How's your mood for next year at the moment?
Those marking style...
>>23637012Akibaranger should finally get its anniversary special now that Sentai is over. A nice little special about them sperging out. What's Malshina's actress look like nowadays?
>>23637024>What's Malshina's actress look like nowadays?
They should make an Akibaranger S3 where Nobuo reacts to the cancellation of the Sentai series, and also as a true tribute after the Gozyuger fiasco.
>>23637170Sento was never quite the same after Banjo left him.
Thinking about it, I think it would be kind of obscure if they made a new season of Akibaranger in that setting.Look, I don't see any coherent scenario besides Nobuo committing suicide in Aokigahra after the end of Sentai...
>>23637002so they just smooshed together super sentai with mh? welp guess i was wrong, it's just a weaksauce rebrand after all like the copers were claiming.
>>23637002i cant belive that the worst case senario i was wondering happenedthey really went "so people overseas already ike galvan and kamen riderrs, ss oles fuse them and makke kamen rider 2....senai? peope confuse it witth those hamburgers series we sold to saban so its better leave them alone anyways"those dudes dont know anythiing about marke saturatioon, senai and rider had a good combination beacuse rrider was a individual fighing his fight alone while sentai was a bunch of peope getting together to fight a common enimy or seek a specific objectivehonestly, i blame go-busters being underwearning and kyoriuger being so succesful that they tried to replicate it over and over and overr instead of go back to something more seriously and less appeled on goofynessi hope sentai comes back soon, as return of the series by toei or some indie trying tto keep the flame alive
Please don't pick a factory made bubbly twink to play Gavan
>>23637170She still looks good. I'd need to see her rack to verify, but you could dress her up in that slutty leather without issue.
>>23637323You want this shit to sell or not?
>>23637334they can make one of the other heroes a baby twink
>>23637323>Please don't pick a factory made bubbly twink to play Gavanthey will, its clearly aimed to west and they will pick a idol type>>23637170>>23637012lowkey i wanted a TTFC crossover with her and kegaashia and maybe some other sey sentai vilans of 2000s and 1990s trying to save the universe from some purittan/boring kawaii villan, maybe some shittty precure-like mascotit would be fun comedy and gooner shitpossing for 60-90mins
>>23637312>those dudes dont know anythiing about marke saturatioon, senai and rider had a good combination beacuse rrider was a individual fighing his fight alone while sentai was a bunch of peope getting together to fight a common enimy or seek a specific objectiveIt's not a good combination when Sentai is just doing 5-6 times worse than Rider with few signs of recovery (including the international numbers, closer to 4 Japan-only). Sentai doesn't look 4 times cheaper than Rider either so behind the scenes the costs probably just weren't justifying things.Also, it's not a matter of "confusing" Sentai with Powers Rangers. They can't even export Sentai worldwide outside of the Far East due to the Power Rangers contracts. Previously they at least made free licensing money out of Power Rangers, but now there isn't even a show on air for years so Toei is basically seeing no revenue from that.
>>23637323>>23637334>>23637335>>23637341How about Date-kun tier to play Neo Gavan?
>>23637011I'm liking Zeztz so far and I find it really difficult for the show to fuck up in the future given the interviews, leaks and the story progression at the momentGavan looks cool and I like the prospect of combining Super Sentai and Metal Hero into a single more experimental franchise, but calling this first entry Gavan feels retardedly confusing to me when Sharivan exist and this is basically the equivalent of calling the first season on what's essentially a new entry on a dormant franchise with elements of a franchise that's about to become dormant "Kuuga 2/Goranger 2"
Also, how possible for a "newer" new Gavan movie to feature OG and New Gavan to give us picreal
>>23637363Three era's of Gavian, Showa, Heisei, and now Reiwa would be absolute cinema
>>23637363>>23637364not likely, Kenji Ohba has been ill for quite some time
>>23637312Why do you type like an absolute retard with no grasp on the english language nor the access to a proper english translator?Your statement comes off as an outside view from someone who hasn't watched a mainline Kamen Rider and Super Sentai season for at least 20 years nor has watched any Metal Heroes searching for excuses to get mad but I don't know if that's your legitimate intention because of how incomprehensible your writing is.
>>23637365Maybe he'll recover and make this his final acting role if given the offer.
>>23637323They comfirmed that the lead actor is at most in his mid-20s on a newspaper however there has been some rumors floating around about said lead actor being a previous Sentai Red, so maybe this new Gavan will be played by Momoi's or Gira's actors for example
>>23637376i'm gonna laugh if it's momoi. DonBro's cast is just destined to take over other hero roles
>>23637373He was just let out from the hospital, at most he'll get a voice acting role, but he'll definitely would want to come back if it weren't for his health, the guy loves toku and has a tight relationship with Toei, including the two bosses who oversee every toku Shirakura and Tsukada plus the previous Toei president who's currently an advisor Hikasa, despite none of the 3 producers working on the 3 Toei Toku he acted as part of the main cast. But Heisei Gavan could come back no problem.
>>23637363The official press release outright says this is a fully new worldview for Gavan. I wouldn't doubt crossovers eventually happening, but for now they only talked about crossovers with future Project RED shows.
>>23637344sentai is basically japan and korea only, other asia countries only show kamen rider as far i know>>23637344>They can't even export Sentai worldwide outside of the Far East due to the Power Rangers contractsthey can, in fact they exported some old series via dvdproblem is that they need hasbro allowance to do it, and clearly hasbro would ask 10%+ of profits or say no to the project altogether
>>23637011Boukenger and Kabuto are getting anniversary movies and in Kabuto's case it shouldn't be hard at all to get its original head writer Yonemura shouldn't be hard to get back at all and said movie is already comfirmed to have a competent directorFor Boukenger I'm scared about it being unable to get its original staff but I want to be hopeful because Hikasa came back to produce Blade's anniversary stage show and Aikawa came back to write Go-Onger's 10th anniversary movie but at the same time he didn't come back to write Blade's 20th anniversary stage show so I'm still scared
>>23637370my keyboard that is fuckedand i had been following sentai, rider and precure for 10-15 years, since gokaiger went to air during power rangers hiatusprecure will be ok beacuse its animerider its ok eacuse they can export it overseas and people ovesseas aleady like it, specially on sEA and latin americaits sentai that on a poor situation exactly beacuse they can only sell to korea and japan basically
>>23637024We should get another special when KR ends
>>23637358Super Sentai needs to die completely
>>23637213Press S to spit at Sentai's cancellation
>>23637415Meant for>>23637191
>>23637011Zeztz's needs to be the end
>>23637400OK then but to answer>i blame go-busters being underwearning and kyoriuger being so succesful that they tried to replicate it over and over and overr instead of go back to something more seriously and less appeled on goofynessNeither of those two shows affected the current situation of Sentai aside from Kyuranger and Ryusoulger, where Kyuranger ended up being not serialized because of Go-Busters' failure and Ryusoulger being so unoriginal because of Kyoryuger's and Gingaman's successes.The main cause of Sentai's decline are the result of the failure that was Ninninger where the producer gave a lot of freedom to an inept writer then said producer made a bunch of bizarre decisions resulting in a mediocre show. Its failure got elevated due to happening the same year as Yokai Watch's boom, a franchise that became so popular that Kamen Rider and Pokémon earned considerably less, Ninninger being the show before Sentai's anniversary increasing expectations for Zyuohger and Takara Tommy's kodomo mecha IPs having mecha toys with far more playability than Sentai's. All of this led to people losing interest in Sentai's toys and Toei fearing another Ninninger to repeat causing a considerable portion of Toei staffers wanting to do shows with safe tactics resulting a lot of creative differences from Zyuohger to Ryusoulger. Once staffers finally had a good idea on what to do in Kiramager Toei had to reduce their yearly spent budget due to Sentai's repeated failures and sponsors expecting the franchise to die in its 45th anniversary resulting on ex-Toei president Shirakura claiming to have a "5-year plan" extending the franchise's life up to Gozyuger. But because sales didn't improve aside for Donbrothers ultimately the franchise had to still get canceled.The there'd what you already said with Saban not allowing them to export Sentai outside of Asia nor do multi-media projects if they released on western platforms which is another factor to its cancelation.
