The prototype anniversary Gavan suits look great, now I wish that the Gavan movie by Hikasa had repurposed the designs >>23653395
Super Sentai sex with Gremlin
>>23653684she's so attractive
>>23653634Why should I care? It's not sentai
>>23653634Infinity looks mediocre and is the one that looks the least like Gavan despite being the only one that's actually supposed to look like a cop. Silver looks amazing and I think I honesty like it more than the previous 2 Gavan designs, although I still prefer the Sharivan and Shaider designs. I also really Golden but it doesn't feel fitting for a girl design, specially the helmet.
>>23653708The talk about Gozyuger it's not that hard.One thing I'm worried about Gozyuger is that I feel like there's not enough time to resolve the Tsutsumi plot line and I'm beginning to believe that the actual competition will get resolved in the VS. Super Sentai movie while the main story will focus on resolving the calamity and TegaJune which kind of feels like copout but I guess it would be better than rushing the plot even more.
What's this about?
>>23653684I wish they brought her back sooner. Imagine how much more fun the show would have been, and I'm saying that as someone who has been enjoying the show a lot.
>>23653717>Tsutsumi plot lineit'll be rushed just like everything else, holy fucking shit they don't even have time to wrap up a storyline they set up in the FIRST EPISODE
>>23653725Eh it would have only marginally improved the show since the pacing issues would still remain, but yeah I wish this would have happened during a period without Tsumino focus episodes so that we wouldn't have lost two episodes, I feel bad for the actor of Yanma's right hand getting his episode deleted.
>>23653721why we had to put down faithful old yeller despite 50 years of faithful service and apparently a lot of MCU penis envy from Toei.
>>23653721Basically just summarizing stuff we already knew:>"PROJECT R.E.D.": The Tokusatsu Resurrection Operation on the Ruins of Super SentaiThe announcement to "pause" production of the five-color Sentai series, or Super Sentai, right after No.1 Sentai Gozyuger in 2025 shook fans worldwide like a magnitude 9 earthquake. Amid the swirling dust and smoke, Toei is not retreating; they are secretly preparing a new weapon called "PROJECT R.E.D.". The questions are: How did this project come about? And what exactly is it?>Originating from a "Faith Crisis" and the "Red Number"The origin of PROJECT R.E.D. isn't glamorous, it comes from a business "dead end". In an interview, a top executive, Mr. Shin-ichiro Shirakura, revealed the painful truth: Super Sentai toy sales are in a "total collapse" state compared to Kamen Rider and Ultraman. Sentai toy sales plummeted to only 6.5 billion yen, while Rider toys hit 30 billion yen. Additionally, losing the Power Rangers toy license to Hasbro wiped out massive overseas revenue. Moreover, the new generation of kids doesn't watch TV, they watch YouTube and play mobile games. They also face a high bar set by Marvel (Avengers), which defined team-hero standards.Toei realized that "if we keep pushing the same old way, we’re doomed", so they made the boldest decision in 50 years: to "stop" in order to "restart.">From the "Universe Heroes" Rumor to the Real "PROJECT R.E.D."Early on, fans heard heavy rumors about the name "Universe Heroes," which was actually just a codename used internally for hype. The real name is PROJECT R.E.D., which stands for Records of Extraordinary Dimensions.The core concept is to "cut through the crowd" by blending the DNA of Super Sentai (teamwork, the red ranger, giant robots) with the DNA of Metal Hero (metal armor suits, space science, realism). The goal is to create a new type of hero that appeals both to kids who love coolness and adults who crave classic style.(1/2)
>>23653773>The First Bet: "Super Space Sheriff Gavan Infinity"The first product of Project R.E.D. to replace the original Super Sentai time slot is the revival of the space police legend under the name Super Space Sheriff Gavan Infinity. Intriguingly, it introduces the "Gavan 3 Colors", reflecting the changing times:1. Red Gavan: Represents the spirit of the "Sentai leader" in metal armor form. 2. Silver Gavan: Symbolizes the traditional classic "Jouchaku".3. Gold Gavan: Represents new power and the catchphrase "Chou Gabai" (meaning Super cool Giban", possibly Gyaru slang—confirmation pending).>Behind the TechnologyToei is innovating by using LED Wall Studio technology for filming, the same used in The Mandalorian and Ohsama Sentai King-Ohger. This solves long-term budget challenges and creates realistic space scenes without relying on traditional locations.PROJECT R.E.D. is not just a new TV series; it’s the latest lifeboat meant to carry the tokusatsu kingdom through the storms of the Digital Disruption era. On December 25th, a full trailer will be released. Let’s wait and see if this universe-merging gamble marks the end or the dawn of a new golden era.(2/2)
One of these people will be the head writer of Gavan Infinity, who do you want or who do you think is the most realistic choice?>Kazuki Nakashima>Riku Sanjo>Keiichi Hasegawa>Yuji Kobayashi>Akatsuki Yamatoya>Shou Aikawa>Kento Shimoyama>Nobuhiro Mouri>Minato Takano>Kaori Kaneko>Atsuhiro Tomioka>Hiroshi Yamaguchi>Tatsuto Higuchi>Natsumi Morichi>Kenji Konuta>Chinatsu Hojo
I forget if this was posted already but just in case Stinger's actor will be changing his stage name after his next album in order to "start fresh"
>>23653774Does this mean each Gavan has a different henshin phrase? Infinity will use "Koeru", Silver will say "Jouchaku" like the previous Space Sheriffs and Gold will say "Chou Gavan"?
