Post your upcoming Gavan Infinity premiere face/pose.
>>23750110You don't want that, trust me
Posting again for new thread, either 4th or 6th Gavan
>>23750194You put the period after the D of Project R.E.D. in the thread subject, but you and ReiwAnon forgot to put it everywhere else.
>>23750203>4th is redwtf they're breaking the sentai rules
>>23750235Jiraiya might be getting his own personal spin-off while he barely does anything of note in Gavan Infinity

>still linking the TTFC mega Please stop being retarded. The gooner deserved it for wanting to support the uniwhore. Don’t worry though, once she opens her only fans, you can bet Ei will reopen the mega with her contents lmao
>>23750162>Did he though? I've only seen summaries of that interview rather than the full interview itself because of their shitty paywallThere's also interviews from Shirakura saying he's going to suffer consequences if Gavan fails, which implies he has much more involvement in Gavan getting picked than just lol letting Kuji pick from a stack. Plus the interviews where he expressed nostalgia towards the original.
>>23750291Shut the fuck up already, Gashacon.

>>23750310He’s either crimson and gold and uses a purple Emorgear or thats the 6th and the 4th gavan is green.
The official Toei distributor in Brazil is announcing something tomorrow, either Infinity or the Kabuto dub release
It sounds like Yukaida/Pleasure is the Red/yellow gavan in april Death/Evil in May the black gavanYakami/envy june/july green gavan
YOU COUNT THE GAVANS12And 3

>KujiP taking example of Doraemon on multiverse angle of Gavan Infinityhttps://www.cinematoday.jp/news/N0153230
>>23750470maybe it'll run back to back with Zetzz in the same stream a la Super Hero time?
>>23750514What was wrong with the concept of doing that with space travel as a theme, like how in Dekaranger it was a consistent setting where aliens just exist and interact? Why does it have to be a damn multiverse?
>>23750522Because of escalating culture, space has been done over and over people are bored of it, the public is into dimensions because of marvel.
Kuji also mentioned multiple seasons for Gavan
>>23750522Because Shirakura wants his own version of the MCU especially NWH with the three spider-men. He's talked about the influence of American superheroes and the MCU on PRED.
Are official English subs confirmed?
>>23750522Because Kuji wants to make each Gavan feels like they're from a different show, I guess it's kind of similar to the countries of King-Ohger but it feels to overambitous for a setting where they're seemingly not using LED screens or sets outside the Maku space, I just don't see them pulling it off properly>>23750529Not yet, they released an english teaser implying we're getting them but so far only spanish, portuguese and vietnamese subs have been comfirmedI'm worried that the subs might have been delayed for whatever reason and we won't get same day subs like Zeztz
>>23750199I want yoyo as a gimmick
>>23750496If it's anything like Gotchard they'll probably being using the non-chrome suit most of the time
>>23750514Producer of "Super Space Sheriff Gavan Infinity" Eyes Serialization; Infinite World Expands via MultiverseDeep Dive into "Super Space Sheriff Gavan" Premiere! Gavan Jouchaku Interview"Super Space Sheriff Gavan Infinity" builds on the innovative spirit of the popular 1980s tokusatsu "Space Sheriff Gavan" (1982–1983) while constructing a fresh worldview. It follows the exploits of Galactic Federation Police investigator Reiji Doki, who jouchaku into the metallic body of Gavan Infinity—whose body glows red—as a special effects drama. The story unfolds across a multiverse (Cosmo Layer) with multiple overlapping Earths, where Reiji Doki travels through dimensions, teaming up with various Space Sheriffs Gavan for investigations.Why Three Space Sheriffs Gavan AppearCompared to the 1980s when "Space Sheriff Gavan" aired, space has become a more accessible theme in our scientifically advanced modern era. Producer Yoshito Kuji began, "We wondered what facing space or SF would look like today. From the start, we brainstormed with the director and scriptwriter". He revealed his approach to building the worldview: "We took a broad view of the term 'Space Sheriff' and used ideas like 'How can we make it feel more space-like? More cop-like?' to shape character designs, story formats, and villain setups".A key element is "Emorgy", an energy lifeform that reacts to the emotions of its possessor. This concept, essential for Gavan's jouchaku into, was proposed by Producer Yoshito Kuji, who focused on "emotions". "Bandai initially suggested an alien-like key item, but I thought, 'What if we add one more layer?' It could spark kids' first awareness of emotions, and it pairs perfectly with cop dramas delving into victims' and criminals' feelings".(1/?)
>>23750539Notably, the worldview features not one, but multiple Space Sheriffs Gavan, each existing on different dimensional Earths. Already announced are the protagonist Gavan Infinity (Multiverse Earth A0073), Gavan Bushido (Multiverse Earth Λ8018), and Gavan Luminous (Multiverse Earth Ι5109)—three Gavans in total.On introducing three Gavans, Producer Yoshito Kuji explained, "One reason is to spark viewers' imaginations". "You'll see in episode 1, but the story centers on Gavan Infinity. We declare 'Gavan is the universe's one true hero,' then reveal 'There are many universes—so many Gavans.' This lets audiences think, 'Maybe there's a Gavan like this in another universe'".>To expand the world without it feeling like Kamen Rider (tracking one hero) or Super Sentai (team always together), we differentiate by having multiple potential protagonists across the multiverse who meet. Imagine heroes who could headline their own series crossing paths with ones already bearing that title, sparking new stories. I told the scriptwriter, 'Build worlds deep enough for Gavan Bushido to lead a full year!' They said, 'Of course!' and we crafted three interconnected ones. Multiverse Introduction Inspired by "Doraemon" FilmsWhile multiverse elements have popularized in recent American comic hero works, concerns like "the plot can't keep up" arise from complex setups. In Toei tokusatsu for kids and adults alike, how is the multiverse introduced?>Of course, we worried about it getting too complex or kids not following, so we kept it as 'a show about hero Gavan Infinity's action'—fully enjoyable on that level. But for fans, we added layers that deepen with digging.(2/?)
>>23750541Producer Yoshito Kuji elaborated on the structure using the "Doraemon" film series: "In those movies, Nobita and Doraemon live in one world, visit another, befriend new characters, solve troubles, and return home. For 'Gavan Infinity,' we got excited in planning about delivering that movie-like thrill weekly". "Gavan Infinity" Could Get Seasons 2 & 3Scriptwriter Atsuhiro Tomioka, who teamed with Producer Yoshito Kuji on Super Sentai series #48 "Bakuage Sentai Boonboomger", was chosen for "Super Space Sheriff Gavan Infinity." Yoshito Kuji places immense trust in Tomioka's knack for creating compelling characters in "Boonboomger". >"PROJECT R.E.D." is a mid-to-long-term project, so from the start, I fantasized about seasons 2 and 3 for 'Gavan Infinity'—maybe season 2 with Gavan Bushido as lead, or spin-offs for other Gavans. No one but Tomioka could build this infinite worldview.Pilot director (sets the work's direction) is Hirofumi Fukuzawa, a Super Sentai veteran who suited many Reds. His recent shift to action director and director roles, marking his first pilot gig, has drawn pre-broadcast buzz.On casting Fukuzawa, Producer Yoshito Kuji said, "Fans will especially get why we picked an action-rooted director for 'Gavan'". He has a clear intent.>For example, the "John Wick" films are directed by a stuntman alum. Their action-based worldview sparks unique fun, so I thought Fukuzawa could deliver something fresh. Previously, he'd join fully set projects and make them look cool; this time, he shapes settings, cast, and locations freely. Just imagining his visuals excites me.Yoshito Kuji also praises Fukuzawa's "versatile directing toolkit". "He's a huge student of media—films, anime, manga, even haiku lately. His evolving knowledge from all genres makes him perfect for 'PROJECT R.E.D.'s first pilot". (3/?)
