She looks both creepy and cute here
I'm really worried for her scenes in the VS Super Sentai movie, while the movie should focus more on Gozyuger and other Sentai it does seem like Boonboomger will be a big focus there, so theoretically most of her scenes should be with Sumino since both are the only female members of their teams, meaning her scenes will be edited the most. Hopefully the edits don't come out awkward because her hanging out with notHaruka sounds entertaining as a hell.

For me it's Miu, Yuzuki and Erica.

Do you guys think the gozyuger cast will still be friends after this like previous sentai teams, or did they already deleted their line group and be like "let's never contact each other again"

>>23660956
Anon Sentai originally ended with JAKQ which was dogshit, why do you care about what show is the last? It's not like Boonboomger not being the last makes it a worse show and regardless of quality of a show whose main powers focus on past Sentai like Zenkaiger and Gozyuger are just more fitting to end even if they aren't crossovers

>>23660964
I cannot get a read on Hoeru's actor, Sumino's is obviously out of the question and Haruka's doesn't have enough time to form a deep bond but they still probably respect her a lot due to her status, but the other remaining 4 Rangers are 100% bros irl

>>23660969
I get the feeling that Kumade's actor is the glue

>>23660964
Honestly I can't see it. Throughout Kingoh and Boonboom you'd have cast members posting pictures of them going out together, beyond BTS goofing off. I don't think I've seen anything like that from Gozyuger. I assume they'll be friendly towards each other (sans Maya, at least publically) but not really "friends".

>it's entirely likely 2026 will have a Premium Bandai Final Mobalites
Shit I might have to get that

>>23660964
I feel like all of the love Sentai except Hoeru and the original Sumino actress, it really feels like whenever the other 4 meet veteran actors they're legitimately excited to work with them due to being fans, but I don't really feel like the cast legitimately gets along with each other. But I could still see the other four returning to toku, specially Kumade.
But obviously we have no way to know and we're basically projecting.

>>23660977
Yea Gozyu's cast doesn't seem to gel as well as other teams, especially when you compare with seemingly close ones like boonboom and kingoh.
Doesn't seem like they have much "variety show" content together too, I seem to recall boonboom have a ton of those

>>23660964
>Do you guys think the Gozyuger cast will still be friends after this
Yes, I do.
All of them.

>>23660964
which sentai cast is the closest irl?

>>23661004
The ones that pushed for 10YA films

>>23661004
Gekiranger and although you didn't ask Blade is the closest cast in Kamen Rider
Dekaranger's cast is also really close

>>23661004
Kakuranger, Ohranger, Megaranger, Abaranger, Dekaranger, Gekiranger, Gokaiger, Donbrothers, Zenkaiger, King-Ohger and Boonboomger

>>23660964
You just know

>>23661012
It's interesting that most of the reiwa cast (except kirameiger) seems close

>>23660987
Tied in to the winter movie, one last Super Sentai grand hurrah because I frankly doubt Gozyu vs Super Sentai is even gonna be enough

Sorry if it comes across that way, didn't mean to diss Kirameiger, it's just that the comment I was replying to didn't mention the Kiras

>>23661046
They're close but not the closest, Is there even a cast that hates each other? I know Five Black is hated, VulPanther is hates and the original yellow ranger of Goranger hated the cast and committed suicide but all of those 3 examples are extremes, is there a case where the cast simply hated each other guts?

Maya may not be a long time Sentai fan but she really tried to be one during the Sentai Exhibition with how many posts she did about them, and I feel she genuinely love them.

I've been seeing comments about them look more like coworkers than actual friends judging from the group interviews and Super Sentai Party contents.

What's the point of being parasocial about the cast when their closeness doesn't really affect the quality of the show unless they straight up hate each other.
The biggest problems of Gozyuger are still Akiko's fault due to not being used to doing toku.

Would they do Gavan Infinity VS Gozyuger?

>>23661070
>No Shida Kohaku
Not entirely unexpected, probably a blessing in disguise that gozyuger didn't get a team song like boonboomger or donbrothers, otherwise it would be an extra awkward situation

>>23661153
It actually does to a certain extent, these kind of things bleed into their acting more often than not and affect the character's chemistry with each other.
For example like a few people mentioned here Hoeru doesn't seem to care about Sentai much or bond with the other cast members and it shows in his acting, it's not just because his character setting is supposed to be aloof or emotionally constipated, we had those kind of characters before and they are nowhere near as bad as Hoeru

>>23661157
Unlikely. Probably a cameo in the final episode at best.

