the better crossover ones

>>23450952
also as much of a given Ginis is (even if I like this idea of him being really an amalgamation of the mooks), Quval and Bungray were really great villains and Azald was way more imposing

>>23450720
Momo Hero in The High School Heroes.

>>23450741
and she was leaning toward the boyish/male look, reverse the gender and it will be considered as comedy

>>23450890
JAKQ is the only truly hated season. Turboranger, Fiveman, Ninninger, LupinVsPat and Ryusoulger are considered mediocre. Goggle-V, Flashman and Boonboomger are considered average. Maskman, Zyuranger, Dairanger, Ohranger, Goseiger and Kyuranger are pasable but extremely flawed, specially Maskman.
Everything else is liked by the average person.

>>23450963
The fuck is this shit, a toku series written by tumblr?

>>23450967
They didn't go comedic with Jeebh in Kamen Rider Gavv, unless you consider it comedic how bad he is at being a threatening villain.

>>23451036
No joke, the writer is Yuya Takahashi

>>23451038
just as other anon mentioned, Jeebh is a villain so they can get away with it, while Momo Hero is from a show aimed at adult audience

>>23451036
it's kinda sad that I wish /ssg/ talked more about this show and getting proper subs because it was the closest thing to a new high school Sentai, but this character pretty much filtered the discussion for both /ssg/ and SEA toku community

>>23451049
She works best a poptepic

>>23451044
>but this character pretty much filtered the discussion
Hmm, can't imagine why

>>23451061
Wow who would've thought all the /v/ refugees hated the trans character.

>>23451061
Then why King-Ohger is okay here knowing there's an NB character?

>>23450413
Because those weren't seasons with gimmicks that brought back the old suits and powers. How daft are you?

>>23451176
bringing back old suits and powers don't always mean bringing back past characters

>>23450345
>>23450405

And that's why they bemoan Toei's heroes aren't as popular as western ones. One year disposable heroes might work for the Japanese audience and toy sales but they can't have it both ways.

Decade cosplaying his knock-off.

>>23451036
It was a surprisingly well done series, get over it, boomer.

>>23451795
It's meta fanservice you dumb fuck. It's so Sentai obsessed nerd can point at the screen and go I KNOW WHO THAT IS. It's the same as having past Sentai actors come back to play villains or background characters or do voices, so that when Kyoryu Blue's sister randomly says "emergency" everyone can cum in their pants and say OMG DEKA YELLOW SAID THE THING.

And it clearly worked on you, because you're hear sperging out for days at a time complaining WHY ISN'T THAT ACTOR PLAYING THEIR OLD CHARACTER, I KNOW WHO THAT IS.

I hate that Timeranger got cucked out of it's anniversary all because Bandai hates it.

>>23451907
>cucked out of it's anniversary
Gaoranger is the true anniversary season, the reason it didn't get a summer movie is because Kuuga didn't get a summer due Arakawa's art block since their summer movies are always paired together, so since Kuuga's movie didn't enter proper production neither did Timeranger's.

>>23451907
Maybe they'll get around to doing an anniversary special in the year 3000.

>>23451925
What are you on about?

>>23451795
>It really should though
No it shouldn't
>If you're not going all in you're just trying to nostalgia bait on the cheap which is scummy behavior
How is trying something different "cheap"? I only see opinions like these on the west, most people in Japan like this direction for Gozyuger. The reason people had issue with Decade in Japan was due to shoddy treatment Kuuga got there, an even then it did well both in ratings and sales.

>>23451934
Sorry for my poor reading comprehension, I thought that by anniversary you meant the show itself and its summer movie, not an anniversary project. The reason Timeranger didn't get an anniversary project is because they seemingly can't get all the actors back, although it's weird that the only anniversary products we got are miniplas. Either way I don't think Bandai hates Timeranger, they only hate Go-Busters and Ninninger due to their poor relationship with Takebe at the time.

Did everyone get unbanned simultaneously? I noticed that /krg/ has been more a of a cesspool than usual and that even /ssg/ has more shitposters than normal.
I wish jannies would actually do their job, or that these people would kill themselves.