>>23653786Kazuki Nakashima would be the best case scenario, if not him Minato Takano specially now that Project R.E.D is a bit closer to the Shounen demographic but the likeliest choices are Kaori Kaneko, Natsumi Morichi, Nobuhiro Mouri and Tatsuto Higuchi in that order, out of those Higuchi is the only choice I would actually like.
Gavan Pop Up shop merch, wonder how will they handle crossovers between Project R.E.D, Metal Heroes and Super Sentai, like will Space Squad come back and basically a messy crossover mini-series like Outsiders?
Severe outsider here, I just wanna make sure I have this straight; So they "cancelled" SS and are replacing it with VR Troopers despite the fact that people who like SS are into 5-color bodysuit/helmet fighting behind like Buick factories, and not robopig power trios in space, and this is supposed to make us what, beg for sentai-as-usual and not take it for granted? The toy argument sounds like bullshit.
>>23653823Super Sentai has been a constant commercial failure ever since 2015 despite being constant critical success ever since 2020, they actually were supposed to cancel the franchise back in 2021 but they were able to negotiate extending it 5 more years, but since sales only improved slightly they pull the plug on the franchise and start a new one where every season is actually connected but retaining some Super Sentai DNA such as Red protagonists and Mecha. However because they don't confidence that a new franchise could survive in the market, they decided that every entry should be a revival of old shows from the Studio, in this case Gavan (the first entry of the franchise Metalder belongs to, which is what then got adapted into VR Troopers) despite these shows actually having nothing to do with the old ones.Picrel are the domestic sales of Super Sentai from 1994 onward, anything below 8 billion is seen as a failure and in Kyuranger's case they went overbudget so it's still considered a failure despite sales increasing. The cause for the decline of domestic sales is that Mecha toys from other companies are mostly better than Super Sentai and the toy designers only decided to improve their tactics with Donbrothers before going back to making shit toys. They lost their star power helping sales due to Ninninger being being a mediocre show while the franchise Yokai Watch was completely dominating the market and making other franchises sell less that year, then up to Ryusoulger while not terrible the shows were a farcry from the expected quality of the franchise. Now they should have been able to compensate with Power Rangers sales, but the owner of the IP sold it to Hasbro meaning the Japanese gain no money from Power Rangers, and their contract doesn't allow them to release Super Sentai and media related to it outside of Asia, so making a new franchise to circumvent the issue is more feasible financially.
>>23653823 >The toy argument sounds like bullshit.No, Super Sentai has been selling for shit for a decade now. It might as well be running at a loss. But yes eventually interest will reach a boiling point and they'll make a new Sentai years down the line. It's the same strategy Capcom uses for Mega Man nowadays. >Release Merch and other Legacy IP related stuff to keep Interest>Keep main seller e.g a new Sentai Series out of reach>Eventually interest will boil over>Release new series>they maximise profits >repeat
>>23653823Sentai has been selling like shit in Japan despite the past few shows being good, and they can't get money outside of Asia because of a shitty contract they made with the old Jew owner of Power Ranger who has been passing the OP to other jews. They are now making a new franchise that can actually profit globally, but in case it fails they're releasing anniversary movies of Super Sentai to keep the franchise in people's minds and be able to go back after 5 or 10 years of this new franchise. If the new franchise actually succeedes then they won't go back.
>>23653823Toysales are the lifeblood of the franchise. The ratings cratered a long time ago that they are dependent on the toy sponsors (Bandai). Because the toy sales have been bad, the franchise has been on life support for nearly a decade, which caused them to make more and more risky gambles like Lupinrange/Patranger, Ryusoulger, Zenkaiger and all of Shirakura's 5 year plan bullshit. And all of these gambles haven't paid off. Toei has thrown both their dumbest and their best (Shirakura, Tsukada, Ohmori) people at this problem and none of them have managed to change the underlying problem: lackluster demand for the toyline domestically in Japan and they can't expand outside of Asia because of Hasbro/Saban.So they retooled Super Sentai into SuperSentai+Metal Heroes//VR Troopers to better expand internationally to maybe get some sweet international money. We don't know if it'll even work. I'm honestly doubtful.But yes they are making Sentai more like VR Troopers because the Sentai brand is doing terrible.
So we're all moving to /prg/ - Powerful Rangers General when Gozyuger ends, right?
h*ckin epic meme fellow redditor
>>23653863Power Rangers are literally for boomers. They are in a worse hole than Super Sentai, which is the whole reason Saban pawned them off to Goldner in the first place.
Sentai related, but is there a chance of this ever getting fully translated? Just read all the available chapters and was really enjoying it. Haven't watched the show yet, it came out during my Toku break.
>>23653863No, /ssg/ will just share space with Project R.E.D>>23653886There's no group working on it at the moment, I considered translating it once but gave up translating manga all together since it's not fun and I don't have much time due to my job. But at the very least the RAWs are really easy to find. I don't know if there's a space to shill manga to groups so that they can get translated.
>>23653893>/ssg/ will just share space with Project R.E.DAs /pred+ss/
>>23653883How? PR just has to move away from MMPR while litterally nothing improved Sentai sales. PR failed because it isn’t doing enough and Sentai failed even after it did everything
>>23653912PR will do even worse if it moves away from MMPR.