>>23661004
Dairanger

>>23661130
They don't feel like friends in the show. Probably they aren't good enough in acting to pretend they're friends

>>23661157
>Gavan Infinity VS Gozyuger
Final Gojuuja episode is OG Gavan beating all of them and remaking the universe.

File: Yellow Four funeral.jpg (13 KB, 237x212)

I just watched this episode. It feels like Yellow Four had a death wish or something. It was more awkward than Kohaku Shida replacing Maya Imamori

>>23661157
They could do it, but I guess by 2027 (when this movie would come out) they'd want to highlight the Project Red universe since they highlighted the shared universe aspect several times. Maybe even jumping straight to an early crossover between Gavan Infinity and the next show.

>>23661182
2027 is also the 45th anniversary of the original Gavan so maybe they'll do a Metal Hero crossover instead.

>>23661177
It's ironic that the characters aren't supposed to be friends in the first place but they grew closer and Hoeru straight up said all of them are his friends.

>>23661190
Hoeru is the worst actor by a mile. It's even more noticeable because we got consecutive good actors in the red role

>>23661202
Agreed, it's especially jarring in Ep1 when they pitch him with NotTaiya, a much better actor who is fresh off of playing one year of Red and still had the boonboom in him.
Really hope Hoeru's actor will improve since then but it didn't seem like he did much

>>23661210
Maybe acting is not his thing. Reminder that acting in Japan is a thing young people do and then retire when they're too old to pass as a teenager. Of course Japan has great actors but they're the ones who truly love the craft and pursuit an acting career seriously

I suppose they could still release movies and specials, just like kamen rider did in the 90's.

>>23661240
Stuff like anniversary movies will most likely go without trouble.

>>23661240
This is not a we're not selling situation
This is a we're using a brand that can't get fucked over in international releases situation

>>23661240
Sentai films and specials will 100% continue to exist in theaters or TTFC, it's just that Project RED is taking over the TV spot so Toei have another franchise they can release worldwide no-hassle without red tape draping over them.

>>23661247
isn't it a little bit of column A, a little bit of column B?
Sentai sales aren't very hot since Reiwa for some reason.

Do any of the cast still follow Maya? I wonder if any still send her dms or stuff to check on her...

>>23661256
Well anon when it's only specials and movies they won't have to worry about its yearly earnings.

>>23660876
...out of ten!

>>23661258
Apparently only Kumade liked her but the cast aren't friends anyway

>>23661256
it's weird considering how the shows themselves seem to be doing quite well but it's not translating into toys/merch sales anymore

>>23661265

Donbrothers brought adult normies to sentai but they don't buy toys. They aren't manchildren but functional adults with lifes

>>23661265
something something Bandai made bad toys for Sentai something something

>>23661265
Probably because there's fewer kids and they have less interest in toys these days

>>23661068

>>23661282
At least this time they'd be ready for it with new tech and such.

You can find plenty of kids on the cities. Where they're absent is on the rural areas because young people left for the cities. The small towns are almost entirely inhabited by old people

About sentai and toku's popularity in general, I like to use this example. At the same time Kyuryuger made the worst ratings ever for its time, the J-drama Akumu-chan was making around 30% on the kids demographic. Maybe kids don't care for heroes anymore, or to be more precise the market is oversaturated by Marvel and DC. Maybe Toei should bring Fushigi Toei Comedy Series instead of Metal Heroes

>>23661281
Huh.... Wasn't he married to FiveYellow? I wonder if she followed suit.

>>23661263
Marupi hung out with her a lot I thought. She attended her fan event she had for her photobook exhibit

>>23661299
It was a plot for gaining Maya's confidence and then snitch her when Maya drank in her birthday's party. Women are crazy. It was all for nothing because Marupi didn't become Gozyu Unicorn

Only SHT Tiktok and Sentai IG unfollowed her and removed Maya-only videos, Gozyuger Twitter still following her.
Maho Horiguchi (Nem) unfollowed her and even deleted their Tiktok together but dunno if this is agency mandate or not.

The beef happened years after the show, they still did reunion event in the 2010s but some months ago Five Blue even blocked Five Black's account.

Forgot they did one together. I think she also had one with Kohaku and one with Reiyo. It's probably agency rules then to save face like how Rikuo's had to censor a bts shot of him that blotted out Maya

Why didn’t the commander make them all sign a fraternization order? The world is at stake, we don’t got time for relationship drama!

>>23661271
That was King-Ohger, Donbrothers was actually popular with everyone including kids.