>>23451900
>It's so normies can point at the screen and go I KNOW WHO THAT IS
Ftfy, Sentai Otaku care about more than just the suits, they care about the characters who wore them and the actors who played them, presenting them with empty suits over and over again isn't going to entice them. There's a reason why Gokaiger is one of the most successful seasons in the franchise.
>And it clearly worked on you
Clearly not, since 1. he pirates the show, so he isn't even contributing to its ratings nor its DVD sales and 2. Gozyuger's toy sales are terrible. This is supposed to be a strategy to increase the show's success, but it hasn't been working at all.

>>23451957
>What is reading comprehension
They weren't talking about empty suits they were talking about returning actors. Bro was complaining that returning actors weren't playing their old characters and second bro was arguing this is nothing new. Sounds like it got you too homie, you were quick to jump in and defend it

>>23451975
I always like seeing when they do things like this

>>23451946
>these people would kill themselves
You first.

Out of curiosity, how is Gao generally regarded? I'm about to finish it and for me I found it kind of mediocre.
-half the cast was fairly bland, yellow, white, and silver being the stand outs
-org attacks usually boiled down to an awkward spinning attack or just throwing an object and it exploding
-orgs powers didnt really evolve when they'd become a giant and you'd watch the gao members fall for the exact same attacks but in mecha form
-main team felt particularly weak, almost all the battles after the first half felt like they barely won or really shouldn't have

Getting all that negativity out of the way though.

+god tier ost, really every track felt perfect
+even though the character driven story took a back seat the scenarios each episode set up were consistently interesting
+genuinely good humor
+genuinely good mech designs
+Tsue Tsue and Yabaiba's arcs as the series went
+also this perfect creature

>>23452031
Oh, also, it felt like this series used more stockfootage than some of the previous series and the ones to come after leading to some awkward fight choreography, especially in the mechs.

>>23452031
Gao was at the time one of the hottest Sentai ever thanks to the mix and match nature of the power animals which at the time was the first time Sentai ever did something like that so it was novel.

>>23452031
Personally I quite like the cast and villains and while I don't consider the show be Top-Tier or anything because the plot feels very safe I thought it was a pretty neat season overall. I don't remember disliking the Mecha fights aside from whenever it used CGI, I remember liking the choreography overall although I remember that for some reason the show would very awkwardly cut the black ranger from fights whenever it wasn't his focus episode.
All that said, when I asked about what people thought about the show back when I finished the season, I remember most people here having similar opinions to you, overall considering the show to be pretty avarage, so you're far from the only one.

>>23452075
Ah, that would explain why they were so likely to be beat in their mecha forms. It was an excuse to swap out parts.
>>23452082
Actually, the mecha fights were decent outside of how often they'd get beat and the reused monster gimmicks. They were more entertaining then, say, Shinkenger's (which isn't to say shinkenger was bad).

And yeah, its definitely not a bad one, just sort of middle of the road. I didn't hate my time watching it, but I'm definitely ready for it to be over (3 eps to go). Hurricaneger is next.

>>23452082
Also, the villains were easily the best part of this series. I was more invested with Tsue Tsue and Yabaiba than a majority of the main cast.

>>23452031
I also thought it was mid, but the designs were cool. I generally thought the orgs looked good.

>>23452218
>I generally thought the orgs looked good.

They definitely did, which made their attacks so disappointing. It wasn't until around the last 10 episodes where they finally started giving the orgs some gimmicks to their attacks and varying them up beyond what had become the standard up to that point. This also kinda played into the frustration of seeing the main cast getting beat up to the same gimmicks over and over again as it went.

of course, it always feels a bit silly noticing some of this stuff in a show for children, but when the sentai before it didn't have these problems its just odd to see it take a step back. Beyond that my friend who recommended it swore up and down on it and I tend to be kind of critical so I wanted to make sure I wasn't being overly critical.

Final two universe figures, Ryu-Ranger is actually important for october.

>>23452255
Woops

>>23452260
Why does Ryu ranger's figure look so cheap, I assume it will be like the other anon said and he'll be related to the new Dragon upgrade.
Also I assume that Bouquet will be the Universe DekaRed.

