How are you feeling about these info bits, /ssg/uys?
>>23600763The woman that killed Sentai.
>>23600768Don't understand what they'll do for the other half of the year if it's true. Do what Ultraman does?
>>23600763>>23600771What did she do again? I never pay attention to drama.
>>23600768>>23600660
>>23600774google it you fucking retard
>>23600768Magic as the theme for the first show is kinda weird ngl
>serialized>not a real team>sidelined robotThe new show is just King-Ohger.
>>23600781Good.
>>23600781Didn't Kingohger also technically have "two halves", maybe the execs saw that and thought "Maybe we could pull off a story in around half the episodes."
>Sentient robots in most of the last few series>Donbrothers, King Ohger, Gozyuger has teammates but heads more often than usual, even Boonboomger those Genba and Ishiro episodes >New series might be leaning into these tropes to set up a new formula, as if last few series where set up to ease into rebrandHmm, I'm nooticing!!!
>>23600768>change everything that made the identity of super sentai>i-it's just a rebrand lolCope however you like, but that's literally a new kind of show
>>23600798Found-Family Universe Warrior JamesGunners.
>>23600808Guardians of the Universe?
For the finale of Super Sentai they should go full Star Trek Enterprise: These Are The Voyages and have AkibaRed watching the final episode of Gozyuger ala Commander Riker. Also Sumino dies like Trip Tucker.
Crazy that Gozyuger doing a beach episode today just for showing Sumino and Bouquet in bikini but I allow it.
>yfw the replacement brand name is "Super Sentie"
>>23600842Superb Sentai
What did she see in him?
>>23600777She fucked a stunt man? That's it? How is that even a problem?
>>23600851His Orca Booster 5050
>>23600768none of this screams "international distribution"maybe they're doing a decade to line back up with rider
Kin-jii...
>>23600854Because he has a wife and she has a boyfriend.
>>23600862Ah. Still not enough to destroy a massive franchise. Sentai and Rider have had way worse moments than that.
>>23600867If they're really doing a rebranding, it must be planned since far before the Bunshun article, so blaming the drama doesn't make sense.
>>23600870Of course it was planned, ShiraP literally mentioned Gozyuger being the final Sentai before the show even came out. Though it does make me wonder how long this has been in the works, was THIS the culmination of his 5-year plan?
>>23600798Super Soldiers That Sometimes Form a Collective Combat Squad If The Need Arises
I don't know, it feels kinda weird to have the announcement just like that, with Toei not acknowledging something so important as fast as possible.Maybe they're just waiting to make a big announcement? No idea
>>23600878ffs please don't tell me we have Shirakura's ego to thank for I Can't Believe It's Not Super Sentai
>>23600189No.
>>23600892From what I understand, it was a leak by TV Asahi employees, not even an official announcement. It was revealed earlier than intended.
So... that huge ass exhibit they held wasn't just because it was an anniversary year.
>>23600892I don't think they will actually announce the "end" of Super Sentai.We'll just get the announcement of the next show after Gozyuger and it will be (called) something else, not Super Sentai. The focus will be on the new series, not that they're killing off Super Sentai (and they won't really be "killing it off", they probably still will do stuff like TTFC specials and merch even if there's no official Super Sentai tv show).
>>23600878>ShiraP literally mentioned Gozyuger being the final Sentai before the show even came outNo he didn't, otherwise everyone and their mamas wouldn't freaked out by this sudden end of sentai/rebranding news
I'd honestly be fine with this new IP for half the year and Sentai's greatest hits the other half. Better than than them continually trying to hit the highs that probably aren't coming back
>>23600924Yeah he sort of did, or rather it he gave vague statements that it was gonna be the end of the previous Super Sentais which everyone just wrote off as overdramatic, similar to how Gokaiger acted like the older teams would never get their powers back even though they did in the end.
>>23600780Kinda mahou shoujo-like when you think about it.
>>23600930>how Gokaiger acted like the older teams would never get their powers backthe show never did. The Gokaigers needed the keys for the greatest treasure and wouldn't give them back.2 teams asked for them back
why does every episode of timeranger make me cry like a bitch?
>>23600930>which everyone just wrote off as overdramaticAgain, if the current planning director/producer of the franchise mentioned anything of sort, it would be big news among the fanbase
>>23600895Shirakura's ego might be the only reason we can even keep an amalgam of Sentai, namely the robots.Shirakura is a robot otaku. He may not seem like it because he's an aggressive businessman who prefers to post about wine and cats, but he is, ultimately, a robot otaku. He's the guy who scouted out Tsuyoshi Nonaka. You think a man with vision like that isn't into robots? Plus he fell in love with Toei due to Space Sheriff Gavan and has referenced Dol on multiple occasions. The first Kamen Rider show he worked on was the first one to have very detailed power armor suits. He's always wanted a robot, machine-heavy tokusatsu production, far more than what Super Sentai was doing (In fact he thinks he was unable to do anything better than what he did with Dairanger (Source: Toei Hero MAX 29), which notably had very distinct robot action at the time). This is further paints a contrast between him and Takatera, a profound kaiju otaku.Netabare-san mentioned many years ago in the infamous >>17139801 post that likely got him fired due to being caught with the Mad Rogue fake-leak stated Shirakura had an interest in "armored heroes becoming giant robots." Based on the timeline of releases, this likely became Zenkaiger and the Robotaro forms in Donbrothers.The idea itself of robot companions has been a fascination of Shirakura's as far back as Changerion, with the Choko Kishi (And Changerion itself stemmed from Shiraukra wanting to make a new Kikaider show). While the MagiNingers may be bereft of humanoid robots, I don't expect it to be gone so long as Shirakura still runs the character division.Unrelated to robots, Shirakura was notably rather bitter-sounding in the "The Toys That Made Us" episode on Power Rangers when talking about Saban. Just something I happened to remember while writing this.
>>23600954The words he used was "This entry of the franchise is kinda like its gravestone/memorial. Something that you will look back on with the history it retains" ShiraP loves to use flowery words in his statements, hence why people connected a previous statement of his to Zeztz "An upcoming work of ours is more akin to overseas which is why we are putting more effort into it and putting a stop on other time-consuming productions" -> We cancelled the Winter and Spring movies in order to shift the focus on globalizing the IPs we have.
>>23600954He said it and no one took it seriously.
>>23600957>Shirakura was notably rather bitter-sounding in the "The Toys That Made Us" episode on Power Rangers when talking about SabanHe's likely hated Takeyuki Suzuki for a bit for signing the deal with Saban.
You know, if they announced this news before Gozyu premieres, I imagine many alumni would have offered to return to. We could have gotten more of that actors with different Sentai power like UniSenshi Kuwagataohger and Battle Japan
>>23600968Then they would be retreading Gokai/Zi-O again.
>>23600960I mean like the other anon said, he likes to use flowery language. This is also the same guy that has a boner for these types of anniversary stories. At first glance that basically just reads as "I'm gonna do what I wanted to do with Zi-O but without the time travel." right down to a major force in the show protecting the graves of the previous Mecha.
>>23600969Not really. It gives us some fun time seeing certain actors playing up different personalities instead
>>23600970>flowery language.flower sentai when
Ah I see
>>23600975I wouldn't be against that, that sounds like a hilarious theme.
Yep, now that Sentai is ending, Rider and Precure have simulcasts, I think the time is over for Over-Time.But who knows, they could try to sub Balala the Fairies or some random chink toku no one cares about.
>>23600962I think it's easy to paint Shirakura negatively, I've written an extended essay on the fact he is definitely a political power-player in Toei and how he exploited his success in Sentai and the gap in Kamen Rider to achieve prestige in Toei (>>23384301), but I do think he does genuinely care for not only those properties but also the works of Toei as a whole. His talks on what got him interested in working for Toei have some very deep cuts and insights on production info that'd sound wholly alien to any poster here. He had plenty of ways to screw them if he hated them.Suzuki signing off on the Power Rangers deal basically not only fucked up any corporate ambitions Shirakura had, but also fucked up Toei's chance at putting Super Sentai (The franchise that built Shirakura's legacy) out across the world in full form because naturally the Anglophonic example would become the most prominent. Tsuburaya was already paving the way with Ultraman: Towards the Future and Ultraman: The Ultimate Hero when Saban started working on Power Rangers. Toei was definitely interested in the same Westernized approach and Suzuki bit the hook on the first guy to spin him a yarn of how he'd do it and it ultimately scammed them. Yes, Power Rangers was a hit initially, but it never recaptured that lightning. It kept becoming more expensive to make. Saban's successes off of it were effectively IP short selling as he kept buying it for cheap and selling it for even cheaper while Toei was stuck operating in a sideline position where they were commissioned for filming work but had to futureproof most of their work and needed to ask themselves if the Power Rangers committee saw their next show as viable (because they kept skipping Sentai seasons). I'd be pretty jaded too if I kept making something and then having to ask "Well are these people who aren't going to even see the whole picture going to like the window dressing?" Especially when that work is the one that put you on the map.
>>23600968Even with them willing to help, guest actors are still more trouble for production. And if they weren't returning as their characters most of them wouldn't give much audience boost.I also don't think they want to announce the "end of Super Sentai". We'll get the new non-Sentai show eventually announced in its place, but they won't make a big announcement out of "Sentai is DEAD!"
>>23600976>Shinkenger and Decade on the same dotSo that's how the worlds converged...
>>23600979The reason OverTime still exist cause ShinkenAnon keeps dragging it from the grave. There's literally only two people left in there, and one of them wants to do anything but Sentai
>>23600976Damn, was Timeranger really that low??
>>23600960>>23600970While what he said probably wasn't meant as an official announcement that Sentai would end, the decision probably had already been made at that point, so he probably spoke about Gozyuger like this already knowing what would happen to the franchise like the cheeky bastard he is.
Hey. I'm hoping for a rebrand. Sentai is a fun series. Fuck Hasbro and Fuck Saban, with love, a poster from /m78/, the Ultraman thread.
>>23600988Yeah, you can see an immediate shift in the toylines and overall series produced afterwards. It basically killed 90s Sentai.
>>23600983I will gladly accept this as canon.