>>23637411>>23637415>>23637421Why?
>>23637423It should have been cancelled after Gokaiger. This was a long time coming and I couldn't be happier.
>>23637426Why do you act as if this franchise raped your daughter? It's just a japanese kids show that has no impact on your life or entertainmentFeels like an overreaction to throw such a hissy fit
>>23637425Mad Metal Heroes fag thinking Space Sheriff is going to revive the franchise when it was only ever Space Sheriff that gets a push.
>only red rangers are popular>let's just ditch everyone elseToei, I kneel.
>>23637429>It's just a japanese kids show that has no impact on your life or entertainmentAnd now it's dead
>>23637002Plot details:>>23636895>>23636903Additional info from leaks:>>23636464Also unrelated to this but an indie studio is working with Masaru Yamashita (the actor of Knight Fire from Winspector) and Koichi Nakayama (actor of SolBraver from Solbrain) on a spiritual successor for Winspector called Mobile Knight Police, it seems like it will have a considerable backing because it's being promoted on Uchuusen and them being able to get two prolific actors who have ties to Toei directors meaning that they could get a notable director to work on this
>>23637432He comes off as a shartyfag that has never touched toku in his life, I don't think he likes Metal Heroes he just enjoys derailing conversations. >>23637433If the leaks are true this Red Gavan will be the leader of a blue hero and yellow hero, in other words Project Red is a fusion of Metal Heroes and Super Sentai so really not much has changed.

>>23637423>The main cause of Sentai's decline are the result of the failure that was Ninningerninninger happened beacuse Kyoryuger worked, it happened 2 years after Kyoryuger, also in the last 15 years, outside of gokaiger, it was the most succesfulll series by far, the series became big even in korea, where they decided make a sequel series and the ending theme became literal baseball chant in the local league>>23637423>because sales didn't improve aside for Donbrothersking-oh had some success as well, but it was a big buget series, they used a bunch of new tech that was never used before in sentai, it couldnt be done again if the plan was keep the series only to japan/korea>>23637440why you hate it tho?>>23637449so toei will go full marvel/dc and put everything that isnt kamen rider into a single universe?
>>23637449>Winspector called Mobile Knight Police, it seems like it will have a considerable backing because it's being promoted on Uchuusen and them being able to get two prolific actors who have ties to Toei directors meaning that they could get a notable director to work on thisthey can really make it a success if they capialize on the lack of sentai next year
Some are expecting the other half of the suit will be blue in color.And according to press release this hero will cross dimensions to appear in other heroes' worlds.
>>23637458Wouldn't surprised me if KR got pulled in as well
>>23637460They already have both rolled up into one now
>>23637386considering his health if he eventually make appearance he most likely being shown as mentor character
and somehow the timing is just righta detective that knows how to fight with special powers...
>>23637429>>23637452>>23637458Sentai fans have become the new Snyder cultists and have been shitting on Metal Heroes since the news broke out. Now that the superior series is back, they have nothing but cope now.
>gavan>the silver guy>sharivan>the red guywhat are we doing here?
>>23637469Sentai 'failing' is a clear fact at this point, but that doesn't mean Metal Heroes (a series they already failed to revive 10+ years ago) is the answer.
>>23637458>ninninger happened beacuse Kyoryuger workedThey don't correlate to each other, Ninninger happened because its producer Takebe is notorious for not giving a fuck, which resulted in her getting demoted until she managed to earn her position back once she helped with Zi-O. Like Ninninger's producer is the same producer as Go-Busters, she's simply really inconsistent.>it was the most succesfulll series by farKyoryuger is the most financially successful Super Sentai ever made but I don't see how that affected Ninninger in any way. Its writer Shimoyama got picked because he was recommend by Go-Busters/Shinkenger's writer, Shimoyama had the stupid idea of wanting to do a show about "Ninjas that don't feel like ninjas" which backfired, Takebe wanted the mecha to be a fusion of different Sentai themes to celebrate the anniversary but it resulted in an uneven mecha with stability issues which sold poorly and Takebe decided for the gimmick to be spinning Shurikens and the Ninninger to fight Yokai which overlapped with Yokai Watch that year, the toy manufacturers Bandai even advised against it due to the overlap but she decided to go through it anyway.>king-oh had some success as wellKiramager to Boonboomger were critical successes and King-Ohger was really popular with adults which is why they did a bunch of merch and events which were successful plus King-Ohger ended up getting nominated for awards which is rarity for toku. But the show still saw decrease in sales and was dubbed as a commercial failure because of QA issues with Bandai that year hampering its sales. With Ninninger to Gozyuger selling poorly Sentai isn't seen as a profitable franchise anymore which is why we're getting this hybrid between Sentai and Metal Heroes>so toei will go full marvel/dc and put everything that isnt kamen rider into a single universeSeems so>why you hateHe's a shitposter who hates everything that comes from Japan and creates imaginary rivalries
>>23637471My first thought too, but I guess Gavan is the biggest MH name, and the new audience they're targeting probably won't care he's not just silver.