>>23661310
Everytime Rikuo got mentioned I find Maya's current situation is eerily similar but worse.
That new confession episode is even about Rikuo feeling down after reading hate comments about him.

>>23661331
The point is that before Donbrothers, adult normies didn't care for sentai. It's ironic that sentai is ending considering Toei heroes don't get adult normie attention since early heisei rider.

>>23661334
I wonder if the comments here about Maya hospitalized for suicide attempt is real.

Nobuyuki Hiyama's post on the passing of Tomoichi Nishimura.
"I heard the news of the passing of Nishimura Tomochika-san, a senior figure at the agency.
He was a direct senior who took great care of me in various ways since my rookie days.
I had the opportunity to work with him on numerous projects, including "Yu Yu Hakusho."
The last time we met at the agency, when he greeted me with "It's been a while, how have you been~," I never imagined it would be the final time...
My deepest condolences."

>>23661263
It always look like Maya is the one who tried to be friendly to any of them but only Kimura who actually have eye contact with her.

https://www.tiktok.com/@superherotime_tvasahi/video/7538291118488685831

Have you ever wondered why Hurricanger’s, Dekaranger’s and Gokaiger’s casts come back the most for events, reunions, cameos, and anniversary movies? Were they the most popular Sentai seasons?

>>23661269
They said there are five TTFC projects but so far I only saw this one.
Maybe the Eins Girls Remix is included?

>>23661353
Kimura is a zainichi. Probably he could empathize with Maya

>>23661334
speaking of, Ei hasn't added it to his mega yet huh? He truly is a simp for a whore through and through

Not surprising if it was true, her life and bright future crashed into smitherins in a matter of days. It's unlikely she could even get a regular job in Japan.
Feel really bad for her honestly

>>23661389
at very least I hope the cast still visit her off camera

A part of me wonders/hopes Marupi can convince zeroichi to sign on Maya. It's not like the agency isn't already known for selling its talent for the purpose of sex. Plus it would be a good PR spin if you can prove you can do a better job managing someone.

>>23661463
Coincidentally a Zeroichi talent (Saki Ishihara) got caught underage drinking, complete with photo proof, and she's a year younger than Maya.
They only put her on hiatus and she just coming back around last month.

I wish bandai and toei would be like Tsubaraya. And just show off screens and a premiere date for Gavan like they just do casually for Ultraman

>>23661247

Oh damn, she's Kamen Rider Fatale? Very cool.

>>23661605
They'll do anything to get the cast back but reprising their roles huh
I'm not even talking about anniversary special, but the Go-Busters trio still haven't reprise their roles since the Kyoryuger VS.

>>23661683
They might have to find someone willing to fill in Jin's shoes, and by that, we mean they can not reuse Hiroya Matsumoto for what is essentially a second role that is just a redux of Jin (basically a Lockon situation).

>>23661684
They don't need a replacement for Jin, he's not part of the core team and dead 6ths come back all the time. The Go-Busters don't come back because Toei and Bandai have a grudge against their show.

>>23661699
why? what cardinal sin did the Go-Busters do. Thought it was one of the better ones

>>23661605
Goriders are the other ones, speaking of Gorider how is the Kikaider movie? I really like the Go-Busters movie, Gorider miniseries and the few times in Zi-O where the Ninninger writer was given proper freedom that I'm beginning to wonder if Ninninger being dogshit was an one-time thing?

>>23661350
oh yeah he was George/Ogre

>>23661699
>>23661684
hell they can just use stinky Jin crossing over

>>23661702
by having very low sales compared to Gokaiger a year before, which ironically Ninninger was even lower than Go-Busters but maybe they have given up back then

>>23661684
What are you talking about, anon?
I'm not talking about bringing the entire cast together in a special because seeing how they skipped Go-Busters 10th they won't do it.
I mean is it that hard bringing back just Yellow Buster as a Sentai Legend in later crossover for example? Basically like how Hurricane Blue returned for the first time without her teammates in Boukenger vs Super Sentai.

Jin and J returned in Zyuohger Super Animal Wars so I excluded them.

Gobusters was personally blamed by the CEO of Bandai for a bad year. Considering that Ninninger did even worse and basically destroyed Super Sentai sales following the highs of Gokaiger/Kyoryuger/Toqger, those particular shows are probably not so welcome to Bandai.

Foreshadowing?

>>23662030

I mean it was, but the reason was more due to the producer miscommunicating with the toy designers resulting in toy delays rather than the quality of the show itself. The producer also later did Ninninger, I don't get why she seemingly butt heads a lot with Bandai.