>>23600976ToQger was the actual show that started the decline of the franchise.
>>23600981>And if they weren't returning as their characters most of them wouldn't give much audience boost.From how hyped Decade was when it was revealed and still on air, I would say the opposite
>>23601001The UWs are the same as ARs
>>23600976Onore Dikeido
>>23600997The toy sales are only slightly lower than Kyoryuger, it was Ninninger who went nose dive.
>>23600991Thanks, and let's hope you guys can get through the UMC BS China's slinging at your franchise at the moment. For both of our cases, Foreign companies should never supersede the original producers.
>>23600983The point when everything changes between the 2....>>23600997That's Ninninger, ToQger earns the same average as every Heisei before it
>>23600976>KabutoRaiger instead of Hurricane Red
>>23600997Not particularly. You could see a trend of volatility in Sentai sales across the prior 8 years. While there was a relatively slow decline from Hurricaneger to Boukenger, it was a consistent movement that was trackable. Gekiranger floundering while Den-O became the best-seller since Ryuki likely ignited the conversation about Sentai and Rider's competing schedules. While Go-Onger's successful experiment with collectibles ignited a positive kick in the ass and Shinkenger having the advantage of working with a full year schedule while Decade cut out early, you can immediately see a huge dip and just swinging about from there. They couldn't find a way to consistently hold sales. If Zyuohger or Kyuranger could've found some way to recapture audiences the way Go-Onger, Gokaiger, or Kyoryuger did they'd be fine but effectively what happened was they lost balance and fell off the tighrope.
>>23600980Shirakura gives me the impression that he cares more about his career than he does about the franchises themselves, they're more of a means to an end for him. I feel like he would gladly replace either of them with a franchise of his own creation if it was guaranteed to succeed and make him look really good.
>>23601011Thanks! We fought the Thailand fucker Sompote, we can outlast this one too!
>>23600947>the show never didIn the end, jackass. In the end!
>>23600958>Something that you will look back on with the history it retains
>>23600976Probably coincidental, but it is interesting how it coincides with when Saban got the contract back from Disney. At the same time Power Rangers stopped being yearly and started dropping off a cliff is when Kamen Rider took off.I do have to wonder if there were any issues caused directly by the PR side around that time.
>>23600969That'd be better than whatever the fuck we've got now.
>>23600969>>23600968We only have one ring and 13 episodes left. What would the returning actors do at this point? unless Gozyuger gets extended since there isn't another "sentai" being planned right now
>>23600781And that's a good thing.King-Ohger was fantastic.
>>23601013Based.
What if the new not!Sentai with the possible robot kaiju becomes something like not!Dynazenon?
>>23600975>>23600977Yuuki Yuuna was Sentai-adjacent.Or with it being more human drama and shared power source with the monsters and no combining robots is it more Rider?
>>23601029Two rings (Dekaranger & Kakuranger)
Post your PERMANENT TOP 5 SEASONS, this ranking will never change again.

>>23600768>nu uh, it's just rebranding!If this is true, I await for the next phase of the denialImagine if that mysterious toku movie for this December end up being a prologue for the new series
When you think about it, the Gozyugers reluctantly becoming a team and always deserting/betraying each other is prepping us for this new not-Sentai series.
>>23601050LivemanTimerangerAbarangerDekarangerToQger

Anybody has the picture of that one chart comparing the sales of super sentai to other popular japanese franchises and the numbers being very low? I'm trying to fiund it in older threads but I just can't find the damn thing.
>>23601111Only have this image.
>>23601113That's the one. Thanks, anon!
>>23601050>5 SEASONSIn no particular order:>Shinkenger>Gokaiger>Dairanger>Timeranger>DonBrothers
I’ve always wanted a crossover between a Showa era Sentai and a modern era Sentai. it’s the only one of the big three that hasn’t done it yet.
>>23601050GorangerTimerangerKyoryugerGokaigerKingohger
>>23600969So what? It gets good response and it was their last time to ever do it.
HarukaFAGS lost btw
>>23601087If you think about it that's been a constant theme for the last several years. Donbrothers had Inu basically being a stranger to them until the show was nearly over, there was King Ohger as is well known and even Boonboomger despite being the most traditional of the last several years still had two arcs where one of the group abandoned the team and they were down to 4 for an extended amount of time.
>>23601128That's basically impossible because of how most Showa Sentai actors are over 50 and/or retired. Kenji Ohba showing up in Gokaiger was the closest they'd get.
>>23601141also I wonder what's ohba's status.
>>23601139Shut it Kingoh baby. Your intruding show ruined the five years plan that would have saved Sentai
>>23601157>but if we just had more five baby shows in a row then maybe-KingOh won. Get over it.
>>23601159Kingoh won us the guillotine, yesIf only there was never Rita
>>23601169KingOh is our salvation. KingOh is the blueprint. KingOh is the formula. You will (thankfully!) never see another Boonboomger in your life.
>>23601152I don't think he's been heard from in a few years which isn't a good sign
>>23601172Kingoh should not exist, and neither should that enby
Its a good thing to shorten the show length and discard the burden of 50 yearsOpens lots of creative possibilities
>>23600953because it's one of the best written sentai
>>23601178Outside of very specific anniversary shows the 50 year burden never really mattered anyway. It was completely disconnected for most of it's run. I'd argue Rider suffers more from it's massive franchise since it pulls in continuity more often.
>>23601177Obsessed and sexually confused.
Do you guys think Marvel would've been any less shitty about the Sentai license if they actually went through with the Sun Vulcan adaptation?
>>236010501. King Ohger2, 3, and 4 - interchangable : Kyoryuger, Donbrothers, Gekiranger5: Either Jetman or ToQgerBarely seen any sentai though

>>23600851If you pay attention to the shows he's worked on, you'll notice there's always at least a few episodes where one of the heroines is walking funny.
>>23601139Based Muslim. She needs to do an Allah Ackbar on Saban.
was thinking of getting into Donbrothers, i only watch KingOh and Rider before, is it good?
>>23601244Donbrothers is quite loved, yes. Though you'll love it more based on how much you love Inoue's comedy as it's basically the spiritual successor to his older comedy-focused toku Changerion.
You guys realize them not being a team means not getting a roll call, right?
>>23601250Donbrothers didn't get a roll call either.
>>23601178like ultraman?
>>23601257It did, but very very late

>>23601050It was difficult to choose only 5, so here are my favorite series:-Timeranger- Magiranger- Gekiranger- Gokaiger- Go-Busters- Toqger- King-Ohger

>>23601050ShinkengerGekirangerTimerangerDekarangerDonbrothersHonorable mentions for Boukenger and Gokaiger
>>23601334You watched it for the VS and were left dissapointedI watched it for the sexual tension between both reds and had a really good year
>>23600976Decade is the nexus point lol. And Shikenger was a very popular season at that too. It's too bad Kyoryuger was the last chance they had to do better though I feel that season introduced some traits to Sentai that led to its downfall.I would love to see this same chart compared with Precure because I believe Sentai sales started going underneath even that
>>23601244Donbrothers is a fantastic season but its structure and tone is pretty different from a typical Sentai. It doesn't care about mecha battles and toys as much as it cares about the character writing and plot, whether its comedy or serious.
>>23601337It feels like after Kyoryuger they tied to recapture what made it a success and never quite managed toLike you can clearly see Kyoryuger's DNA in Ninninger and these shows couldn't have had more different outcomes
>>23601353better than ritafag
>>23601050In no particular order:>Kingohger >Timeranger >Liveman>Megaranger>Gekiranger
At least the final run somehow managed to generate at least two fan favorites.
It just occured to me, 4 of the Gozyugers now have Universe Warrior arcs tied to them (Hoeru obviously had the most, and Rei kinda doesn't count), so of we're getting Universe DekaRed and NinjaRed I'm hoping it will revolve around Sumino and Kumade. DekaRed and Sumino seems like a no brainer, but if NinjaRed is involved with Kumade I'd have no idea how it would be.
>>23601387We still don't know how Kumade's teammates are doing, or if he even had a full team to work with during the first war.
>>23601389So potential Universe NinjaRed could be former Gozyuger/Kumade's teammate, if they decided it. But could be potential.
>>23601387Ninja Red is likely for Ryugi.
Does anyone remember notTaiya and his Kuwagata ring?Does anyone even care?
>>23601419What drama will even there be for thatHoeru has a fuckton of rings, Orca and can actually merge with Tega Swordnot-Taiya will explode if Hoeru so much as sneezes at him
>>23601309My mistake, it was Gingaman, Sambash's Barban extract
>>23601419Back then there's rumors of NotTaiya returning and apparently he has some rings. There could be a chance that Dekaranger and Kakuranger rings are on him.>inb4 Kuon just has the final three rings offscreen
>>23601250They can get individual intros without a team role call.
>>23600892rn there's a lot of focus in "they're renaming it to get around the pr deal" which is probably far from ideal
>>23601250team roll call is something I don't care about, since its always used only for padding the episode out when they can't afford more cg or wrote themselves into a corner somehow.
>>23601367I really think toy-wise Bandai completely missed that a huge point that made Kyoryuger's extra mecha more desirable was that each one had a ranger associated with them.Even Kyuranger just had a high number of Rangers but seemed to fail to grasp that association.
>>23601464Deka Red and Ninja Red definitely having people transformed into them because those two are part of the plushie release for characters who didn't get Action Hero but getting their own episodes like Red Racer (in the previous line up), Lupin Red and Patren 1gou.
NoB tribute on Super Sentai Spirits today.Hideaki Takatori, Mitsuko Horie, Showgo Kamada, and Yohei Onishi doing a cover of Boukenger and Goseiger theme
>>23600962To be fair, who wouldn't? Did that old fart even have a proper translator when negotiating? >>23600980I wonder if that Suzuki guy gets any flak from the industry and his peers? Or by fans for stupidly signing away?
>>23601510Uh why is he wearing a leash?
>>23601507I don't think Japanese fans knows anything about what the contract said. Saban & Toei contract is only known on western fandom sphere.
>>23601510Is she less flat now
>>23600768Well it's different.