>>23637462unless they make a super hero taisen series tha is a 50mins each episode, i dont see how they will make it>>23637463in movies and specials yes, but not in series>>23637469i mean i wwould be made too if a series i like suddenly got replaced by kamen rider in spacethere not many team-based heroes like senai, i has powwe rrangers but hasbro has done a shit job with series and most of american heroes suck assi kinda feel even more that takara tomy never tried harder with tokusasu with rescue force/ryukendo series
>>23637476First of all don't engage with that anon, he's a shitposterSecond of all Toei has a soft spot for Sentai, Metal Heroes and Ninja Arashi and wants to keep making them, so they essentially want to create a fusion of Toei toku to also circumvent not being able to bring Sentai to the westThe problem with this is calling it Gavan instead of "Space Sheriff [X]" >>23637462That would make no sense because the whole point is to air Precure, Kamen Rider and Project Red in succession on TV Asahi as part of a block There's no other franchise to assimilate Kamen Rider and so far Kamen Rider has been a constant financial success ever since Den-O, even when a show fails to meet sales expectations
>>23637469>Sentai fans have become the new Snyder cultists and have been shitting on Metal Heroes since the news broke out. Now that the superior series is back, they have nothing but cope now.You sure you're not confusing them with Power Rangers fags larping as Sentai fans?
>>23637461>Some are expecting the other half of the suit will be blue in colorWhere are they getting blue from?
>>23637489PR as fandom is even deader than Sentai
>>23637476>(a series they already failed to revive 10+ years ago)I mean, that was bringing back old suits and characters in a movie, not a true tv revival like Kuuga for Rider or Tiga/Ginga for Ultraman. This is clearly attempting to be the later, which is why Gavan Infinity is a completely new suit.
based on what i'm reading everywhere, this project red won't have a single female main cast member beyond a disembodied computer voice
>>23637458>so toei will go full marvel/dc and put everything that isnt kamen rider into a single universe?The official announcement for Project RED does say they plan to crossover the future series part of this project to expand their world, although so far nothing suggest past shows will be involved.They outright say it's a completely new worldview separate from the original Gavan.
>>23637480>there not many team-based heroes like senaiAccording to a reliable leaker, this Gavan will have his own team. The reason this is being called Project R.E.D rather than the already existing IP Metal Heroes is not only because both Super Sentai and Metal Heroes belong to this moniker now but because this is also being marketed as a start of a new franchise that combines elements of both. So team toku aren't really going away, I just wish they didn't choose to use Gavan as a name and instead just created a 4th Space Sheriff armor. Either way read the leak >>23636464>>23637461This is called Project R.E.D and if the leaks end up being true there should be a blue Space Sheriff in the show so I really doubt this red Gavan will have noticeable blue elements.
the arm piece is the same so whatever this leak was is probably right
>>23637458Sentai's toys have sucked for 15 years. That's a big factor. They all look too much like toys instead of cool gadgets and weapons. Not to mention that they never really innovated with their mecha. Just the same big, unposeable bricks since the 80s.
According to the official account more info is coming out on the 30th of this momth: https://x.com/ProjectRED_Toei/status/1992760202744267210
>>23637452>If the leaks are true this Red Gavan will be the leader of a blue hero and yellow hero, in other words Project Red is a fusion of Metal Heroes and Super Sentai so really not much has changed.They should call blue hero Sharivan and yellow hero Shaider just for shits and giggles.
>>23637501It's not a leak, it's just a completely separate project.https://x.com/sonoko_uchusen/status/1990548001022951651I don't see how you think the silhouette is similar. That's clearly a much larger shoulder pad.
>>23637501Except it isn't the same and your image wasn't a leak but an officially revealed toku that isn't even made by Toei but Toei associatesMKP and Gavan Infinity are two different projects, Gavan is getting more info on November 30th and MKP on December 27th
>>23637478>she's simply really inconsistent.it explains why zi-o was so inconsistent >>23637478>But the show still saw decrease in sales and was dubbed as a commercial failure because of QA issues with Bandai that year hampering its salesadd the high production costs and you will see wha i meant, if wass a ssimpiier series producionwisde i hink it would make a profi even wiih the broken toys>>23637478>He's a shitposter who hates everything that comes from Japan and creates imaginary rivalriesdoing it on m and in 4chan of all places is def a choice..>>23637478>Seems soit has the potenial of being really grea or being a shitpost akin to saban masked rider>>23637500i hope its true, i will keep hopes down until first trailelralso does it make sha magic team rumor fake or is something new planned ha soomehwo was mied with it?
>>23637516>i hope its true, i will keep hopes down until first trailelrIt killed Sentai so I'm already optimistic
>>23637382>>23637376Come on, Momoi.
>>23637502the last sentai items i wanted to buy was gokaiger-gobusters and the kyoriuger guneven bombom having cars as part of the seires, i hasn motivaed me muc ,,and i am eprsn tha like scar and racing a lot
>>23637449>>23637456>>23637457>>23637504That god the leak of this being some Magical show that has nothing to do with Metal Heroes. Now all that's left is to see the full reveal drop.
>>23637516>it explains why zi-o was so inconsistentShe wasn't the chief producer of Zi-O, I meant that her work as an assistant on Zi-O was the reason she got promoted back and is doing shows again, she's the producer of Geats and Gavv. Although yeah she's part of the reason Zi-O was inconsistent.>add the high production costs and you will see wha i meant, if wass a ssimpiier series producionwisde i hink it would make a profi even wiih the broken toysTo understand what I mean, both Kamen Rider and Super Sentai are usually expected to earn 8 billion yen and Super Sentai has been consistently earning less than 8 since LuPat, so even without the higher cost it would have been a failure, Donbrothers was also a failure but it at least gave hope for the future because it increased sales and it was a massive critical success but King-Ohger's QA issues resulted on sales declining again sadly despite it being a good show, it didn't help that the show wasn't that popular with kids either because of how little they used their mecha in the second half. Also while King-Ohger definitely had a higher cost it might have not been as big as you think, these shows are usually made pretty fast back to back but King-Ohger had a longer pre-production because its producer started making it in secret before it got greenlit which is unusual for these shows.>>23637508It's bad that I can actually see them doing that.>>23637504They'll probably release a teaser showing the whole suit, kinda like that Gozyuger teaser that showed GozyuWolf's suit glowing with the Sentai 50th anniversary logo reveal or that Zeztz teaser with AI backgrounds that revealed his suit.