>>23750537It already happened with Metal Hero, they have a shiny close-up suit and a trashier action suit.
>>23750543Episode 1 Highlights: "Reiji Doki's Cool Factor"True to its "Infinity" title, the work brims with potential. "I don't want 'PROJECT R.E.D.' to end in a few years. While future plans are in discussion, I see 'Super Space Sheriff Gavan' running seasons 2 and 3 as a brand—TV series, theatrical films, or media mix spin-offs all sound great," Producer Yoshito Kuji enthuses.If "PROJECT R.E.D." had a tagline, he'd pick "An Expanding Project." "It means birthing endless heroes and reaching new audiences beyond tokusatsu fans. 'Infinity'—coined by producer Watanabe—is catchy with its symbol and fits the 'expanding' theme. Among countless Gavans, it marks the unique one crossing dimensions: Gavan Infinity". For the February 15 episode 1, he highlights: "Protagonist Reiji Doki has this refreshingly cool vibe—you'll want to watch him forever. We've created a hero like that. Lead actor Kohei Nagata will grow as an actor and as Reiji Doki, so watch for that". To original "Space Sheriff Gavan" fans and Super Sentai viewers entering hiatus, he appeals: "We reapproached 'hero' from scratch to deliver 'This is the hero we wanted!' Don't just watch—experience it live with crowds in real time". (Interview & text: Editorial Dept. Takuya Kuramoto)(4/4)>>23750188I started translating it before this interview but the Shirakura/Kuji interview is really long, will have it ready in a few hours
They replaced the “23 episodes” to “None”
>>23750540Detectives are just police-lite
>>23750550Gavan Infinity is dead!!!
>>23750543This is how we get a Jiraiya reboot
>>23750540Introducing...Gavan Answer and Gavan Mystique!
>>23750556based
>>23750550Finally we can move on to Juspion 2.
Emorgy orgy
>>23750561I mean... they got their asses exposed at every moment and Kanki was referred as "her" so might as well right?
>>23750540Finally....villain toys.
Remember that at least there's no way Gavan is going to be worse than Gozyuger
https://x.com/ProjectRED_Toei/status/2022506080580813276
>>23750573They have a female duo in the show incase one of them drinks.
>>23750573It's basically New-Gen Gavan meets Dekaranger meets Boonboomger (via the main writer.) It'll feel nothing like Gozyuger.
Gavan Infinity's premiere will be ___
>>23750589Hopefully very good
>>23750589Hopefully very cool
>>23750589An interesting one. It's gonna be pretty odd to not see Sentai right after Rider, especially after so many years, but I'm optimistic on it. May this be the beginning of something good.
Will there be an ED dance sequence?
Is it gonna be fun/funny?
>>23750608We have no idea. We only know that there's an OP in Love Is The Strongest.It's probably going to not have an ED visual.
>>23750589A waifufag fest because half of the cast is female
>>23750589Mixed. It's gonna be a lot at once to tell people "we're confident in this!" despite shitting their pants behind the scenes and that's going to bleed through. Like the inherent problem with Infinity out the gate is that they're trying to do way too much and Gozyu just showed how bad that can be for show structure down the line.
https://twitter.com/tokusatsu_fc/status/2022506094162227460
>>23750573So long as Akiko Inoue is kept away
>>23750608There won't be an ED theme, but we don't know if there won't be a dance yet>>23750609According to leaks and the interview with Fukuzawa the tone will still be fun and try to appeal to kids, an example they gave is the two bullies being sort of a comedy duo
>>23750645Yeah the robot and him are definitely the show's manzai duo. Like naturally it's still going to be a family show and not just for tokuota.
Damn, I came to see the last Super Sentai General just to see it already got culled...Anything interesting of note? / any screenshots?
>>23750650I mean not really? It was still just a normal /ssg/ at the end of the day leading into /red/ #1. You can go and read it on desuarchive if you want.
>>23750650No Toei is just like everyone else in japan New is the best old is used up garbageAll focused on RED and Gavan
>>23750650The helmetless rollcall with Unicorn wearing her helmet was pretty interesting
>>23750657>>23750651>>23750649Where did you get these images?
>>23750656>>23750650
>>23750659https://en.mantan-web.jp/e_article/20260213dog00m200080000a/photopage/002.html
>>23750656>>23750660What happened? Was it not explained? Like the actress couldn't film that scene and they used the stunt double, or...?
>>23750664It was not explained. They just couldn't get the replacement GozyuUnicorn actress for that shooting session, so they just kept her helmet on like no one would notice. Unfortunately she's taking up most of the screen so people noticed, and will probably be one of the main images Gozyuger will conjure when talked about.
>>23750667>replacement GozyuUnicornWhat? They replaced her mid season? I hadn't followed this season.
>>23750650To summarize>Gozyu Black's actress got fired due to an unspecified controversy, officially it was due to underage drinking but that's seemingly a front, due to the contract the actress had with her agency Toei is forced to remove every scene with her and recast her, however because her firing happened so late in production the last 2 episodes had to be filmed without a replacement and all of the scenes with her replacement were done in post-production >the last episode was one of the episodes with the most issues due to the recast, even the show's producer talked about it before the episode came out saying he was disappointed they had to handle it this way because at the time of filming it was immediately after the recast and they hadn't hired Gozyu Unicorn's replacement yet>the finale was OK emotionally but ultimately way to many aspects of Gozyuger's worldview are left unresolved/undercooked>the finale didn't feel like a finale to Super Sentai, this was done on purpose according to the producer, he wanted the Finale to feel like Gozyuger's finale while the VS movie with Boonboomger will feel like a farewell with Sentai>Toei created a banner with every red ranger to celebrate>yesterday the president of the company that helped with co-coordinating monster designs passed away
>>23750650>>23750673
>>23750673>yesterday the president of the company that helped with co-coordinating monster designs passed awayRest In Peace. Thank you for that, that is all highly interesting. Too bad they have gone to the nostalgia well so much recently, because a big movie with all the sentai teams could have been really inmpactful if it wasn't the theme of like 3 of the recent sentai shows.
>>23750676>>23750650Oh yeah and also some of the red rangers that apparead in the show re-appeared in the last episode
>>23750676Is that Gremlin?! I would watch it for she.