>>23601518Japanese fans of Ultraman bashed the fuck out of Chaiyo when they found out what that Thai bastard tried to do. I'm sure there's Japanese sentai fans who caught wind of the shenanigans that Saban pulled with his "universal rights" contract and probably mocked Toei's old farts. Japan could've easily captured even greater strides in the entertainment market in the early 2000's if it weren't for their dinosaur executives. Before Kpop burst on the scene, there were Japanese artists trying to have their music for free on Youtube but the studio execs didn't want casuals having access. This is partly why Japan's economic edge is gone. Instead of keeping up with the times, their executives are all out of touch with reality. Japan's cybersecurity government official never used a fucking computer in his life. Anybody over 65 needs to die off in Japan.
>>23601496it's all over
>>23601525Well, for whatever that's worth, Erica used to keep thin by starving herself. At around the time of King-Ohger she changed philosophy and started eating more normally and focusing on exercise to keep a slim figure. So she should, hm, "fill out" a bit more as time goes by.
>>23601496Are they singing Saikyo Super Stars too?
>>23601537so she was saved by toei catering?
>>23601512Let's just say you have a new queen, Anon.

>>23601527>I'm sure there's Japanese sentai fans who caught wind of the shenanigans that Saban pulled with his "universal rights" contract and probably mocked Toei's old farts.forging a dead man signature isn't anywhere near as bad as Saban not allowing people to make parodies
>>23601622>>23601636Wait until you learn that Japan's government is still using fax machines to this day, and how a plan to phase them out in favor of going digital got scrapped because it got around 400 complaints from government officials.
>>23601646Creepy TegaJune...
>>23601691To be fair, overreliance on digital and cloud storage is dangerous too. There should be a paper back-up along with digital assets.

>>23600768It's just a rebrand fellas. That's why they are removing everything associated with Super Sentai and turning it into a watered down MH/KR.
>>23601793
>>23601817
>>23601703Yeah the recent AWS failure is proof of this. In fact, when Asahi got cyber-attacked, they had to go back to using physical copies of all its inventory and sales (which they meticulously keep). See having both low-tech and high-tech avenues is hedging your bets. Japan should embrace both. in case the network goes down. >>23601662LOL, I still crack up when Saban tried to pull a fast one on Gene Simmons. >"You asshole, I'm one of you"Mad respect for Simmons.
I'm just a Rider passerby but I didn't realize Gekiranger was this popular, at least it wasn't typically mentioned in other threads.
>>23601856Apparently if /ssg/ likes it, it sells like shit.
Who would Momorenger likely date out of all her Gorenger comrades?
Finally saw Kingohger vs Boombonger. I missed those kings so much, but I have to wonder, what happened to all that screen technology? I suppose they're using it for other shows?
>>23601878That room was rented from Sony, not actually owned by Toei.
I heard the time for the trademark is soon, possibly tomorrow. Knowing they will retire the Super Sentai name soon, what will they name the next show?
>>23601917Universe something
>>23601917Salacious Sexpests
>>23601917Ninmubutai? It means "Task Force". There's plenty of alternatives to "Squadron" which is what Sentai means.
>>23601139
>>23601023>I do have to wonder if there were any issues caused directly by the PR side around that time.What could that even possibly be? What you're talking about would have no impact on the Japanese side. The only potential wrinkle is KR tapping into over seas revenue in a way Sentai couldn't, but that wouldn't necessarily explain the steady down turn. At best you'd be arguing KR underwent the same domestic drop but managed to stay ahead through tremendous outside sales, which strikes me as an impossible situation.
>>23601917Sentai Super
>>23601967I dunno, maybe the PR side made more requests once Saban came back into the picture.
>>23601023>>23601967>>23602038We know Kyuranger was designed in collab with Bandai America, so not impossible
>>23602041I'm mostly just spitballing because it honestly is an interesting coincidence of perfect timing. It makes one wonder if there was anything else behind the scenes.
>>23602041Kyuranger, if I recall, they were intentionally making some of its decisions with Power Rangers in mind, though its been years by now for remembering specifically what was said. But then Hasbro skipped it and instead only used its mecha footage. There must of been tons of shit behind the scenes since the one at Hasbro who wanted to own PR died and then they seemed to have no one else who cared and instead just licensed it out for shitty comics. Given the sale to Hasbro was an insult to Bandai and Toei in the first place, I can imagine how pissed they were by all the Kyuranger planning was wasted.
>>23602071>Given the sale to Hasbro was an insult to Bandai and Toei in the first placeSaban was good friends with the head of Hasbro at the time of the sale. So Toei and Bandai were pissed that Saban fucked them over like that. I hope one day staffers from Toei write a tell-all book about what went on from 1993 to 2025 when sentai was being adapted for PR by Saban, Disney, Saban again, and then Hasbro. Bet there's all sorts of dirty secrets.
>>23601023Note Saban only got the Power Rangers license back May 2010, so during Kamen Rider W's 2nd half and around the time Goseiger was starting.Samurai itself only started airing the next year. So Shinkenger and Goseiger (at least pre-production) weren't made with Power Rangers in mind at all - which is why Samurai went straight for such a Japanese theme and Goseiger had the Cardass card and Datas, directly based on the Cardass arcade machine.
>>23602071Hasbro going in and made their own suits (by Frankensteining the Ryusoulger helmets) added insult to injury.
>>23602085No wonder Toei wants to circumvent the bullshit contract that PR has. I actually wonder why the fuck they even agreed to signing away those kind of terms?
>>23602096It was a different time. They surely weren’t expecting Japanese entertainment media to explode in popularity overseas in the 00’s.
>>23602096The toku hype was losing steam in Europe and Latin America. Anime was the thing.The American market seemed unreachable.The funny contract seemed like the best bet to make some international money at the time. And it really was, for a while...
>>23602071>>23602082Reminder that Saban and Goldner (the late CEO of Hasbro) were longtime friends, met back when Goldner used to be the CEO of Bandai of America.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian_Goldner>While president of Bandai America from 1997 to 2000, he befriended Power Rangers creator Haim Saban.[4]https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/hasbro-saban-partner-power-rangers-toys-starting-spring-2019-1085401/>The partnership is also, in part, the result of a long friendship between Goldner and Haim Saban, the creator of Power Rangers and founder of Saban Brands, which stretches all the way back to the earliest day of the Power Rangers franchise.>“Our friendship started, as a matter of fact, when Brian left the advertising agency he worked at and moved to Bandai, which had the license at the time,” Saban explains. (Goldner went on to become the president of Bandai Namco Entertainment America in 1997, a role he stayed in for three years; the company controlled the toy license for Power Rangers during that period.) “Since then, we’ve been in touch on and off, on different subject matters. From time to time, Brian would say to me, ‘So when are you coming to Hasbro?’ (Laughs.) This is just the culmination of events that have been happening for some time. We’re just beyond thrilled.”>As part of the new partnership, Hasbro will add teams of workers dedicated to the brand to its West Coast offices, allowing for “hourly and daily” collaboration with the crew at Saban in developing new product. Both Goldner and Saban praise the ease of collaboration between the companies already, with the latter joking that “both teams seem to get along so well that they don’t need Brian or me. The two of us have other things that we do other than Power Rangers, even though it might not seem like it. Brian is running a multimillion-dollar toy company!”They likely planned this shit for years but it ended up blowing up in their faces.
>>23602140Yeah, Goldner's dead, took his big brain ideas with him to the grave and now Hasbro is left with a property they never really wanted. Licensing it to whoever's got the cash and desire to make stuff with it.
>>23602140>>23602153To be extremely honest, Goldner must have been assassinated by someone from within Hasbro, probably Chris Cocks himself or someone under Trump's administration. That's why Hasbro can never sell the license to anyone just to ruin everything. In order for Toei to reacquire the license, they will have to go to court and disown seasons past Cosmic Fury. Both Sentai and Power Rangers are dead in name only, after all.
>>23602124I actually think that for the target demographic that toku in the West has huge hurdles. Kids seem to not be willing to use subs until a certain age. The mass market largely still watches anime dubbed, like Netflix statistics say that 90% of their anime viewers watch dubs over subs and Crunchyroll reported recently that England has the highest percentage of sub watchers at 48%.Unless Toei can think of some clean way to implement English performances into toku I think that rebrands and official streams won't really cause much international growth.Well, I suppose it's better than letting Saban just sit on distribution rights and not even getting revenue from even a modestly successful streaming system.
>>23602061source?
>>23601857It's the other way around, /ssg/ like unpopular things to feel better.
>>23601705Trainer-san is the 40 year old guy.
>>23602166One of the problems is Saban failed to or never really had any interest in trying expand or appeal to different demographics. Power Rangers basically stayed as something seen as just for young children. And that stigma has stayed with it.
>>23602140>They likely planned this shit for years but it ended up blowing up in their faces.Not to be pedantic, but its less "blowing up in their faces" and more "they tried to call a nonexistant bluff on Toei and Toei called their bluff." I got the impression Hasbro thought they had Toei by the balls -and they did, technically- so they went "We're just not going to use sentai anymore, nor sell your toys. What are you going to do? Cancel sentai?" Nobody expected their timing to be impecably horrible and catch Toei in a massive sentai downturn that possibly needed a rebrand anyways, so Toei just went "Yes, that's exactly what I will do." Hasbro and Disney have many things. The proper facilities or the proper production team and stunt actors to run a good toku show ain't one of them. They could get them, but it would take investment and that's were the problem lies. Toei? Toei already has all of that.
>>23602184I'm genuinely curious about the Disney+ Power Ranger show in production cause of that reason. Is it gonna be CG action scenes? Are they gonna try and Mandalorian it making it more of a higher budgeted King Oh?
>>23602166>Unless Toei can think of some clean way to implement English performances into toku I think that rebrands and official streams won't really cause much international growth.Kamen Rider being on streaming services and not doing nearly as bad as everyone thought they were going to (although it ain't doing fantastic either. Its doing "fine") shows there's a market out there. They just need to let it grow organically for a while, and then invest in good marketing to grow it, and most importantly, make it clear they are not Power Rangers.