>>23653914Except that isn’t true. PR lasted 10 years on Nickelodeon and that was successful
>>23653893Yea I figured I'd ask here first and then go from there. I'd figure if the drama was popular the manga would've already gotten translated, but I'm not really sure how that world operates
>>23653886Either use lens or scanlate io since there's no group translating it if you're really desperate, otherwise it's better to wait>>23653912Power Rangers has been both a critical and financial failure ever since it was sold to Hasbro, and unlike Toei and Bandai, Hasbro and Disney have been bleeding money throughout most of their ventures lately although granted they're so goddamn rich that it hasn't become a problem to them yet. Ultimately Power Rangers hasn't been able to obtain new fans and their old fans mostly stick to the comics rather than actually watching new shows.With Super Sentai at least the shows themselves are actually enjoyed in Japan ever since Kiramager, the problem is just how much the toys suck and how they're not able to do as much mixed media projects like Kamen Rider and Ultraman due to the Power Rangers contract.
>>23653917It didn't do at all the numbers the franchise used to and Nick eventually dumped it
>>23653918Same, I thought the drama was popular since I've seen it discussed a lot so I'm surprised the manga has yet to be translated, I wonder if there's a schizo harassing translation groups that attempt to work on it like how it happened with every Kamen Rider manga that isn't Spirits.
Watch them do Mighty Morphin for the umpteenth time
>>23653924>>23653912Power Rangers also has the issue that the "going fully original" dream even if it happens will really increase production costs. We'll see how long that show lasts if this one even makes it to airing, unlike the previous attempt.
>>23653931What else can they do? If they do some original non Sentai based Ranger team the average opinion is gonna be why should we care about these chucklefucks?
After Boukenger, which seasons are likely to get an anniversary movie?I'm surprised they didn't do anything with Ohranger despite getting everyone from the cast back for the anniversary event or that Ninninger and Go-Busters didn't at least get a TTFC special or something.
>>23653932Doing an original show shouldn't cost more than your average Disney+ show so it isn't a big deal, the problem is that for some reason most westerner directors don't know how to make live-action mecha and they go unnecessarily overbudget and the staff they got for this new Power Rangers show doesn't bring much hope.
>>23653937Go-Busters has the stink of failure in Toei’s eyes and Ninninger is responsible for the decline.
>>23653912>PR just has to move away from MMPR>justLol good luck with that
>>23653937I wish they made a Shinkenger 20 years after with Kobayashi writing and Utsunomiya producing.
>>23653937Geki didn’t do well due to Den O but those guys are still out there a ting their asses off, would be an easy pick.
>>23653863Why did they have to specify that it's live action when it's always been live action?
>>23653937Ninninger and Go-Busters didn't do well, after Kamen Rider Blade got stuck with stage shows, in spite of reuniting the cast and having a sequel story ready, it should be obvious they won't make V-Cinext for shows that didn't do well originally.Ohranger not getting one is kind of surprising, but I guess there's the matter of show vs toys.>>23653940>Doing an original show shouldn't cost more than your average Disney+ show so it isn't a big dealI mean, it kind of IS a big deal if you want multiple seasons and such. Look at how many of those shows end up with just one season. When people look forward to this Disney+ season, they're generally expecting a "revival" of Power Rangers, not just a one-off short season.
>>23653936The west is really bad about genwunnerism. There are a lot of people who refuse to acknowledge or accept things beyond the "original" no matter the quality of what came after or even if that original was never good to begin with.
>>23653931That’s all they know. It’ll be nu-MMPR Season 1 all over again.
>Toei kodomo IPs are becoming slightly more matureWhat does this imply? They're still classified as kid shows aside from Digimon but now the line between Kodomo and Shounen feels more thin
>>23653937Gekiranger is done by Tsukada so it should be fairly easy to do an anniversary movie since the cast is so tight-knit. Kyuranger's cast also doesn't seem difficult to get but with Mochizuki demoted it seems unlikely to get a special, although I could see it getting a crossover with Project R.E.D due to space. Otherwise Carranger cannot get an anniversary because Yellow Racer passed away, Megaranger at most can get a stage show or maybe an animated project since multiple of its rangers became voice actors but then again Toei seems to be unable to make Super Sentai anime due since they can't release them on western platforms due to the Saban contract and Zyuohger cannot get anything because Leo disappeared and Tusk quit after the incident.
>>23654020>What does this imply?Birthrate problem.
>>23654020the people interested in these shows are getting older
>>23654054The point is to appeal to kids regardless if they're familiar with franchise or not, it's not meant to follow their ageOnly Build was actually meant to appeal to adults because its producer thought it would be the last Heisei shows so he wanted the show to feel like a reward for people that ha stuck with the franchise this long, Super Sentai on the other hand never had a show like that, if a show felt more mature than usual it was usually incidental
>>23653912>PR just has to move away from MMPRThat's all Hasbro wants it to be, it's the Gen One problem but even worse. I'd bet good money on the toy offerings for any season past that still being basically nothing five years from now, if they get anything at all.
>>23653786Personally I want Chinatsu Hojo because Ebichu's writer doing a toku sounds hilarious
>>23654020Digimon being aimed more at teens is really nothing new, it just goes on and off with it.
Why did Shirakura step down as president? His time in charge was the most stable Heisei toku ever was
>>23654028>Tusk quit after the incidentHe literally just joined Junretsu's younger brother group which also have Tokatti.
