TV Asahi President, Arata Nishi Press Conference excerpt about Super Sentai>https://company.tv-asahi.co.jp/contents/interview/0083/index.html>Question: It has been announced that the Super Sentai series will come to an end. The series has been running for 50 years since the launch of "Himitsu Sentai Goranger" in 1975, and has a large fan base. There are many disappointments on social media, but I would like to know the reasons for the decision to bring it to an end.>President Nishi: First of all, I would like to express my gratitude to all the fans of the Sentai series for their support over the years. This marks the 50th anniversary, and we'd like to use this as a turning point to create a wide variety of new heroes who break away from traditional frameworks. We hope to continue to introduce new special effects series for our viewers to enjoy. This reorganization was made with the hope of building a variety of new special effects brands.>Question: In the tokusatsu genre, experts say things aren't going smoothly, with rising production and stunt costs, and a declining birthrate leading to a decline in the number of children and a decline in the population—the main target demographic—making the situation quite challenging. Have these changes in the environment had any impact on this renewal and overhaul?>President Nishi: The changes in the environment have not had a direct impact on this project. Of course, the declining birthrate is an issue, but we've always pursued an all-target strategy across TV Asahi, so we want to continue to focus on programs that appeal to children. Since the series is a major asset for us, we believe there's room for continued development, both domestically and overseas.
>>23644010>Question: Was it decided a long time ago to mark the 50th anniversary of the Super Sentai series? I get the impression that you've brought out a nostalgic work for the generation that watched "Gavan," "Sharivan," and "Shaider," but why did you choose "Gavan"? Also, is there any significance to making it a new series, such as promoting overseas sales?>President Nishi: I'd like to thank everyone for watching "Space Sheriff Gavan." Although the series first aired in 1982, it still has a loyal fan base, and I believe its enthusiastic support overseas is one of the reasons for the change. By incorporating the latest visual expression and directing techniques into "Gavan," we could create a variety of new heroes, and we chose "Gavan" because we felt it had great potential, even overseas. As for when we began considering the change, it's because, regardless of the genre, we always ask ourselves, "Is this good enough?" and "Is the status quo good enough?", and we create with the desire to create something new. In that sense, we've been discussing this for a long time, and we interpret it as a milestone, marking the 50th anniversary.>Question: How long will the currently airing "Number One Sentai Gozyuger" run? When will "Super Space Sheriff Gavan Infinity" begin airing?>President Nishi: "Number One Sentai Gozyuger" hasn't announced how long it will air next year, but it usually runs until February. We hope to make a release if the opportunity arises. However, regarding the time slot, we would like to broadcast "Gavan" after "Number One Sentai Gozyuger."
>>23644011>Question: As of July of this year, Toei producer and senior executive Shinichiro Shirakura spoke positively about the continuation of the Sentai series in interviews with various media outlets, saying, "We want the Sentai series to continue for 100 years." Since fans also believed this, there was widespread confusion. I'm sure there are various factors involved in TV station programming, but what are your thoughts on the possibility of the Sentai series continuing or reviving in the future?>President Nishi: We are currently challenging ourselves with new things, but as for whether the historic "Sentai" series will be revived in the future, I think there is a possibility, as it is a work supported by fans. However, there is nothing we can say at this time.>Question: Imamori Maya, a cast member of "Number One Sentai Gojuger," had a drinking problem and was fired from her agency and left the show. How do you feel about this? Also, I believe re-editing and reshooting were required. Are there any plans to seek compensation from her agency or Maya Imamori?>President Nishi: As this is a children's program, we are truly sorry that such an incident occurred. Both our company and Toei will take appropriate measures to prevent recurrence and will continue to implement strict compliance. We would like to once again apologize to our viewers, including all parties involved, for the inconvenience caused. We are not currently considering or taking any action regarding compensation.>Regarding the issue of drinking under the age of 20, what specific prevention measures are you considering?>President Nishi: I think the most important thing is for the individual to be aware of the issue. Since the casting process and the long year of filming continue, and the individual will be involved in this broadcast, we will continue to provide training from time to time.
>>23644010>Of course, the declining birthrate is an issue, but we've always pursued an all-target strategy across TV Asahi, so we want to continue to focus on programs that appeal to children.Whew, Sentai-to-GL pipeline is safe.
>>23644010>>23644011>>23644012So he's saying Sentai wasn't cancelled because of budget or the birthrate or whatever but just in the sense that it's a new franchise start that will be easier to release overseas (and why they're starting with Gavan as a brand) like with Zeztz and feel much fresher shaking off Sentai's hero config cobwebs. Plus that there's gonna be much stricter training for younger actors after the whole thing with Imamori. Sounds solid to me.
>>23644012>we will continue to provide training from time to time.What would a "legal age drinking" training course be like? They teach counting to 20?
>Imamori Maya is in stable condition GOD FINALLYShe's going to survive boys
Did Maya finally try to end it like people thought?
>>23644025Probably whatever the Toku alumni of the past had to go through with their agencies riding their asses to not do stupid shit.
>>23644029Yeah she was gonna swallow a whole bottle of pills but she couldn't get it open.
>>23644037I CAN'T GET THE CAP OFF
>>23643997Why no Kimura?
>>23644045He's protesting against Maya's treatment
>>23643913Both are inferior to Keris anyways.
>>23644051At this rate it's going to be real.
Favorite Sentai Robo finisher?
>>23644029if that rumor actually is true and she's been committed to an institution, very low chance of it happening
Can someone explain that shit contract Toei signed with the burgers again?
>>23644133If it's part of sentai then Power Rangers can use itIf it's part of sentai then nobody else can distribute it on the westThis applies to any sentai ever until the heat death of the universe
>>23644209Ergo, Project RED bannered shows are protected from this nightmare contract.
>>23644045Sixth hero always isn't until the 4th show, this is still the 3rd.
>>23644005You think why they get him for the Sentai side of Cho Eiyu Sai?
>>23643997close enough, welcome back Junretsuger
>suicide attempt and currently hospitalized >covered as underage drinking that's pretty cruel, why not just using "health problems"?
Which gozyus will help promote in Korea and China?
>>23644273Have you heard the news? China canceled events with Japanese guests right now, the one I know from toku recently is Hiroshi Maruyama (Heisei Ultraman designer)
>>23644024>So he's saying Sentai wasn't cancelled because of budget or the birthrate or whatever but just in the sense that it's a new franchise start that will be easier to release overseas (and why they're starting with Gavan as a brand) like with ZeztzThe western expansion was a mistake.
>>23644214Not if they feature any Sentai character at all.
>>23644272Because she attempted suicide after receiving the backlash from her affair.
>>23644325yeah but did she even drink? they could just retire her from the show by saying she got a health problem
>>23644273Me and my not!girlfriend

>>23644010>>23644011>>23644012>we're ending the 50 year series and replacing it with zombie gavan because... its a good change of pace!looking real forward to the first quarter toy sales for this>>23644396I dunno, this anon >>23644026 seems like he's got the scoop
>>23644454Yeah, the toys will either save or kill off the series. I hope the toys are more like Takara or the Korean robot toys.
>>23644444>44444cursed franchise
>>23644467Considering that they didn't learn their lesson with the robots in Sentai, I'm going to guess that it likely won't do well unless the roleplay toys are attractive like with Rider
>>23644454>>23644482They're going to be able to sell them globally. Unless the toys are FUCKING HORRIBLE, they should sell more by that alone compared to Super Sentai. Not by a lot, but still enough where it shouldn't be a complete failure if the toys end up being mid.
>>23644396It's as possible as>She fucked the suit actor>Source: Dude trust meCan't be flipfloping about this
>>23644330Based on the wording, she was already fired and was waiting for the announcement to be shared. However, she fell off the deep end during the lull and decided to make an attempt before it got posted. And since at that point she is no longer affiliated with either parties, it would be undiscovered since neither have eyes on her anymore. We really only have words from a family friend who states they know what truly happened.
>>23644488>>Source: The official announcement that dropped two weeks after the leaker said we would learn about Asai's firing very soonBut go ahead, keep coping.
Your anti agenda is really concerning. What did Asai and Imamori do to you?
>>23644487Since Team Kamen Rider was a complete failure in the west and this is a brand new franchise that nobody of interest is attached to, I predict it will pull off the same numbers as Sentai or even less.
>>23644503We should be asking why people talking about what they did bothers you so much.
>>23644507> Since Team Kamen Rider was a complete failure in the west It wasn’t. Though
Kosuke Asai here.
>>23644511>It wasn’t. ThoughIt was.
>>23644026She still has a future in JAV.

>>23644584Drunk 20 year old pussyPlease understand
>>236444871) Space Sherifs and Gavan has a much smaller footprint globally compared to Power Rangers/Super Sentai. The Gavan Movie went nowhere except as a pet v-cinema project for Tsukada/Sakamoto. The boomer audience that remembers the original Gavan isn't going to hard carry Gavan In Namely Only especially when it's just Super Sentai smooshed together with Metal Heroes and now maybe with cards.2) >making better toysI seriously doubt they learned their lesson since the whole reason Super Sentai burnt out in Japan is because of the toys (they didn't know how to sell bricks to kids with more competition domestically and internationally). Trying to compete internationally when they are failing in Japan just shows their entire foundations is buit on mud.
>>23644585She must have been really drunk to go for an ugly fuck like you
>>23643988This sounds like it could actually be true, is it actually true or is this another "Japan prefers Dragon Knight over Ryuki" meme?
>>23644513What was the pickup line you used on Maya?
>>23644588Rude
>>23643964I mean it's just a Turboranger suit with a GoGoV helmet. I like the axe though.
>>23644585She wasn't 20 yet Asai.For her coverup story she needs to be 19, remember?
>>23644586Is the card gimmick already confirmed?
>>23644586>Super Sentai smooshed together with Metal HeroesBased on the description where they mention crossover, I think it's more like picrel.
>>23644614Aaah gomen gomenUoooooooooooooo!ToT
>>23644650It's closer to Universal's failed Dark Universe or the MCU, it's not going to start off with a big crossover, they're going to be building up to it like the Avengers, and they can't feature Sentai at all if they want to release it internationally.
>>23644586You keep bitching about bricks as if Boonboonger and Gouzyuger aren't out performing Donbrothers and Kingohger.
>>23644670Donbrothers is still the highest-selling Reiwa show and Gozyuger is even with King-Ohger as of Q3.