>>23602184I'm a retarded faggot, that's not how that phrase goes.>"Hasbro bluffed, thinking Toei was going to bluff back. They didn't."It's still reads a bit wrong, though. Can you tell I've played very little poker?
>>23602187I don't think they expected to do "amazing" right away. But the first step towards growing is being available, and most people stream rather than going looking for things these days.Its also probably a good timing since Tojima wants to be a Kamen Rider is airing so that is probably having a non-zero effect on sending people that way.
>>23602199I remember some negative Nancy douchebags saying that Toei trying to distribute toku globally through subbed streaming was a pipe dream. It's fuckers like that why PR is still stuck in MMPR kiddy mode and toku in the West was not received despite 70s kids having no problem with dubbed Ultraman; something Will Smith even grew up watching.It'll take some time but Asian media is more readily available and accepted. Just look at Kpop Demon Hunters. Rider and other toku deserve to be shown without being localization since burgers were retards.
The rumors are not looking great... in general even without a deep attachment to super sentai, this must be seen as a huge loss culturally, 50 years in the running one of the staples of the genre just gone?? because they couldn't tolerate not being able to make more money in the west, kids get one less genuinely cool series to watch and at best they get something different for half a year I can't believe Sentai is going to end just so Toei can make another project that will fail just like the Space Sheriff revival and Hasbro can do a bad PR series that will never go past it's first season if it ever materializes at all, no respect for the art behind it, the legacy it left, just pure profit seeking
>>23602215At least it's on their terms. Why shackle themselves to a corpse lead by fucktards? And no self-respecting staff will accept their productions being treated as something to be cannibalized for a foreign distributor to edit and completely divest of its Japanese elements
>>23602217>And no self-respecting staff will accept their productions being treated as something to be cannibalized for a foreign distributor to edit and completely divest of its Japanese elementsTechnically, hasbro no longer doing that is what caused Toei to end Sentai.
>>23602217But on the other side, why throw away a 50yo franchise with such an extensive legacy just because a bunch of jews on the other side of the planet are being petty. They're never getting any reception on part with what they have gotten in Korea or China for Sentai in America, it's going to be a failed effort just like the several ones they have had in the past
>>23602223The one positive thing from corona in 2020 was that it propelled streaming to even greater heights during lock downs. Toei got sick of relying on middlemen and noted what Pokémon International was doing as well as other companies. Japanese media can finally be marketed directly without some bastards who double-crossed them like what Saban did with Hasbro.
>>23602228It was in a decline since Ninninger so this was going to happen regardless. The whole Hasbro/Saban PR thing just made them do it a bit earlier.
>>23602228Again a naysayer. It's 2025. It'll take time and effort but streaming a revamped sentai-esque franchise will reap in dividends than let it become a hack job.Japanese soft power is immense now. It's recognizable and still growing. Japanese live action superheroes are getting their fair shake because not everyone is a MAGA level retard against Asians.
>>23602232Yeah. Zeztz has shown that there's an audience and that there's potential.
>>23602215>because they couldn't tolerate not being able to make more money in the westIf it was over because of Power Rangers it would have happened years or decades ago. If Sentai was still selling as well as it used to, Toei would have just waited Hasbro out and bought the rights back, because Hasbro is in dire enough straits that it would need to agree to a deal. Sentai is dead because kids stopped watching Sentai and stopped buying Sentai toys, and it should be obvious why if you look at any of the competing products to Sentai.If you want to blame any one thing, blame Shinkalion. That came onto the scene in 2018 and its toys are ten times better than anything Sentai is putting out, while appealing to children of the same age range. There's a reason the only season in nearly a decade that did better than the previous one, Donbrothers, is the one where they went "look, our robot actually looks good and is fun to play with now".
>>23602170So you guys like me!?
>>23602232Lets be real too, Power Rangers has a low reputation. Saban's mishandled it and despite what the people still retarded enough to still be fans of Power Rangers think, its basically regarded as a baby show.
>>23601113So, PreCure is next on the chopping block I guess
>>23602179Saban was quoted in the New Yorker as PR being "retards in spandex" and the only reason why he got hundreds of millions before the Fox Family buyout. He never gave a shit about sentai and only acted like a skeevy bastard to Toei because he didn't bite the hand which fed him. At least not then.
>>23602249I cannot fathom anyone still being a PR fan beyond a grade schooler. The last time I saw PR was the Lionsgate movie back in 2021 and that was only because Billy from Stranger Things played Jason.
>>23602252Not just Saban, but the people who were actually doing the show too. According to the actors for Megaforce, anyone who basically tried to improve things or their characters were told "Who cares? The audience is 5 year olds"
>>23602232without robos or teams, is it really sentai-esque
>>23602259They're redefining it into something else. They're the ones who made Super Sentai; they can reinvent it.
>>23602251It depends on how well Precure is doing year by year. I don't have a chart for that like I do for Sentai or Rider, but what matters isn't how a brand is doing compared to the company's other brands, it's whether the brand demonstrates consistent returns. Sentai used to be fine even though it pretty much always sold 10 billion because it consistently sold 10 billion.
>>23602261Rider, similarly, rarely goes much past 22 billion, but it does 22 billion every time. It's a healthy brand that brings in reliable income and gets new fans to replace old ones at a sustainable rate. Sentai no longer does that.
>>23602238>because Hasbro is in dire enough straits that it would need to agree to a deal.I wonder if they would have caved to a less than optimal deal if the Disney+ show bombs or just falls through just to recoup some losses.Still, obviously Toei feels like they can't wait hence this attempt.
>>23602278They can just reclassify future shows as super sentai if they get the international rights back
>>23602215>because they couldn't tolerate not being able to make more money in the westIt's because the franchise isn't even making money in its home country.
>>23602164>HECKIN TRUMP IS WHY I DON'T GET MORE POWA WANGASAre you listening to yourself
>>23602278the biggest benefit of getting the rights back would be getting more Sentai DVD releases.
>>23602215I think Japan has taken sentai for granted for too long. Manchildren had to fight with everything they had for keeping rider and ultraman in the public consciousness after many cancellations but sentai was always there. Manchildren didn't form a strong bond with the franchise because it was a thing kids watch and then move on. And now it's gone. The coolest shit is always more appreciated in the west rather than Japan anyway
>>23602315I also wouldn't mind if they were able to put some of their collectibles on English p-bandai, as going through middleman sites suck.
>>23602323>P-BandaiThat too!
>>23602252>>23602256>Saban was quoted in the New Yorker as PR being "retards in spandex" >were told "Who cares? The audience is 5 year olds"They’re not wrong, you just can’t use that as an excuse for bad writing. Shirakura said the same thing and because of that we get shit like Zenkaiger, Gozyuger and Zi-O
>>23602293This, pretty much. The amount of retards that go "But it's only like 1/4th of the market!" is shocking, when they don't realize that's still 1/4th of possible profits not going to a fucking company.
>>23602278The rights cost them a pretty penny due to Saban's insanely one-sided deal, so they don't have to pay a lot to just sit on the rights and wait until "the time is right." Or until someone is stupid enough to try and license it.Even if the new show bombs, they're just going to sit on the deal and the IP, and you can bet on it.
>>23602379No, anon, I'm saying they're doing this mainly to revitalize their own profits in Japan. Whatever money they make in the west won't be anywhere near close to what Power Rangers did in its heyday.
>>23602381Specially when the rights give them access to, what, 30+ years of PR content they can just dump into their streaming service to inflate the value? (and eventually, the price too)Yeah, Toei ain't getting them rights anytime soon unless Sony pulls a DC comics and outright forgets they have the rights and makes them lapse. DC Comics, rather infamously, had the rights for James Bond comics in an insanely one-sided deal, but they thought James Bond was a dead franchise and forgot all about them and eventually lost them.
>>23602389I mean, sure, I got that, and I don't think anyone is expecting that. But what I'm trying to say is that, still, extra profits for them to make their quaterly balance sheets look better. It's dumb to think any company would not try and get profits just because "they won't be big enough," specially if the product is already there and streaming is extremely cheap and easy nowadays.Like, they literally have to do and invest the bare minimum to get their product out there and make a small bonus. Might as well do it so you make more money.
Not even sure anymore what bandai is thinking anymore.
>>23602410Its a two person team
>>23602410I can see how this would be the "This is NOT Power Rangers!" aspect to start selling the new IP to the west.
>>23602410So it'll be similar to something like a Metal Heroes show? That'll be interesting to see in the modern day.
To me it sounds like "The TwoKaiser show" One male heroOne femaleA robot team memberMascotsI hope we're not getting a zany show like Zenkaiger again
>>23602410Just like yesterday this account said 3 heroes at the start but now it's just main hero and heroine?
I hope we're getting a zany show like Zenkaiger again
>>23602410
if the half season rumors were true would that change the TV/toy scheduling at all?
>>23602410wait a minute
>>23602440>same jointsSOLD
>>23602439I would be so happy to get a Zenkaiger like show again.
>>23602437Its 3. Hero, Heroine, Robot a la Zenkaiger crew.
>>23602228The show has been in decline for years anon. The toys have been doing worse than Precure in some recent seasons.
>>23602396>I mean, sure, I got that, and I don't think anyone is expecting that. But what I'm trying to say is that, still, extra profits for them to make their quaterly balance sheets look better. It's dumb to think any company would not try and get profits just because "they won't be big enough," specially if the product is already there and streaming is extremely cheap and easy nowadays.Again, /m/ seems to be casting about for some dramatic "this is all Saban's fault" cope to try and deal with a very simple reality: Sentai is just not cutting it enough any more and so it's getting canned. That's it. That's the story.The fact that this will allow them to circumvent the insane shit Saban has over the western market with a new IP needs to be looked at as a happy bonus, not the determining factor. Had Sentai been doing as well as Kamen Rider, they wouldn't be canning 50 continuous years of cultural relevance just to try and be able to have a western release. It's insane to imagine that's what this is about.Yes, that fucking contract has probably been a specter hanging over their heads ever since the similar series began to see some global appeal, but it's just not reasonable to see it as the why of this happening. Sentai's been struggling for years. It's tried damn near everything to regain some of where it used to be, much less where things like Kamen Rider are now. This was the inevitable result of none of those even twitching the needle.