>>23750671The original actress was caught underaged drinking (but it could've been a cover-up about her having relations with a suit actor which is a big no-no) so her actress basically disappeared from the show because her agency removed all rights to her image. so for a couple episodes the show was in limbo and felt eerie because it was so obvious she was being cut out. The replacement actress (Kohaku, OniSister from Donbros) did the best job she could to salvage what they could, but she was unavailable for that session so GozyuUnicorn is the only one with her helmet still on. The original actress has basically vanished, seemingly become a hikikomori.
>>23750679Yeah, it's her.
>>23750673>Gozyu Black
>>23750679It's her, but like I said her scenes were kinda rushed because the staff had no prep time and having to be added after the whole show got filmed so they feel awkward despite her being a better actress>>23750677They're getting BoulenRed, Gokai Red and Zyuoh Eagle at least
>>23750682It's 12:50 and it was a long workday cut me some slack
>>23750589Great, Boonboomger's start was awesome and this is basically the same team but even less restraint, it also helps that every male character is played by an older actor so we can probably expect acting on the same level as King-Ohger and Boonboomger which is greatI jusr hope that Gavan is able to keep its momentum unlike Boonboomger which dropped hard in the middle due to the writer temporarily leaving
>>23750645>Japanese bulk and skullo lawdy
>>23750706AKA a manzai duo
>>23750681I just realized I can see Erica's bra
>>23750671Not even mid-season, actually three quarters in. What sucks is that they already filmed 10 episodes in advance which is why her replacement is basically Tig Notaro'd
>>23750718did your peepee get hard?
Size comparison with Tegaswordhttps://x.com/takoyaki_443/status/2022504125121143253
>>23750727I can imagine the Gavarion Trigger being both a changer gun, a spaceship and a mech will make it sell pretty well.
>>23750720Bigger and chunkier than Tegasword. Kids will love it.
>>23750727proportions wise, it's a better looking mech too. I hated how stouty Tegasword looked cause of the dumbass skirt it has
>>23750727Meanwhile a toy that's half the price....
>>23750751Why did Toei never consider making a train+dinosaur Sentai after the success of Kyoryuger and ToQger?
>>23750751Off-topic and that one doesn't have electronics nor a battery gimmick.
>>23750755They acknowledged the potential
>>23750757These special Resshas were pretty cool. Too bad they didn't make more.
>>23750755Ryusoulless proved that it would've flopped>>23750760>Too bad they didn't make more.they did.
>>23750762I meant more than the ones that were made. Like Sentai robo Ressha based on 90's Sentai or even one based on Varidorin
>>23750762Fucking sad that Ryusoulger failed because I prefer it's aesthetics the most out of the dino Sentai
>>23750718Not really sadly. Erica is super pretty but I wish she has more meat. Would elevate her to 12/10
Kinda surprising Gavarion only use 1 battery
>>23750780CraneJoe was really surprised.
>>23750198
Dang you guys are already on thread number 3 i should have cheked earlierI was rewatching the kyu/deka/gavan crossover episode and i think everything will be ok gavan was always a cool ally and he deserves to have the spotlight for a few years i wanna see what kind of adventures this new red guy will have
>>23750780They finally got the technology. Like the Meta Quest controllers only use one battery.
Bigger images.
>>23750550Assuming the 23 episodes deal is true, how many recaps are we getting between it? Even Ultraman had four at 25 episodes
Where Luminous
>>23750838>>23750830I can't get over him looking like a middle aged woman.
I can't wait for GoBus 2 to start!
>>23750831Best case scenario? One at the half way mark.
>>23750867Anon, that's a dream case scenario. Best case scenario means just four like Ultraman
>>23750831>>23750869Ultraman only had four because its required by the network
>>23750879And we got nothing to say that Toei will definitely not do the same
huh, anyone wanna help out? I used to be able to watch this vid that has all of the main robo dx toys being set up from gorenger to a recent sentai, but I can't seem to find it
>>23750771She's working on it.
Reiji's actor was cuter when he had long hair, imo.

>>23750188>Shirakura: Hey, looks like someone's here. 2025— Allow me to reintroduce myself from Toei. I'm Shin-ichiro Shirakura. Nice to meet you. I thought someone had come, and it turns out it was Ricardo from Brazil... and Kuji!>Kuji: I'm Yoshito Kuji from Toei. This time, I'll be making the first entry in Project R.E.D. Today, I'm also producing Super Space Sheriff Gavan Infinity during the live broadcast. Nice to meet you.>Shirakura: Nice to meet you. Good morning.>>What's your relationship like?>Kuji: Senior producer on a grand scale?>Shirakura: What was that?>Kuji: When we worked together, of course, like when launching Boonboomger, he was an advisor for the startup, helping with all sorts of things.>Shirakura: Yeah I did about 15 seconds worth.>Kuji: No, no, that's not true. It was more like getting his input along the way. Not like we worked together for a full year or anything.>>Of Toei tokusatsu works produced by Shirakura-san, which ones stand out to you? What Toei tokusatsu works produced by Shirakura-san left a deep impression?>Kuji: The one I watched the most was Dairanger, so in that sense, that was my first encounter with a Shirakura work. But the one where I really noticed his name was Kamen Rider Hibiki.>Shirakura: Hibiki... huh!? >Kuji: Then I watched Kamen Rider THE FIRST, and thought, "So this is the way Shirakura produces". >Shirakura: This was as a customer?>Kuji: This was back when I was just a viewer, before joining the company. I was around high school age. Never imagined I'd be here talking about it like this.>Kuji: Speaking of student days, there was the action team thing?>Kuji: I was on a hero show action team doing action in the Tohoku region.>Shirakura: He even did what they call "the guy inside", you know.>Kuji: Yeah, as a suit actor, sort of. Not filming, but street-level hero shows, and even the final live tours on the down-low.(1/?)
>>23751169>Shirakura: He did all that. By the way, which final live tour was that?>Kuji: What was it called again? Gozyuger... I mean Goseiger! >Shirakura: Whoa, awesome! (laughs) >Kuji: Is it okay to joke like this?>Shirakura: By the way, what was the best role you landed?>Kuji: For both Shinkenger and Goseiger, I did Blue.>Shirakura: That's a lot—Gosei Blue too.>Kuji: Yeah, and I also did Kamen Rider shows, like Decade and Diend.>Shirakura: That's amazing—you were the lead!>Kuji: That wasn't the final live, though. In terms of build, I could do a Fukuzawa-san position too.>Shirakura: You kinda look like Fukuzawa-san.>Kuji: So during Gosei Blue, Red was taken by Takeuchi-san, and I just kept the Blue position straight into Gosei Blue. The Gosei Blue from Michinoku Coastal Trail. We don't really talk about that on set but something like that.>Shirakura: When dummies stand in for suit fittings, you guys slip in yourselves, right?>Kuji: Yes, I can do both.>Shirakura: Basically, if Lead-chan can't make it, and they send some random guy, the body type and height are way off, so it doesn't work as a reference. No choice but for Kuji to do it himself.>Kuji: The other day, during a robot check, I happened to have no schedule conflict and brought my kid along. I said, "He'll get in", and as they kept attaching the armor pieces on the ground, my kid started crying.>Shirakura: Did he look like he was being tortured or something.>Kuji: "Lead-chan turned into a robot!" Bandai was right there, but they stopped on the spot since they weren't trying to sell robots by making a kid cry. So someone else got in.>>Project R.E.D., when did you first learn about it, Kuji-san?>Shirakura: It's Impressive. >Kuji: I think I heard about it in a "just so you know" kind of way.>Shirakura: We definitely said something like "Gavan vibe", right?(2/?)