>>23644661Oh boy, I can't wait for five seasons of I Can't Believe It's Not Kamen Metal Rangers brought to you by the same fucktards who killed Super Sentai then capped off with a mediocre Taisen movie.
>>23644686How much did you financially support Sentai, btw? Not just buying toys (if you even did that at all).
>>23644273Can they be shown with beer like that
>>23644703I think it's fine when their show already ended.

Sumino's insert song is still up so she hasn't been completely unpersoned
I'm glad they just recasted the actress instead of something corny like oto taking over or sumino going to a peace conference
>>23644765Would be funny if they had the new actress sing it instead for the final album release.
>>23644778I would have dropped the show altogether if they replaced her with oto
>>23644764>/predg/How do you do, fellow predagers?
>>23644273You gotta remember that King-Ohger was massively popular over there, specially China. Gozyuger probably isn't even a blip.
>>23644324Bet they made a loophole
>>23644783>>23644764/tegajune/ general
Think they're going to have everyone re-record the OP with gremlin or are they just going to just record gremlin dancing and greenscreen her into the original footage over Maya for the most part?
>>23644800the sakito treatment
>>23644789The contract very clearly states:>The "Territory" shall include:>(a) SISI TERRITORY: The United States of America, its territories, commonwealths and possessions, U.S. Military Installations located outside of the U.S. and the U.S. Armed Forces Radio and Television Network.>(b) SINV TERRITORY: The Universe excluding the SISI Territory, Brazil, Japan, Singapore, Thailand, Hong Kong, Malaysia, China, Korea, Taiwan, Indonesia, Laos, Vietnam and Cambodia.
>>23644789Yes but not in the way you think Toei eventually lost Brazil due to Saban legal fuckery.
>>23644808>Licensor hereby grants to SISI in the SISI Territory and SINV in the SINV Territory the sole and exclusive rights ("Licensed Rights"), under copyright or otherwise, during the Term, to: (b) distribute, exhibit, lease, license, market, sell, publicize, advertise, promote, perform and exploit the Program, and all dubbed and other versions thereof and all elements, parts, characters, characterizations or character names therein, either apart from or in conjunction with the work, by way of All Media now known or hereafter devised, including, without limitation, by way of Television Use, Theatrical Use, Non-Theatrical Use, Video Cassette/Disc Distribution and Ancillary Distribution Use, including, without limitation, by way of soundtrack albums and phonorecords,music publishing, literary publishing, so-called "merchandising rights", amusement and theme parks, and musical groups; and (e) use and license others to use Licensor's name and the name, voice, likeness and biographical material concerning all persons and characters appearing in or connected with the Program for advertising, publicity and trade purposes of Licensee and its licensees and any sponsors of the Program.>Licensor grants to Licensee the exclusive option to acquire under the same terms and conditions herein: (a) additional episodes of the Program; (b) each remake, sequel, prequel, spin-off, series spin-off and feature film based on the Program or its underlying literary material (including, without limitation, any character(s) therein); and (c) each live action series which Licensor either presently owns or controls, or produces or otherwise acquires within the period ("Option Period") commencing upon thedate hereof and ending eighteen (18) months after the first U.S. broadcast of the Program (provided, however, that such eighteen (18) months shall commence no later than September, 1993), such options to be exercisable by Licensee during the Option Period.
>>23644778I'm not, doesn't feel like a recast and might as well make her go to a peace conference which likely happen to Kohaku version, she won't appear in every episodes because of her schedule.
>>23644872They're doing emergency reshoots so they'll likely work around her schedule and/or just shoot her scenes when they have her. It's not like they're still filming episode by episode at this point most of the show was done.
>>23643969>>23643978>>23643988I'm curious: can Toei actually use PR-exclusive ranger suits? I know they did brought the SPD battlelizer into that deka magi crossover.
>>23644886That's what I mean, she's not getting her own focus episode and basically just filling in to not making the full team scene awkward.
>>23644888I think the Tsukada seasons had help from Sakamoto while he was doing PR since there's scenes there filmed in New Zealand like the Gekiranger OP. And of course once Tsukada landed on KRW, he started giving jobs to Sakamoto to direct episodes on W and made him the chief director of Fourze.
>>23644888I think by the time they had any interest PR had stopped doing it and Sentai was making their own suit power ups
>>23644904Gekiranger's ED was also filmed in New Zealand wasn't it? And IIRC Magiranger's OP was too.
>>23644888They probably could rebuild anything since they have the reciprocal rights over PR in the East Asia territories, but there wasn't any clause to receive the actual suits.Note the Battlizer happened in a time where they were actually coworking with the PR film crew directly and doing some shots in New Zealand (even if mostly for opening/endings)
>>23644888The contract they made with Saban actually goes both ways, and most of those designs were made by PLEX/Bandai of Japan, so probably yes. They were even featured in a magazine once.
So to sum up why Sentai is ending:>Abysmal toy sales>Lower birth rate in Japan possibly constitues them trying an overseas market>Hasbro's Harmony Gold-style grip on sentai in the west not only prevents anything pre-Fiveman and Post-Dekaranger from coming overseas, but forces things that are Sentai-like to change like Chroma Squad>Power Rangers isn't gonna be using Sentai footage anymore, but that licensing isssue still persists>Refusal to do much beyond reusing MMPR over and over again.So I'm guessing it was better for Toei to cut their losses and create Project R.E.D. especially since they can possibly simulcast it.
>>23644956Project RED is 100% getting simulcast because Tokushoutsu's twitter retweeted the announcement tweet.
I don't like the name Project Red. Calling something "Project" is so late-2000s early 2010s coded.
>>23644960Project RED is just a name like Super Sentai is. Every series isn't gonna have Project RED in the title, it's just the IP umbrella.
>>23644956>Le threadly Japanese dying out maymay
>>23644956No it's because "Super Sentai" sounds too much like "Hyper Hentai" u dumb bish
>>23644956You also forgot the fact that Hasbro is going to be making its own Power Rangers toys, cutting the Super Sentai from the global market. (yes, I know its technically the third one in your list, but it read vague to me, fuck you)
>>23643964Kakkoii...
>>23644956>forces things that are Sentai-like to change like Chroma SquadThere's actually a blatant PR/Sentai style game that came out about 2 years ago that somehow slipped through Saban's notice. Either he was preoccupied with other things or picking a fight with SE over FF15 made him double think attacking everything
>>23645009Hasbro in spite of clamping down hard on official Sentai localization has really don't much about Power Rangers-like products, unlike Saban's 2nd run.
>>23645009What's the name of that game, and is it any good?
>>23645025Nice try Saban
>>23645005>How dare you Japanese try to steal our American Powerful Rangers!

>>23644956why are we still taking the third point as gospel again
>>23644921Auckland
>>23645003Didn't know that.Wait, Didn't Cosmic Fury's toys only really consist of the morpher? If thats a sign, it's not a good one.Either way since PR is gonna do original material only from now on, it's harder to actually try to get invested, especially, after RPM.Honestly they can do whatever the fuck they want now, those dumbass mecha desgins from the Boom Comics, or just make a Skibidi Toliet themed team. Their target audience is now toddlers for a while
>>23645159Cosmic Fury only had the morpher, a play set which was the champagne ranger costume and an amazon exclusive Megazord. That's it.They're having Playmates redo the MMPR Season 1 toys, With Project RED being a thing, Toei can actually sell the toys outside Japan.
>>23645163Shame MMPR is all they care about, it's the gen-one obsession other fanbases tend to have
>>23645009Whats that thing about Saban and Square enix?
>>23645169Look up FFXV's Magitek Exosuit. SE had to redesign the suits. It was around the time the horrible MMPR 2017 movie came out.
>>23645174Oh yeah the movie where Krispy Kreme donuts saved the day. Very american.
>>23643964It's a good suit. Too bad JP never got it.
>>23645174Saban faggotry aside, this looks like shit. Doesn't fit with XV's style.

>>23643964>PR was capable of making original suits like this"GoSilver" might be a mix of Turboranger and GoGoV, and "DekaOrange" might be a Dekasuit with Megaranger helmet, but how come these frankenstein suits are far better than the originals that came years later?
>>23644934>and most of those designs were made by PLEX/Bandai of JapanThat explains a lot, truly a lot.
>she reads your posts about her
>>23645495wishing I was a pretzel is a new one desu
>>23645487PLEX worked on these designs (plus the Sentai-ified version of Elehung, Bat, and Sharkie) which resulted in them having that clear PLEX-style, whereas much later ones were done by in-house Hasbro guys who have the usual occidental problem of only understanding and copying Zyuranger silhouettes and shape language.
>>23645446Just looking at still images, Kohaku fits in so much better than Imamori it's unreal, it's like she's been here from Day One. At first I didn't see the point of keeping and recasting Sumino rather than Yellow4ing her but I get it now. It wouldn't surprise me if they were motivated by spite and I honestly can't blame them. Fuck it, this is what we could and should have always had.
>>23645446Every time Kohaku smiles an angel gains its wings
>>23645522>Kohaku fits in so much better than Imamori it's unreal, it's like she's been here from Day One.
>>23645522ehh I wait until the broadcast
did kohaku even bother watching maya's episodes to get a gist of the character tics and body language
>>23645608The photos so far give me the impression they're pretty much making her a different character. It doesn't bother me much though, since I thought Sumino was really bland after they revealed her real personality/goals. She has felt for a long time the most generic "nice hero" in the team with little else to her when she isn't dealing directly with her sister's plot.
You're pushing this anti agenda too hard now
>>23645612I never felt she was a "nice hero" beside her transformation debut. Her comedic scenes are funny tho.
>>23645621?
>>23645612none of them are "nice heroes" because that's the point
>>23644755>>23644764I would like to advocate for "/ttg/ - Toei Tokusatsu General". That will easily cover everything (except Kamen Rider, of course).
One thing I noticed Kohaku is still not posting or retweeting any Gozyuger posts about her involvement. She did like the Instagram posts tho.
>>23645628Sumino after her true motives were revealed pretty much is though, which is why I"m saying she felt bland compared to the others.
>>23645649I always feel the "nice hero of the group" is something more like Boon Black, which I don't really see in Sumino after her transformation debut, she ended up being the jokester for most of the time.Kinjiro feels nicer than her but even him is stuck with the party shtick.