>>23602459When Zenkaiger was billed as a big anniversary season and it did the same numbers as Timeranger, it was over.
>>23602261I think this is the best I can find for Precure
Saban must live rent free in anon’s head. I almost forgot that he doesn’t even own PR anymore.
>>23602469Wonderful did great and Kimi to Idol also seems to be doing very well.
>>23602472Hasbro isn't too different from him so it's easy to forget it's theirs now.
>>23602469Yeah, those aren't franchise in decline numbers. Obviously they've never been able to recapture the highs of Heartcatch and they'd like that, but it's pulling returns that cycle up and down, it's not just going down over and over.
>>23602466>The fact that this will allow them to circumvent the insane shit Saban has over the western market with a new IP needs to be looked at as a happy bonus, not the determining factor. Had Sentai been doing as well as Kamen Rider, they wouldn't be canning 50 continuous years of cultural relevance just to try and be able to have a western release. It's insane to imagine that's what this is about.Ah, so that's what this is about. You're one of those retards that think that losing money is no big issues for companies that are about to be blocked from even distributing fucking toys outside of asia and brazil thanks to hasbro. One of those japanophiles that insist Toei doesn't need the rest of the world and ignore the writing on the wall of Toei and Bandai actually pushing Kamen Rider, your so-called "japanese success story", to all western streaming services possible.Fair enough, you're an imbecile. Opinion discarded. This coversation is over. Thankyouwalktrough.
>>23602466it's not saban's fault per se, more so that they sold the rights with such broad conditions in the first placeif they had gotten the global rights back at some point, there is a much higher chance they wouldn't be in this situation at allimagine if they were in charge of producing all of the nostalgic content/merch for mmpr/zyuranger in the west for the past decade, they'd be on easy street
Sentai is immortal.
>>23602514次回スーパー戦隊、マグマに死す!
>>23602514Every time someone says this, the franchise gets closer to cancellation.
>>23602500>and brazilFun fact:Brazil is also in Hasbro's territory.The most recent legal screenings of Sentai only happened because contracts were signed with Saban shortly before the sale of the franchise.As soon as they expired, the rights were automatically transferred to Hasbro's local representatives.
>>23602500This is something important, if people pay attention. Not just Toei, but Bandai cares about the international market because money from anywhere is nice. Thats why they expanded p-bandai to be available in multiple countries. While Toei is only dipping their toes now on their own, Bandai has been a big player for years.Something they can no longer do as you said, is sell their toys for sentai overseas because Sanban and Hasbro fucked them over. Their stuff like SHF are big in other countries, and they would do the things like make Power Rangers variants for over seas, not to mention the mecha. And now they can't market those things to other countries. While yes, theres always people who will pay extra an use middleman services, that number is fewer than those who just want convenient service and the base price.

>>23602549
>>23602549TegaSword is so lucky...
>>23602511Nah it's definitely Saban's fault as well, majorly
>>23602251Ultraman seems to be doing worse according to the chart.
>>23602558a fool and his money are soon parted, at the very least they should've had a clause that saban couldn't sell the rights without offering them back to toei first - this is an extremely common condition in these situations and they didn't do it
The Anti-Imamori squad, call off!
>>23602319It's also just part of the cultural change. Kids nowadays have unlimited access to information thanks to the internet and mature faster than before, you can't fool them with cheap toys when they know there are way better stuff out there. Also, the Sentai formula doesn't work anymore and having to pay respect to 50 years of legacy probably doesn't help either. It's definitely sad to see it end.
>>23602576I mean, south korea and Takara have crushed the DX robot market with Miniforce/Metal Cardbot and JobBraver/Shinkalion and WildKingdomwhen i hear about robots its those, not sentai
>>23602545That's odd, considering there's already a distributor of sentai in brazil that even on the original contract with Toei, Saban had given up. Guess they must've signed a new, worse contract while we weren't looking.Oh well, HUE gonna HUE I guess.
>>23602568I'm not claiming that Toei isn't also minorly at fault for boneheadedly signing such a shitty contract, but Saban purposely aiming for one that is unreasonably in his favor with the intention of fucking the other party over makes him an evil asshole. I know that's a given with him being what he is and all, but that doesn't make it any less vile.
>>23602568Japanese media companies were, stereotypically, terrified of trying to expand into the west, although it helped that for decades their domestic market was hella strong, so the deal with Saban was just extra dough on the already plentiful domestic dough.Like, I'm not saying that in hindsight, they were complete and utter morons for negotiating such a one-sided contract. I'm saying that at the time, it made some degree sense. It is only now that -with obvious handsight, sure, but still- Toei realizes that, no, as good and healthy their domestic market is (or was), they can't survive JUST with that market.
>>23602591>Japanese media companies were, stereotypically, terrified of trying to expand into the west *in the 90sIt's the same kind of "good times will last forever" that caused the 80s economic collapse, which with the power of denial alone, has extended two generations and then some. Why is their culture like that? No idea. Japan is a goofy place.
>>23602598In fairness, that sounds like a pretty typical mindset found in most all places around the world, not just Japan.
>>23602566Toei has other shows but Tsubaraya only has Ultraman, chances are it'll just get cheaper and nostalgiabaity again.
>>23602610They have Gridman too though
I imagine the mecha are fully CG now, no suit actor and no miniature scale sets to save costs, probably like tomica rescue force.
>>23602584Saban's the same guy who taunted Gene Simmons in Hebrew about how he was gonna screw him over, which immediately tanked the deal because Gene was also Jewish and spoke Hebrew. And when related the story just laughed and said "Yeah that's probably something I'd do."
>>23602619No new work since 2 years ago, even the director is doing a new anime with characters referencing TMNT now.
>>23602628Completely unrelated, but Gene allegedly shouted at him in Hebrew, more or less, "You fucking asshole, I'm one of you!"Leave it to Saban to be so utterly stereotypically jewish another jew calls him out on his bullshit.
>>23602184If you think about it it could be a potential genius move down the line if all of Hasbro's attempts to revive PR fails and finally they're just "Fuck it lets try adapting Sentai again" only there IS no Sentai to adapt (and it's too late to try for any that they missed all those suits are gone). Now Toei has them by the balls. "Ok motherfuckers, you want more Sentai then renegotiate the contract. Otherwise we're doing our own thing."
>>23602549Wtf, they have entire separate board for Toku AIslopNo wonder i couldn't find it
Imagine if they just go back being pretty normal Sentai in 2027.
>>23602644Is this going too far? nsfw https://tieba.baidu.com/p/10168187416
>>23602641It's a possibility, but knowing the utter jewness of Disney, they'll probably just sit on the rights out of pettiness, I MEAN, to "wait for the right time to try again." Plus, they need content to shove into their dying streaming service. 30 years of power rangers will give you that.
>>23602644Yo', you have a link? I want to see if I can request a bunch for Ohranger's Keris. Guess I'll have to use DeepL for it, though, as I don't speak chinese moonrunes.
>>23602648Yeah but nobody gives a shit about 25 of those years so it won't bring the numbers they want.
>>23602651How do you even post without a baidu account? It requires a chinese number and photographing your passport. Anyway they seem to favor the villainesses so maybe they'll get there on their own.https://tieba.baidu.com/f?kw=%E7%89%B9%E6%91%84ai%E7%BE%8E%E5%9B%BE
>>23602633>he doesn't know
>>23602657>It requires a chinese number and photographing your passport.Ah, shit. Guess I'm not getting good quality AI Keris then. Welp.
>>23602619Modern Gridman relies on another production company to make it. If they made a second Gridman toku kids wouldn't inherently care because the new stuff is for anime otaku.
>[Exclusive] The Super Sentai Series comes to an end after 50 years, with its successor being a special effects hero series set in a detective setting, a TV Asahi staple!Anyone knews JPrime reputation as a news site?>https://www.jprime.jp/articles/-/39037
>>23602895>not rebranding Dukey btfo
>>23602895Toku detectives? That's the first time that's ever been brought up.But if it's anything like Winspecter or Solbrain that would be sick (I mean, hero/heroine/robot pal is just Solbrain.)
>>23602895So, Solbrain 2.0?Cool.
>>23602895>>23602900what is the broad concept for this kind of thing if this is what they want to replace a 50 year franchise with another 50 years new franchise (assuming that 50 years thing still in the plan)?
>>23601050Kinda off topic but does anyone have picture of all 50 sentai main robot?
>>23602913It seems like the main thing, at least according to this article, is that they don't think Sentai's team concept works anymore.>The story revolves around a detective in his 20s, so it may be more of a detective drama than a Sentai series. Filming will begin at the end of November, so casting may be nearing completion, " said a source at the production company.>"The biggest reason for the series' end is said to be sluggish sales. The Super Sentai series has struggled in terms of merchandise sales compared to Kamen Rider and Ultraman, and concerns about its future have been growing for several years. The premise of multiple Sentai heroes may no longer be in keeping with the times. Detective dramas are TV Asahi's specialty, so this is probably a way to revitalize the series ," said an entertainment agency insider .
>>23602895It seems Color found a similar article, it seems to be fake.
>>23602932it certainly doesn't when you have a writer that can't juggle all the characters competently. filming availability is a part of it, of course, but if you can't write a way for all the team, mybe the mentor, and some or all of the villains to get equal relevance most of the episodes, what's the point in having them all
>>23602932>>23602935now this feels weird. wasn't it mention by color himself the next series is gonna be magical school related?
>>23602940It could be a case like Drive or Ex-Aid where the actual profession of the cast is fairly unrelated to the toys.That said, although apparently this is a big new sites, they've been apparently caught making up sources in the past.
>>23602581Consider:Brazilians make some good deals with Toei.Saban appears and dominates the universe with PR.Those good deals naturally begin to expire, and due to the success of PR, Saban gains priority.Brazilians now have to deal with Saban instead, which says no to most renewal attempts. Some succeed with Toei's help.Deals with Saban become increasingly difficult and short-lived.They manage to get one last contract, then Hasbro appears.Contract ends and Hasbro says: "lol, lmao"
>>23602940I think he don't said anything about the new sentai until recently with the Universe thing.