Red/Blue/Yellow is mandatory however IMHO. It always bugged me whenever they left out Yellow

Now that BoonBoomger has ended for almost a year, what are everyone's thoughts about it?
Personally thought it was great, the cast is one of the strongest I've seen in years and the character focused episodes are amazing. Action with the wheels and later on the champion jacket is legitimately good.
The downside is that the overall plot is kinda meh and was not resolved properly in my opinion. Also as much as I love Mira and Joe, they don't seem to do much for the BBG operations? In fact Taiya's whole operation is heavily hard carried by Ishiro (he kinda does everything in the base) with some magical procurement support by Genba. Makes me wonder why Taiya included Mira and Joe in the first place.

>Makes me wonder why Taiya included Mira and Joe in the first place.
Can't save the world without your nakama

>>23663149
Very strong ranger cast (besides Sakito never really fitting) but fairly mediocre story. Team Rocket Car Edition were fine and the generals were also fine, besides the mad scientist guy who had negative charisma. I have fond memories of it for sure, it had a spark to it I quite liked. I especially loved Mira and her cute smile and disposition.

>>23663151
But it's been established early on that Taiya's dream is to join the BBG. My problem is that Mira and Joe doesn't have a role in that dream.
Like they call Mira the Driver but has not once displayed exceptional driving skills, or even better driving skills compared to the rest of the team. And then Joe's Policemen title is even more out of place.

>>23663164
Taiya felt their bakuage, that's all he needs.

>>23663149
>Makes me wonder why Taiya included Mira and Joe in the first place.
Because they were bakuage.
I enjoyed Boonboomger for what it was. Sadly the main plot stalled out for a while and I didn't care for Cannonborg. Disrace was entertaining with his sleazy corporate guy style. Genba leaving the team was a gimmick they didn't really do much with. Cannonborg's arc really should've had more to do with Spinder and Disrace's later efforts to buy the planet, instead it felt like he was just fucking around. At least Mad Rex was cool.
That said, I adored the main team and their interactions. The way they had to save Taiya from himself at times reminded me of the team dynamic in Shinkenger.

>>23663149
It was ok as fuck. I was down for the 3 goons getting soft redeemed, but what they did for 'em was too little too late. But other than that, I can't really complain, but also can't praise.

It's kinda funny how much they sidelined Sakito to the point that they left him on earth to go intergalactic racing and never gave him a champion jacket, unless you watched the final live, which is always questionable canon-wise.

Scenes where Sakito touches the jacket in order to transfer power is always funny if you imagine it doing nothing

>>23664017
Really hard to say, metal heroes doesn't really have much of an international audience compared to Sentai, but just the much wider market alone because they can sell toys internationally could mean much higher sales. We just have to wait and see

Are (You) buying the Gavan infinity toy? Coming soon to your nearest wallmart!

>>23664017
It's basically taking Sentai and mixing it with Metal Heroes to create a new TV IP that Toei/Bandai have full control over.

>>23664047
And not so easily confused with "Hyper Hentai"

So why did Metal Heroes die after Kabutack?
Was it just because Kamen Rider took their audience and spot on superhero time or were there other reasons? Did Toei just stop supporting and caring about them?

>>23664062
Metal Hero was never meant to be one definite franchise, even the name "Metal Hero" was made by fans.

>>23664017
Metal heroes has been DEAD since Beetleborgs
so the western market has no idea about them.
It'll be a pretty fresh experience. I'm not sure I expect much though considering Zeztz live viewers and overall next day viewers

>>23664064
So it was a bunch of different shows that were grouped together by their similarities?

>>23664064

Thanks, that's disappointing
Hopefully they bring back the Makuu space for Infinity and do creative shit with it

Let's reminisce a bit. What are your favorite Sentai villains and why?

>>23664168
The Londartz Family because they were cold-hearted bastards who just wanted money for the sake of money, they were both hilarious and menacing. Dolnero just has so much charisma it's insane.
Other picks would definitely be Grey from Jetman because of how much style he has and his character and Z from ToQger because of how unique he was and his actor always properly amping up his scenes.

>>23664168
Abrella isn't the best villain but I liked how he's just a smuggler and weapons dealer who only decides to take over the world himself because Dekaranger kept fucking up his business model. Also Ryusei Nakao

>>23663943
This is why they got cancelled. They shot at the space police.