>>23751172>Kuji: Did we say Gavan? They pitched it with that image, I think. Timing-wise, probably after Boonboomger wrapped, though the concept was brewing a bit earlier. Around then, they shared the vision for what came next, including that Gavan-like thing. It was still just a possibility at that point. I remember hearing it out like that, and they asked for my thoughts, building on opinions layer by layer. Of course, it wasn't just mine—they exchanged views with all sorts of people. But they did hear me out too.>>How did you feel when you heard you'd be in charge as producer?>Kuji: One part gratitude— if they'd done it without involving me, I'd have been jealous or regretful. And from Shirakura-san's perspective, as the "Girls' School guy" (he's referring in production style), it was probably like, "If you think you can do it, give it a shot". So, could I rise to that?>Shirakura: Jealous? It took me 30 years.>Kuji: Hearing you say that, of course there's pressure, but I thought it'd be great if I could enjoy it.(3/?)
>>23751169Kuji sure knows how to kiss ass.
>>23751174>>How much red do as hero have to have to be consider part of R.E.D.?>Shirakura: I thought it might be better to come up with a cool title. While everyone had various ideas, making it something whose initials spell out RED felt stylish, right? It suits this timeslot, right? It's fitting to succeed Super Sentai, right? So, on a whim, we named it Project R.E.D, like that. That means it's locked into being all about red heroes. It'll end up being all red characters. Like Sentai, if we gather past Project R.E.D heroes or characters, it could turn into something that's always red. Worrying about that now won't get us anywhere. Let's just go for it, go for it—that kind of feeling. So, there's not really a strong obsession with red characters themselves. But since it's within the Project R.E.D framework, we can naturally make them red. How do we make it red? Normally, for new characters, you consider color schemes, right? Getting boxed into the typical is really cliché, or you try other color variations—what color works best? We can skip that stage. Let's start with red first. Accent colors can be other hues, but this might accidentally create an environment that's easy for birthing new characters.>Kuji: That really rang true for me. Especially red heroes— Toei has been producing them for many years. In that sense, as you mentioned inheriting know-how, I feel like there's also a drive to make red heroes cool and not lose out to other companies.(4/?)
>>23751114>>23751120of course best frontier girl gets it
>>23751179>Shirakura: I don't know anything about it. Senior's Red became hugely famous, so it almost felt like Super Sentai invented it. But before that, things like Kamen Ninja Akakage, or the concurrent Captain Ultra— its protagonist is red for some reason too. So, Toei has continuously done red heroes. But if it becomes a strict constraint, it turns into a limitation. Rather, I'd like it to be loose, like "red is fine too". I think that's good. By the way, since we're calling Gavan the first installment, that naturally means there's a plan for a second one, right? Will the second one be red too?>Kuji: It's definitely not wrong to think it'll be red. That's not a slick way to put it. More than Gavan's image, it's about the direction Toei is heading. Nothing was visible at all— it was groping in the dark, really interestingly so. The feeling was like, let's just shine a red light ahead. In a sense, our resolve was set that way. Of course, there's no answer yet.>Shirakura: Indeed, compared to something vague like a Toei Hero Universe or other abstract concepts, R.E.D might have given a bit of an image. In hindsight, though.>>What’s the specific image for the "PROJECT R.E.D." series?>Kuji: It made sense to me. Rather than a model— of course, when explaining to others, using those helps make it easier, but a bit more like, if I say something flexible, like Jump Heroes or, in games, Smash Bros.— where heroes stand side-by-side without specifying past ones, this one's good, that one's good too— that kind of thing, system-wise not formulaic, "you can line these up", "is it weird to line these up?"— I roughly imagined them standing together in the future, and I hope we can make that happen. But if you say War Brothers or something, it pulls too much in that direction, so I'm wondering about that balance.(5/?)
>>23751182>Shirakura: Shared universes or connected worldviews are tough. We've always done parallels absolutely. If Boonboomger's finale makes the world peaceful, end. Then next week, new enemies appear— "Hey, Boonboom-chan, where'd you go? Come back from space!" We'd have to pick new warriors again— that standalone reset feel. VS. a continuous one like this. When introducing a brand-new hero in history, "Call the previous hero!"—that difficulty exists, right? Like Gundam, set in some distant future in history, or you could skip, but if it's events happening in the current timeline, space and present-day contemporary, fiction defined as two events—it's extremely hard. Western films like Batman and Superman— Metropolis and Gotham across the bay, Coastal City nearby—different cities. That river is hard to cross. For neighborhood heroes protecting their turf, you can develop with locality. But for Earth guardians or world protectors, going broad makes it tough. I think they've prepared those values well, so when the lid opens, most people will think, "That's huge". They can do it.(6/?)
>>23751183>>About the global rollout of "PROJECT R.E.D.">Shirakura: We're not doing global rollout yet, but I expect it to become that universally appealing. Naturally, like Power Rangers or Kamen Rider—maybe not fully, but fans like Ricardo Cruz in Brazil who love Metal Heroes— they're all over the world. It's not just "we'll keep doing Gavan series", but as an entry point, I think it's great. What's tricky is the position of Rider or Sentai in Japan VS. overseas—different per region/country, literacy varies completely. Super Sentai has run 50 years, Kamen Rider 55—without that history, where to start is unclear. If someone starts with Kamen Rider Zeztz suddenly, and you say there's endless series before— it conveys despair. "Can't understand Rider without all this?" That's a problem point in exploring globalization— we must break through it. If "just watch this from now on", "this alone is enough"— setting that starting point isn't trivial. For Project R.E.D, Gavan Garabyrinth's super space form, Gavan Ga— I hope we get such opportunities.>>Without the "Super Sentai series" title, what do you want to try?>Kuji: I didn't feel it as a constraint, but as you said earlier, long-running series carry that contextual baggage, making it seem continuous somehow. Rather, the starting line is the same for experts and casuals— that's the meaning of cutting a fresh start. Of course, work tastes matter, but how it connects to society, communicates— I feel this is a chance to do various things, so we'll rack our brains to make use of it!(7/?)