Random remarks and answers by the usual leaker:>Q: Speaking of which, can it be called left-brain right-brain collaboration? Kamen Rider and Super Sentai hardly crossover anymore. Even the winter theater versions with crossovers inside the Kamen Rider series were canceled. But this new project suddenly has several series strongly collaborating on such a large scale. So is Kamen Rider purely playing by itself now?Leaker: It depends on the future plans for this series. According to official statements, the Red series and the Super Sentai are treated separately; neither contains the other. Whether Sentai participates in this series is uncertain. Especially since Super Sentai supports half of Toei's tokusatsu presence, their participation is significant. The "Super" in this super-dimensional hero concept could refer only to the new heroes within the series itself or might include Sentai as well. We really have to wait for future plans.L: If this series is targeting Toei's Metal Heroes or even some reboots of older tokusatsu, then it's reasonable not to include Sentai for now. Toei's old tokusatsu properties are still quite vast.L: Also, since this series follows Sentai, it inherits Sentai’s characteristics, but its features are still "separated" from Sentai, making it somewhat like a new series derived from Sentai.>Q: Internal crossovers within the series probably still exist, it's just that last year Gavv's filming schedule was adjusted, so there was none that year. To know if it was truly canceled, we need to see if there will be any crossover between Zeztz and Gavv this year.L: There definitely won't be a Zeztz and Gavv crossover this year. It's already November, and with the New Year coming soon, if there were plans for it, there would have been an official announcement by September. The main focus now is the 55th anniversary of Sentai next year, and many movie projects have been postponed to the anniversary next year.(1/2)
>>23637581>Q: Honestly, I'm really afraid that Kamen Rider might suddenly stop airing and just get merged into this series. If that happens, I wouldn't even know how to watch it anymore!>L: As of now, that won't happen. First, Super Sentai is doing well in ratings and has high creative freedom. Second, Super Sentai is currently in a stage of global expansion. Third, Toei needs an independent single-hero IP to compete with Tsuburaya's Ultraman. Super Sentai is currently focusing on strengthening its IP's global influence.>Q: Isn't this just making the main character always the red one again?L: Yes, the central position (C position) is definitely red.>Q: "Within the Super Sentai framework" but "completely different from Super Sentai" —isn't that contradictory?L: Not really. It's derived from Sentai but different from Sentai.>Q: What I don't understand at all is why they keep limiting the main character to red. Why not use this opportunity to break that tradition? Doesn't that restrict the main hero's design?L: Because it's taking over Sentai's timeslot, they probably want to maintain the existing audience and don't want too abrupt or drastic a break. So they keep Sentai's characteristics directly.(2/2)
>>23637585>Q: Sharing the same world view like Ultraman?L: L: Yes.(3/3) (Didn't see this post of him initially because it was on another thread sorry)
>>23637581>>23637585So close to Total Toei Death
>>23637598>t. didn't bother reading any of the 3 posts
>>23637598>my favorite series over>the whole company must be death
>>23637624To be fair, that’s what I would say if Hasbro ever cancelled Transformers.
>>23637594Isn't the announcement literally saying that and making this Project R.E.D ala marvel cinematic universe ?
>>23637497I find that hard to believe. Even Space Sheriff's had a prominant girl even if she didn't transform. Every Metal Hero did
>>23637594>>23637635Yeah, the official announcement itself says the series under the Project Red will crossover with each other to expand their worldviews.It's involving any past show that is in question. The official announcement itself claims this is a completely separate worldview from the original Gavan.
>>23637542>hurricanger is only beat by 1 year>it had 2 sentai shows that yearBased Hurricanger.
>>23637002>>23637011>>23637457>>23637504What are the odds that Toei announces Gavan Infinity will get a live sub on the same day like Kamen Rider Zeztz from TokuSHOUT?
>>2363767580%
>>23637675Is there even a company that has the resources? There's no way that Shout has the staff. Crunchyroll could, but it's outside of their scope. None of the other companies that release toku have the staff.
>>23637674To be fair, during the Hurricanger year they were also re-releasing the Power Animals and advertising compatibility between the Hurricanger Mecha and them. Although it's hard to say how well that worked since I don't think they ever did it again before these last few series with the Universe Robo line.
>>23637677>>23637682It might be a little easier since they no longer have to deal with Saban trying to get a cut with any kind of PR licensing.
>>23637675Hopefully never
>>23637701Hasbro has been worse about this than Saban ever was.
>>23637480>and most of american heroes suck assStill better than Sentai
>Toei wants to diversify and sell toku to global audiencesIt's going to be full of trannies and niggers, isn't it?There hasn't been a bigger indicative that AI is our savior.Fromsoftware can't get away with this.Hire fans nowMake Tokusatsu great again
Japs are calling for him to be named Sharivan lol
>>23637718>trannies and niggersThe main focus is still japanese children, only the first entries to be localized like Zeztz that appeals to the west and Gavan that appeals to China have a bigger focus on appealing outside of Japan, other seasons won't be like that>There hasn't been a bigger indicative that AI is our saviorHow in the goddamn does AI help toku, or anything for that matter? It only helps making more advanced video games (which most video games in the market atm don't use that technology) and translations (most of them still being bad because the official people being in charge to oversee said AI translations are still the usual tranny subbers), ultimately AI is irrelevant to toku>Fromsoftware can't get away with thisWhat in the ever living goddamn does FromSoftware has to do with tokusatsu or globalization>Hire fans nowIf you've bothered reading the thread you'd know there's an indie toku also inspired by Metal Heroes in development>Make Tokusatsu great againYour post is unhinged and comes off as either a bot, an indian from /v/ without any knowledge about what tokusatsu is or a twitterfag that pretends that Rita is a trannyEither way none of what you said is relevant to the thread
>>23637755It was obvious bait, anon. There's no need to bite into it and give him a (you)
>>23637011I feel like I will like both shows (I'm really enjoying Zeztz atm) but it feels alienating to have 2 toku with emphasis on globalization releasing simultaneously, like I feel we should have gotten the 50th anniversary Sentai then Gavan Infinity to avoid overlap, at least the next Rider show should be back to normal
>>23637740Even they think this is bullshit
>>23637718Why do I have a feeling this is an AI bot?
>>23637779Because the random ass FromSoftware mentionIt's either a bot or a schizo, but the post is so unnatural it's almost certainly a bot
>>23637766Gavan Infinity isn't focused on globalization, it's focused on saving the sales of what was previously known as Sentai.
>>23637755>Rita is a trannyUnfortunately, she is.
>>23637787Didn't a leaker say that the show's esthetics are reminiscent of korean and chinese heroes or did I get things mixed up?
>>23637787And it will fail
>>23637585>Not really. It's derived from Sentai but different from Sentai.It is kinda interesting how in essence it basically is still kinda Sentai with the three color team and robots.
>>23637820What did Japan do to you to hate the country so much that you have to waste multiple hours on 4chan bitching about it? Why can't you find better uses for your time? Unless you're getting paid to do this it really doesn't make sense to invest this much time bitching like this
Leaked art of the full suit
>>23637452>this Red Gavan will be the leader of a blue hero and yellow hero>like SentaiMetal Hero has teams too though
>>23637820Obviously.