>>23664216
They are both fucking sex (no homo) and were also coming from a place of limited resources and had to earn their way to their end objectives in a way that also ended up giving them a journey of their own and made them look competent to the last.

>>23664182
And Gien might be the single most tragic villain in the entire franchise.

>>23664220
I mean that's basically what it is

>>23664221
Abrella was great as a central reason as to why so many criminals were getting more powerful tools to do crime with, with the natural end of the show him getting annoyed enough to just try and stop them himself. It's the kind of show that could go forever really if they just wrote out another character like him to take over as the merchant that gives other criminals gadgets.

>>23664148
Toei will use the big LED soundstage for makuu space. It should be interesting.

>>23664266
Definitely. Makuu Space is 100% coming back with a new Gaven-adjacent project and the LED soundstage is perfect for it.

>>23663943
So they're allowed to use Gavan and Jiraiya, and they're making a VR Troopers comic, but they don't actually own Metal Hero anymore?

Gavan and Jiraya appeared in Super Sentai episode footage (Go-Busters and Ninninger being the relevant ones here) thus their PR appearances. It's just Toei giving them the material from the episodes, not a license over the franchises.

As for the VR Troopers, note they're all redesigned for the comic. Toei can't complain when one of those designs was just an unlicensed Kikaider redesign in the first place.

-Professor Bias: he's just a great villain and I like how he always tries to get his subordinates to compete in order to get better at science to beat the Livemen (before his secret gets revealed)
-Dr Hinelar for basically trying a revenge plot while taking all the power of Nezirezia, protecting his subordinates as if they were his family (especially when Gireil comes into play)
-Dolnero same reason as Hinelar plus doing all what he does for the sake of money and having all the charisma to pull it off (he's actually very capable too)
-AbareKiller I don't think I need to say much, even if he gets redeemed by the end (and mostly from what I remember is because Dezumozoria played him like a fiddle)
-Brazila because I just love how he (almost) pulled off his master plan, even if he went offline a bit during the whole Matrintis arc, and then he even baits the Goseigers successfully with GoseiKnight. All around he might be top 3 Sentai villains for me.
-Enter and Zed mostly for the way their actors portray them respectively.

It just shows the dearth of creative talent at Toei right now. Their best producer quit because he was "out of ideas". And now, it's just midlevel brainlets in the producer chair. The guy tasked with launching the new Gavan is the midwit responsible for a pile of nothing show that was Boonboomger and he's probably the most competent guy left given so many of them were responsible for abominations like Gotchard.

What happened to the production talent at Toei? They had guys like Takatera or Shirakura in the 2000s and now we are ending up with people like Minato, Kuji and Matsuura.

>>23664508
>>23664480
Didn't Gozyuger reach this list simply because the show is well liked in Japan? Revice had controversies yet it only reach around the 20th spot iirc

>>23664632
It feels like it happened after Shirakura got this higher position where he oversees all Toku production. After that the only stand out new main producer was Ohmori, who eventually just left Toei.

It could also be Bandai's bigger and more intrusive toylines.

>>23664632
I think the sentai formula and all its baggage is just limiting to creators.
With Gavan there’s less restrictions
Robot fights can be more impactful if used correctly, heroes can openly fight eachother without the jarring disconnect of having to play it off next week for a normal team up.
Pretty sure the tone they want is early heisei rider.
Sentai just kept getting kiddier every year after mega ranger. That was extremely apparent after gobusters.

>>23664647
They certainly did just fine with it throughout most all of the 2000s, so that alone makes your logic not really work

They only own the name VR Troopers. From what I remember, the licenses for Shaider, Metalder, and Spielban lapsed and went back to Toei in 2004, hence why the suits in VR Troopers look nothing like they looked in the TV show.

>>23664638
Revice's controversies doesn't even compare to Gozyugers, also Sentai ending got a lot of people who aren't interested normally talking about gozyuger.

There's also the fact that Revice is just dead boring

>>23664639
Wasn't Shirakura literally the president of Toei from Goseiger to ToQger? Those shows turned out mostly fine.
The problem is that almost every apprentice of Omori rather than being assigned into making toku they were transferred to the drama division the instant they were promoted, meanwhile during Reiwa Takahashi got promoted, Mochizuki got demoted, Omori left and Minato was for some reason taken away from King-Ohger and given a producer position despite being young and inexperienced, I really don't get what was Shirakura thinking by picking him. Now it seems that they're taking back the producers they transferred to other divisions like Boonboomger's and Zeztz's producers.