>>23751184>Shirakura: Gavan starts as a reboot of an old work, sure, but not rebooting Gavan itself we're borrowing the Gavan material well to smoothly transition from Super Sentai. From here on, entirely new hero shows beyond Sentai's light or what Sentai didn't have— maybe not even henshin heroes, possibly live-action battle things. I want it to expand new possibilities. This feels like something the Character Strategy Department or vague business unit is doing, but how do you do character business? Director Sakamoto has tons, but ultimately only two IPs: Kamen Rider and Super Sentai. We can make others, but the setup to make them absolutely exists. Great staff are born, know-how accumulated. Overthinking is bad, but staying within Kamen Rider/Super Sentai categories suppresses what we could really do. Probably an excess in a way. Using Super Sentai season know-how as a springboard/launchpad, first bullet, second, third— like a multi-stage rocket, I hope it launches up.>Kuji: Not limited to Kamen Rider— not Sentai from Senpai-san, not successors, not Rider. Just leveraging all three know-hows fully. That's where I struggle a lot, but target-wise, not narrowing to one spot. Rather, a system/program where different viewpoints enjoy together— better that way. This timing lets us expand, but forcing layers one way excludes others, and going forward it'd narrow more. I'll try to keep expanding consciously. Not aiming for average scores, but protruding outward. Among that, getting eyes on it, various hooks that pierce someone— preparing those leads to things that didn't exist before, unseen by anyone— I think that's the chance.>>PROJECT R.E.D. aims to raise the age demographic of its fans, so how will it differentiate itself from the "Kamen Rider" series?(8/?)
>>23751187>Kuji: I've been a fan who's watched Super Sentai, and I want all those fans to check out Gavan too—not just saying that the demographic Super Sentai covered is something I see differently. I think it was a show that was easy for younger, smaller kids to watch too, but I don't think it was specialized only for that. In a way, it's a program that all generations and all genders can enjoy, and what I'm aiming for is to bring together Super Sentai fans with fans of various other contents so everyone can enjoy it together.>>In the future, are there options for Toei tokusatsu series beyond broadcast TV?>Shirakura: Limiting it to Project R.E.D., I've always thought it would be great to have an original TTFC program. So please make it happen, TTFC team!>>How long do you plan to continue PROJECT R.E.D.?>Shirakura: You're getting ahead of yourself. First off, for the initial entries—like the first, second, and third installments—I'd love for one of them to suddenly hit it big, that's what I'm wishing for anyway. But as for settling in, we've only announced the first one and haven't actually started production yet, so the real test might come with the second or third entry. From here, we're gradually planning to move away from the format Toei has been producing for decades. We'll experiment and see how that's received—if it doesn't land, we might swing back the other way. I want to do all sorts of trial and error like that, and for the early stages at least, I hope it hooks viewers enough to allow for those experiments.(9/?)
>>23751190>>Why choose "Gavan" as the theme for the first entry?>Shirakura: It might not be strictly generational, but around 1982, when I was in high school, I watched it and it really shocked me. That was right when Toei was making cool stuff—actually, it was the previous generation of creators. I'd graduated from tokusatsu and random shows, chasing not just Toei productions but everything from special movie sites to "Saturday Night at the Theater"—I was a total Toei fanboy back then. And Gavan started right in the sweet spot. It made me think, "Toei is amazing". Personally, that's not the only reason we're doing this Gavan, but it had that kind of societal impact at the time, which I experienced firsthand. So I definitely think there's a fan base for it. Like with lineups of kid's shows that are sponsor-driven, as a two-generation hero—something parents and their kids can enjoy together—rebooting Space Sheriff in a form different from sponsor driven kid shows felt right somewhere along the line. Just like Producer Kuji said earlier, to broaden the audience beyond just kids and spill over generations, I thought this theme fits perfectly. Also, even though it's called Space Sheriff, Gavan was really an Earth Sheriff. He comes from space but stays on Earth, with the battlefield in pillow space—what's cosmic about that? That's one of the super fun contradictions in the three Space Sheriff Gavan series that built the Space Sheriff world. But this time, we're not denying pillow space or Earth or destroying space or anything. When challenging it again, I personally got really interested in how we could do it now.>>What do you want to express in "Super Space Sheriff Gavan Infinity"?(10/?)
>>23751194>Kuji: In that sense, the Space Sheriff world is incredibly interesting, and we thought a lot about what we can expand from the concepts of space and sheriff as a work. So please pay attention to that. In terms of direction, it's about how to express space when facing it now. And in terms of drama, with the sheriff element, criminals show up and you confront them—that's the appeal and fun of detective dramas we wanted to weave in somehow. In that vein, it's about facing sin, or rather, to enjoy delicious meals, it's better to live in a way you're not ashamed of—that kind of theme might be good to incorporate this time. But please wait a bit longer for the details.>>Can people who haven't seen the 1982 "Space Sheriff Gavan" still enjoy it?>Kuji: As I explained earlier, the base is that anyone can enjoy it without prior knowledge. That said, there are definitely a ton of Gavan lovers in the production staff and planning team, so in that sense, I think you'll enjoy seeing how that love and respect gets distilled into the work. Of course, you can enjoy it even if you don't know it.>>Are there themes inherited from "Space Sheriff Gavan"?>Kuji: Well, since we're not the staff who were involved back then, it's hard to say how much of the spirit we can carry, but at least it's made with love.>Shirakura: Don't hesitate.>>Who is the production staff for "Super Space Sheriff Gavan Infinity"?>Kuji: The main people handling it are centered around those who've been involved in Toei tokusatsu before, but how much this work will expand—I can't quite imagine it yet. At least in the producer team, there are people from various generations, some who know the old Gavan and some who don't, so it should become a work with diverse viewpoints.(11/?)
>>23751195>Shirakura: It's the follow-up to Super Sentai, but we're not thinking about completely changing it. Of course, we want to say "Project R.E.D. is here properly" so it doesn't feel lonely, but we also want developments unique to this project. Naturally, I think it'll become a masterpiece from here on.>>From Mr. Kuji's perspective, is Shirakura-san "Chou Gavai"?>Shirakura: More like, what does "Gavai" even mean in the first place?>Kuji: By the way, Shirakura-san is Gavai, but Chou Gavai is probably a bit further ahead—or rather, something that's hard for everyone to find. So whether Shirakura-san is Chou Gavai is still unknown. What does it mean? The meaning is unclear. Sorry, I hadn't thought about this question. What is it?>>Kuji-san, right now, what's the ratio between "Bakuage" and "Chou Gavai"?>Kuji: But I think Chou Gavai and Bakuage stand side by side. It's Bakuage for Chou Gavai, but gradually, there are people who have no idea what we're saying. Just a bit, in producer meetings, when we said "Bakuage", it landed okay, but when we said "Gavai," it kinda fell flat. So we'll try a little harder.>>What do you think is the "Gavai" of Toei tokusatsu?>Shirakura: What should we do? It'd be great if we had a clear definition of Gavai. Gavai is better than Gabagaba, right? Lately, our budgets have been kinda gabagaba (loose/shaky). I want it to feel more gavai. It'd be nice if you all use it. I have no idea what it means. What was funny about Bakuage was, Kuji here has this pretty deadpan character, right? When he says "Bakuage" in that flat tone, it's hilarious—in meetings, everyone thought so. Then Boonboomger started airing, and Iuchi's acting as Taiya is all "Bakuage", and everyone started saying it from his side. I imagined it was some torture-level vibe, but nope—turns out everyone's pretty cool, like Kuji's character. I still don't really get the definition of "Gavai". But I'm sure it'll make sense once you watch the main show.(12/?)