>>23645601Seethe more
>>23645343>This tokusatsu reference doesn't look like the fantasy gameNo shit genius, it's supposed to be a reference to tokusatsu style suits, the characters even do choreographed poses while wearing them.
>>23645639Isn't her socials mostly her management? I think we had to rely on her sister's twitter back during donbros for actual BTS stuff.
>>23645509PLEX must have really phoned it in because those still look like ass. They look like bootleg designs.
>>23645638This sounds good
>>23645727Part of the issue is the material Power Rangers uses for the suits. It doesn't have that metallic/reflexive tint of the Sentai suits.The OTHER part of the issue is that they were actually designed as base form suits (which you could get in the toyline), and then just color swapped and getting shoulder pads for the super modes (they're in super mode all the time in the show) rather than full redesigns like the main suits.
>>23645638Great, get ready for years of people joking that they're here for the tabletop games and got lost on the way to /tg/.
>>23645727PLEXs designs are solid, PRs costume execution is what makes them "look like ass".
>>23645639she's under a goodwill short contract, they don't have the SNS stipulations the others have.
>>23645761There actually are multiple Power Rangers tabletop RPGs, one of which was liveplayed on Twitch. That was is full of edgelord grimdark bullshit and Marvel style multiverse multi-timeline retconning shit. Best part, that one is considered canon to the overall Power Rangers extended universe.
>>23645638No thanks faggot
So the end of Super Sentai, be it truly or just that the Sentai IP being put the shelf in favor of making something similar but legally distinct from Sentai, basically means Power Rangers as a TV series is being choked to death, right? I mean technically Power Rangers as a TV show has been dead for two years anyway but considering how nothing has ever compelled anyone to actually make a PR show without Sentai footage means there isn't much life left in there. Admittedly, there are like nine more Sentai shows left to lift footage from but still.
>>23645792Cope, Sentai is dead.
>>23645834>basically means Power Rangers as a TV series is being choked to death, right? I mean technically Power Rangers as a TV show has been dead for two years anyway but considering how nothing has ever compelled anyone to actually make a PR show without Sentai footage means there isn't much life left in thereHasbro were the first ones to come out and say they wanted to make PR shows without using Sentai footage, so this move doesn't really affect their plans.
>>23645834Oh PR is fucked. Both it and Sentai have gone on long enough that there will inevitably be an attempt to bring them back sooner or later, but the difference is that when Sentai comes back we'll get a brand new Super Sentai, when PR comes back it'll be another Mighty Morphin wank reboot which crashes and burns just like 2017.
>>23645834Hasbro has been attempting to move away from Sentai footage for a while. They actually have officially announced a new Disney + show, although production hasn't even started yet.https://screenrant.com/power-rangers-new-show-confirmed-disney-plus/I'd be surprised if this lasts though, yeah.
>>23645638Teen Titans Go general
>>23645834>>23645843Hasbro has been trying to get this off the ground since 2019. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/power-rangers-reboot-works-1262562/I've seen so many PR fans saying that the series is saved when they haven't even filmed anything is very optimistic to say the least. Until that shit actually gets on Disney+, it might as well not exist.
>>23645875That would be ttgg.
>>23645883I can't even blame Hasbro, they can pretty much just coast the IP off of constant GenWunnery and the occasional new comic idea.
>>23645883It's because they want to create something with zero Sentai footage then realize how expensive and annoying to do it is without the Japanese doing the heavy lifting for them. Disney Plus is gonna be worse, they have ridiculous expectations that the show will never ever be able to fill because PR is just not that popular anyone and the die hard fans are impossible to please.
>>23645839>>23645834The funny this is if PR decides they want to go back to Sentai after all (because rebooting is just too much work for what any sponsor is willing to pay) now they can't because Sentai is done.
>>23645898They still have a few series they haven't used, the problem would be they likely woudn't have the props due to them being years old.
>>23645883It's on schedule to film in January 2026 in the UK.
>>23645902They also wouldn't have the monster suits, which is the real problem
>>23645906If they're filming in the UK, they're looking the tax breaks. Which will be fun for us cause they'll eventually have to reveal the budget for those tax breaks.
>>23645883If the reboot ends up being anything like donut steel original the character PR comics they've made over the years, it's going to crash and burn spectacularly. The only thing they know how to do without Sentai as a guideline is lean into either Hot Topic edginess or Tumblr drama and feelings bullshit. I tried using the wiki to read through summaries of the twenty or so multiverse timelines and self intersecting extended canon they've established, fucking My Immortal is less dense and cringey than the oRiGiNaL stories they've come up with to try to appeal to the manchild and tumblrina audience they've cultivated. You think otaku are bad? These losers make even the most greasy of NEETs look socially well adjusted, and the comics reflect that. If they continue to lean into that audience, the reboot's catchphrase will be "We need Tylenol power, Now!"
>>23645917It's gonna crash and burn cause Disney+ shows are massively overbudget and not terribly popular. Andor's first season cost 710 MILLION dollars and no one watched it.
>>23645925This. It will get one season, fail because Disney wants impossible numbers then Disney will cancel it and have no more interest in the franchise. Then PR is basically done because they'd have attempted all potential avenues to get the show running again, and failed in all of them.
>>23645925Star Wars is also a much larger label property than Power Rangers and prints money even at a loss. They're likely going to be a lot more conservative with Power Rangers.
>>23645925The Power Rangers reboot isn't going to get nearly the same amount of budget Andor got. PR isn't one of Disney's biggest franchises, it's not even owned by them.
>>23645933>Star Wars is also a much larger label property than Power Rangers and prints money even at a loss.>prints money even at a loss.No it doesn't.
How are the Japanese fans taking things? Is there a # I can look at on Twitter to see talk about sentai dying? I'm sure this probably brought some fans to tears.
>>23645939If it wasn't printing money still, they wouldn't keep forcing it down people's throats. This is basic economics.
>>23645944From what I remember they were sad at the start but after they started to figured out that Project RED was basically a continuation by the same staff section with Sentai and Metal Heroes mixed into a pot they got less sad.
>>23645967Is that why they took 7 years between movies? Cause it prints money?
>>23645917>>23645925weeaboo contrarians
What will they be doing with the SHT block on TVAsahi. Reruns? I'm really curious about the feelings of the staff but I guess we'll probably never get to hear those honestly and everyone will publicly always remain professional about it. Some of the twitter reactions to the initial leak made it seem like a lot of people you would expect to have known about something like this were actually caught completely by surprise.
>>23645944
>>23645987It's still going to be Precure, then Kamen Rider, then Project RED for SHT.
>>23645944I mean they can cry all they want, but they didn't buy the shit to keep it afloat like they do with rider. even then its not cancelled just ending and thats only as a yearly broadcast of new teams, still have specials and merchandise so its not all bad. Bandai need to stop putting electronics in DX mecha it fucks up the aesthetic and compromises the toy due to all the space for the wires and battery area. bring back fist launching or missiles.
>>23645983I assume you mean since the sequel trilogy ended, the 7 year window where, similar to the 10 year gap between the prequels and the sequels, we have been inundated with additional media like The Mandalorian, The Book of Boba Fett, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Andor for their shows, a comic line that was reinvigorated in 2020 and is still shitting out new issues, the Star Wars Jedi games, Squadrons, Hunters, Outlaws, a new Lego Star Wars, and four more upcoming games with the nearest being Zero Company in early 2026.>B-but it's shit!We're not talking about quality, we're talking about capacity for sales. We would not be flooded with all of this shit if people weren't still buying it. Star Wars is a liquid enough property that they feel justified in making near billion dollar flops like Andor.
>>23646035Don't respond to posts like that, the anon is baiting you. Anons in this general will shit on other franchises for failing but will pretend and argue that Super Sentai isn't already in the grave.
>>23645889>they can pretty much just coast the IP off of constant GenWunneryYeah, don't remind me. For some reason, just about every new iteration of Transformers sort of pretends not much else has been released since the G1 cartoon ended. I mean, not exactly of course, the sparks and protoforms are examples of concepts that originated past the G1 cartoon and is included in most things afterwards but stuff like that is mostly just given acknowledgement because it smooths things out, like in that particular case it got accepted because it was the best explanation for how purely robotic beings can be considered life. Aside from such concepts the franchise isn't really really allowed to grow beyond what G1 established. It's almost always the Autobots and Decepticons fighting, each new cartoon has like 90% of it's robot roster taken from G1, human characters are basically always completely new ones, rarely do they explore other planets aside from earth/cybertron, yadda yadda. It's depressing how stuck this shit is on essentially taking the first cartoon, give it a "new" spin and barely glancing at other iterations for inspiration. Did you know /co/ has frequent threads about Sari Sumdac, the human/cyborg sidekick from Animated? Clearly that character has a fanbase, but we won't see her in anything else but Animated for as long as Hasbro just keeps going back to square one.
>>23643672 I mean all of the 00s shows are great but Timeranger is just that good, it has what's arguably the best main cast written by Yasuko Kobayashi
>>23646064Timeranger was the one I really disliked. It just wasn’t for me like most of the 00’s Sentai were.
I heard a rumor that Gavan Infinity will be written by Yuji Kobayashi from Ultraman/Garo and produced by Hideaki TsukadaIs that true? At least we'll probably know immediately wether it's false or not since the official announcement on tuesday that the official project RED twitter account teased will probably be the staff reveal
>>23646068I mean it's okay to not like a majority liked season. Don't think you need to.
>>23646068That's allright, but man 00s Sentai were so consistently good it's insane, what went so rightWhy did Utsunomiya take a wrong turning the middle 10s?
>>23646076My jam lies in the 90’s Sentai. That’s where my childhood is.
Someone upload this so I have a direct download?
>>23646070I hope that isn't true, I like Yuji Kobayashi but I wouldn't want him to write the first entry of a new franchise
>>23646076i think it was mostly constant course correcting>gokaiger is smash hit that celebrates 35 years>do something totally new for go-busters, kids hate it>follow up with overly childish kyoryuger, toqger & ninninger>ninninger is universally hated, decide instead to do bland, middle-of-the-road anniversary for zyuoh>zyuoh sells like shit, decide to do gimmicky bullshit for the next 2 seasons>they flop, panic and try dinosaurs again with the least charismatic cast of all time>panic more and bring in arakawa to save the show, get hit by covid and wind up with zenkai>panic even further and desperately beg inoue to save them>it barely works and we get a few more seasons while they figure out the best way to pull the plug
>>23646087I find it funny how Ninninger killed Sentai. How could they screw up a ninja theme so bad?