>>23637864>Metal Hero has teams too thoughYeah but they don't follow a strict color code, this new franchise's name and the leaks imply that from now one Gavan will follow the Super Sentai rule of having a red protagonist and a blue team member
>>23637816Does anyone have that Gozyuger poster drawn by Obari? It was the raddest shit
>more tokuWe need TakaraTomy to revive Rescue Heroes. Ryukendo is fine too.
>>23637874
>>23637879This would be a better revival idea
>>23637879Can we get Toho to revive Chouseishin Series while we are at it?
>>23637002>fingers don't have platesThe upgrade better give him a lot more armor
>>23637925Much better idea
If they wanted a Sentai like feel while not being Sentai they could have revived B-Fighter Kabuto instead.
>>23637883Thanks a lot>>23637925I was surprised that they didn't announce an anniversary project on its big anniversary exhibition where they got old actors back for it
>>23637958You're welco/m/e.
>>23637873I didn't think it's from now on, it's just for this series so that way it can be an easy transition for viewers. Once they see his Gavan Infinity turns out, they can tweak the formula and start experimenting.
>>23637966That's why I said>new franchise's nameI hope you're right but the franchise is literally called Project R.E.D
>>23637847Ihadulca
>>23637846>His hero Toei was insulted

>>23638022Will always mog Super Shitai
>>23638019It is
>>23637879They make more money with job braver so good luck with that
>>23638089It isn't. Not Sentai in name, not even a team in spandex from the start. If Gavan Infinity has an actual humanoid mecha he would be a Juspion clone.
>>23638099>Not Sentai in name, not even a team in spandex from the start.That's why it's called a rebranding.
>>23638169What's the Toei movie poster guy saying about the Akage reboot and Ninja Red? I can't into nipponnese
>>23638171
>>23638174Thank youIn this case I assume it isn't since Akage is specifically done by staff from Toei's drama division rather than the toku division, so it's probably just a funny coincidence
>>23637585>Q: Honestly, I'm really afraid that Kamen Rider might suddenly stop airing and just get merged into this series. If that happens, I wouldn't even know how to watch it anymore!>L: As of now, that won't happen. First, Super Sentai is doing well in ratings and has high creative freedom. Second, Super Sentai is currently in a stage of global expansion. Third, Toei needs an independent single-hero IP to compete with Tsuburaya's Ultraman. Super Sentai is currently focusing on strengthening its IP's global influence.He did he mean Kamen Rider?
>>23638198I assume so because otherwise that answer doesn't make sense, it could also be that the anon who translated this did so poorly
>>23637002>red but arm is silverImagine if the other side is blue and they were hiding it.
We're living in the golden era now.Sentai being removed was long overdue, now we can enjoy the KINO duo of KR and Metal Hero.
>>23637489Yea I would prefer PRfags being Snyder Cult 2.0
>>23637585Is Ultraman really seen as such a big threat to them? I thought it was just barely getting by. Outside of them somehow managing to pull off a first party competitive card game, they don't really seem to be doing anything crazy.
>>23637002Post some old heads you want back in Project R.E.D.
>>23637458>everything that isnt kamen rider into a single universe?It pretty much already was Sakamoto-san.
>>23638256Damn, we are getting super sheriff universe Gavan hero: Build
>>23638324Ultraman in China is bigger than Rider in China (and Sentai is just irrelevant in comparison).
>>23638324Ultraman has a bigger global presence due to having no similarities with Power Rangers so a situation like Dragon Knight and Ryukendo where people in the states dismiss it as a Power Rangers copycat doesn't happen, on top of that they've been releasing official subs on one of the most profilic western distributors for anime that they're basically the third most recognizable tokusatsu in the US.Also Ultraman sells better than Sentai, while their numbers are nowhere near close to Kamen Rider, and their shows don't trend like Kamen Rider and Sentai due to most of their recent output being just "fine" and their sales have been on a decline which tbf Gavv and Sentai have sold less than expected too, they're seen as legitimate competition for Toei.But in the end Bandai doesn't care since they're getting money regardless, Ryukendo is in a state of dormancy and Kadokawa who's one of the companies with enough money to create a competitor completely gave up after the year they made their last toku Daimajin Kanon ended up being one of their least profitable years in their company history.
Hey, I can finally catch up with my backlog of Super Sentai.
If Project RED is anything like Super Sentai the concept likely carried over is the giant robo.Early Metal Heroes had battleships that can transform. I can see a robo like Dekabase Robo type be the main mecha.Gavan had Dol Giran a dragon ship that is used against fleets.
>>23638386
>>23637002I wonder how they'll design the Laser Blade since Space Sheriff's Laser Blades tend to be rather simplistic. I don't want it to be too bulky or blatantly toyetic. Maybe something like Raising Sword
>>23637468too based, they'll never go for it
Tsubaraya needs to revive Redman to cash in on this>>23638549Think the Zubat cameo was supposed to be a test to see if he was popular enough to be revived
May I become a Project Red protagonist? I'm red too and focus on the subject of AI and robots.
>>23638652Nope, because you're Ishinomori owned. Now, Metalder can come along.
>>23638655I don't see how that really matter when Ishinomori's and Yokoyama's names are basically free marketing, several of Bandai's best selling IPs including Rider have shared rights and they've been wholly beneficial to Bandai and IshinomoriPro seems pretty chill with licensing to Toei.Hell Kikaider has gotten multiple attempts at revivals and references so it should actually be likelier than Metalder, but with the ways things are going I honestly wouldn't be surprised if they made an entry that somehow combines Metalder, Kikaider and Super Sentai into one chimera, like it really seems like anything goes for Project R.E.D at the moment.
>>23638399Ultraman has been in China since Tiga took off there in the 90s.In contrast, the Rider show that only took off in China was recently with Saber.There's no comparison between the Ultra series in China and Kamen Rider, which has been a Johnny Comelately in China.
>>23638447Don't try, please
>>23638272It's not kino or a golden era until KR is removed. Sentai should have died in the 90s with Rider.>>23638317You're not much better.
>>23638692>Sentai should have died in the 90s with RiderWhy?
>>23637323how will the younger generations relate then? gotta have some young fag as the actor.
>>23638468>If Project RED is anything like Super Sentai the concept likely carried over is the giant robo.I hope that's the case since Giant Robos are the bread and butter of SHT>Early Metal Heroes had battleships that can transform. I can see a robo like Dekabase Robo type be the main mecha.>Gavan had Dol Giran a dragon ship that is used against fleets.Don't forget B-Fighter Kabuto straight up had Giant Robo that can turn into a tank.