>>23664632
Poor training for the most part, the best producer at training newbies is seemingly Tsukada but most of his apprentices got transferred to work on dramas rather than toku, ultimately highly limiting the pool of producers picks. I wish promoted producers coming back to do shows like how they did from Kiramager to Donbrothers happened more often, or at least for the first entry in a new franchise to guarantee its quality rather than leaving it to someone who has only done a single show while all of his other works are just short edutaiment videos and campaigns.

>>23664632
Boonboomger actually had tons of potential to be amazing. The directing is good, the cast acted very well, the music is great and the action was fantastic, all foundations of a good toku.
It's biggest mistake was that it's overarching plot/script was boring

>>23664656
>Revice is just dead boring
It did at lot of buzz during the first 18 episodes back when it was good.
One thing I want to understand about the buzzword award is if words can get repeated in another year, because Sentai ending would probably use the keyword Super Sentai rather than Gozyuger.

>>23664666
>it's overarching plot is boring
It isn't even that, the anti-commercialism angle of the plot which harbors back to the cast and the Showa racing scene plus Disrace is a great antagonist. The problem is that the writer quite literally just backed out after Madrex's first death causing what should have been pivotal moments such as Red's upgrade, the 6th ranger introduction and the second general being done in an extremely half-assed manner damaging the story from that point onward. If the writer hadn't left Boonboomger would have a really great toku.

A puppet.

That says nothing about the quality of Gotchard. The fact that KR still rakes in the dough despite a string of bad shows demonstrates you can pretty much make shit and the toyline will still sell itself.

>>23664875
If he was truly a puppet they would have gotten Inoue or Shimoyama as a writer for him, picking Minato just seems like straight up retardery on Shirakura's part or pettiness that Omori started King-Ohger's development in secret so he took away the two vice producers from that show as a condition to greenlight King-Ohger

Gotchard is the second best-selling show in Reiwa, above Geats and Gavv.

>>23664940
nta but I don't see what's the point of bringing Gotchard into conversation when Gavan Infinity won't be using cards, that ended up being a false rumor, and the whole point of conversation was about Boonboomger's producer Kuji was at least more competent than Minato. Like the aspect that gave Gotchard the most money were the cards which wasn't even Minato's idea but rather Shirakura's and Tsukada's, only thing Minato came up with was its Pokémon aspect.

It absolutely is. The most boring part of Revice is the middle right after it ended its string of really good episodes but right before it becomes a ridiculously bad trainwreck where it felt like the staff was deliberately making the worst decisions possible to take the piss out of watchers.

>>23664954
>I don't see what's the point of bringing Gotchard into conversation when Gavan Infinity won't be using cards
I think you might be retarded, because we're not talking about cards, we're talking about Minato.
>Boonboomger's producer Kuji was at least more competent than Minato
Objectively speaking, knowing what the ultimate goal of their job is, that is not truly the case.

>>23664963
I think you have 0 reading comprehension because your whole basis for claiming Minato is a good producer is that he made a show that sold well, when the aspect that made it sell so much wasn't even his idea which was my point. I also don't understand pinning the sales on the producer's when we already know that the reason Super Sentai sells poorly is because its toys suck, while Kamen Rider's toys are great. Like aside from King-Ohger, all of Omori's shows were massive financial successes and Shirakura's two Sentai Show's were commercial failures despite him making the best selling tokusatsu show of all time and most of his shows prior were financial successes. So I really don't get what's the point or judging a producer's competency on their sales numbers given all the information we have, like Revice sold well yet Mochizuki got demoted immediately after.

>>23664898
Nobody controls Inoue, Inoue intimidates his own producers. A show written by Inoue is a show effectively controlled by him, not Shirakura.

Also Donbrothers ended the same year that Gotchard started, and it's not like Uchida isn't one of Rider's current go-to writers.

The teasers for Gavan Infinity is really making me wonder if the characters will be full Kamen Rider-esque loners, or if it'll be another Donbrothers/Gozyuger situation where they fight together most episodes despite butting heads.

>>23664940
>Project RED's main objective is to make money.

Which is going to depend greatly on the quality of the toyline. Even if the show is great and the toyline is shit, the whole project will still flounder as we have seen with the past ten years of Super Sentai flopping like hell.

>Gotchard is the second best-selling show in Reiwa, above Geats and Gavv.

And that was because of the cards (which wasn't even Minato's idea) and not because of the actual show, which was very much his baby and complete shit.