Anyone know if that 'TV Asahi makes good detective drama' thing is true?
>>23602966>YOU KILLED USSssss....
>>23602969Its crime procedural series Aibou has been going for 21+ seasons. They seem to know how to do it properly.
>>23602935Glad if so
>>23602966>oh hey, those are the bitches that ended our legacy
>>23602940You can easily have a detective mystery in a magic school setting. But they began shooting in September so i don’t think the article is correct
>>23602628>>23602640I've got a bottle of aged bourbon to crack open the day that stupid fucker croaks. Can't wait for the inevitable sticky here.
>>23602895>>23603002Why I got a feeling this is actually that secret Toei project unrelated to Sentai and Rider but the article trying to connect this to the Sentai ending news.
>>23602584>>23602591I can just imagine the new blood of Toei cursing out and ridiculing Suzuki and all the other shitheads who stupidly signed away that contract.
>>23602966>lupinred and don momotaro look around awkwardly
>>23602641>>23602648Japanese learned painful lessons with the bullshit that Tsuburaya had with Chaiyo, Harmony Gold against Studio Nue/Big West, and even Konami against Upper Deck Company over Yu-Gi-Oh. They're well aware of how US companies fucked them over and now they're prepared to deal with any bullshit from Hasbro, Disney, etc.
>>23602950>Brazilians now have to deal with Saban instead, which says no to most renewal attempts.That's the thing, though. If this picture from the alleged Saban deal is correct, they shouldn't have had to deal with Saban as Saban left that territory to Toei because they already had deals with Sato in place.That's why I said that maybe, at some point, Sato -for some weird ass fucking reason- decided to sign a worse deal down the line, but if this pic is true, Saban had no business being in Brazil because Saban never claimed Brazil to begin with.
>>23603017I think Saban overreached himself and tried to crib on Toei's rights in Brazil. I highly doubt Toei allowed Brazil to slip from their grasp. When the Chroma Squad fiasco happened, I bet Toei got wind of it and summoned Saban to explain himself. He probably had to wheedle himself to Toei's executives and made some bullshit excuse that he didn't mind to overstep and probably paid some compensation. But it's probably what tipped off to Toei that Saban couldn't be trusted anymore. Once PR was sold to Hasbro, I bet everyone was livid at that motherfucker and vowed that they'd never do business with them. Toei's not just toku but also anime and has major clout in the industry so Saban will never be able to cut a deal with Japanese companies anymore.
>>23603016Complete diffent situations, though.>Tsuburaya had with ChaiyoThat was just a contract forgery con that lasted way too fucking long because of some retarded stamp because what's even copyright in China? Yes, even Thailand.>Harmony Gold against Studio Nue/Big WestLike some other anon said in another thread, this one is way different because Big West and Studio Nue nearly went bankrupt making Macross and they desperately needed money from anywhere to not FUCKING DIE because the series went extremely overbudget and was produced (as in, mismanaged) like absolute ass. Basically, the contract was loopsided on Harmony Gold's favour not because Shuki Levi went full jew, but because Big West, literally, had its back against the fucking wall. It was a deal made out of deperation, unlike Toei, who just had 0 foresight whatsoever and thought they could live from the domestic market forever.>Upper Deck Company over Yu-Gi-Oh.That... I actually don't know about because children card games are retarded (they sure make a ton of money, however). I'll take your word for it on that one.
>>23602932>>The story revolves around a detective in his 20s, so it may be more of a detective drama than a Sentai series.Eh, close enough. Welcome back Space Sheriffs.
>>23603026Whoops, wrong jew. Harmony Gold was not Shuki Levi (that's the composer that was buddies with Saban and did a lot of cartoon intros), Harmony Gold was Frank Agrama... and he's dead.
I'm trying to tally up exactly how many heroes there are now by series endGokaiger established up to that point there was EXACTLY 200And in the 14 series since then here's what I count if anyone could check my math (I do not count one-time movie/special appearance heroes like Mido Ninger or TOQ #7)>Gobusters (5)>Kyoryuger (10)>TOQger (6)>Ninninger (6)>Zyuohger (6)>Kyuranger (12)>Lupinranger/Patrenger (7)>Ryusoulger (7)>Kirameger (6)>Zenkaiger (7)>Donbrothers (10)>Kingohger (7)>Boonboonger (6)>Gozyuger (6)Which gets me 101, bring us to 301 heroes. Any of those seem off?
>>23603026Oh there's more>Tatsunoko asserted that the the defendants continued to claim that they owned the Speed Racer rights after they expired in May 2011, and the defendants misappropriated and exploited the rights, licensing the property to a list of companies that includes Hollywood studio Lions Gate and Toonz Entertainment.>The settlement states that SRE's Speed Racer (Mach Go Go Go) license agreement expired on May 31, 2011. All rights reverted to Tatsunoko as of the termination date of SRE's license. Tatsunoko now exclusively owns all Speed Racer intellectual property rights worldwide, and any licensing agreement must be made through the company. Due to the settlement, Tatsunoko and SRE ended their business relationship and agreed that any exploitation and licensing of Speed Racer after May 31, 2011 is unauthorized unless granted directly through Tatsunoko. https://www.crunchyroll.com/news/latest/2014/1/2/speed-racer-licensing-lawsuits-settledhttps://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2014-01-04/speed-racer-rights-revert-to-tatsunoko-with-lawsuit-settledAs for Harmony Gold, their trademark for Macross right when Studio Nue & Big West were sorting the rights with Tatsunoko was a Grade A cunt move. Not to mention threatening any importer of Macross merch in the US. So yeah fuck Harmony Gold and fuck Robotech. The Chaiyo fiasco would be laughable if it hadn't been dragged out for so long.
>>23603032Yeah but Agrama was one slimy bastard and had ties with Italian politicians. I have zero fucking pity for that dude or his employees at HG.
>>23603023>so Saban will never be able to cut a deal with Japanese companies anymore.To my knowledge, Saban mainly distributes shitty straight-to-streaming movies now.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saban_FilmsUnlucky for him, that medium is full of fellow jews, so sure, he probably tries to screw them over as well, but I'm willing to bet his screw-over ratio is relatively low and his profit margins are way thin compared to the PR days.
>>23603045Saban built his fortune off of importing Japanese media way before Power Rangers. In the 1980s, he brought over a lot of anime and had it dubbed. It's because of those connections that he was able to approach Toei to distribute sentai. Anyhow I hope goes full retard 1 day and tries to sue all of Japan for being the creator of multi-colored spandex heroes battling monsters with vehicles and giant robots. It'll be glorious to see him fall on his face and get kicked to the curb.
>>23603042>>23603044Oh, I'm not saying Frank Agrama wasn't one hell of a slimy piece of shit. My only point was that you can at least point at the situation at the time and go "Oh, so that's why you signed such a stupid contract, fair enough." Not to mention no one could've predicted Harmony Gold was going to trademark Macross and get away with it.The super sentai/PR deal, on the other hand, had no reason to exist other than Toei thinking they didn't need global profits and where, therefore, retards.
>>23603051Toei probably did try to market sentai in the US, but Americans are stupid racist fucks. I'm even surprised the Dynaman parody dub (my cousin taped the episodes when they were on Nickelodeon) was even permitted. At the time, Toei and other Japanese companies didn't realize how fucking assholish foreign distributors could be with their properties. Remember the bullshit over Golion and a Lion Voltron movie years ago?
>>23603049Actually no. Saban made his fortune by conning some israel composers and claiming the credit for more than 3,000 cartoon soundtracks that were only credited to him (and Shuki Levi). Remember: Saban Entertainment started primarily as a music production company before moving into TV production and distribution in 85 with Macron 1 and Bumpety Boo. And Saban lost money in his first attempts, not really making that much profit until The Adventures of Tom Sawyer.
>>23603061Oh I heard what he did in the music industry. He even turned against Shuki Levy. But by the late 1980s, he made some good money from importing anime and it made him visit Japan frequently enough to see sentai and he saw the potential for profit. And of course even in the 90's he continued dubbing anime like DBZ and Digimon.
>>23603057Actually, no. They couldn't. Same issue with Macross and why Robotech existed: back in those days, the money was in syndication, and they couldn't enter syndication because shows and series needed to have a minimum of 100 episodes, which no Sentai had.They tried in Brazil, Latin America (where an spanish version of Solbrain exists, for some weird reason), and France (Bioman had two sequels... which were just retitled sentai series!) because no such thing as syndication existed, but in the US they were legit locked out of it.
>>23603065>And of course even in the 90's he continued dubbing anime like DBZ and Digimon.I mean, yes, although he did eventually lose the rights to the DBZ dub and his dub flopped hard even back in the day from what I remember.If I remember correctly, Digimon aired in Fox Kids network, which was a different beast altogether (due to Fox) and had very little involvement from Saban. I'll give you that this last one is [citation needed].
>>23603066Funny, Johnny Sokko and His Flying Robot was dubbed in English and even syndicated in the early 1980s. Ted Turner dubbed Ultraman throughout the 70's and early 80's too. But I guess dubbed sentai couldn't work because the US is "special". And I do find it hilarious that France dubbed sentai and even Metal Heroes in the 1980s. They even had City Hunter! The US truly is assbackward.
>>23603080France, for what its worth, has always had way more lax censorship for kid's content compared to the US. Way, WAY more lax.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fQNwliUi4OEFucker's sold Cat's Eyes to kids, for christ's sake. Mexican distributors sold Saint Seiya and not even them dared to sell Cat's Eye to children.
>>23603093There's a reason why Toei had Dorothee, the host of Club Dorothée (a kid's programming block in France which featured dubbed toku and anime) guest-star in Jiraiya, Liveman, and Kamen Rider Black. France has always appreciated and respected Japanese culture.
>>23603093>Saint SeiyaLatin Americans are insanely devoted to Saint Seiya. It's a shame it never took root in the US. That bullshit "Knights of the Zodiac" dub was ear-poison and the live-action movie was awful.