Shida Sumino incoming!
READYYY, GO!
Gremlin time
>underground investigation>disguise is now permanentSo, Beetleborgs route, huh.
She cute
>They even added a reason why Sumino looks different>And Sumino thinks she looks prettier>And she did the Oni poseCHEEKY
Even the OP is fixed/edited
>changed face in universe>thinks herself prettier nowInsult to injury?
her trying to copy imamori's expressions is peak comedy
I have the biggest smile on my face on my face right now. Shida is PERFECT.
Seems like she's a better actress. Just from the intro
holy shit the opening
>[REDACTED]lol
they put more effort into fixing the op to put oni in than they ever do to put a sixth inreplacing some location shots with toei roof shots took the fun out of it though
She has parents and a comatose sister that'll ask right?>>23646111They didn't even including Mashiro in the full team line up more. Like the chance is right there
>Halloween timeA bit late aren't we?
IWAE!Enter Sumino 2.0! Maya-san might as well as call it quits de aru.
WTF I LOVE GOZYUGER NOWLegit she’s so unbelievably cuteSo much more animated than that smug fridge-shaped girlHonestly as shit as the show has been, I gotta give props to them looking directly at the camera and doing the oni horns lmao
Her personality is totally different
She's cuter
>>23646117Mashiro is still with them
She's too god damn cute
>them new Sumino reaction faces
Which season is this girl from? She's great
SHE’S THE BESTI LOVE HER
>>23646134Avataro Sentai DonBrothers.
Kohaku is definitely at least trying not to just play Haruka again
>they won't have her haruka it up Anon>she's just playing the role that was given before it all happenedMhm. I will take that apology now.
Imamori on suicide watch right now lmao
omg her spazzing out at the ghosts my sides>>23646134She was originally OniSister in Donbrothers
I like Hoeru's screams.
>she put her whole harussy into itabsolutely based
is Kinji technically the oldest core team member?
Bouquet, what happened to your "Rikuo-sama = Gozyu Blue" realization?>>23646144Yeah, Hoeru's acting scared works.
>>23646144He's just a puppy
>>23646142she literally is though anon...
Honey comes from flowers you know
Yes Rikuo, Bouquet is all yoursI want NuminoMan imagine being a tripfag dedicated to a shit actress who got fired for whoring around AND DIRECTLY TOLD SHE’S LESS PRETTY ON-SCREEN LMAO
>Bouquet trying to make the grunts to attack her while with RikuoCute
fun episode
>>23646150kyuranger had a couple older, iirc
>>23646158>Go away please
I'm hoping that Sumino 2.0 will have a focus episode before Gozyuger's over, because honestly I just want more Shida.
WITCH KOHAKUAAAAAAAAA
>>23646162Core team members? No.>>23646150Zyurangers? If you count being in stasis.
>Why are you THE ONI, Ryugi?This feels more like an original episode.
You can tell that Ryugi's actor really enjoys working with Shida
Anyone knew the director for this episode? Hoeru's fighting scene feels like Sakamoto doing it
The energy on the set between her and everyone else is so much better.
>Kohaku joins>Gozyuger becomes good
Is it me or is Hoeru's acting drastically better this episode, he had already improved a lot late into the first half of the show but I feel that because these reshoots are being done after the show had already finished fully filming Hoeru seems drastically more professional now.In contrast Rikuo while still good at acting he has a bit more energy of being done with life probably because he was fucked the hardest out of the reshoots but maybe I'm projecting there. Either way at the very least I'm glad that the cast seems to be managing to have a lot of fun despite the situation this episode, particularly old man Kinjiro seems to be having a hell of a good time.
>Take the scary house and make it "spooky halloween" scary so everyone has a good timeAmusing
The Worst Witch vibes
>>23646172It's Kiramager's chief director who's also the one who directed today's Zeztz episode and the one who did most of the episodes that focused on plot reveals in Ex-Aid.He's arguably one of the best directors Toei has at the moment and I'm surprised he's only been given a single show to direct as chief director.
Witch Sumino is so fucking sex.
If this is the energy we are getting for the last run of Sentai, I don't think anyone will have anything to complain about
The hell was that anime movie about chibi soldiers getting shot up
>>23646181With them having to rework episodes they should really go all out
>>23646177Anything that echos Tim Curry is good in my eyes
>>23646168i guess it depends if you count balance
>>23646184they really only had to rework the previous threethis one to the end shouldn't need it
>>23646174I was already enjoying Gozyuger a lot before this but this feels a drastic improvement from usual Akiko written episodes, I don't know if it's because Yamaguchi is such a good director or if because the reshoots are being done after the show is already done everyone from the cast, Akiko, Matsuura and the new producer who were all newbies now have a better understanding as to how to properly work on a show. Despite we losing two episodes worth of content these reshoots might be a blessing in disguise, specially if the agency is the one who has to pay the damages instead of Toei itself because then they might haven't lost much. >>23646177Based anon
It's amazing just how replacing Sumino's actress with Kohaku has like made the show just better?
And Ribbon dies permanently?
Is it me or is Gozyu Unicorn's suit actress acting sexier than usual?
>>23646187I stand corrected fren
>>23646168>>23646162I mean actor wise with his old man form
Ribbon is killBouquet hates GozyuLeon even more now
>>23646191Ribbon is a bitchRIP Bozo
>>23646191I hope so
>>23646175Most of the scenes without Sumino are from before the reshoots.
>>23646190It's because they also have to reshoot after the show is ended, which means everyone else from the staff and cast aren't newbies anymore. But also Sumino's actress despite initially not being the worst actress of the cast Hoeru improved so much she remained the worst, so replacing her with a far much experienced actress helps a lot.
Is this the catalyst for Mashiro x Bouquet?
>>23646195Oh. Then yeah. He's the oldest actor to be a core member.
And it drops: Rikuo IS indeed Gozyu Blue in front of Bouquet
>bouquet dies next week
>>23646190One person's bad energy can ruin every else's group efforts too.
Oh damn, Bouquet is feeling a lot of different feelings right now...
While I know Ribbon's death is supposed to fuel the rivalry between Bouquet and Rikuo, do you think Ribbon was originally meant to be set up as a rival for Sumino but the loss of episodes resulted in them preferring to kill her early?
>>23646201Much better ship.
>>23646191That ribbon she gave Bouquet's probably got something to it
I like Bridan's allegiance to one another (excluding Kuon)
Everyone in Bridan are such great actors Holy shit
I think Bouquet's brain broke
>Bouquet.exe has crashed
Sing and dance with usLOL
Sisters before mistersBuddy has to die
>>23646199Is that comfirmed? I mean that makes far more sense than any of what I said, I just find Hoeru for some reason to be much better in this episode
Gozyuger this week was... good? Actually very good? Properly paced without ten plotlines going off at once? Holy shit.
>No Project RED trailerDon't tell me they're gonna upload it at 11:30 AM JST?
>>23646209Why not both? It's not like there are enough enemy generals to do a 1:1 rival (although Hoeru gets both Fire Candle and Kuon/Gyarudo).
>>23646142I mean she tried since September...
https://twitter.com/ProjectRED_Toei/status/1994934404712669466Infinity.
Tegajune went berserk at Bellum for seemingly killing Sweetcake, Rikuo is fucked
>>23646221There is one in the official twitter
>>23646221>>23646225I spoke too soon
>>23646221Probably releasing the trailer on Twitter
>we got the Tyranno power-up on a Rikuo focusThis show is still a mess.
>>23646225Honestly looks awesome but I'm worried that his might not light up like all the previous Space Sheriffs in order to make him more Sentai-like
>>23646225I have zero interest in this shit
>>23646225Its daft punk and Gavan's helm mixed.
>>23646219Not confirmed but it's pretty obvious for every Kohaku scenes still feel like added later with having her only with one cast member onscreen (Rikuo at the beginning, Ryugi for the other scenes)
https://twitter.com/ProjectRED_Toei/status/1994934653858480603The other video.
bOUKEN SILVER ASS HELMET
>>23646225It's giving me pic related vibes
>>23646192None of the suit action scenes are reshoots.
>>23646233Why? Did you not like previous Space Sheriffs>>23646238I see Shirakura there, also what the fuck is that mech? And we can see the batteries
>>23646241Yeah I think I just find Haruka's voice sexier which is making me see it that way, sorry for my horniness blinding me
>>23646225Almost looks like a Bioman or Flashman-inspired helmet.
How was the 40th episode?
>>23646200anon it's still obvious every non-Sumino scenes are still what they originally shot before the recastif one of the reports is believable, they still shooting scenes without Sumino during the time Maya took a break and they haven't decide to change her or not
>>23646238Does anyone recognize anyone there besides Shirakura? There was someone who I thought was Inoue for a second but after looking closer it definitely isn't him he just has a similar hairdo
>>23646220>Properly paced without ten plotlines going off at once?That happens once in a while like the LuPat focus episodes and Bouquet amnesia arc. But, yeah, keeping the main focus to just 1 or 2 with a third one building up in the background is the way to go.
>>23646238Guess the producer for Gavan Infinity
>>23646225
>>23643672It didn't, Dekaranger is the most popular 2000s Sentai by far, winning the Seiun Award and receiving multiple post-show specials and movies.
>>23646219>>23646236What this Anon said, and in the transformation scene on stage.It looks like Kohaku was added later, over a "blank space".
>>23646240I feel like the fact that metal heroes never caught on is a bit of a sore spot for some people in toei. It seems a lot of kamen riders especially the auxiliary and enemy riders share a lot of design aspects from metal heroes and them ending sentai was their big chance to reboot the IP
>>23646249That's MinatoP
>>23646249
Couldn't shake the impression that Kohaku is there basically as a stand-in
>>23646245Excellent.
>>23646225I'm ready
>>23646256Where blind anon?>>23646249Shirakura is literally there in the scene before¡but it could also just be him doing QA assurance since he's mandated to do that
>>23646257
>>23646249It's Shirakura, even if the "official" one is someone else, they're effectively Shirakura's puppet as well as his potential fall guy.