>>23751198>Kuji: You'll get it when you watch the show. You'll understand once you see it.>Shirakura: Is that how Fuji (TV) talks these days, or totally different? I bet people want it explained as "Gavai" or whatever.>Kuji: Feel it. That's exactly right.>Shirakura: Feel it.>Kuji: I want Shirakura-san to use it.>Shirakura: Me?>Kuji: Please do.>Shirakura: Lately, things have been a bit gavai, you know? My legs and hips are feeling gavai.>Kuji: Use it in a good way, please! >Shirakura: When I exercise, my body gets gavai, but...>Kuji: That's the good kind.>Shirakura: When I go full Edo-kko (old-school Tokyo guy), it turns into a "gabbeh">Kuji: Got it.>Shirakura: It starts getting a bit baba (worn-out).>Kuji: We'll think of more variations.>>Is the "Super Sentai series" ending?>Shirakura: I don't think of the Super Sentai series as ending—more like going on hiatus. We've hit the 50th anniversary, sure, but keep making One-Number-Zero (like 51st, 52nd) forever? I feel like that's not quite right. So at this point, for Toei, for the world, for the fans, and for us producers too, we absolutely need a chance to step back and rethink what Super Sentai really is. There are things like "eternal series"—Rider has them too, but Sentai is even easier to make into V-Cinema or TTFC specials. Lately, or last year especially, it felt like they were overflowing. In the world, there are things that are "nice to have" versus things you "can't live without". They seem similar, but they're actually quite different. Sentai started feeling like "of course it exists", and "eternals are a given too". To recheck Sentai's value, we can't let it become "of course it continues every year". If we do, Sentai's value drops—that's my honest take. It'll definitely come back stronger someday, but we need a generation that rebuilds Sentai from an objective view, not just diving in deep. That's how I feel.(13/?)
>>23751200>>Why didn't they promote No.1 Sentai Gozyuger at launch as "the final Super Sentai" (before hiatus)?>Shirakura: Because the follow-up show wasn't decided yet. We thought, "Okay, 50th is hiatus for Sentai". What next? TBD. That'd make everyone anxious—staff too, and viewers.>>What can we expect for Super Sentai series developments on TTFC going forward?>Shirakura: Anything?>Kuji: We're doing manga and stuff. In that sense, we're collaborating with TTS on audio content too, with some consultation. We didn't want fans who just got into it to have supply cut off suddenly, so we thought, "What can we do?" Personally, I like manga, so if it's a challenge worth trying, let's go. We always appreciate the support.>Shirakura: By the way, what form exactly? Fully here?>Kuji: We released digital manga even during broadcast—on the day before, back then. This time, it's post-finale, like a story slotted between the end and the VS movie that only existed in Tomioka-san's head. Felt like a waste, so we asked them to release it and turned it into a manga.>Shirakura: Not just "make it a manga", but something that would've been scrapped otherwise, so we properly shaped it into manga form. That's essential, right? For sure.>Kuji: Thank you.>Shirakura: Once that's done, check out the Sanseater arc too.>Kuji: Thank you. The Sanseater arc was teased a bit during the final live event.>Shirakura: We put out novelize novelizations. Oh yeah. Get into it. Dang, I extended it too much. Slipped up.>Kuji: Such amazing fan service!(14/?)
>>23751202>>What's the essence of the Super Sentai series?>Kuji: When I think about Super Sentai seasons, there are of course all sorts of appeals, but one big one is how colorful and vibrant they are—pictures packed with colors that are just fun, of course. But more than that, it's those moments where everyone gets hyped together, you know? It's structured in a way that really gets everyone enjoying it as a group. TV is something you might watch alone at the time, sure, but the real fun comes afterward—talking about "That was like this, right? And that happened!" Or looking forward to next week. Sentai definitely had that power to make those times enjoyable. That said, I wonder if that’s something only Sentai can do, or if there's a better way to deliver it in today’s world—something that feels even more satisfying now. I hope they keep thinking about that. Thanks for everything so far, and please keep it up!>Shirakura: Sentai is what drew attention to Toei as a company for me— heck, it’s what made me roll right into Toei. It's shaped my entire career, basically. Even now, watching something like the currently airing Gozyuger, I'm genuinely blown away thinking, "These people can make stuff like this?" It makes me reflect hard on the current state of Toei in the world. I think it’s top-tier entertainment— something the world has changed so much that it’s frustrating to see it taken for granted. It's like, "Japanese entertainment? Right here!" >>Is there a chance to do a second season of a popular work on TTFC? >Shirakura: It'd be great if we could. Even if it's like saying the TV broadcast of season 1 was just a trial run.>>If you hadn't become a Toei producer, what would you be doing? >Shirakura: A hero fan. >Kuji: Maybe a Sentai fan? Though you might say it’s a tough image. (15/?)
>>23751205>Shirakura: Probably something in computers. I'm a liberal arts type, not STEM, so not quite cut out for engineering. I'd probably be slogging away in sales, feeling down about it. Back during job hunting and interviews, everything outside Toei was computer-related. >>Really? That’s impressive. Not other entertainment industries? What would you even do there?>Kuji: Way computers or something— that's some intense stuff.>Shirakura: It's not like I was super knowledgeable about computers. It was a student-era hobby, mixed with entertainment. Computer stuff or entertainment stuff— hobby in one, job in the other, either way. But when it came to entertainment, at the time, Toei was the only one I cared about.>Kuji: You could've decided after joining Toei, right? How was it?>Shirakura: Was it good or bad?>>Which character from which work do you think is most like your personality? >Shirakura: A character like me? Probably a villain. Actually no, no, no, I'm kinda too skinny for that. But then again still has a bit of charm, you know? So Yeah, that's it.>>One kanji character to represent Toei tokusatsu in 2025 and the coming 2026? >Shirakura: For Toei tokusatsu in 2025, one character: "Special" —a truly special year for tokusatsu. And 2026...>Kuji: "Super"— as in surpassing everything. All sorts of things, by superhumans.>Shirakura: Super exciting! Chou Gavai-type!>>Can we keep believing in Toei tokusatsu in 2026 too? Yes, hai, or onegai! >Kuji: Ready... >Both: "Yes!" (said in english) (16/16)
Aiming to Surpass His Past Self and Create "A New History of Gavan" – Interview with Kouhei Nagata as Gavan Infinity / Reiji Doki in Super Space Sheriff Gavan Infinity: https://www.animatetimes.com/news/details.php?id=1770274578 Building a "New Gavan" for the Modern Era>>Please tell us your feelings when you were chosen as the lead in Super Space Sheriff Gavan Infinity.>Kouhei Nagata (as Gavan Infinity / Reiji Doki; hereafter Nagata): When my casting was confirmed after the audition, I felt that this wasn't just about inheriting the storied image of "Gavan" from the past, but a project to construct a "new Gavan" for the modern era. Since I myself admired Gavan's visuals and worldview, there was pressure and responsibility to surpass them. But even more than that, I have high expectations for how the story will unfold and its future possibilities. Whenever I accomplish something, I always have the mindset of "Let's create something new with our own hands". With that challenge in mind, I'm approaching daily filming in hopes of delivering the work to everyone in the best possible form. I'm personally excited to see how this work will turn out and how it will be received.>>What charms do you find in this grand-scale work?>Nagata: I think the fact that so much remains unknown is a huge appeal of this work. It features the multiverse (Cosmo Layer) concept, and the protagonist Reiji will strive across different-dimensional Earths. Even from reading the scripts, I strongly felt the massive scale of a story that spans not just one Earth but various worlds on a cosmic level. We actors don't fully know how the story will unfold either, but rather than anxiety, I'm mostly excited. The seniors are very kind, and on set, we actors communicate closely to shape everything together.(1/?)