>>23603057Imagine if Stan Lee is the one successfully bringing Sentai with Sun Vulcan few years back instead of Saban
>>23603114Would've been an interesting alternate universe to ponder.We could've even seen Sentai/Marvel crossover comics.
Super Sentai is dead.And we killed it.
>>23603106lol I already forgot that movie existed
Was it a good show, Anon?
>>23603114>there's a parallel universe where VulEagle got into MvC
>>23603135Considering it ran for fifty years straight, yeah. I can count the amount of sentai I thought were just straight up bad on only one hand.
>>23603135I watched all of sentai from Fiveman to GoGo-V thanks to Shout Factory. I vastly prefer sentai over PR despite being initially exposed to Samurai as a kid. Sentai is full of Japanese social/team dynamics and I really like their riffs on mythology and technology for themes. Watch Carranger. It's a fucking riot and then you can watch other sentai.
>>23603017Brazil is on that exclusion list only because Toei already had contracts with Everest Video and some other distributors.Despite being relatively good, these contracts eventually expired. And as soon as that happened, Saban took advantage of the opportunity and used their extremely greater purchasing power and, through local representatives, acquired the brand in the area, basically leaving the others powerless.These representatives were basically puppets of SISI and SINV; practically everything that SISI and SINV did around the world, they would also do synergistically in Brazil, as if they were the same thing. Thus giving priority to the exhibitions of PR instead of Sentai.Sato, or anyone else who wanted to bring Sentai, was forced to deal with them instead of talking to Toei. Sometimes they succeeded, sometimes they didn't.So Hasbro acquired PR, and Saban's representatives transferred everything to Hasbro's representatives, who continued synergizing with their bosses. When this happened, Sato was in the middle of a contract with Saban, so there were some reruns of Changeman and Flashman after the sale.As soon as the contract ended, there was nothing Sato could do, because Hasbro was already signaling that any attempt would be automatically denied, to focus exclusively on PR.
>>23603163It's stuff like this that I'm not surprised Toei wants to clear up the mess that the old contract did.
>>23603163Literally never deal with Jews
>>23602577>I mean, south korea and Takara have crushed the DX robot market with Miniforce/Metal Cardbot and JobBraver/Shinkalion and WildKingdom>when i hear about robots its those, not sentaiWell yeah, those are just plain better toys. They have cool designs and joints that actually move. Meanwhile the last Sentai robot can move its arms from down to forward and that's it.
>>23603317Obligatory comment about how they took one step forwards with Don Onitaijin and then almost immediately stumbled backwards
We are living last Super Sentai threads.
>>23603026>That... I actually don't know about because children card games are retarded (they sure make a ton of money, however). I'll take your word for it on that one.TL:DR Upper Deck started to make their own Yugioh cards without Konami's permission and when Konami found out, they just doubled down. Konami sued them so hard the company got shut down.>>23603296Literally impossible when it comes to business outside of Asia, and in Asia the Chinese fulfill the same niche as Jews do in Western business. Learn some Hebrew, have any contracts you consider triple checked by a good lawyer, and never take any business proposition on good faith alone.
>>23603348Meanwhile we have people tangling themselves into knots trying to explain how it's Saban, it's Hasbro, it's this and that and the other thing when I would think that /m/, the board about cool robots, would be able to see the obvious answer: Sentai is dead because Sentai robots suck and everyone who's not Sentai does the same ideas better.
>>23603361It can be both
>>23603357If anyone from the US goes to Japan to pitch a business venture, the Japanese should damned well make sure all the odds are in their favor.
>>23603369I'd say the same for any country doing business with the US honestly. We simultaneously want complete control of what we invest in but then we'll also bitch and moan that our foreign partners aren't doing anything. It's a really bad habit.
>>23603374I wonder just how far Hollywood's infiltration of Japan's entertainment industry (anime & manga) is doing? They know that for years, that anime and manga is selling like gangbusters amongst US youth. They want a piece of that pie (or all of it). And Hollywood HATES competition.
>>23603387We had Black Sun recently which outside of the action and effects themselves, was a shitshow in second hand Californian politics muh racismus and activism writing complete with George Flyd scene.
>>23603387To me it seems like what they're most concerned with is distribution rights for anime as opposed to making Japan make content for them. You have some collaborations like the various Adult Swim funded anime or Cyberpunk Edgerunners, both of which have backing by Warner Brothers funnily enough.
>>23603365it can't.
>>23603401Don't fucking remind me. I loved the costume designs but Kaijin protesting "I CAN'T BREATHE!" was cringe. Why the fuck are US race politics put in a Japanese series?
>>23603401Black Sun isn't entirely based on American protests, it also took some inspiration from the Korean protests in Japan.
>>23603403Why not
Is he right? Would life be better if you never got sucked into hearing leaks and rumors 24/7? https://x.com/eip__/status/1985406058081210443
>>23603361>would be able to see the obvious answerSentaifags are weird in that a lot of them are indenial about the franchise being unpopular. even in this general, anons would argue up and down that the franchise isn't in trouble and toy sales don't matter. You see it now with the rebrand cope and anons still talking about Saban even though he sold the franchise more than 5 years ago. as another example they would make fun of the MMPRwank but pretend that sentai doesn't have the same issue with zyuranger
Normies on social media are pretty upset at the all the rebranding rumors Even the Japanese are annoyed.
>>23603424Maybe you'd have a point if TegaSword wasn't so popular
You know this whole thing reminded me I never finished Zenkaiger. I should, I had like 5 episodes left.
>>23602576>>23602577>>23603317>>23603348>>23603361You WILL buy the shitty robot toys.
>>23603421Leaks do spoil things, but it's still exciting to finally see them in action after seeing it revealed. Rumors are more fun to fuck around with because you're left wondering what it will be like, and you still need to figure out what's real and what isn't.
>>23603387Not very I would guess and hope
I wish some kind billionaire would fund sentai forever.
>>23603431You just proved my point. One toy being successful doesn't make up for the declining sales. We don't even have Gozyuger's Q3 results yet
>>23603424You realize by talking about toy sales as a reason you are in fact saying this is because of Hasbro, right? Because they did in fact make some products for Global markets that they couldn't sell globally thanks to Hasbro?
>>23603428They should just create a series where Japanese heroes destroy the Jewish companies that fucked over Super Sentai. It'll be like the Demon Empire Fazbro and the Galactic Terror Seiban that only Hatte Saburo and his chosen heroes can purge from the world of tokusatsu.Also just some side story of how Ghibli is at war with the fascist regime of Wally Gishuneppu
>>23603447sales were declining before Hasbro got the rights
>>23603431TegaSword isn't actually popular, it's just selling better than the previous robot, but it's not selling well enough to save Gozyuger's abysmal sales.
>>23603403Nah it can
>>23603450The Japanese businessmen handling Sentai are the sole reason why Sentai is failing, they got nobody but themselves to blame.
>>23603454meant for >>23603431
>>23603424i also like how people speak of Saban as the great satan when he's one of the few people who wouldn't want the franchise to fail. It's in way worse hands with Hasbro since they don't care if it fails or not and benefit from it never profiting.
>>23603455Nah it's both that and other evils
>>23603461They're both companies owned by Jews which is pretty funny.
>>23603461To be fair, he is
>>23603466Oh don't get me wrong, he definitely is. I still hold a grudge over Chroma Squad's treatment.
>>23603447>because of HasbroSaban and Hasbro are not the same thing. >make some products for Global markets that they couldn't sell globally thanks to Hasbro?It was declining before they even considered doing a global expansion. You guys are pointing fingers at everything but the actual reason which is kids and the adult audience aren't interested in the toys.
>>23603163Ah, fair enough. So, typical jew fashion, Saban basically loophole'd his own contract in Brazil to where they acquired the brand in the area and foced Sato or anyone else who wanted to bring sentai to negotiate with them instead of Toei. Yeah okay that makes sense. I'll admit my retardation in not being aware of that happening over in Brazil, my bad.
>>23603461>It's in way worse hands with Hasbroonly because they're not allowed to make a animated show. We get shit that would've never been possible with just BoJ like pic related and all those third party merch
>>23603478You can’t use that chart as gospel The projections bandai wanted dramatically lowered after Lupat.Everything in reiwa besides Kingohger or Kiramager due ti covid met its expectations or went above.
>>23603483The projections were lowered because the sales were falling. Bandai didn't just decide they wanted to make less money, they realized that Sentai was no longer capable of selling 10 billion and warned their investors that it likely wouldn't do that. Then it couldn't do 8 billion, then 6 billion. This is purely domestic market. The domestic numbers for Sentai have halved in ten years. That has nothing to do with Hasbro or Saban or anybody else, it's purely on Bandai for making shit toys and kids choosing alternatives that are more fun to play with. That's why the big downturn is 2018, because that's when Shinkalion came out and became a smash hit with the exact same age demographic that used to buy Sentai toys. Nobody wants to buy a brick that has no play value when for the exact same amount of money they could get a toy that looks cooler and has a better transformation and can move its fucking elbows.
>>23603387Seems to be going pretty well considering how more and more stuff keeps getting censored from the source.And well, you know how the meme goes, Japan is always 10 years behind the rest of the world.Not everyone likes it, obviously, you saw that one Torishima and Horii thing with Dragon Quest where SE went DELETE FUCKING EVERYTHING full on damage control.
>>23603492There's a reason sentai went from Kyoryuger/Toqger raking in 14.4-12.2 billion yen a year to cratering to barely a third of that number with Kiramager and Zenkaiger and it's not because of Saban/Hasbro/Golder. >>23603483>Everything in reiwa besides Kingohger or Kiramager due ti covid met its expectations or went above.Because they no longer had heightened expectations since shows were bombing right and left. You can't change the fact that GB earning 9.1 billion yen was once upon a time considered a disappointment by Bandai and its CEO. Now even the best show of the current period struggles to get to within striking distance of that number. Toei and Bandai would kill for GB type numbers nowadays because of how bad Sentai does now.