TDLR: Toyline being good = $$$$$$

>>23664973
The way imagine it will work is that it'll be like Agito where despite Infinity being the true protagonist, the other two also serve as deuteragonists to appeal to different toku niches, with Infinity being closer to the standard hotblooded Sentai Red protagonist, Samurai being closer to a Space Sheriff protagonist and Hikari being supposed to appeal to a new audience. So the three will occasionally work together but for the most part act independently.

>>23664976
>his baby
Was it though? He said his favorites shows of all time are early Heisei Kamen Rider which Gotchard feels nothing like and in early interviews he would talk about how he really didn't want to leave King-Ohger.
Gotchard just feels like him being extremely desperate to appeal to veterans producers because he's a hardcore Kamen Rider fan so he just went ahead with whatever idea given to him without questioning despite having no proper plan on how to implement them then proceeding to try to be as safe as possible to make them happy, which backfired massively.

>your whole basis for claiming Minato is a good producer is that he made a show that sold well
That's the same basis Shirakura and Toei have, that's the reason why Shirakura is where he is.
>I also don't understand pinning the sales on the producer's
Because Toei does.
>Like aside from King-Ohger
This proves that the shows' "quality" doesn't matter, so crying that Minato is an incompetent producer because you hated Gotchard, even though it succeeded where Ohmori's passion project didn't, shows that you're utterly detached from reality. Minato is an objectively competent producer, and this is not even my personal opinion.

I think out of the entire 2010’s cataglog Zyuohger had the best toyline.

>>23664990
>Because Toei does
Again you're conviniently ignoring Mochizuki getting demoted after Revice and how what gave Gotchard's success was Shirakura's idea because you have no actual argument, even Matsuura implied that Gotchard's driver was a failure only selling well due to its cards

>>23664986
Minato basically called the day to day shots on Gotchard. The BTS stuff basically paints him as the decider in determining the direction of the storylines and what could or couldn't work and vetoing ideas from the writers as well as the general fates of the characters like for example what happened to the Lachesis in the end.

It's been said Shirakura was more thorough in his "mentoring" of Minato than he had been with other producers, to the point that Minato claimed that Shirakura told him exactly what to do whenever he had a question. It was also Shirakura alongside Tsukada who poached him to do Gotchard in the first place.

>despite a string of bad shows demonstrates you can pretty much make shit and the toyline will still sell itself.
It's crazy how anons in this general are so quick to shit on other franchises but took them until the cancellation to accept that Sentai was failing

>>23664999
>Again you're conviniently ignoring Mochizuki getting demoted after Revice
Revice wasn't a success in Bandai's eyes, and Mochizuki was involved in public controversies during the show's production. It's not hard to see why he got demoted.
>how what gave Gotchard's success was Shirakura's idea
Yeah, Minato's a good competent puppet.
>even Matsuura implied that Gotchard's driver was a failure only selling well due to its cards
That was before the show even ended. Bandai is now moving on to releasing Premium DXs for that belt instead of card packs, and there's no indication whatsoever that they think Gotchard wasn't a success.

Anon ever since Ryusoulger where the leak that revealed Sentai Strongest Battle stating that Super Sentai was in danger most people here have been talking about how Super Sentai could end soon, back when Donbrothers' trademark hadn't realized yet because it released later than usual most people were dooming about how Zenkaiger might be the last Sentai show. And a year prior Gozyuger Shirakura had interviews talking about how they were considering to rebrand Super Sentai. Really the news of Super Sentai cancelation only come as a surprise if you don't come from 4chan since other sites would constantly be in denial.
The only thing that gave anons a glimmer of hope was Donbrothers increasing sales and being highly popular in Japan, and it might have honestly saved the franchise had King-Ohger toys not have QA issues but I find that unlikely given all the limitations the Power Ranger contract gives to Super Sentai.

That was in a Gozyuger interview, but you could have just lead with

So that we didn't have to have this pointless argument since now we're on the same page

If Minato had done a Super Sentai show it would have sold poorly and if Kuji would have done a Kamen Rider show it would have sold well
I don't get the point of the argument when Super Sentai toys suck

I mean other than Shinkalion being the defacto boys toy mecha. Heavily carried by train otaku. Job braver is the only other little boy robot toy line besides Sentai robo. Both of those have articulation though. Then the competition of Ultra, rider and videogames.

>>23665027
Minato's a tried and true competent producer (read: puppet), but who the hell knows about Kuji.