>>23751209"It's Seriously Super Cool!">>Reiji feels like a character with strong justice and honesty toward his "anger." What do you keep in mind when portraying him?>Nagata: I'm conscious not to get too fixated on the emotion of "anger". Rather than just showing emotions outwardly, I think it's important to be natural first. On top of that, I aim to express emotions that arise naturally and the atmosphere unique to tokusatsu. "Anger" isn't self-centered; it can naturally include "getting angry for someone else's sake" by empathizing with others. So when acting, I start by understanding that person's feelings. I believe Reiji's life experiences up to becoming Gavan form the foundation of those emotions. Also, toward enemies, I don't see them merely as "things to eliminate", but infuse my performance with a sense of questioning like "Is that okay?" or "Don't stray from the path". I'm conscious of the nuance of facing the opponent straightforwardly as a fellow human, without prejudging them as enemies.>>Reiji seems impulsive at first glance, but actually observes his surroundings carefully before acting.>Nagata: A wider field of view is better, but I feel there's no need to flaunt it obviously. Even if he understands everything, he deliberately doesn't show that part. Even if it's a "judgment because he sees it", I act without overexposing "what he sees." I'm happy if that subtlety comes across naturally through the footage.(2/?)
>>23751213>>There must be unique expressions from Director Fukuzawa. What kind of discussions did you have with him?>Nagata: With Director Fukuzawa (Hirofumi), we've had thorough discussions from the character's overall image to minute inner settings. We talked about making Reiji's anger and impulses before transformation connect seamlessly to his movements after. That's a major highlight, and I'm conscious of letting Reiji's emotions flow naturally in my performance. To that end, I'm communicating closely with suit actor Shigeki Ito. I learn from his movements, and I make suggestions like "I want to move like this here" considering ad-libs. It's truly grateful to have an environment where we confirm each other's intentions—such a warm set.>>Even in action scenes, the emotions of the moment are solidly conveyed.>Nagata: Yes. I'm always conscious of what emotions Reiji reaches during deposition or mid-action. Past works are genuinely cool, making me think "I want to do that too", but this time, I'm layering my own emotions on top to convey that intensity to viewers.>>What are your impressions of Gavan Infinity's suit and design?>Nagata: It's seriously super cool! On set, I got to see the suit from various angles, and it's cool no matter the viewpoint. Especially the light reflections unique to Metal Heroes are amazing—it looks great in morning, daytime, or night scenes. I'm not from the generation when Metal Hero series aired, but through this shoot, I've rediscovered their appeal. I also saw up close how the lighting staff pours their heart into making it shine beautifully, so I think the footage will turn out top-notch.(3/?)
>>23751214Surpassing His Past Self>>From episode 1, it spans multiple Earths. Any points that particularly impressed you?Nagata: As the story's start, each episode properly sets up hooks like "What happens next?" to draw viewers in. Of course, pay attention to the action, but also the strong story pulls. Also, keep an eye on the Emorgear "Gekido". I don't know how it looks on screen, but from behind during D-Jump (dimensional transcendence), its butt jiggles cutely—very adorable.>>Tell us about the appeal of Colonel, a member of Multiverse Earth A0073, and his assistant AGI.>Nagata: Colonel is my same-period peer and the best partner for casual chats. His presence enables us to overcome hardships together; he's indispensable to Reiji. AGI is an autonomous AI created by Colonel, but to me, it somehow has Colonel's "quirks" (laughs). Including her appearance and speech, I get the impression she's "under Colonel's influence". >>(Laughs).>Nagata: Their usual interactions are fun in a "Here they go again" way. They create a relaxed atmosphere. Reiji has a heavy past and sometimes broods alone, but these comrades help him stay calm or find salvation. Amid serious battles, the comedic elements and warm exchanges are a big charm of this work.>>In terms of harmony, characters like Rikiya Wanibuchi and Patran are also memorable.>Nagata: Those two... are really no good (laughs). But they're great characters. Things born from their presence are real. As peers, they're undoubtedly precious comrades. How Reiji's bonds with comrades are depicted is a vital element. In acting, I treasure the emotional shifts born from interactions with them.(4/5)
>>23751215>>In line with the theme of "surpassing", what do you personally want to overcome through this work?>Nagata: In terms of visual expression and my own experience, I want to keep challenging new realms. This time, I got opportunities for wire action and other techniques beyond my past career. At first, it was all trial and error, but trusting the staff, we're tackling it as a team. Holding onto the feeling of "surpassing my past self", I want to create a new history of Gavan together with the top staff and cast.(5/5)

>>23751169>Dairanger>HibikiWhy are Kuji's favorite shows the two really experimental seasons with fantastic action that have some of the worst finales in their respective franchises?
>>23751218>Dairanger, a show Shirakura was barely involved in because he was an assistant producerWhich again emphasizes his outsized influenced despite being an AP. Much like how Shirakura wants to take credit for making Daizyujin the face of Super Sentai robos.>Hibiki, a show Shirakura had to take over where almost every creative aspect of it wasn't made by himThe official kiss ass party line is that he salvaged the second half from the mess made by the previous creative team and that Inoue and Shirakura put their personal creative stamp on Hibiki. This is just going along with the "genius" of Shirakura as a producer. Likewise with him praising the First. If he wanted to be more obvious, he'd say Kiriya was the best character in Hibiki.
>>23751232Wasn't the only thing Shirakura did in The First assign Inoue as head writer then the rest was handled by Takeyuki Suzuki?
>>23751232>>23751218You two are reading way too much into it, Kuji had talked about Hibiki being his favorite toku before this interviewKuji is producer himself so he understands that Shirakura wasn't that involved, he's just honestly stating that the shows that he liked the most with Shirakura's involvement were the ones that weren't headed by him
>>23751114Isn't it unusual to release the full version this early?https://youtu.be/UEquvZ9SHUI
>>23751114>>23751245OP theme is a banger, reminds me a bit of Kaguya-sama OP themes for some reasonHopefully the video is good
Project R.E.D. sex with Rui!
>>23751220the yen is currently super weak making trips more affordable, and I was also talking about visiting japan during the final episode airing. You might have seen my posts last week.
Fun fact: The “Yaada” (“Don’t want”) Emorgear is actually based on Fuuma’s Rare Beast Yaada (same name) in Shaider
Has Over-Time commented on whether they'll be subbing Gavan? It doesn't seem like they will be releasing english subs so far considering what Shirakura said and Shout not saying anything despite posting an english subbed teaser
>>23751273I'd hold off on that. Apparently there's a lot of jeets in Japan now.