>>23452276
Because they all share a budget and most of it went to magi red because the anniversary will be announced in September

>>23452276
>Why does Ryu ranger's figure look so cheap
The Action Heroes aren't fully painted because they're basically budget figures compared to Figuarts.
I have the Gao Red one, they didn't bother to paint the back side of the white neck, same with Magi Red in that picture.

>>23452337
The main gozyuger’s are pretty damn good though, I think the worst universe is momotaro. The details are super off.

>>23452276
>Also I assume that Bouquet will be the Universe DekaRed.
Or Ninja Red because Kakuranger villains are Flower Ninja which fitting for Bouquet.
I remember the interview with Matsuura-P or Bandai employee (forgot which one) some threads ago talking about they only do female Universe Warrior if it's the one not getting Action Hero figure, with the exception of Shinken Red because a female version existed in the original show.

>I think the worst universe is momotaro.
I don't get why he got one beside for being from the newer season.
The Figuarts already exist anyway.

>>23452352
I assumed DekaRed due him dualwielding guns like Bouquet, but I guess Shinkenred uses different weapons as FireCandle

>>23451996
Is it G Gundam tribute week

>>23452367
At some point I thought of him getting Ninja Red since Ginga Red already a no.
Firecandle kinda based of Sun Wukong with the fire theme and stick weapon, and Ninja Red also based of Wukong.

>>23452031
Honestly I love the robots, OST and story in general but a few of the rangers were pretty flat, Gao Yellow is easily my favorite.

>>23452374
G-Gundam is also celebrating an anniversary, so it wouldn't surprise me.

In fact, I'm positive. These guys have acquired anniversary elements of G-Gundam...

WITH THE HELP OF KYOJI!

>>23451975
Hahahhahaha btfo Kyoryu Red

>>23452473
Why do you let Kyoryuger live rent free in your head? It's a mostly inoffensive season

>>23452389
It kinda made me realize the importance of character driven stories. I think toku falls into two big categories, character driven and scenario driven. A good toku captures both of these, but its completely subjective which a person finds more important. For instance, I think the scenarios presented in Gao are more interesting then, again, Shinkenger, but the character explorations and stories are a lot weaker. Finding a good balance of the two is when you get something really special.

>>23452406
they're late a year, 2025 is Gundam Wing 30th anniversary

I guess they dropped the "I want to protect everything and help everyone" aspect from Sumino's debut episode
Hell... ep 5 made a point out of the fact that simply finding her sister and getting revenge from it wasn't her actual wish, but instead something much more selfless and bigger

>>23452495
It's mostly Daigo. I like the rest of the show but at the time Daigowanking is way too much but it had died down because there's worse Redwank after Kyoryuger. Plus Daigo is charismatic to the point when he cameoed in KR Taisen I liked it, though maybe that's the syndrome of "Hated character becomes likeable post series" thing that even happened with Akaninger.

>>23452567
One of the production blog mentioned all of them are basically tsundere for being heroic, which isn't even unique in Sentai these days because Gokaiger and King-Ohger already did it.

>>23451907
Which sucks because I love the Timerobo gimmick, and the Double Vector is a unique weapon.

I wish Toei Tokyo studio was real

>>23452578
>Daigowanking is way too much
I watched Kyoryuger very recently and frankly I didn't see much "wank" at all for the character outside of him getting in the way of Souji learning Torin's sword movie. The actual wank for him happened AFTER the show.

I've decided. Imma wank to Maya Imamori. She may be like 10 years younger but just this one time. Just this one time.

>>23452588
The wanking was there, but it got way too obvious when Yayoi and Plezuon debuts. It's just more blatant since Daigo just had the big focus with Bunpachy arc, so when he's the big focus again it becomes too apparent. And then the Carnival upgrade and the rest is history. Hell iirc in the body switch episode which was a Souji focused episode by the big moment was Souji delivering a speech while still in Daigo's body.

Time to fap to Sakurako Okubo who is the same age as me, YOOSHA LUCKY

>>23452598
>Carnival Upgrade
I will never forget how they made Daigo break his shirt and become the robot, back then I thought it was going to be a shared upgrade or something like that.

>>23452600
Treasure it anon. I miss the days when the heroines are older than me T_T

They're offscreening Zenkaizer, I guess.