>>23654069You're right with it and Rider but Beatbreak is the first time a mainline show is classified as a Shounen rather than Kodomo, even though games, movies, stage shows and spin-off shows like Tri were either Shounen or Seinen, Beatbreak is the first time one of these Toei IPs straight up abandon their demographic.
>>23654097Digimon has since Xros Wars taken the step to target older demographics. Unlike Pokemon, the games abandoned aiming for kids after Super Xros Wars for the DS failed to hit with the target, but was noticed to do well with High School and College ages who grew up with Digimon. The toy line for Xros Wars was also pretty bad.Beat break might be an experiment to see how well Digimon anime can do with older audiences in the same way the games switched focus.
>>23654028>Megaranger at most can get a stage show or maybe an animated project since multiple of its rangers became voice actorsOnly blue & yellow that still active on entertainment side, the rest is retired and doing regular jobs which ironically fits with their character, like red open yakiniku restaurant and black becoming soccer coach at school.
>>23654032>>23654060>>23654097>>23654103Even one of Toei Animation's members mentioned the birthrate issue.https://arch.b4k.dev/vg/thread/545144418/#q545148815https://realsound.jp/movie/2025/05/post-2015270_2.html
>>23654131this is why the Japanese must fuck more
>>23654129All 5 Megaranger actors were in Sentai Red Isekai for the one episode. The rest all jumped at the chance when Blue asked them.For a movie or special or something, they could probably easily get them back together if it was something animated. Unlikely, but not impossible.
>>23654137Japanese women don’t fuck NEETSThe men who work are too tired
>>23654028>Toei seems to be unable to make Super Sentai anime due since they can't release them on western platforms due to the Saban contractFuck, is this why we always got Sentai-parody anime/manga instead of actual spinoff from the official Sentai?I don't really count the King-Ohger and Boonboomger manga because they felt like the usual supplementary manga in magazines.
>>23654103why does a nagging part of me feel like they're using "target the adults" as an excuselike fuck, as shitty as the toys were, I was hoping for an OmegaShoutmon/ZGreymon/Shoutmon X7 figure but didn't get any.
>>23654131So it's true, Abe was Super Sentai's secret patron-sponsor-godfather...
>>23654152The idea behind Xros Wars toyline wasn't bad, the combining gimmick of XW as a whole appeals to me since I love combining mecha. And I do like the Shoutmon Xros stuff.But the Xros Wars toys were ass. Their cheapness prevented them from really taking advantage of the gimmick.Meanwhile, we know the game stuff since it came directly from the one heading up the games at the time, Habu. He talked how he worked to convince them to try something new with what he noticed in terms of who was buying it, and why starting with Re;digitize the games all targeted older audiences. And their success with that gave them more freedom, and we got stuff we never would have gotten before.Its easier to target older audiences with video games. Its a singular product with a one and done sale, maybe DLC later nowadays.
I refuse to believe the birthrate shit is anything but propaganda
All these talks about Xros Wars make me remember one of the rumor saying Gavan Infinity will be similar to it or something? Maybe about the different groups/types like sheriff, samurai, witch, and maybe more?
>>23654177>Habuthanks, I know who to send my ire on the shitty "pet raising" follow ups from World 1, didn't know he had a hand in themapparently he's gone after Time Strangers
>>23654145There's barely any Sentai novels too (Hurricanger and Shinkenger have one) like there is for KR (Build not withstanding). I just think Toei still treats it as KR for pre-schoolers regardless of Saban/Hasbro.
>>23654182Population | Live Births | Deaths
>>23654182>>23654197Forgot the source cause I'm retardedhttps://www.mhlw.go.jp/english/database/db-hw/populate/dl/E01.pdf
>>23654189I'm not a fan of the World style either. The original was unique and more experimental in a time where gaming was still find a footing. But Next Order wasn't very good, and it felt really imbalanced and not very friendly to exploring if you weren't fully evolved even early into the game. The Story games like Cyber Slueth and Time Stranger being more traditional RPGs is way more enjoyable.
>>23654193I think I saw Shinkenger novel cover but just heard about Hurricaneger got one.
>>23654200but I also hate temu-SMT though, I just want a modern but fresh take on W1unironically I would play a digimon-skinned version of the recent tamagotchi game
I fucking hate LuPat. If /krg/ has the Saber seether, then it's LuPat for me. I fucking hate Lupat. Hate. HATE.
>>23654229wow haha do you wanna become the next thread mascot
>>23654232Fuck LuPat. Fuck Komura's writing. Fuck Noel. Fuck Lupin favoritism. Fuck Kazusa Okuyama's husband. Fuck the nips who think the show is peak. Fuck Asai. Fuck Maya Imamori's shit taste
>>23653863
>>23654237I can't help but pllaugh when Tokunay feels at the top of the world because his designs are used only to seethe when they use AI
Goodeburn? Who dat
>>23653994There were rumors about a cartoon a while ago.
>>23653893>>23653900No, it will be /ttg/, where we will discuss the OG Gavan, other Metal Heroes, and other Toei Toku that Project RED apes.
>>23654263Gavan is part of Project RED now so we're still /pred+ss/
>>23654263>/ttg/Tabletop gaming? Saban made a Powerful Rangers rpg but it sucks. /tg/ is a different board, anon.
>>23653501>DogengersI need to watch more local tokusatsu, because non-human toku suit girls like this absolutely rev my engine.