>>23664990
>Omori who made the second best selling Kamen Rider show of all time, made the best selling Super Sentai show and made the only Reiwa toku to get a nomination for the Seiun Award, is incompetent because one show of his sold poorly
>But Minato who has only made a single financial successful show with an idea that wasn't even his is more competent
Nigger what are you trying to say

>>23665039
Because Toei and Bandai themselves haven't realized this.

>>23665053
>all the previews of Gavan Infinity show Shirakura being hugely involved despite it being Shirakura's show
>Boonboomger was a more childish show at Toei's request because King-Ohger wasn't popular with kids
What do you think?

What I’ve learned from the Yahoo Japan article today is that the combined robo toys used to be priced as a giftset near the same price as a rider belt but now go for even more, sources citing the average christmas budget was 8,500 yen and sentai robot set was typically 9-16000 yen depending on the year.where as rider belt was either 8-9k yen. Other robot toy lines such as Shinkalion or Wild kingdom have a small price entry as the robot is a single small unit and it’s not necessary to get anymore unless you want to take advantage of the gimmick further.
Project red should probably have small robots like an individual Kikanoid or Sky mage that you can enjoy without the full team gattai aspect.

>>23664638
Kamen Rider's always at a disadvantage with these because the shows start so late into the year and the episodes that do air are all in the sideform shill period. We wouldn't have gotten the Ex-Aid christmas episode by now for example.

>>23665067
That makes a lot of sense actually, thanks

>>23665055
>made the only Reiwa toku to get a nomination for the Seiun Award, is incompetent because one show of his sold poorly
Yeah, and it didn't win and it also flopped. Despite being a passion project made by one of Toei's most successful producers, it was a failure. I wasn't saying Ohmori was incompetent throughout his entire career (only when he made King-Ohger, objectively speaking), the point being made is that a show being good doesn't necessarily make it successful and the opposite is also true, so saying Minato is an incompetent producer because of an objectively successful show that you just happen to dislike is retarded. He's not incompetent in Toei's eyes.

>>23665062
post the article

>>23665072
But if Minato was tasked to do a Super Sentai show it would have flopped, because the reason Sentai is failing financially isn't because of the producers but because the toys designed by Bandai sucking ass, referring to someone as "competent" when higher-ups had to step in and assign him a co-writer because of how aimless his plan for the show was and his vice producer had to bring in a third writer because Minato's unclear instructions on where to take Rinne's character only because his show sold well because of an idea that wasn't even his is retarded, specially because any producer could have been picked and be assigned to use cards by Shirakura.

Toei doesn't know that, that's the fucking point. You retards talk as if Toei was aware of this, but they are definitely not. If that was the case, Shirakura wouldn't have gotten so much clout for producing the most financially successful Toei Toku show ever (Zi-O) when it was obvious from the get go that it would make it bank simply because of what it is. If that was the case, Sentai wouldn't be fucking dead and replaced by fucking Gavan of all things.
>referring to someone as "competent" when higher-ups had to step in and assign him a co-writer because of how aimless his plan for the show was
Hasegawa had already been hired as a guest writer, Minato just decided to make him co-head writer as well after some discussion with Shirakura and others.
>his vice producer had to bring in a third writer because Minato's unclear instructions on where to take Rinne's character
Shirakura's APs don't get the credit for their good contributions, he does. That's how things work at Toei.
>only because his show sold well because of an idea that wasn't even his
It's not retarded, it's realistic. You're the one who's too retarded to realize that Toei is retarded like that.

>>23665105
>Shirakura's APs don't get the credit for their good contributions
But he got to make a show immediately after Gotchard while Minato is now working as a vice producer again rather than a producer and Omori similarly was a vice producer that was put to do a lot more work than normal who got promoted shortly after.

>Toei doesn't know that, that's the fucking point

I really don't get what your point is anymore, because the whole reason this argument started was because I disagreed with you referring to Minato as competent when you seemingly agree with me that he's incompetent and the reason Sentai sells poorly is because of its toys rather than the producer. The initial discussion wasn't about what Toei's POV was or the producer's successes, it's about how Minato is a less able producer than Kuji because of his decisions behind the scenes.

After all these years you'd think people would be able identify the obtuse posters that are only shitposting and not worth arguing with

OK so what are the actual chances for Project R.E.D to be successful? The current producer pool feels unstable, there's no guarantee that Bandai learnt their lesson to fix their Mecha toys, Gavan Infinity not being like Gavan feels like it will alienate tokuotas and the shows being interconnected feels limiting compared to Super Sentai, Kamen Rider and Metal Heroes.
I guess it's impossible to predict until we see the toys themselves but I'm not feeling hopeful sadly.