>>23646245Unironically might be one of my favorite episodes from Gozyuger despite Ribbon's death feeling rushed
>>23646245Amazing how just an actress change brings up the mood of the whole cast. Great acting from Shida, really good despair acting from Bouquet. Gozyuger got the cleanup it 100% needed.
>>23646245Off to a good start but that's mainly due to how wonky the previous 2 episodes were.Got worried about how Bouquet's "Didn't she had a suspicion that Rikuo is Gozyu Blue?" thought from before gets shoved and, while I'm not a fan of literally dropping the fact Rikuo is the pilot of Tegasword Blue, I appreciate that they're actually going forward with it. Oh, the conflicted emotions with Bouquet and Fire Candle raging was nice.
>>23646258It's a shame. She should've been there all year. She's a much better actress.
>>23646267>>23646256Don't you ever get tired of posting the same thing every time?
>>23646258the fact that she's not even seen in the preview video
lost my sides when the reshooted opening just using that one Toei rooftop
>>23646272>man I wish this actress gets stuck doing only toku roles for the rest of her lifeCan always spot the fake fans
>>23646272If Sumino was really meant to be the "funny" hero like people said before Maya was completely missing the mark. -This- is what a funny heroine should act like.
>>23646249Is that Daiki Koide on the far left?
>they had Shida basically play Haruka again instead of SuminoEither she has no range or they're latching onto Haruka's popularity really hard. Or maybe it's both.Either way, Marupi is still the best actress in the show.
>>23646245Amazing actually
It's began
>>23646274Ask yourself that question.
She's so fucking cute bros
Imagine how Maya must be feeling.
>>23646288>female in the teamRuined again.
>>23646293qt witch!
>>23646294Who?
>>23646294Getting drunk and riding Asai's cock was worth Gojuuja.
I like Kohaku, but I miss Maya's Sumino.She had a different kind of "charm" that I liked about the character.Now I kind of feel it weird, "incomplete".
>>23646294unconscious and on life support for the past three weeks probably.
I didn't expect them to lay it on so thick with the actress change considering the circumstances that led to it, but ok.
>>23646293oh I think I get what they're doing >original version with Maya is Witch Sumino and Frankenstein's Monster Ryugi >reshoot with greenscreen in which these two got added to the actual location>Ryugi's costume got changed into Oni because references >the group transformation still keep the Franken Ryugi
>>23646279Yes Why do you think she hates Toku she keeps showing up in them
I presume this is the robot
>>23646293Look how happy he is to not be working with Maya.
>>23646311Also I'm not sure, but if I have to guess this is his gimmick item?
>>23646310>keeps showing upName a role she's appeared in that wasn't Donbros related after she was done with the show. You say this as if she's appeared in multiple shows already when all of her post show appearances have just been the post-show VS.
>>23646309Neat. I didn't notice.
They're even doing Haruka episodes playlist on the official Youtube.
>>23646168Zyuranger are still considered in their teens to 20s. The Ryusoulgers, on the other hand, have triple digit ages. I don’t remember the in-universe reason why.
>>23646321she's the main character, every episode is a haruka episode
>>23646293He looks so happy
>>23646315So?Why did you imply she hates doing it? Her last appearance as Oni Sister was literally last year.
>>23646314he uses cards too, wonder why we don't see them
>>23646245I need to marry her.
>>23646315i mean, some people in the stream said she did got roles in some dramas, she even acted alongside Maya in another show previous to Gozyuger.
>>23646294>The show literally says her character thinks she looks/sounds cuter with this new face and voiceInsult to injury!
>>23646289>no uAnon it's been years and you've been constantly seeing Minato in everything like a schizo even when it's impossible for him to get involved, you need to let goSame with the other anon who keeps pushing the Shirakura theory rather than trusting leaks and official statements like a normal person, like I would get blaming Shirakura for Gotchard and Gozyuger because it is indeed Shirakura's fault but "puppet producer" is the wrong terminology, and whenever that anon gets ousted when it's proven that he didn't influence another Toei show that hard he just uses the excuse "he was conveniently occupied at that time despite no source" and he weirdly disregards Shirakura being stated to be involved in the pre-production of other older shows since those older shows are good
>>23646294Smug, talentless bitches always get what's coming to them.
>Sumino's story arc got combined with Rikuo's >Ryugi's Tegasword armor debut in a Rikuo focus episode lmao
>>23646336>injurywell about that
>>23646334I said name a TOKU show she's appeared in since Donbros. Didn't know reading comprehension is that difficult for you, but I guess that's a given with a ESLfag>>23646328CONTRACTED WORK IS NOT LOVE FOR THE WORK. I JUST SAID KINGOH VS DONBROS DIDN'T COUNT CAUSE SHE WAS CONTRACTED TO RETURN
>>23646315She literally got a part in this movie solely cause of Donbrothers. It doesn't seem like she (or most recent actors for matter) are ashamed of doing Toku.
>>23646272The pay is too little. She's already got much better paying roles. This was an emergency and they had no choice but to call in a reliable and well loved and young veteran even if it costs them a whole series' worth for the remaining episodes.
>>23646339Maybe Bouquet fucks up Rikuo so much he can't get his armor debut yet
>>23646345Why are you so mean, bro
>>23646345>THIS THING THAT COUNTS DOESN'T COUNTDude you got problems.
Brightened image of Gavan Infinity
>>23646314Yeah, you can see the batteries right there.Mecha seems to have a gun on one of its arms.
>>23646272Toei has used Sentai and Rider as vehicles for upcoming talent for a while now. The last time a main Rider that wasn’t a newbie actor was Build. I don’t know what was the last Red that was like that.
>>23646350The emergency contract for 10 episodes must be WELL WORTH the paycheck, and she's hamming it up better than ever.
>>23646357Reminds me of Leonchannel's OC
I really liked the episode, the horror house, despite being late, had some Den-O comedy vibes. Really great to see, it feels like a weight as been lifted.That said, I don't like that the only "drama" in the show has nothing to do with the No.1 Battle, nor anything of actual consequence.The dramatic music and cliffhanger ending is reserved for... Bouquet realising after FORTY EPISODES that the dude who wears blue and is suspiciously always near No.1 Battles is GozyuBlue, and somehow it's bad that he killed Ribbon even though1. she was attacking him2. that's the nature of the No.1 Battles3. she herself fights people all the timeLike, by the last ten episodes of a series, we should be into HIGH DRAMA of the entire series arc, not "the semi-joke character female villain's schoolgirl crush is ruined". It's so juvenile.
>>23646357
>>23646357Its a boukenger reboot
https://twitter.com/risa_taufik/status/1994938098552377488Episode 40 clip.
So did they just ditch the plotline of Ribbon being secretly contemptful of Bouquet?
>>23646357looks like a bootleg Gavan
>>23646357Looks like Esteban.
>>23646360>The last time a main Rider that wasn’t a newbie actor was Build.That was Saber, Syuichiro Naito already on acting career since 2018.
>>23646368>G(avan) Den-OOh shit
>>23646371ribbon was only there to get bouquet's two plot lines moving finally. just like the alien yellow
>>23646357Well that's definitely Gavan mixed with Sharivan.
I had a feeling they would try and reuse the design, it really is in the shaping
>>23646225Glavin
>>23646306The whole show felt off with her in it. She couldn't really act to save her life. She was never even funny. The only one worse than her in recent memory was the female lead in that Kamen Rider show with Pokemon cards.
So because most of episode 40 turn out to be still from before the recast, I wonder how many episodes they shot before Maya left if we're counting from the shooting dates.Seems like they already shot until around episode 47 in October?
https://fxtwitter.com/ProjectRED_Toei/status/1994934653858480603 more gavan
>>23646371The ribbon she gave Bouquet will probably enable her to come back at some point. Maybe she even possesses Bouquet and Rikuo saves her.
>Ei still banking on Maya returning to the role somedayHoly fuck, Imamorinon really was him
>>23646389coincidentally Maya felt a connection with Reiyo because both are unicorn heroines with Shimozono as their suit actress
>>23646399Dialogue never said Tegasword's face change magic is permanent.
>>23646386>>23646249So then a drama division producer like Dekaranger, Zeztz and Ryusoulger comfirmed alongside Fukuzawa returning as action director or am I blind? I don't think Shirakura will be involved beyond pre-production but it does scare me that he's seemingly more involved than Tsukada in this one, Tsukada is usually better at coming up with ideas in pre-production.
>>23646409Fuck forgot the image with who I think is Fukuzawa?
Minors simply can't fucking act. They shouldn't use them for major characters ever again.
So Kohaku is just playing Haruka again.
>>23646414Yes, all Sentai staff is working for Project RED now
>>23645917>less dense and cringey than the oRiGiNaL stories they've come up with to try to appeal to the manchild and tumblrina audience they've cultivated.Care to elaborate? Haven't read any of the comics.
>>23646416Pretty much
Makes me think if they'll do Kohaku edit for 37 and 38 for the Bluray next year, although it's unlikely because too much work.
>>23646415Not true, Shida was a minor when she played Oni Sister.
>>23646429That's Cladis hidden in the No One isn't it. Hands on him, final NO One
From Akiba Red.
>>23646399I'm pretty sure Imamori-non offed himself a while ago.
>>23646429wait nvm, that would make the face change explanation in 40 not making sense
>>23646426What do you mean by that? You act as if you're surprised by seeing Toei staff returning for some retarded reason or am I reading your post wrong?
>>23646357It looks soulless.
>>23646436He would totally love this new Sumino
>>23646436I kneelI want a new Akiba ranger
>>23646288>the 6th is a f*malewow bold move
>>23646351Rikuo was the first one to use the TegaSword armor after Hoeru.
>>23646441Articulate further
One of Kohaku's official accounts finally acknowledged she's on Gozyuger. Interns must be swamped at her agency.
>>23646440I'm just replying to anon, you nigger. No need to be rude.
>>23646337You sound so mentally ill you'd probably kill yourself over this.
>>23646442she was only 8 year old when Akibaranger aired you sick fuck
>>23646310Successful actors don't do Toku for the rest of their careers.
Non-region lock trailer from Toei Tokusatsu World>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G-uXVPccMn8
>>23646449It looks generic.
>>23646459She hasn't either, she's been in several dramas since Donbrothers.>>23646457Awesome, I bet she sang and dance for him and had her parents buy all of the toys.
The beat in the teaser kinda reminds me of Shiro Sagisu's SSSS stuff.