>>23653900/red+ssg/ is also good
>>23654266>Gavan is part of Project RED nowNot really, Gavan Infinity is, which is not exactly the same thing as Gavan despite the name. Gavan is still part of Metal Heroes. But since two inspirations for Project RED (Sentai and Gavan) are being discussed, we might as well discuss all the others.
>/gtg/ - Good Toku General
>>23654237This isn't the Disney+ show (which we've still seen nothing of) btw
>>23653863>>23653900/pred+ss/Power Rangers, Project RED and Super Sentai General
>>23654280>/dtg/ - Dead Toku GeneralFtfy
>>23654197nta but it is worth keeping in mind that Japan is roughly the same size as Britain and still has 50 million+ more people.
>>23654086i have looked at this picture multiple times and i still cannot tell which one is tokatti
>>23654306It's pretty obvious who Tokatti's actor is, anon.
>>23654310i unironically can't tell
>>23654285Fuck off prfag
>>23654275oh yeah, he's going to use the Gokaiger power next episode. Regular ring would turn people into Ranger keys, will using it on Goodeburn turn him into a past mecha?
>>23654312>Arr rook same
>>23654320Gokai-Oh arms
>>23654325Most likely scenario. I'll take it.
>>23654306far right
>>23654325are Goodeburn's arms in the toy removable?
>>23654131Rita won the debate.
>>23654361Yes, he can swap arms.
>>23654289Coincidentally nearly all of western Europe is also facing a population crisis and is bringing in foreigners en masse to inflate their numbers.
Favorite endings to sentai shows you’ve seen?Mine are Zyuranger, Ohranger and Flashman. I think I’ve seen about nine Sentai shows fully, with a bunch of others that I still need to finish.
>>23654407I thought Dekaranger's ending was very satisfying, though it's the kind of show that could've literally just went forever if they felt like it because of the criminal case format.
Why don’t they do what they did with Kamen Rider BlackSun and make an adult oriented Sentai show.
>>23654355thank you
>>23654416You mean Avengers?
>>23654416Why do you want a Sentai version of Black Sun? Black Sun was terrible.
I want a Sentai show with titties, violence, ultra grim dark, Rangers from fucked up home life.
>>23654229thats cool, i only like the suits and the girls
>>23654424Fag
>>23654416Akibaranger was their take on that, it's just it was still comedic and light hearted, just for an older audience.Maybe it's due to the lack of a figure comparable to Ishinomori to give it some historical basis, but they just don't seem to think a "serious" Sentai without some of its signature goofier traits would work.
>>23654504Akibaranger is "adult" Sentai done right
>>23654407Liveman end was kino. I love when the team reflected over how useless was the war they fought and if Volt understood how precious live is, then they'd never try to conquer the world.
>>23654237Those "boots" better be a Ninjor reference because it looks stupid.
>>23654416I'm surprised
>>23654422We all know Black Sun was terrible but, was it successful? It got glaring reviews but it could be half for the political message and half for tokuotas wanting to validate their hobby as not just for children
>>23654504Super Sentai is a comedic franchise first and foremost.
>>23654523IMO it felt like it was embarrassed to be a toku hero side project. And that "being adult" meant the main hero is a ketamine addict and the story is just real world echoing political drivel using monster people as the scapegoat.
>>23654535I already know that, I watched the show. What I want to know if it was succesful
>>23654235>Fuck Kazusa OkuyamaI mean hey don't mind if I do.
>>23654543Well nothing else came of it like continuations, so I'd say not particularly.
>>23654523There are still upcoming Shin Kamen Rider figures, but I don't there's anything for Black Sun.On the other hand,https://x.com/Voyagevoyage556/status/1993807769472758131Apparently promotional text for Ganbalegend card packs list Black Sun alongside Kuuga, W and OOO as "popular Riders".
>>23654424Super Sentai but the monsters actually kill people>>23654504>it's due to the lack of a figure comparable to Ishinomori to give it some historical basisYou have not read the Goranger manga.
>>23654568>Super Sentai but the monsters actually kill peopleThat happened all the time in the Showa era
>>23654569Even some Heisei did it, I remember Gekiranger's villains wiping out a small city with a flood in like the first episode.

>>23654391>(((population crisis)))These countries are sardine cans, bro.
>>23654391the real crisis is that they need more workers for physical labor jobs.
>>23654653Because of the millions of Muslim and African refugees they bring in each year, bro.
>>23654416the original gorenger doesn't really have any horror themes in it, it's pure spy action stuff
>>23654569happened as recently as king-oh
>>23653634So is this going to be like Agito where there's an attempt to make everyone from the main trio feel like a protagonist by shifting POVs despite Infinity being the focus?
>>23654654This is going off on a different tangent, but it's a shame they can't use robots for that, sucks that the most banal jobs that no-one really wants to do are the ones that can't really be automatized easily
>>23653634I think they look pretty cool if quite understated. Definitely feels like a return to Metal Hero style designs for sure but slightly modernized. I like the crest across Gold Gavan's chest and Silver Gavan's shoulder pads.
>>23653634The designs look good so far. I wonder if the figures will be as articulated as Zeztz's Action Figure series.
>>23654886I'm wondering if they wanna go all out on merch because it's a brand new franchise
>>23654887If they want it to succeed then that has to be a "yes". That includes the mecha.
>the girl needed to work as a hostess because of pathetically low salary>canceled>the dude stole 500mil yen>"Welcome back, brother"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetsuya_KomuroWhy is there much more forgiveness and freedom in Japanese music industry comparing to acting and idols?