>>23452591
>Just this one time
We know it will be more than once.
she's 15 years younger than me

>>23452605
I do like how Carnival is basically miniature Kyoryuzin though. And they even made separate gloves for the different modes. Nowadays with how tight the suit budgets they'd never be able to do that. Hell even King Kyoryu Red is just Carnival kitbash, thank god Carnival's design flows very well for King-Ohger.

>>23452612
It's just she looks mature in show but irl she acts her age.

>>23452615
somehow her disguise as high school student in the LuPat 2-parter didn't look like a 23 year old pretending to be in high school, she actually looks younger than Kinjiro

>>23452608
Anon im saying im 27 kyuranger was 2017

>>23452618
I mean she is 19 irl so it tracks. Which is funny because when Mao Ichimichi debuted she's also 19 but because she's older than me I see her as mature onee-san. If I'm a teen I'd probably drool over Imamori as oneesan.

>>23452629
I know, it was just a habit of mine, I always love Toku heroines because they're older than me but as years gone by and seeing them getting younger feels weird. Hell the last one that I'm obsessed over, my slut? She's half a year younger than me T_T And even then she's viewed as a 'hag' by Japanese media simply because she's over 25 at that time

>>23452635
>I mean she is 19 irl so it track
I read Gozyuger JP wiki and the Sumino section said she was originally planned as a high school student instead of Kinjiro, but I guess it would be too predictable having the only female member to be in high school.

>>23452635
Kiddo, try being nearly 40 and still watching tokustatsu, like me.

>>23452664
I mean there's plenty of tokuota in Japan that're around your age. It's how the collection economy keeps chugging smoothly.

>>23452664
I know a few guys your age in Japan, when I met one he shown me his robots and some other items, I really liked the plume of Abarekiller, really cool.

Didn't expect Goranger Ring not having any Universe Warriors actually upsets some people.

Just started Gekiranger, this chameleon girl is very hot.

>>23452691
Mele is an all-timer Sentai girl

>>23452691
Mele is my kung fu zombie waifu. She may be Rio's love warrior, but I am her love warrior.

>>23452663
I wonder if their roles are swapped, like Sumino is a high schooler and Kinjiro is a detective. Kinjiro being old man was like added afterwards.

>>23452682
I mean it's the first one. It's like Kuuga or Ichigo was glossed over. Even in Ultraman where Man is glossed over they still pay tribute to him.

>>23452682
I'm surprised it wasn't part of the movie.

>>23452720
It's implied that this recap was set exactly before the movie, but I can't confirm because I'm not in Japan.
The Goranger Ring in the movie could be this one or one of the copies just like the ones for every humanity like Junta Gosei Red etc

>>23452718
I just consider it they can't decide what kind of person a Universe Akaranger would be.
Would he be old or young? Using Seki again kinda predictable because he voiced Akaranger many times when Makoto Naoya isn't available.
So just leaving it as support item in the recap and Hoeru's Engage in the movie are enough for tribute.

>>23452611
Of course, Universe Juran's making his big debut soon.

>>23452740
*Universe Zenkai Red

>>23452611
Not really, he could just be a gobuster thing or have just one episode as opposed to magi reds multi parter
Dyna, Change and Mask on the other hand are getting off screened

>>23452777
I'm assuming because most of the ring sets always having one of them being important Universe Warrior while the other one is offscreened and only used as Gozyuger Engages or Garyudo summons.
The only exception was Sun Vulcan-Zyuohger set.

After finishing Gao, my levels of enjoyment have been:
>Timeranger
>Go-Busters
>Jetman
>Shinkenger
>Zyuohger
>Gaoranger
>King Ohger

That last ones gonna get people mad. I'd kill to have one that I enjoyed as much as Time. Feels like that one was just perfect and had everything I liked in it.

On a side note, Gao has been the team I'd want to defend the earth the least. Feels like the only reason they survived at all was pure writers luck.

>>23452790
Well you definitely seem to like the more dramatic seasons, which I like a lot as well.
You should watch Dekaranger next.

What kind of relationship do these two have?

>>23452790
They were the hottest shit in 2001 like the movie was fucking crazy, Toys R Us was packed to the brim with Gao.

Honestly my favorite part of Gaoranger are the robots, they were so fucking cool.