>>23646461GAVANBROS WE BACK
>>23646461SENTAISISTERS WE DEAD
>>23646416I like her performance but she kinda went overboard with the comedy in some scenes.
Should I watch Space Sheriff Gavan before the new show?
>>23646473If you care about references, I guess, but they've alread said it's a completely new setting/worldview.
>>23646473Definitely, it's got Kenji Ohba too
>>23646473I would say it'll be quite different from the original Gavan, but I guess give it a watch anyway because Gavan is good fun. The "Makuu Space" sequences are psychedelic.
>>23646450Social media performance aside, I can't help but wonder how does she feel over the whole matter, being a replacement actress, and how does she feel about her counterpart.
>>23646416>>23646470Anons have mentioned it before, her post-Donbrothers roles all seem to just be notHarukas. Seems like she got typecasted or she really can't play any other kind of role.
>>23646399can't wait for the next face change
>>23646473Yes, it's better than any Sentai.
>>23646480I wonder if she actually talks with Maya for this.
>>23646486We will likely never know until 5 or 10 years has passed, when for an anniversary interview they will ask her how was and what did she feel over the whole experience.
>>23646200It would suck if she's only allowed to hang out with one Gozyuger at a time
>>23646461Super Hero Time will now be a Youtube thing
>>23646503Zeztz and Super Gavan Infinity will both be simulcast by Tokushoutsu, yep.
>>23646451I was legitimately asking I don't understand what your post means and now I'm more confused
>>23646453The mentally ill ones are the one who are almost daily posting the same things over and over again as if they have no job, I'll just never understand the rationale behind dedicating several days to one's life to post the same thing over and over again on social media unless it's a bot or if you two are somehow being paid for this
>>23646503Haven't they already been but only in Japan? This is just the first time both shows will be simulcasted>>23646473It's Toei, no shows are connected, wether you watch something or not will always depends if it seems interesting to you personally
>>23646509lmao you pushover bitches won't gatekeep shitEnjoy your retarded new fanbaseEnjoy never having a cop hero ever againEnjoy your niggerfaggot agenda
>>23646294well she's supposedly in a coma, so i'd say sleepy
https://x.com/kouheihiguchi99/status/1994918725938798876>I’ve turned 25 >When I was 24, I had wonderful encounters, was supported by everyone around me, and laughed a lot. It was truly a great year.>Turning 25 is an important milestone. I’ll cherish this year. I hope it becomes an even more wonderful one >Oh, and the broadcast starts today, huh. (Oni Sister, I’m cheering for you.)>Thank you in advance for supporting me at 25 as well!!
>>23646533Didn't he forgor?
>>23646531Why do you post here if you don't watch toku or /m/ stuff? Why not just enjoy your niggerfaggot agenda without bringing it to other people?
>>23646524You're seething way too hard over this, schizo. Just makes sure to not hang yourself on the way out, ok?
>>23646409Is that the OOO movie kid who became a producer? Think he finally got promoted to a vice producer?
>>23646514I think he just means that yes, all Sentai staff is working for Project RED now
>>23646529>It's Toei, no shows are connectedApparently the Project RED ones will be.
>>23646531based and true>gatekeepexcept this part, idk what the fuck you want us to do exactly. Toei couldn't even gatekeep their super hero shows.
>>23646294
https://twitter.com/risa_taufik/status/1994938588287598659Episode 40 opening.
>>23646389You're exaggerating.
>>23646544but will Infinity be connected to the original Gavan or the other space sheriffs? probably not.
>>23646554No anything pre RED will not be connected. Though Metal Hero was just lumped into a sentai streaming catalog today.
>>23646554It probably only when needed for crossovers but most of the time you can just watch the new show.
>>23646427Multiple intersecting and contradicting timeliness where rangers die, rangers turn evil, rangers die and turn evil, rangers have to fight their evil selves in alternate realities and die, timelines where all rangers ever die and the few left become edgy wastelanders surviving against evil ranger dictators that take over the world and use ranger soldiers with realistic AR rifles to enforce totalitarian rule, alternate realities where rangers give up on heroism and live sad miserable edgelord lives moping about how miserable they are, and endless stories about modern identity politics, imagine all of the above but they never forget to stop and lecture the reader not to be racists against non-gender normative minority half Southeast Asian half Aquitarian alien rangers.
So in which episode Kohaku won't look awkwardly inserted? They haven't finish filming until finale with Maya, right?
>>23646538>don't watch tokuI'm watching gojuuja, I'm just saying you guys have no balls.>>23646545Double down on the shit you love, literally that simple.Here argue with this>Ummmmm, the Dekaranger megazord literally shoots down illegal aliens, don't you think that's problematic?!?!?!?!?
>>23646427>>23646560>>23645917stop responding to yourself anon. writing an entire essay is retarded when you didn't even read the comics, you skimmed through wiki articles.
>>23646573all signs imply they actually finished filming the main eps. around the time the scandals went off. prolly im wrong here. but so far thats how things have been playing out.
>>23646531>Enjoy never having a cop hero ever againAnon, search what does sheriff means
>>23646582January episodes are filmed last October, I guess.
>If it's part of sentai then nobody else can distribute it on the westwhy did they even agree to this
>>23646593Takeyuki Suzuki being a dumbass in the early 1990s
>>23646593they really didn't think Japanese media would become popular around a decade later.
>>23646190This episode was terrible for the exact same reasons most of the show was.Not wanting to punch one of the characters isn't much on an improvement.
>>23646554The press release outright said it's a completely new worldview, so it sounds like it won't be connected to the old Gavan.
>>23646482Unironically, I wonder how Ei would feel if it was Mio Kudo who was announced as the replacement? Would he still be boner high for Maya?
>>23646254She moves a tad more than the rest when Rikuo claims he's the no1.Or maybe I'm seeing thins.
>>23646575How does talking like a schizo 24/7 equates having balls? If one likes something you enjoy it and support it if you don't then you do the opposite, so if Gavan ends up being shit people will overtly shit on it in japan just like it has always been
>>23646409>>23646414So Shin-ichiro Shirakura, Hiroshi Fuda and Hirofumi Fukuzawa comfirmed, that doesn't tells us muchI'm really desperate to know who's the producer and who's the writer so that I can know wether I should be scared or not
>>23646473No!watch Jiban instead
>>23646577Reading these actual Deviantart tier fanfics would cost too many braincells.
>>23646238Are any of these people seen in the teaser?
>>23646141Lol who cares unless you're an Imamorifaggot.
>>23646692It's insane how much better she is.Imamori should just off herself.
>>23646692Unbelievable upgrade. Shida is just as energetic and bimbo as she was years ago.
You now remember the flip Gavan knock-off back in 2008
>>23646595God I can't wait for that old jewish shit to die and for some based judge to throw that blatant bad faith deal in the garbage.
>>23646734>>23646595>>23646593>>23646609>still letting Saban live rent free in your head He hasn't owned Power Rangers in over 5 years
>>23646740huh? I never referred to the man himself, I'm aware Hasbro has PR now. That contract is on Hasbro's hands now.
>>23646720About that...
>>>/wsg/6040481RIP bitrate, catbox link:https://files.catbox.moe/vvxrok.webm
9 episodes of super sentai left
>Good:-the explanation about how Sumino asked tegasword for a plastic surgery for some detective infiltration op is not bad.>Bad:al the forced Donbros and onisister references. at least let this new Sumino BE Sumino. not Haruka cosplaying as Sumino.i guess do i have to expect the supposed third rider in Zeztz to do a lot of references to Rita too?
This is not Sumino....
Cops get too deep into their undercover characters all th time guys.
So TLDR on Shirakura interviewShirakura got bored of sentai, didn’t like that it got into a state of just be Japanese zeitgeist thing, doesn’t think colored team of individuals in uniform scheme work anymore when MCU and Avengers do it without the same 5 designs. Expects sentai to be revisited in 10 years but doesn’t really see the need. If it is will be vastly different to the last 50 years.
>>23646550Butthurt, Imamorifag?
>>23646803>i guess do i have to expect the supposed third rider in Zeztz to do a lot of references to Rita too?Not necessarily. Just going by the most recent example in Lakia, he didn't really had any references to Takamichi (unless you wanna count Vram's silver under suit as a callback to KirameiSilver). At most I guess you could expect her to do her autistic screech for whatever reason.
>>23646839No one cares about Kirameiger. Any reference to it would have fallen flat.
>>23646833>Super Sentai died because Shirashitter wants to ape cringe westoid garbage (By that retarded logic you could scrap Kamen Rider as well.)Oh my fucking god we are so fucked. FUCK YOU Shirakura, fuck you all the way to hell. I honestly hope that some based mf at Toei starts a corporate revolution and roots this fucker out.
>>23646740It's never about the person, it about the contract.Hasbro currently inherited it. As long as that contract never expire, they can't do anything.
this is the next 6 sentai members what do you think they'll be like?
>>23646844>I honestly hope that some based mf at Toei starts a corporate revolution and roots this fucker out.He will be there until the day he dies, he was even smart enough to start working through fall guys like Minato and Matsuura to avoid getting demoted for his fuck-ups like Takebe was.
>>23646803>al the forced Donbros and onisister referenceslegit hope they tone down these for the next episodes
>>23646850Slashing RedSmashing RedClawing RedBoner RedLighting RedFairy ass Red
>>23646852I think this is what Sumino's character will be all about from now on since she got robbed of her arc's conclusion.
>>23646833>Shirakura interviewSorry I'm blind, where can I read the full interview?
>>23646720>Imamori should just off herself.why
>>23646833Link your source so we know you aren't talking shit
>>23646621Maya have better gravure
So it really is Hasbros fault that Sentai is deadhttps://news.livedoor.com/article/detail/30103648/
Imagine if Kohaku is too busy for Gozyuger VS Boonboomger (or VS Sentai, whatever) and they go with Tegasword changing Sumino's face again.
>>23646874Why the fuck was Hasbro allowed to take Rangers off Bandai in the first place
>>23646874It's Toei and Bandai's own fault, Kamen Rider did well enough without overseas money.
>>23646856>>23646872https://digital.asahi.com/sp/articles/ASTCX2TK7TCXUCVL00SM.html?ptoken=01KB983D6PJT3BSFG410TWDEHM
>>23646877Because Hasbro's former CEO bought Power Rangers from Saban and with it, the toy license. Saban did them dirty by handing things to Hasbro. The CEO that had the big brain ideas for Power Rangers died and now Hasbro is left with a brand that they never really wanted.