>>23654913Musicians aren't expected to have other people copy them like idols and actors do
>>23654913anon, her character was a role model for children and it's the final season of a series that's been going on for 50 years.

>>23654913>TM NetworkSeriously?
https://x.com/Gozyu_toei/status/1996881652979847270They think they can hide her.
>>23655052That's just Shida in a wig!
>>23653830It says something when Ninninger outsold the last 7 years of sentai when we had some of the best shows in those years. Guess kids (and parents) don't care much about how good the show is and just how much the Toys attract their attention(?)I also wonder if Boonboomger and Gozyuger sales suffered from the weaken yen, heard japanese people spend less on non-essentials these days and toys definitely are non-essential. Even Gavv toy sales suffered tremendously no?
>>23655055talking about the hands
>>23654586What's Haruhi up to these days. Heard his telepathic tsundere boyfriend is getting into BL these days, following the path of his other toku sempai
>>23655063BoonBlue's actor was made for BL
>>23655056Yhe problem is that when sales go down for years shops also reduce shipments and you need consistent growth for recovery and they just haven't had that. It's why if you look at the Rider chart W did much less than the following shows, but unlike most series had a q1 lower than later quarters. The new line was selling a lot, but shipments couldn't keep up, then they adjusted by OOO and numbers blew up.Nininger was coming from a time where Sentai sold better, so the toys also had more presence in the store and more mindshare among parents buying stuff for their children, but when you go through lower numbers for years, your image ends up becoming more and more of an issue rather than helping.
>>23655057WHO!?
>>23655068Seems like he has a promising career ahead of him then, is there a lot of ex-sentai actor who got popular without going through the BL route.Nobody really comes to mind
>>23655077They literally made a story about her face changing, so anything from the first 36 episodes and summer movie are still canon.How the heck you get dubs twice
>>23655056>Guess kids (and parents) don't care much about how good the show is and just how much the Toys attract their attentionThe thing is that even if they like the show, which according to interviews and internet data every show since Kiramager have been generally liked a lot by the Japanese public, toy sales are still the main source of profit for these shows and you can't expect someone to willingly buy a bad product just because they like the show.
>>23654416those take time
>>23654416It's probably because the limit of platforms, for example Amazons and Black Sun released on Amazon but they probably can't release Sentai stuff there because it's a western platform. But they still should be able to simply release an adult show in other channels or blocks like they did with Akibaranger and High School Heroes, or Direct to Video like Chou Ninja Tai Inazuma
uhh what happened to Kiramai Yellow?https://x.com/ruikiharastaff/status/1996869509559492949
>>23655121Someone is defaming him, fellow castmates and agency claim it's fake, for now he's laying low to not be harassed
>>23655121Apparently someone out there was/is spreading malicious rumors about his actor and this Sony Music Entertainment Japan representative is basically saying "we're proceeding with preparations to come after you" while appreciating the warm support he has during this time.
>>23655121Are you SEA 24/7 thinking about gossip?
>>23655068So you would think, but the BL king among the BBG cast is actually BoonOrange, who is actually a main in a BL of his own and played support in a couple other BL.He also CookBrothers with BoonBlue but that's a smaller thing
>>23655166BoonOrange being a BL guy is very much an "uh duuuuh" fact. Look at him throughout the whole show, and when he turned into a catboi.
>>23654913she took the job after getting fired for the affair
>>23655215We really don't know the actual timeline, it depends on if the summer vacation vlog in the Bluray Vol 2 really show her getting flowers which means she has always meant to leave on late August/early September.
>>23655168In hindsight it does seem obvious when you point it out, but I honestly didn't notice because Taiya, Ishiro and Joe is better on the eyes even by Toku standards. Not that Genba isn't good looking, but the other 3 is just on another level of eye catching.and in term of gayness Taiya/Ishiro has like a whole thing going for like 40 episodes.
https://twitter.com/tokusatsu_ex/status/1996897343346495784
is the movie out? how was it? how was maya?
>>23655386>how was maya?Pretty tight.
>>23655405I feel so for Asai, imagine having a long and distinguished suit acting career soiled because some slut couldn't keep her legs closed.
>>23655420he could've, you know, not stuck it in there
>>23655430you're responding to a /pol/schizo replyfaggot btw
>>23655420I mean he was going to quit anyway due to his epilepsy, he originally intended Gotchard Daybreak to be his last role but decided to play GozyuWolf as a favor to Gozyuger's producer Matsuura, it's why he revealed he was going to stop being a suit actor after Gozyuger before the show even came out.I don't know what was his plan after quitting since Taikawa at least is still in good health so after he stopped being a suit actor he became a face actor that does his own stunts, but I don't know if Asai has enough health to do that and he isn't much of a looker compared to Taikawa, his main strength is how fucking acrobatic he is and that like Taikawa he knows a variety of of combat styles, arguably the best suit actor Toei has ever had when it comes to that.
These sales or only domestic, so how will we know wether Project R.E.D and Zeztz will be successes in the rest of the world? Do we have exact numbers for Kyoryuger Brave and the Zyuohger animated shorts?
I remember they were releasing a blu-ray set of random episodes for every sentai in 4k.did that ever come out?
>>23655474>due to his epilepsyWas that not played up/exaggerated as an excuse to cover up leaving due to the affair?