>add a tranny to your franchise>it diesGet woke go broke
>>23603483>>23603554Also, it's not like we saw production numbers falling consistently with these sales.Sentai lost unique monster suits back during Kiramager, changing to a base body with accessories, with only a few uniques, but the same has happened to Kamen Rider in spite of the much higher sales. Effects work and such basically seem on par between the two series too in spite of Sentai's much lower sales.
If Super sentai really is ending, then can we at least have one final and definitive Super Hero Getter also, damm, ending on Gozyuger of all series
>>23603431Gozyuger has the worst selling first half since Zenkaiger. Even by Reiwa Sentai standards it's low.
>>23603582>believing Xwitter propaganda
Question: Does anyone remember way back in the day there used to be a funny gif of a monster girl in her human form shaking her hips before turning into a pink armadillo, rolling down a hill, and crashing against a truck? Was she from the early super sentai seasons or something else? Because I lost the gif and god fucking dammit, I can't seem to be able to find it or the monster no more.
>>23603424>Sentaifags are weird in that a lot of them are indenial about the franchise being unpopular.It's not just Sentaifags, MMPRfags and people who don't keep up with it feel the same way about it.While obviously a lot of it is autism and/or not wanting to accept it, for a lot of people it is genuinely a surprise, because nobody outside of the shareholders and sales autists are thinking about toy sales or how well does Sentai do compared to other franchises. For the vast majority of people, Sentai is iconic, and they mistake "iconic" for "sells like water". You can compare it to something like Meitantei Conan which has an undeniable cultural impact, has merch everywhere, is known by everyone, and is frequently parodied/referenced, and they would (rightfully) assume that is because the franchise is that huge and that popular, and that sales are fine.Hell, Sentai has more references than Rider and you are several times more likely to see a Sentai gag in a japanese work than a Rider one, and that does not correlate to sales. It's not weird at all for them to assume the thing they see the most also sold the most.
>>23600976>Literally Decade's faultGod fucking dammit.
>>23603428>Even the Japanese are annoyed.Are the Japanese finally read about the rebranding rumor? Days ago they really thought Sentai will straight up ends.
>>23603642The NHK Sentai vote show straight up having one of the MCs saying Rita's gender is undisclosed on live broadcast.
>>23603668I read that she's from Kikaider 01, haven't watch the show yet to confirm.
no trademark today...
>>23603873>tfw the trademark spiders are looking tirelessly for something with the word "Universe" in it
>>23603879Cranejoe posted a trademark with Sentai word but unrelated to Super Sentai and got flamed for it.
>>23603901DenjiGreen was my favorite
>>23603903and he still very much active as a voice actor now
>>23603871>Kikaider That was all I needed, anon. Found it, thank you! https://tokumon.tumblr.com/post/716675846169100288/pink-armadillo-is-a-destructoid-from-android(File is too big so all I can give is a link. Might as well, since its not super sentai content anyway)
>>23600976I know there's those anons that always bring up the fact the Timeranger toys sold so legendarily bad it almost killed the toyline whatsoever, but I had always thought it was an exageration. Holy shit, whatever the fuck happened to that toyline to do so bad, wtf?
So we all agree that Donbros/King was the actual grand finale of Super Sentai, right?
>>23600962>WOKEFLIX>Annoying candy ass $ō¥boy narration>All non American audio gets dubbed by leftist who totally ain't making shit up while the originals literally are only shown for fractions of seconds.I tried to watch that episode and I could not fucking stand it, it give me really bad Breadtube vibes, like literally made to make you dumber.
I mean bandai still wants to sell the shit, there's 2026 listings for retail candy toy.Question is, why not just follow the footsteps of Job Braver, Shinkalion and Wild King, they're the huge robot toy craze right now or Miniforce/metal cardbot
>>23603873weren't the last couple trademarks on Thursday for some reason
Why didn't she save Sentai?
New chinese listing>[Reservation Date: 04-Nov-25]>Bandai - 2026 Super Sentai>Combined Robot Set - Part 1>[Reservation Date: 04-Nov-25]>Bandai - 2026 Super Sentai>Combined Robot Part 1 (BOX OF 12)
>>23603315I wonder if he's confirmed for release they're gonna pack in Wolf Decalibur too.
>>23603992They would release Garyudos first than release Failbear
>>23603040Sounds about right, but if you consider Patren X to be separate from Lupin X, and add Gaisorg/ Hakaizer, and Garyudo you'd get 305.
Is the detective stuff confirmed to be real or fake?Makes me thing of Kuuga since it was a revival with some detective/police themes (among other stuff), but really I would expect it to be closer to W or something.
>>23603993I doubt they'll release Garyudo since he's a completely different mold. Ohkuwagata Ohger only got release because it's a repaint. Look at how we still don't have Don Dragoku, but even Murasame is still protoype/display
>>23604006Nothing's confirmed
>>23603938That's going to be the upcoming Gozyu vs movie. Uncertain yet if it'll be against Boonboom or Super SentaiI really wish it'll be as grand as 199 heroes, but then again we are dealing with V-Cinext budget
>>23604007>completely different moldIt's the Gozyu wolf suit with added parts
>>23604013>Gozyu vs movieI was talking about the spiritual finale, not the "last thing released".
>>23604006The thing is Zeztz, or even most of Rider since Kuuga, already using detective drama structure for most of their episodes so doing another detective-themed toku right after Rider feel redundant.
>>23603938>>23604020I think spiritual for you just means "the ones I like."
>>23604013>we are dealing with V-Cinext budgetWish they pulled a Mebius and went all out with Gozyuger if it's gonna be the last one for a while. Embarrassing how cheap and lame the 50th anniversary is compared to the 35th.
>>23603980no boobs
>>23603980I know gravure always try to not make the actresses to look like their characters, but this one legit looks like Sena herself doing gravure.
>>23604020And I meant that as well. The last Sentai team up will be spiritually the Sentai's finale of finale. Unless you have no idea what spiritually means>>23604028Difference is, Ultraman was Tsuburaya's actual bread and butter. Super Sentai is just pocket money
>>23603938Donbros would fucking suck as the grand finale.
>>23603948anon you’re in a general about Japanese kids show. You must be a fucking idiot if basic shit like that bothers you.
>>23604039nah that's King-Oh
>>23603938>>23604039>>23604047Boonboomger was the actual grand finale of Super Sentai.
>>23604047Weak bait.
>>23603960I have to believe everyone there who likes mecha toys was put on Gunpla because their Sentai toys are incredibly out of touch. It took a toy designer actually having a child and seeing him try to play with a Sentai brick for them to realize kids like it when their toys could move.
Yuzuki Hirakawa doing bikini gravure would have saved Sentai
>>23604050not even baiting if it's a fact
>>23603938No but honestly having two back to back fan favorites on your way out is a good way to goImagine if they had pulled the plug in the late 10s (though I guess the love Lupat gets there would have softened the blow too)
>>23602644Thank you anon
Very low chance, but if we can't have all Sentai, having everyone of the last five series together would be cool too as a movie.
https://x.com/tam2shino/status/1985549829276385397This is probably just talking about his idea, but why Tamotsu Shinohara's tweet here kinda sounds like that 2026 series rumor?
>>23604127Was one of the rumors that the next series would have multiple groups of heroes in the same world? Cause I haven't heard that.
>>23604133It's more about each heroes look really separate instead of a uniform look, Shinohara's idea sounds like somekind of Avengers.
>>23604135Ehh
Honestly? Kiramager would have been a fine end to sentai, it's not a grand finale., but it's such a good return to from that it would work by bringing it all the way around. It has the OG goranger colors, it follows the typical sentai formula but does it in an actually enjoyable way. it's full of hope and love in it's narrative and leaves with a nice message about how together we can grow even stronger than we ever imagined, how dreaming about something it's the first step to making it real It would have been a pretty cute note to end the series on
Now I'm wondering if Gozyuger will even bother doing a world reset at the end to bring back the past Sentai teams or if they won't bother and will leave that to any unplanned future crossover the weight of doing that.
>>23604028>Embarrassing how cheap and lame the 50th anniversary is compared to the 35th.It's the Shirakura style, he wouldn't have it any other way.
>>23604202Shirakura doesn't even give a shit, if he had it his way, zenkai would've been a metal heroes backdoor pilot. He's wanted senshi gone for a while now. He wants mecha to be the all in one.guessing without some restraint Zenkaizer would've just been super zenkaizer from the start.
>>23604213>Shirakura doesn't even give a shitExactly, that's why his anniversaries are cheap and lame, and he tells the newbie producers he mentors to not give a fuck either.
May aswell just give rider mecha again.
>>23604127I thought he's not working on 2026 series because him using AI?
AkaRed appearing on Gozyuger?
>>23604267We sure are getting a deluge of rumors the past couple days or so
>>23604267I’d assume they pull all the suits at the end
>made it easy to crop the whore>didn’t do itI guess this is also the last time we will see the hyper girl MC at Toei eventshttps://www.instagram.com/p/DQjPtiyAeuA/
>>23604267is he going to seduce Sumino
>>23604308grandpa got cancelled...

>>23602071>I loved these suits, and I have no idea why so many people hated them in the first place, the primary color is the focus again, and I like the shields which remind me of the green ranger.>Yes, the Kyuranger suits were awesome, but this is new and origina, I have no interest in the Sentai, Power Rangers should stand on its own.https://youtu.be/OxyLtZivMYA?si=ft2WHHb5DRADG5AKhttps://youtu.be/iazL_s10ims?si=c5MUF7BE0ISdxaBx (25:51)
>>23602214But 60s and 70s Dubbed Toku and even the Dynaman gagdub has horrible Titra/Titan Peter Fernandez racist faux asian accents dub styles.Tsuburaya tried to make non japanese Ultraman twice and they failed for some reason, Great (Towards the Future) and Powered (The Ultimate Hero)
>>23602237So........they are finally dubbing the "Sentai"?
>>23604075Damn ninninger did kill Sentai after all
>>23603016>>23603026Don't you mean fucking TATSUNOKO?
>>23603903No he wasn't.
>>23602966I fucking hate Gozyuger.
>>23604501Nope. Tatsunoko did the animation, Big Wet was the financial backer (and the ones that nearly went belly up because of production missmanagement) and Studio Nue created the concept and produced the show.