>>23646844Shirakura see’s the old shows also as competition, citing many Japanese say the new shows don’t need to be seen as the formula is the same since battle fever.Shirakura also doesn’t like the fact that people just expect sentai to always be there, stating the next generation should have its own series. He was also frustrated that the show is expected to always have a robot fight and for the enemy to explode.
>>23646877Saban had been secretly planning that for decades alongside a close friend of his.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!”

>>23646886He'd have better luck begging the Chinks.
>>23646879Any chance you got part 2 of the interview?
>>23646883Shirakura's a faggot.
>>23646892Its paywalled so unless anyone signs up for the free trial or has a membership we won’t see it
>>23646879Thanks
>>23646890The chinks hate her too. It's only westoids that are wanting her back. All of Asia is against her
>>23646907That means China gonna skip Gozyuger after the Boonboomger broadcast there ends and just go with Gavan Infinity.
>>23646909They already have Gozyuger via Simulcast
>>23646911They're still on Boonboomger, I think you meant Hong Kong.
>>23646912Hong Kong and Taiwan to be exact
>>23646879Actually reading this, I don't think anything Shirakura says is wrong. He's basically said everything that people have been saying about Sentai for years, that it's been too conservative for too long and they're putting it on pause to give it a chance to reset and rethink how Sentai should operate.
Tokonatsu's comment.https://x.com/ko__nanase/status/1994999860156825863
>Ryugi left the team >return after about one month >Ribbon appears >dies after about one month why are they keep doing this
they really took a month off to figure shit out huh...https://x.com/leg10nofboom/status/1994995745477562709
>>23646926How do we know that was for a reshoot instead of the original recording?All of Suminos appearances in that scene are greenscreen anyway, with her standing off by the side
>>23646926>account based in united stateslol no
>>23646874this seems like a way bigger negative effect on Sentai than some supposed cockblock deal Saban had on Toei, why didn't it ever get brought up since the news dropped?
Which Gorenger has most Chemistry with Momorenger?
>>23646877The movie bombed and Haim gave up
>>23646844Anon you're a reading an anon post projecting his views rather than the actual interview >>23646874Shirakura says that the only thing that Avengers and Star Wars influenced in Project R.E.D is the show's being connected to one another, the ones Shirakura is actually trying to ape according to that interview are Kimetsu no Yaiba and Chainsaw Man, which honestly is only slightly better since aping Chainsaw Man is what led to shit like Revice
>>23646833>doesn’t think colored team of individuals in uniform scheme work anymore when MCU and Avengers do it without the same 5 designs.But that’s what made Super Sentai unique in the first place, it wasn’t a group of heroes banding together, it was uniform group of heroes fighting as a team. Plus, giant robots.
>>23646979Again, read the actual interview rather than some random anon's post, it was already linked in the thread
>>23646879So essentially>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 because they don't want to lose the already established Super Sentai audience 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>Despite them intending to make a show that appeals 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 and Chainsaw Man>Sentai is dying because its structure is restrictive, but Shirakura also says that a franchise is defined by having a shared limitation in their shows, in Project R.E.D's case it's the shared worldview and the emphasis of the color red>Super Sentai will still get specials and anniversary movies but it will definitely not get a mainline season until at least 10 years
>>23646982>>23646879Also it seems they haven't decided yet what the project after Gavan Infinity will be or who will do it despite the shared continuity but their main intent at the moment is for the next show to be even more experimental than Gavan Infinity
Episode Thread >>23646985
All I see is them continuing to ignore the elephant in the room of the real problem being shit toy design
>>23646991There's really not much Toei can do about it since this is mostly Bandai's fault, at least that's how I understand itBut then again I notice that in every show made by Omori, he gets extremely involved in the toy production, much more so than other producers, so maybe it's Toei's fault
>>23646998I don't know if it change but i remember at least for Rider, Bandai and Plex do at least pitch the Idea to Toei first before moving to proto stage(for Gaim at least) as Lock Seed came later.Then you also have Digimon Beatbreak where Toei ask for Bandai to filled the slot and Bandai didn''t gave them any toy or Merch pitch
Would it have been better if they had just not addressed the change at all? If they had just acted like nothing was different about her?
>>23646982Is that from part 2 interview?
>>23647007>Digimon Beatbreak where Toei ask for Bandai to filled the slot and Bandai didn''t gave them any toy or Merch pitchDidn't it the other way around? Fuji TV was asking Toei to fill their time slot because there was nothing to air
Happy birthday Rica Matsumoto!
>>23647024Boon boon!
>>23647022Yeah, but Bandai still own the IP and merch so Toei still have to ask Bandai for concept.Other than potentially shilling for Shambala lore, Beatbreak really devoid oft typical Bandai merch shilling other than characters acrylic stuff.Hell the whole Egg Digivice thing doesn't reek of toy.

>>23647061So many comments that're basically just more and more knives into Imamori's gut lol
https://x.com/karuma3960/status/1995043870443438293>I’m happy it got two nominations — no, really, I am happy! But…>the three-person simultaneous transformation scene = yeah, insanely cool!>the scene where he proposes to Hō = HUH!?>#HahahaLet’sGetMarriedHō>#Gozyuger
>>23647061She gets to see her sister in hero toku again for a bit
>>23646850Those are all Gavans new forms because it's cheaper to just have one guyrip sentai
https://x.com/asahicom/status/1994911762399826410>Reasons for Ending the Broadcast of the Sentai Series: Toei Executive Reveals the Background and Next Challenges>It is said that there were two "Black Ships" for Sentai.>"One is the arrival of the streaming era from the COVID-19 pandemic. With streaming, tokusatsu content now allows new and old works to be viewed side by side. For Sentai, not only Kamen Rider but also past Sentai works have become rivals.">"The other Black Ship is the major offensive of American comic hero stories. Marvel's 'Avengers' series is popular in Japan too. Whether it's Captain America or Iron Man, they take characters that were originally from separate works and package them together for delivery."
>>23647071Its not, its the ranger looking senshi's that all appear throughout the show sparingly. 1'st is Gavan's, Second is another space sheriff'sthe 3rd is the black wizard, 4th is Greens 5th is blues and final is white witch's
>>23647077So you mix Sentai and Metal Heroes into a big crossover pot and call it Project RED
https://x.com/hidetsuna324/status/1994934141570486596It was the sound guy's idea to have the Donbrother sound effect in the episode, Director Yamaguchi, Producer Matsuura, and Bandai gave the OK.
>>23647092Cheeky sound guy
Always blame hasbro
>>23646886Imamori gonna continue on suicide watch or became bitter for the rest of her life.
>>23647143Just pray that she won't actually do it because that's gonna be a shitty legacy for the last Sentai series and the franchise as a whole
>>23646886Nigga joined literally this month, could you at least try?
>>23647078So it's just Gozyuger minus the core team. Or KR Kabuto where the characters are on and off the show.
Damn, Dukemon is now out of a job gatekeeping the sentai leaks as if they were the Epstein files and putting it behind a paywall.
>>23647173He's such a fucking loser. Literally just got high of the fumes of being the "toku leak guy" when better actual leakers like color/lemon exist.
>>23647106They lose the PR license if they don't make a PR show right? It's only a matter of time.
>>23647178Quebomgers was the last PR season, like 3 years ago.
>>23647178No Saban/Hasbro get to keep it forever even if they're just sitting on it. The only way this ever gets undone is if whoever owns the license is desperate enough for a PR revival and can't get original stuff going so they come back to Toei to beg them to make Sentai again.
>>23646886Japanese people really respect their laws. It's kind of funny.
someone should travel back in time and prevent this contract signing from happening
So Sentai worked better when it was one year and then lost to the void, and now that previous seasons can still be seen people are flocking to the better shows?
>>23647209NTA but isn't there a rumor the contract expire on 2028?
>>23647219I don't think so. I'm pretty sure all they need to do is a pay a renewal fee, which Toei HAS to accept and they get it again for another long period on and on forever
>>23647209Imagine how surreal it would be if they made a new show with new footage but with older Sentai. Like Jetman or Liveman.
>>23647236While fun to think that would be impossible because of the quality of the footage compared to the modern scenes and how shooting original footage would be completely impossible due to the production stuff long having been lost.
So THAT is why Shirakura hates crossovers so much? He doesn't like people being reminded of older shows because they're still available now and he sees them as competition to the current stuff?
>>23647106So basically Hasbro killed Sentai when they bought the PR rights, because Bandai America PR merch kept Sentai holding it's own against Rider
>>23647167It's more likely gonna be like Rider where the lead shows up in every episode and the seconadry most of them but the rest show up sporadically. So only Red and the Sixth equivalent will always show up.
>>23647242And now Project RED has literally no strings attached, it can do whatever it wants.
I'm mad because the people screaming about how it was all Hasbro's fault have a point now and its going to be seen as the only factor for the hiatus as opposed to all the additional factors
>>23647237AI upscaling
>>23647252Stay madIf the issue is money then the international market is the solutionIf they can't sell Sentai overseas is because of Hasbro
>>23647237I mean make ALL original footage. They can't make MMPR forever. So maybe they'll have to go backwards since they'll run out of post 90s sentai to adapt.
>>23647252>I'm mad because I'm wrong
So the original leaks were magical and steampunk? Maybe Gavan visits different planets that has these Sentai-like heroes.
>>23647282I'm guessing that one or two of the other heroes besides Super Gavan will be magic based? Maybe some ninjas too like the rumors once said as well.
>>23646844>Kamen Rider takes a 10 year break from televised airing:Returns with greater relevance, making more money than ever, and now substantial international presence>Ultraman takes a 10 year break from televised airing:Returns with greater relevance, was making more money than ever and even managed to survive bankruptcy risks amidst multiple lawsuits trying to get their fully copyright back, and now has substantial international presence including international-debuting films and setting up a permanent live show infrastructure internationally>Super Sentai does not take a break:Power Rangers continuously eats its lunch, cannot develop a true international base because Power Rangers takes over the zeitgeist and ruins its marketability internationally, and becomes so dependent on Power Rangers that the second they stop making Power Rangers money the franchise begins to financially stumble downhill like Stephen Hawking down some stairs.>Shirakura:"It looks like Sentai could benefit from a break like the other two franchises.">You, for some reason:"FUCK YOU SHIRAKURA SUPER SENTAI IS PERFECTLY FINE CIRCLING THE DRAIN FOREVER I DON'T CARE IF IT'S A MONEY PIT NO ONE WANTS TO DO ANY MORE I NEED MY ROUTINE I CAN'T HANDLE CHANGE PLEASE DON'T MAKE ME BITE THE BULLET!!!!!!!"It was either this or going down like Garo it can't even afford to return. It's still going to be getting movies and TTFC specials, but they can't keep slamming their heads against the wall forever. Be happy it made it to 50 years. Not a lot of shows can say they did that.