>>23638686>the Rider show that only took off in China was recently with Saber.Ex-Aid is even more beloved than Saber over there, Build is beloved as well. Geats, Gotchard and Gavv might not have as good of a critical reception but they have their fair share of fans. And Zero-One might be panned but the toys sold well regardless.

Ok so I'm confused a bit. Are Project Red and Gavan Infinity two seperate things?
>>23638755Project RED is the name for a shared universe for the Sentai replacement series. It's built around being a shared universe apparently.Gavan Infinity is the first installment
>>23637349Wait, isn’t that Nozama from Forze?
>>23637847DANZAI BURST!>>23637323>>23637376I disregard baseless rumors and nominate the guy who played Hachi Ohger. That guy was fukken huge for japanese man and best part of the show.

>>23639215That was mentioned by J-Hero whose leaks are usually 50/50, reliable leakers like color and SwagFive haven't mentioned or acknowledged if the whole magic angle is real
>>23639235Yeah but they deny the card rumor and yet the picture suggests some sort of a card holder on his belt or card reader on his hand.
>>23637011Zeztz is pretty stylish and fun, but the story and characters are nothing special. Gavan is seemingly a new cool thing, so I'm intrigued by what happens. Whether it's good or bad, it's something new, so it's worth a shot.
>>23637793Not according to the writer.
>>23638833>Wait, isn’t that Nozama from Forze?No, different girl, she was also in the Gavan vs Deka prologue, Girls in Trouble: Space Squad Episode Zero
>>23638940Hoenstly it's why I like Raising Sword so much. It looks sleek. Most of their swords tend to look really wide, even the Seikens.
>>23638871I got a feeling the boots will be silver, since it may help him look like a Sentai ranger.>>23637323Careful, the monkey paw would be they cast King-Ohger's Prince because he does his stunts.
Now you remember VR Troopers
I think my only real gripe with the focus on just reds for Project R.E.D. if they really do crossovers with past Sentai titles like what's being alleged is for some seasons, the red is genuinely not the guy people want back. No one really cares about DynaRed but DynaBlack was quite popular. Red Hawk is okay but Black Condor defined the Jetman. MagiRed is fun but he's very heavily outshone by MagiYellow and MagiGreen at times. NinjaRed is okay but NinjaWhite actually ran the team. Battle Japan was the leader but it's Battle Kenya who people talk about and had an actor who helped define a lot of Toei toku. Red Falcon is okay but Black Bison and Green Sai paved the way for additional members in Sentai. They're all not getting their fair shake in a red-focused concept.At least Timeranger lucks out because the guy who outshines TimeRed is also a red.
>>23639407Hell what makes Gokaiger's tributes great is that the returning Legends are not just red. Frankly it's why Gozyuger felt a bit empty for me because only the reds get representations.
>>23639394That shit was much better than it had any right to be and honestly still kinda holds up for what it is
>>23639407I figure they'll prioritize reds but get who they can like usual.
>>23639413Yeah but Gozyuger it's not actually them anyway. If you're gonna have a new actor anyway might as well use the leads.
>>23639407The focus on reds just means the new lead heroes will always be Red. It doesn't mean every freaking hero appearing in the show will be red.
>>23638547we already killed them in Fourze

>>23639211>yoooOOOOOOOOOOOO
>*Secretly leading Project RED on your path*
>>23639718Oi is that Sentai? Then through the laws of bullshittery it's mine.SABAN PRESENTS: VR TROOPERS INFINITY
>>23639759You're not trying to devalue Toei enough to buy them out through brand poaching, are you
There's only one way to save Sentai: Call Inoue and let him write Jetman 2.But nowadays TOEI and Shirakura are too cowardly for that, so just let Sentai die already...What a disgrace... ONORE SHIRAKURA!
>>23639774I'm just surprised they ended at the 49th instead of 50th. They probably figured it would be lackluster in sales and show quality as usual and just ended it, since Japan didn't want to save Sentai anyway.
>>23639774Donbrothers was literally just a few years ago made by both Inoue and Shirakura, made by both, the fuck are you on about?Either way I wouldn't be surprised if they get Inoue for a Project R.E.D show but they definitely won't for Gavan Infinity>>23639797It's because Sentai was supposed to end with Zenkaiger but Shirakura came up with a 5 year plan that failed starting with Zenkaiger, giving it 4 more shows.
>>23639768Of course he is, look at this >>23639774But then again he's focusing on stuff that makes no sense rather than focusing on the myriad of information that can defame Toei like how the killed the aquatic life of an island or how they blew up part touristic mountain, but of course said anon didn't even know this until I said so which honestly leads me to believe that he might actually be Saban, because Saban's e-mail were some of the most retarded shit I've ever resd
>>23639798A part of me wishes they done a 30 ep last season. A tighter budget show that's more traditional when it comes to upgrades and toys.
>>23639809I don't know, for me budget is the least of Gozyuger's problems
>>23639797Probably why they had that entire marketing at the start to changing things by counting by years rather than seasons. It makes sense since it allowed the big 50 as the finale AND also knowing they won't have shows on air constantly anymore.
>>23637399>Kabuto are getting anniversary moviesWhat's the point when Mizushima won't come back to play Tendou?
>>23639798>It's because Sentai was supposed to end with ZenkaigerFirst I've heard of this.Zenkaiger just looked so dumb I didn't bother with it.
>>23639797Well they counting years since Gorenger was two years. While LuPat was two Sentai teams in a season. So 50.
Maybe they should've just do all red sentai team
>>23639873Too expensive. Just have one red dude with a robot.
>>23639873That's what Gozyuger should've been
>>23639873I’ll always appreciate Gokaiger making gender swapped suits for one-off transformations.
>>23637755>japanese childrenLoL no
>>23638256Daaamn that would rule
>>23639923Yes anon thats what the toyline is built for, Gavan will just the same.since it inherits the bandai sentai formula
>>23639960I just hope they don't compromise the giant robot by making it also function as a roleplay toy.
>>23639960Right by reviving a dead property that most of these kids' parents would barely even remember? Doing this for the kids is a figleaf here when Gavan is a property that only boomer even remember.
>>23639798>for Gavan InfinityI feel like Arakawa is the most natural pick, he wrote Kuuga, and wrote heisei Gavan stuff.
All female Sentai. It’s targeted for adults.
>>23640026Gavan is name only its literally just a new toku hero
>>23640072You're better off watching GIGA at that point.>>23640076Not him, but why name it Gavan if not to market the older fans while trying to draw in newer ones?
>>23640072>they all get fired and get replaced by males dressed as girls
>>23640086Because Oji-san’s are in charge of final creative decisions, so a higher up probably told them to name it gavan as gavan in the 80’s was a huge innovation for effects and tech for toei.