>>23655486Groupwide numbers aren't domestic. Power Rangers used to explicitly be added there back when Bandai had the rights for it. And you could see there was a much larger difference between the group numbers and Japanese toy numbers for Sentai back when Power Rangers was part of the group numbers.
Q1 toy list is out, waiting for someone to post. Rangerboard is paywalling it
>>23655509No, he just said he left due to health concerns without specifying, but before Gozyuger even started he had already said he was quitting suit acting after Gozyuger ended and people assumed the reason was his epilepsy which he had reported having back in 2020
>>23655486>>23655513That said, this is just for Bandai toys. As far as I know Zeztz isn't getting any kind of international toy release from Bandai outside of the usual East Asian ones, it's just Toei licensing exhibition worldwide, so any money from the licensing deals won't show up in these which are just Bandai's.
>>23655515>RangerboardThose are always fake, Matt Cunt's source doesn't always gives him info so the guy just starts lying or picking rumors from the chinese or here claiming they're their own, he hasn't gotten a single leak right since Gaim
The crazy part is that she didn't have to do that. She can fly
>>23655517>>23655513Thanks a lot for explaining
>>23655520Anon the toy list last year was correct
Any other maya supporter here?
>>23655536you're gonna forget about her in a few months.
>>23655520>>23655531toylist comes from tokullectibles which does in fact get the info ahead of time, they have a deal with dukemon where he promotes their website in exchange for the leaks
>>23655536Do you let her live rent free in your head? Besides what's there to defend, she's still the worst at acting from the team and guilty of controversy, only defense I can give her is that she's not a bad actress despite it all and that her agency and the tabloids that tried to expose her are far worse people
>>23655486>so how will we know wether Project R.E.D and Zeztz will be successes in the rest of the world?Look at the number of viewers on each episode stream. Zeztz's numbers are pitiful.
>>23655517>>23655513So the Gozyuger sales include the new Zyuohger toys?
>>23655577>she's still the worst at acting from the teamNah, Hoeru's actor is far worse.
>>23655585In the group-wide numbers from Bandai's financial report. Yes.Note that chart with numbers per series was based on the Japanese toy numbers-only though.
>>23655585Only the groupwide ones since those toys are Korea-exclusive, toy sales charts are Japan only.
>>23655536She’s gone.Move on.
>>23655536Anon it's over. Let it go.
>>23655586He's worse at first, by the second half he improves enough to be better than her while Maya never really improvesSumino is still a fun character though, it's not like she's a blibically bad actress like Rinne's from Gotchard or Rejewel's of Abaranger, she's still good enough to do her job properly just worse when compared to the rest of the cast, still guilty though
>>23655613He's improved but he's still noticeably wooden, Maya felt more natural.
>>23655520Mr. Cunt was so wrong this year on the rumors front he's gone into hiding. Decade won't let anyone speak of the fuck-up and has threatened bans if anyone one brings it up. Rangerboard thinks it's the Trump Administration now. This is so fun!
>>23655634>he's gone into hiding.Again?
>>23655634He’s not in hiding he just doesn’t use dukemon, he uses Rangerboard moderator and bluesky onlyHim and Decade are faggots though.
>>23655641Yeah, it's getting to be a regular thing now. Like how bears go into hibernation.
>>23655515>>23655520>>23655531Just wait for Swagfive like last year, he already had the toylisting for awhile, just need the perfect time window to release it.
>>23655536we have all moved on even the tards on twitter forgot about her

>>23655770this is gonna bomb so fucking hard
If they end Sentai I will give Japan a 3rd nuke
>>23655770Source for this listing? I don't see anything on SwagFive, CraneJoe nor color
>>23655795Rangerboard is mad so it’s correct
>>23654670Yeah no shit. It's almost as if constantly harping on about how Japan is le shrinking is retarded.
>>23655789Why? That's retarded
>>23655798That answers nothing, where did it come from?
>>23655789They already did.
>>23655811Tokullectibles because they’re stupid
>>23655815Thanks
>>23655770>>Sword weapon, possible retooling of the Zanglass sword.This leads me to believe the listing is fake, because in the teaser it seems like the Zanglass retool is coming from the changer gun and the Golden Gavan seems to have a secondary weapon in the teaser that isn't listed yet
>>23655798Wa kowai
>gozyuger finally ending:)>sentai ending with it:(
>>23655823Its real, its ripped straight from Tokullectibles The additional comments in it are the dumb shit the owner is sending to clarify to Matt and whoever else he tells
>>23655798>>23655828Why do you guys give attention to literal scammers without reporting them? I'm just waiting for the eventual arrest or for Matt Cunt to get fired from his job again
>>23655832That's weird, so does he have two swords and the changer is able to split in two for Gold?
>>23655800It's not retarded because it's a fact, literally the only people denying it are retards who don't even live in Japan.
>>23655834Because he’s a manchild and treats anyone who disagrees with him like shit, also thinks he deserves monetary compensation for leaks. This is the outcome of those actions
>>23655864>didn't bother answering the question and instead gave an unrelated replyWhy are you like this?
I unironically think we should keep /ssg/ and rename it to Space Sheriff General. Discussing just Sentai and Metal Heroes here makes more sense than discussing the new show in /otg/ since it seems like a combination of the two. I don't think it will clutter up discussion much since we barely talk about Showa Sentai here anyway.
>>23655867Because I love him, anon.
>>23655901Yes his bald head is very kawaii
>all humanity turns to Sentai>but just the RedLook, I get why, but it does feel tragic that the multi individuals idea of Sentai weren't celebrated
>>23655830hiring women and nepobabies never again and women nepobabies are even worse.