>>23647290I think the other rumor was egyptian
>>23647063>gutyou mean arms
>>23646892>>23646901Found the part 2 interviewhttps://digital.asahi.com/sp/articles/ASTCX2TMZTCXUCVL00TM.html?ptoken=01KB9RKYTM3Y0XYZGAMK864135
>>23647293Blame the shithead who accepted a literal eternal contract with Saban. Imagine if the limit had been set at 20 years. Toei would have reaped all the benefits from Power Rangers and would have gotten it all back and had a cushion for Ninninger bombing with no Hasbro fuckery.
>>23647357The shithead who did that also wasn't Shirakura, that was Suzuki.I don't like Shirakura, but he's not the source of all ills in Toei toku and frankly is one of the spearheads behind it still existing because he's the one who chose to carry the hot potato that was a highly volatile arm of Toei's branding and has done so through pragmatic businessman moves, and this is a pragmatic businessman move.
>>23646987up on the mega folder.
>>23647242Hasbro getting the master license predates it getting PR entirely.Also, if anything, this means PR was helping sentai keep afloat and would've died earlier.

>>23647436
wonder if they keep the cutout somewhere
I miss her ngl. We spent 3 quarters with her.
>>23647246I don't think it's gonna make the money PR was bringing in worldwide
>>23647271>They can't make MMPR forever.If they start making original series and it doesn't bomb, they'll probably just make "upgrades" of MMPR, rather than going for other Sentai themes.
>oni joins the cast>everyone seems way happierWow, i still think maya is most likely innocent in every way but maybe she was a pain to be around
>>23647476>everyone seems way happiernah likely just Ryugi
>>23647271>They can't make MMPR foreverYou underestimate lazy incompetent businesses
>>23647462I wonder if they eventually get her again for future interviews like in the anniversary or something? They got the original Hana on Den-O anniversary event.
>>23646844going to be honest, the western hatedom for Shirakura seems to stem from the fact that he's willing to say the quiet part out loud in regards to the shows themselves
>>23647406Uh-huh
>>23647493Not really, it's mostly due to Decade, the SHT/KRT movies and Zi-O.
>>23647493You’re responding to bait
Asai getting a less harsher punishment is weird though. Even if Maya started the thing, him being a married man and older would make him more liable to the crime since he definitely knows better than getting too personal with the cast.
>>23647524There was no 'don't cheat on your wife' clause in his contractThere was a 'As 1/5th of our franchise face for the year you shouldn't get drunk, retard' clause in her contractAsai was on his way out, there's no career to ruin because the career was basically over, he might get fucked over in the divorce but that's his problem.
>>23647524I dunno what Islamic nation you're from but having sex with another person out of wedlock isn't actually a crime in most of the world.
>>23647499Also him reeeeeing like a retard about interconnected story elements in Heisei Rider and basically sabotaging people who wanted to do things like Foundation X as late Heisei Rider's overarching nemesis.
>>23647524His profile is still on JAE website, right?
>>23647538>I dunno what Islamic nation you're from but having sex with another person out of wedlock isn't actually a crime in most of the world.You're clearly not from one because the guy generally gets away with it in those places while the woman has to get married to him or face capital punishment.
>>23647570>You're clearly not from oneYeah, that's why I said I don't know. Any other wise koans, Einstein?
>>23647493He's an out of touch boomer who projects way too much. Who the fuck genuinely believes that older Sentai are a threat to newer Sentai?
>>23647491Hana's actress didn't leave the show due to a massive scandal that tainted the franchise's reputation.
>>23647575You ever see a conversation about show recommendations? Most newer shows get critical commentary followed by suggestions of older shows. That's what he's talking about. Newer shows have to compete with the availability and acclaim older shows already have now more than ever.
>>23647293The only chance Sentai has to make a successful comeback is if Shirakura is no longer in control of it by then. His 5 year plan to revitalize Sentai was largely a failure and the franchise's worst period by far (I'm not talking about the shows' quality, just their success).
>>23647583Prior to his 5 year plan, the series was simply going to end at Kiramager. He got it to the 50 year milestone. Sentai survived this long purely out of spite and basically pity. Every other franchise got a 10 year break and revitalized. This'll do better for Sentai than anything. Or do you define your existence by your favorite show never taking a break?
>>23647024Would
>>23647575It's true if only because old smash hits like Gokaiger and Dekaranger now don't go away after their year is up like things did in the 80s and 90s.
>>23647586>Prior to his 5 year plan, the series was simply going to end at Kiramager. He got it to the 50 year milestone.According to who? This is just a headcanon made up by his cocksuckers here.
>>23647491She's cancelled she's done. People on SNS already want nothing to do with her and are accusing her of tainting the brands image
>>23647535Yet he got a little blurb that he was stepping down for 'health reasons'. I'm not saying Maya didn't do anything wrong, but the difference in treatment is weird. Why isn't the media chasing after him? Why is the media more interested in the younger female? If the suicide attempt is real, are they all gonna change their tone? "Imamori Maya attempted suicide due to harsh comments from the media" Are they all gonna act like they weren't part of the domino effect? idk it's just a weird thing I've noticed, or (I guess to make you happy) a thing I made up cause I'm a 'gooner simp'
>>23647593Some believe that because TV Asahi and Toei aren't pressing charges there's a chance for her return. Wishful thinking I'm sure. We really won't know what everyone else thinks until I guess NDAs are cleared off.
>>23647592Netabare-san's leaks were pretty much only consistently correct around Ryusoulger forecasting (barring color layout, and even then he corrected himself with the correct order before anyone else), and he explicitly said Ryusoulger's not performing well enough and is outright alienating staff. Kiramager was one of the most blatantly low-budget and "back-to-basics" Sentai has been in a long time and tried to compensate with more acclaimed names (including pulling Tsukuda out of what was effectively retirement). The only post-Kiramager plans we know of by that point were mentioned by Omori himself where he stated he coordinated with Kamihoriuchi behind the scenes for Kingohger for a few years then basically pushed it in at the last minute when Toei couldn't say no.What do you think they were going to do after Kiramager, anon? Based on all the information we have available, what do you think they could've done that isn't just "Blame Shirakura" when he basically only got his hands back on Sentai after it bombed for three years in a row?
>>23647579>>23647591None of the newer Rider shows like Build, Zero-One and Geats is any less successful just because Den-O is on streaming. The general public will always flock to the newest thing because it's new and hot, even if they have already watched a past show they liked a lot.You're all retards just like Shirakura.
>>23647595suicide over societal pressure is nothing new in Japan
>>23647601Zero-One and Geats had the benefit of international official releases, and anon do you wanna tell me which Kamen Rider they brought back during the Build-Zi-O Winter movie to generate buzz?
>>23647600Netabare-san said Shirakura wanted to replace Sentai with a franchise that suited his tastes better.
>>23647606>Zero-One and Geats had the benefit of international official releasesDo you seriously think Shout's shitty Blu-rays had any impact on those show's receptiom in JAPAN? Rider doesn't need the western audience to survive, it's just a drop in the bucket for its finances.>and anon do you wanna tell me which Kamen Rider they brought back during the Build-Zi-O Winter movie to generate buzz?Yes, and? That didn't negatively affect the popularity of any of the modern shows I mentioned. What kind of boneheaded logic is that?
>>23647606>Kamen Rider they brought back during the Build-Zi-O Winter movie to generate buzz?Not the ones they intended because Suda was fully booked, so they managed to snag a fan favourite for approximately 15 seconds of screen time.
>>23647607Shirakura himself stated he has the 5 year plan, and Netabare-san's description of Shirakura's franchise concept of "Humanoid hero who becomes a giant robot" is literally something both Zenkaiser does in his super form and the Donbrothers do in their Robotaro forms.
>>23647613>Do you seriously think Shout's shitty Blu-raysBlu-rays? No. Streaming? Probably. I'd argue further but you're being intentionally obtuse because it's easier to say the guy who actually has all of the behind-the-scenes information doesn't know what he's talking about than admit Sentai was fucked and giving it a 10 year recovery coma is the only viable move at this point.
>>23647622Rider is extremely niche in the west, you are heavily overestimating the western audience's impact on the franchise up until now. The target audience are still the Japs, the sales charts we get are from sales made in Japan alone.>the guy who actually has all of the behind-the-scenes information doesn't know what he's talking aboutThis is the same guy who still hasn't figured out the reason why crossovers are successful and who keeps saying he has finally figured out a strategy to make Sentai successful again only for it to fall flat on its face time and time again, he can and has been wrong before.
>>23647640>This is the same guy who still hasn't figured out the reason why crossovers are successfulGiven his (Shirakura) pathological dislike for the idea of two shows existing in the same share univere (Black/Black RX and Kuuga/Agito), he probably has to twist himself into knots to explain why fans are receptive to crossover movies.
>>23647656Except Project RED is explicitly meant to be a contiguous shared universe
>onikawaiiholy based, this episode is like they are spitting all over the face of the old Unicorn actress.Best part is giving a stupid off-screen reason why she changed the appearance.
>>23647657Project RED is a desperation move that wouldn't have existed if the 5 year plan hadn't failed.
>>23647703>>23647657RED really seems like a Tsukada idea. He's the one beside Ohmori that goes for interconnected stuff like Foundation X (it was his brainchild) and he's also the guy they gave the Space Sheriffs to after the Gavan movie didn't perform to expectations.
>>23647721Going straight for "Gavan" feels like Shirakura though. Also, the part about this being a new world unrelated to the previous Gavan.But, yeah, all the talk about Project RED having crossovers that expand the worldview of the series involved feels pretty unlike Shirakura. He really never seemed to care about that aspect before, always seeing crossovers as standalone gimmicks.