>>23640093They all get fired and Kohaku is fills in as the replacement.
>>23640026>new IP that's Gavan in name only>call it Gavan to bring old fans since while the main focus is Japanese children, Toei toku is also meant to appeal to tokuota>take advantage that this is called Gavan to re-release Gavan stuff in other countries how can you be this fucking bad at marketing anon? >>23639864it's already comfirmed that they got Tendou's actor back for this, why bother making problems for yourself by not looking stuff up?
>>23639865It isn't a comfirmed thing since while the guy who said this got a lot of stuff right he also got a lot of stuff wrong but also the anon is phrasing it wrong. Basically back during LuPat a leaker said that Toei was considering ending the Super Sentai franchise on the 45th anniversary, but then when said 45th anniversary came around Shirakura suddenly claims to have a 5 year plan, now that 5 years have happened since Super Sentai is now finishing so people believe that the 5-year plan was a tactic to extend Super Sentai's life for 5 more years.
>>23637024>>23637191Just a feature film length sequence of Nobuo drinking and becoming more and more depressed until he breaks down sobbing on the ground at the death of Super Sentai

>>23639865>Zenkaiger just looked so dumb I didn't bother with it.missing out anon, the show brightened my day a lotI miss it
>>23639801Maybe he's just playing polite because they don't have as much of an international foothold as he does yet. However he may start exposing some of their shadier practices if they start expanding more aggressively, then dangle the promises of global expansion, collaboration with bigger studios, bigger budgets, more filming locations as bait into accepting a buyout or merger
>>23640872>Imagine DragonsThat's obviously not going to happen
>>23637002So it's going to be like the old days where they aired an asortment of unrelated toku shows rather than following a single definitive "franchise" (for now, it seems like the only connecting thread will be the heroes being red).
I wonder if Metal Heroes getting revived means KR will get less armored looking designs and more "undersuit-y" like Zeztz? Or more biological looking suits, like Gills or Black Sun
>>23641751Correct, unless gavan infinity does gangbusters, every year will be annew toku hero, like toei spiderman but on steroids
>>23641751"Project Red" is the new franchise itself. Aside from red leads, they're also promising consistent crossovers between each season that add to their lore/world.
>>23641751The difference is now there's gonna be consistent crossovers. I saw someone suggest a Kingdom Hearts-esque situation which is the best and worst way to look at it.
>>23637002Wonder if CD Projekt RED might kick up a fuss about the very similar name.
>>23641751>>23641892Isn't the reason Metal Heroes died is because it tried too many different types of shows and didn't stick with a similar formula and build around it as Kamen Rider did? Didn't they run out of ideas and couldn't reach Rider and Sentai's popularity in the end?
>>23642049It's more specifically that it wasn't a unified brand for marketing and instead served primarily as a vehicle to maintain contracts between Toei and Japan Action Club(Now Enterprise) because that's where most of their talent came from. JAE lost power, so Toei stopped putting in as much effort on that and put more effort into productions that JAE wasn't as influential on.
>>23642049Metal Hero wasn't a single series in the first place. It was just replaced with Moero!! Robocon and then Kuuga.
I would love it if Toei used this as an excuse to bring back all sorts of 90's toku.Lady Battle Cop The SeriesToshiki Inoue's Hakaider The SeriesChangerion The Next Generation
It's kinda hard to grasp the scope of the series until we're 2 shows deep.By the second show we'll be able to notice how much they were willing to keep and change (if anything at all), which is quite a while from now.
>>23640872pure bullshit.
>>23642036Should be okay when Toei Collab with them for the toku adaptation of Cyberpunk 2077
>>23641845>more biological looking suits, like Gills or Black SunYes please.
>>23640618Yes.
Gavan probably happened due to a budgeting factor on shooting sentai, they can't afford to make 5 suits, have the 5 suit and cast actors in every episode, why not have 1 guy again, with others showing up every so often ala universe reds from gozyuger. and incorporate the mech fights from sentai, still have mecha but save on costs and just have gavan grow giant so there's no new suit to keep costs down. save the gattai suit for special occasions.
>>23637002>>23637011I have a feeling thatTwo-Thousand-Twenty-Sixis going to be an interesting year.Goodbye,Super Sentai.And hello,Project R.E.D.!All other,"arguements",arenow officially,...INVALID.Don't like that?,...TOO BAD!,...Nobody,...CAAAAAAARRRRRRRESSSSSSS!
>>23644648According to rumors there's at least 3 Gavans in the show plus one or more robot companions, so no, they're not doing this to cut costs on the suits. TV Asahi's president already came out and said this move wasn't made because they consider Sentai too expensive to make or anything like that.
>>23637201What BL does to a motherfucker.
>>23639353>Careful, the monkey paw would be they cast King-Ohger's Prince because he does his stunts.lol could you imagine
>>23644850what show/movie is this? i hear its not uncommon for toku actors to do BL
>>23644648but they still need to make new monster suits for every ep
>>23644671and you believe him?
>>23645226Maybe if budget gets low enough they'll just have people in makeupOr like, human gangs. People dressed like yakuza/mafia.
I hops they bring back the "fights in black voids and fog from a smoke machine as ambience"
>>23645227Making suits that are even more elaborate than the previous ones and in the same quantities runs counter to the idea that they're doing this to cut production costs. It's more likely that they did this to see if they can improve merch sales and also get extra money from international distribution.
>>23645226No they don't, sentai has done a base body and new head for MOTW for the last 6 years
>>23645677I think what happens to the monster of the week will be pretty telling. Sentai certainly had been spending more on them than Rider even in these last few years.
>>23645677>to see if they can improve merch sales and also get extra money from international distribution.That doesn't even make sense. Gavan doesn't have the cachet that Super Sentai/Power Rangers had internationally. It's a franchise for 40-50 year old Japanese boomers. And they can't expect better merch sales if they don't make improvements in the toyline. This whole move is just magical thinking. If we rearrange the deck chairs with surface level improvements somehow the ship won't sink.
>>23645658You'll take CGI and you'll like it!
>>23645658I do hope they homage Makuu space, the LSD trip backgrounds in the quarry and fog machine is the best parts of gavan effects
>>23645700>Gavan doesn't have the cachet that Super Sentai/Power Rangers had internationallyThis is just Gavan in name only, it's basically a new franchise made to emulate Sentai but making it distinct enough by incorporating aspects from other Toei Toku into it. They can't release actual Sentai internationally without Hasbro's permission due to the bullshit contract they made with Saban decades ago, and the fact that official Sentai releases stopped when they took over means they probably don't want Sentai competing with their Power Rangers brand. They've outright said this project is a fresh new start with a focus on international release, and a simulcast is basically confirmed now.I personally believe it's gonna flop hard, but that doesn't mean that the desperate execs that made this clear desperation move aren't holding onto the hope that it doesn't. But I don't think this shit was made to cut costs, it seems like they're going all out for this since there's even been rumors about them doing ambitious things like constant crossover stuff and making this Toei's own "Avengers".