>>23655823Wouldn't the secondary weapon just be the partner robot or maybe it combined with the Changer Gun?
>>23655913Yeah it's most likely like Gozyuger where every add-on is weapon, only that this time they double down as helper mecha
>>23655834>without reporting themwhat would you even do here? print out a google translated letter and mail it to toei headquarters?
the SMP really did the Max Victory justice. I really wish it would restock.
>>23655940To cloudfare but they're seemingly really selective of who they take down, they have no trouble shutting down 4chan archives due to sharty trolls but never actually shut down sharty which is an actual pedophile site or ramgerboard which are scsmmers, I don't get their deal
>>23655949Same, wasn't able to get one back when it was in stock
Found another account who claims Marupi was the one who caused the firing. Interesting though is the profile and header. Looks to be the usual Toei production crew. Could this be the mysterious insider?https://x.com/5imlrv1hwi89586
In hindsight we're these projects made so that modern audiences would associate Space Sheriff with Super Sentai so that in case Super Sentai failed financially they could more easily transition to Gavan as a backup plan?
>>23655962>Trusting account who stole photo from other sites and sns
Out of all her teammates, who would Momorenger most likely marry out of her teammates.

>>23655912Why do you act as if we've never gotten good female writers, tourist?>>23656032Toshiki rose up to fame by accident, he was just an episode writer but him and Keita Amemiya ended up getting picked to head Jetman because Toei had given up and chose young staffers with nothing to their nameAkiko on the other hand got hired because she hit it off with Gozyuger's producer on wrap up party for 555 20th anniversary
>>23655896 /s&sg/Sheriff & Sentai general
Honestly speaking, they should've gotten Baku's sister to play replacement Sumino. She plays such a minor role in Zeztz and is already more available than Kohaku even if she was willing to bundle it with her busy schedule.
>>23656097Zeztz is still ongoing and Matsuura personally knows Kohaku Shida so she was probably the easiest actress to for him get that would cause a big impact in Japan
>>23655896Metal Heroes is more than just the Space Sheriff series, and apperantly Project RED will also reference other Toei Toku besides Sentai and Gavan, so this should become the Toei Toku General.
>>23656097She would be playing Sumino, not the gremlin.
>>23656119So is this like their big crossover universe while leaving the original stuff stand alone on it's own
>>23656104They probably also wanted to get a former Sentai actress and it was a toss up between her and Hinami Mori. Mira looks too old for the part, Rita is already tied to Zeztz, Erica is a halfu and would look wrong, Sena retired and Sayo's already been on several shows.
>>23656125Let it go.
>>23655968No, that's just a lucky accident. Gokai vs. Gavan and Gavan Reboot were for its 30th anniversary (before Sentai went in the red) and stuff like SHTZ and Space Squad grew out of that. This goes way too far back for it to be intentional.>Kyuranger turns 9 years old next year
>>23655896>>23656119Super Sentai General can co-exist alongside Toei Tokusatsu General. It'd naturally become slower with no new show but it could go on like /trek/ which is 90% classic Star Trek and 10% spitting on the NuTrek shit which itself is becoming increasingly sporadic. It would also help if we all got round to watching the old Sentai that we haven't seen yet.
>>23655849>Population goes from 120 million to 119 million in a year>OMG THAT'S 881 MILLION LESS THAN A BILLION THIS COUNTRY IS PRACTICALLY EMPTY WE NEED TO (((RECTIFY))) THIS IMMEDIATELYFuck off.
>>23656192>Super Sentai General can co-exist alongside Toei Tokusatsu GeneralJust bring all discussion to a single general, Project RED is going to be a merger of every Toei Toku series except Rider.
>>23656193Of course you're a /pol/tard.
>>23655908It's so tiresome. They could have easily have had the copy Rings change their form, like how in Donbrothers you have Avataro Gears which change from Red to 6th for Jiro.
>>23656194Honestly I'm fine that idea calling the thread /predg+ssg/ to keep everything in the same thread and not split shit up haphazardly for no reason.
>>23656196No, seriously, what a catastrophic population decline that is. Before you know it, people might actually be able to own houses!
>>23656193The issue is that most of those 120 million are middle aged or above and there's not many kids. If most of your population are old people that aren't gonna buy kids toys then the kids toy shows are gonna be in trouble.
>>23656194Nah fuck off. Sentai has 50 series, we don't need to share with the other shit.
>>23656201I feel really sorry for your parents.
>>23656202Give me the exact statistics. I swear people here talk about Japan as if it's fucking Liechtenstein or some shit.
>>23656203>Sentai has 50 seriesAnd it won't be getting any more. Even Metal Heroes was confined to /otg/.
>>23656193Why do you retards think this is some jewish conspiracy when the Japanese politicians who constantly bring this up are the same ones who want to ban tourists? It's all about preventing the Yamato from going extinct in the future.
>>23656205>>23654197>>23654199
>>23655770>Batteries againHow hilarious would it be if they reused the beast batteries from Kyoryuger?
Tokullectables listing has been comfirmed by color and we're getting a new interview with Shirakura on TTFC where he'll answer fan questions on December 14th
>>23656237Didn't one of the leakers say the batteries are rectangular?
I'm exited for Gavan InfinityPlease be good

So is LuPat actually supposed to count as two sentai, hence ending at 49?