>>23452796
Gaoranger was all about the GaoAnimals, really. And we got such a small selection of the original amount during the show's run.

>>23452792
Yeah, starting to realize me and my friends differing taste when it comes to our tokus. He adored Gao which was a big reason he pushed me to watch it next, but for me it was just "okay". Still, if you perfer interesting scenarios as opposed to drama and character dynamics then its gonna scratch that itch. I feel bad though as that was one of his tops so I'll just have to dial back the critiscms.

I might do that. Hurricangers was also in the running for the next one I watched.
>>23452794
Oh I have no doubt. Kids aren't really gonna care about the "details". Plus, the suit/mech designs were top tier.
>>23452796
>>23452798
I thought it was funny at the end how they just threw in concept art for several of the ones that didn't make the cut. Still, all the designs for what were there were really great. I just wish that so many scenes with them didn't revolve around the same reused stock footage. Might happen a lot in sentai, but this was the first time it was super noticable. Dunno if I'm just getting used to the formula or if the use of stockfootage was extremely limited in this particular series.

>>23452793
OneeShota duhh

We need either a Hurricaneger color lineup again or an Aba lineup

>>23452790
Curious, what made you choose Time over Shinken? I'm having a hard time choosing which one is Kobayashi's masterpiece.

>>23452801
Yeah they didn't make that much stock footage for the animals emoting and such and it can look a bit silly.
Did you like Tsuetsue and Yabaiba? I liked how much like Jessie and James they were.

>>23452806
>Aba lineup
Would be nice if Aba lineup is female black and white male. Hell a non leader male white on the core team would be a first.

Magic and ninjas color wise is probably kingohger esque, maybe a dark purple for ninja side, mages definitely have red and yellow blue is a toss up, black would be ninja. No green, they hate having to do the dual screen setup for it

>>23452807
A big reason is simply the fact that in Shinken the mech's and their fights felt more like an afterthought or that they "had to be there". None of their fights were terribly memorable and the mecha design was also pretty bad (including a large area on the design just being a cloth shirt breaking the entire mecha illusion). Beyond that, the final version of their mech did my least favorite thing where they just keep stacking robots on robots until it looks like a big mess.

Beyond that, Takeru was a bit bland as a red but the ending made his distance and "blandness" make complete sense so its a bit like Blade in the fact that the final stretch really elevated the whole show.

Timeranger just felt like the full package all the way through though. All the characters were great, they maintained their individual growth, drama, and conflicts while presenting interesting scenarios each episode (a lot of them feeling like homages to various films and genres), the mechs had amazing designs, the choreography was great, ost was top tier, just everything felt incredible. One of the few series in general I have barely a critiscm for.

>>23452808
They were actually my favorite part of the show. They had the Jessie and James thing while also having more character growth than the entire main cast. It was interesting to see them rise to power, lose it, then rise again. About my only gripe was that I really wanted Yabaiba to get revenge for Tsue when Rasetsue used and killed her.

>>23452819
>None of their fights were terribly memorable

And by that I mean specifically in their mechs.

The best final robo type is one where theres a super combo and its riding a carrier mecha. Tenrai senpuujin is one of the best.

Leo looks so fucking cool.

>>23452695
>>23452702
She is really cute too.

>>23452825
I like that too, it just gets bad when the silhouette starts becoming a mess due to the haphazard stacking.

>>23452817
They still haven't used the most cursed color to ever exist. Champagne

>>23452843
RyusoulCreme?

>>23452827
Gekiranger is a great season, get ready for some memorable Sentai goodness.

I really wish Sentai villains got more merch overall. I know they do the villain weapons or changer and stuff in seasons that have them, but I want figures of some of the memorable villains too.

>>23452863
Bandai probably just think they won't be bought by enough people to make them en-masse.
Ultraman can get away with it for example because the monsters are basically the secondary main characters of the franchise that keep re-appearing.

>>23452872
>>23452872
>>23452872

>>23452864
Well they have those less expensive action figures now, I wish they'd at least try making a few in that line. You don't people would snap up a Fire Candle and Bouquet figure right now?

>>23452031
A decent share of Sentai fans dislike Takegami Sentai because the characters are bland apparently.