>>23645700>And they can't expect better merch sales if they don't make improvements in the toyline.we need to see the toys first
>>23645700>That doesn't even make sense. Gavan doesn't have the cachet that Super Sentai/Power Rangers had internationally.They CAN'T release Super Sentai internationally due to Power Rangers, so them bringing up international expansion at all as a reason to go with Gavan pretty much tells you the Power Rangers contract situation was part of the motivation for leaving Super Sentai behind.Also, don't forget this isn't just about Bandai toys. International exhibition by itself means licensing money for Toei.The toy revamp side is what is really more relevant to Japan itself. You have them being able to design unique heroes, rather than being forced to make them fit into a "team", pumping out 5 very similar suits that must all debut near each other rather than getting proper space to highlight each hero, and also likely not being forced to "use" them as a team every episode - something they even recently acknowledged as something that devalues Sentai heroes since it makes it look like they can't do anything by themselves.Now, you can ask why it's only an issue now when it wasn't for many years, but I'd say that it's because for many years, Sentai pretty much was the only toku show with multiple heroes. When later Metal Heroes did multiple heroes, they were teams like in Sentai too, so it didn't expose that weakness.But then now you have Rider that can have multiple heroes without forcing them into a "team" mold, which makes Sentai heroes look bad when side by side with that, especially once you were 10-15 years into Heisei Riders run and to a lot of people it was just as much a staple, always on tv as far as they could remember, as Sentai, so Sentai lost that unique presence it had in pop culture (Metal Hero never had this in spite of running for 20 years because "Meta Hero" as a brand was only known by otaku or at least kids/people buying toku magazines. It's why "Gavan" has been revived twice now, not "Metal Hero").

It'd be funny if they bring back Ninja Captor

>>23646231My foaking hero?
>>23646231Anyone recognizes the staff from that teaser, what director is that?

>>23646231going to assume the various effects are the type of characters we're gonna have. looks likelaser swordkatanaclawbig laserlightningmagicput your bets on if these will be new characters completely or what
>>23646231>>23646341
>>23645226The original Gavan didn't
>>23646231Looks like Tron
>>23646405I what way? It's a red and silver Robocop like Sharivan?
>>23646386I only recognise Shirakura in the white mask.
>>23646366That's just Esteban's head lmao
>>23646475You mean Gavan Bootleg.
>>23646231So, since Toei wants a global audience, they most definitely are going to be doing the same thing with Zeztz, and it'll have official subs on the same day of its air date?
>>23646539Yeah it's been comfirmed to be getting a simulcast but I'm not sure if it will take the same approach as Zeztz where it has to be a show with western themes since in this case it's not only a show that's supposed to launch a franchise outside of Asia but it's supposed to be a new franchise overall
>>23646548But Zeztz doesn't really have Western themes, though? Rap and English aren't anything new for Rider, and the suit looking like Spider-Man is only a coincidence.
>>23646548There isn't anything particularly Japanese about Gavan to begin with
>>23646563I meant picking Secret Agents and giving English cases which was done to be "familiar to a western market" but still retaining the "Japanese kids focus", at least that's what the producer ssid
>>23646639Well, as the above anon said, there isn't really a Japanese theme to Gavan since it's about space cops fighting a space crime syndicate.
>>23646563>Rap and English aren't anything new for RiderThe group they got for the OP (which features trendy western buzzwords like "GOAT") was literally formed to create music that was appealing to the west. The guys who made the rap insert song that's completely in English were literally told to make a song with the same vibe as their most american rap-esque song.>and the suit looking like Spider-Man is only a coincidencePretty sure it's not a coincidence since even the writer was picked partially with the western audience in mind.
>>23646707>were literally toldActually no, the rapper of that band proposed the staff that should aim to make songs similar to his most american song, then when they still struggled he picked an instrumental track made by one of the composers and rapped over it.>the writer was picked partially with the western audience in mind I don't remember this, I only remember him getting picked because the producer wanting to pick the writer's idea about a Kamen Rider that uses the powers of dreams, a Toei executive producer saying that him and the dream idea would be a good choice resulting in the producer doubling down and the writer himself telling the producer that he wanted to go back to writing mainline Kamen Rider in the last project they worked together.>>23646563>the suit looking like Spider-Man is only a coincidenceThe designers wanted to make a western-ish design and have the belt on the chest, what's coincidental about it is that the producer didn't force them. All the producer said was that he wanted a suit that looked like Ichigo, but because this was the first show to come out in the west and the producer wanting to have more bike scenes the designers came up with this and then the producer immediately greenlit it.
Aren't we supposed to get more info sometime today?
>>23646770It's on Monday
>>23646789Mmkay. I thought it was on the 30th.
>>23646770We did, it was on twitter
>>23646804And no one posted it here? Damn, y'all slipping.
>>23646812Anon…>>23646231
>>23646812are you stupid? of course you are
>>23646726>I don't remember thisIt's in the recent interview with Yanaka, he said some stuff about Takahashi and the western audience.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tqA02Z_1sw0
>>23646847Thanks a lot, I had forgotten to watch this. Speaking of interviews a toy analyzer talked about why Sentai wasn't profitable anymore and Shin-ichiro Shirakura had an interview giving further context on Sentai dying and what Project R.E.D is about. In summary Shirakura says that Project R.E.D shows will have a connected worldview but that doesn't necessarily mean characters returning every show, the show won't feel like Gavan aside from the action and metallic suits, it will be closer to Super Sentai but future shows in the Project R.E.D might not feel like Super Sentai at all, the audience focus has shifted from Japanese preschoolers to Japanese elementary schoolers and according to Toei despite them intending to make a show that appeal globally and citing Star Wars and Avengers as inspiration for Project R.E.D having a shared worldview they don't aim to compete or be similar to western IPs but rather their competition and the main reason they want to appeal globally are anime that appeal globally like Kimetsu no Yaiba.I recommend readong the Shirakura interview since I'm not exactly fluent in Japanese so I might have gotten some stuff wrong, hopefully someone here translates it: https://digital.asahi.com/sp/articles/ASTCX2TK7TCXUCVL00SM.html?ptoken=01KB983D6PJT3BSFG410TWDEHM
>>23646366>>23646231>looks like Spielvan>call it Gavan because it sells more and sounds cooler and call it a day
>>23646231I wanted to see the helmet, glad it feels like a Metal Hero.