>>23751114>>23751245>Cover using Gavan Infinity as character instead the show logo for international releaseYeah, this kinda prove Hasbro had something with the international release of Sentai songs
>>23751294How?
>>23751245What is Japan's fixation with putting "love" in all of their songs. It could be a Yakuza gangsters TV show and the lyrics would still have "love" in there somewhere.Anyway, this is pretty god-awful.
>>23751302I know he's getting up there in years, but why didn't they hired Kussy?
>>23751303all the showa era singers' time has passed. you must move on from them
>>23751298Because Toei is using a character instead of a blank background and the logo. In the case of Sentai, ANY of its characters fall under the Saban/Hasbro contract. Yes, even the unadapted
>>23751302Why are you so pissed off about a word? >>23751309>>23751294Except that they don't, every single for the OP and the covers for every OST does feature at least the red rangerYou're confused about the re-releases which are the blank backgrounds you're referring to
>>23751302Because modern japanese pop aesthetics are kitschVery innocently kitsch to be fair
>>23751311NTA, okay but now link to an actual overseas release of a sentai soundtrack and not a japan only physical release.https://www.amazon.com/SENTAI-GOZYUGER-Music-Collection-Vol/dp/B0DWFMZ1GG>MAR 16 2025https://music.amazon.co.jp/albums/B0DWFP4ZV1>MAR 16 2025
>>23751321I stand corrected, I never question why every OST in Spotify was this blank background so I guess this is probably whyBut we don't know yet if Project R.E.D. will be like this because the theme hasn't released internationally yet, but I assume it's as you say
>>23751154Yo
>>23751290Neat didn't know that
Gavan Infinity latin american sub next week
>>23751348So Gavan Infinity as a whole is releasing a week late unlike Zeztz which releases the same day?
This is gonna be a gavantastic day
>>23751352It was supposed to be simulcast but Toei didn't send the episode in time.
>>23751172>as they kept attaching the armor pieces on the ground, my kid started crying.>>Shirakura: Did he look like he was being tortured or something.>>Kuji: "Lead-chan turned into a robot!" Bandai was right there, but they stopped on the spot since they weren't trying to sell robots by making a kid cry. So someone else got in.That's cute
>>23751307You say that, but its most likely they will hire him for an insert down the line. That or use May'n for remixes of the original OP and Chase! Gavan.
Is gavan getting subs on YouTube like zeztz?
>>23751290>unironically calling it emorgear still Is this some weird bait?
Now we have two Kamen Rider shows
>>23751387Hopefully Gavan wont be a snoozefest like Zeztz.
I know we're talking about Gavan,But in Shinkenger, Did Doukoku really keep Dayu around only because of her music or was it deeper than that? This'll make me sound like a shipper but on a current rewatch it really feels like Doukoku has some kind of attraction to her but can't express it normally because he's a creature born from the Sanzu river.
>>23751387You sure love repeating this statement
>>23751391The vibe I always got is that he sees her at the very least as part of his family, and her music was a part of said home, it could also be interpreted as romantic but they all are inhuman monstersBut I don't know if the staff every gave any real answer>I know we're talking about GavanAnon you can discuss Sentai normally, this general isn't just about Project R.E.D.
>>23750936Niggas say shit like this but here we are awaiting the premiere of Gavan 3.0 because Gavan 2.0 worked out so well.
>>23751399Toei did all that work and crossover shit to set up I guess Gavan and Metal Heroes returning as movie serials only for jack shit to come of it.The company is a real mess.
>>23751399What's your obsession with Shirakura and Trump? Don't invoke /pol/ shit here unless they're actually funny like the Abe posts during Build
>>23751391He probably just appreciated her, not necessarily in a romantic way.
>>23751207>For Toei tokusatsu in 2025, one character: "Special" —a truly special year for tokusatsu. And 2026...>Can we keep believing in Toei tokusatsu in 2026 too? Yes, hai, or onegai!Oh, fuck off you cunt.
>>23751218>>Dairanger, a show Shirakura was barely involved in because he was an assistant producerHe's still very proud about it in interviews.
>>23751394Honestly I think it was kind of desire to posess her, but he had grown past her rejections, However when she deicded to give up her life for him, He did value her sacrifice, it's a small moment that gave him a lot of character.Also I finished, Gozyuger...Man I really fucking hope Project R.E.D Dies quickly, Ending Sentai on that note is just depressing.
>>23751302Man, Anon-kun. I have NO IDEA why the show, that has its powers based around emotions, would have a theme song titled love is the strongest. It is an absolute mystery and we may never solve it.....
>>23751382>>23751392>>23751403What is this kind of autism called?
>>23751302The show premiered on valentine’s anon
>>23751302Every time I look at /krg/ and these threads I am reminded of this image and it all makes sense to me.
>>23751423Only one of those is me, so I can tell you're projecting a little hard right now. Life must be hard for you.
>>23751424Today is the 15th in Japan, retard.
>>23751428>Only one of those is meBeing one of them is bad enough already.>so I can tell you're projecting a little hard right now. Life must be hard for you.Oh, so your life really is tough? No wonder, with the crippling autism and all.
>>23751420Sentai is entering hiatus and they didn't intend for Gozyuger's finale to feel like the ending for the franchise, the upcoming VS movie isI don't get wanting a franchise to die just because of that
>>23751426More than that it's picrel, but that anon is specially pathetic for being mad about love of all things
>>23751426You know you're also complaining by complaining about complaints, right?
>>23751435If I embody all 4 of these, am I like an Ascended Autist?
I cant wait to watch the new Super Sentai with my /ssg/bros!
>>23751457I'm going to miss the gozyu OP for a little while
>>23751169>>23751184I can't believe Brazil influenced Shirakura to finally kill Sentai!
>Gavan airing in less than two hours>still no news about English subs
>>23751484It still hasn't hit me that it's airing this soon, is there a stream for it somewhere?
>>23751484it isn't getting the zeztz treatment, so it's getting the yearly sentai treatment. sub groups will watch it and if they like it, put out subs. ot, flame, o-baka-san-tachi, maybe a grifter or two.
>>23751494>o-baka-san-tachiTV-Nihon still exists?
>>23751495they got scared off by the same (fake?) c&d letter that OT got back in the day that scared them off their own website. just like ot, they still kept going in "secret" as [Anon]
>>23751484>>23751494So I guess that's the final nail in the coffin for the WE HAD TO CANCEL SENTAI BECAUSE SOMETHING SOMETHING SABAN SOMETHING SOMETHING HASBRO SOMETHING SOMETHING POWERFUL RANGERS excuse
>>23751497shut the fuck up
>Tokusato confirmed we're getting br and spic subs a week after airingLater, losers.
>>23751497Its just shirakura and toei, they told bandai they were sick of filming that shit for 50 years, bandai didn’t care what they did as long as they could sell a toyline that fit the sentai toy cadence.
> Gavan Infinity is officially coming to Latin America. Unlike Zeztz, it will premiere with a one-week delay due to technical issues with material deliveryBravo Toei
>>23751245Funky!
Are there really latinoamerican anons here? I thought I was the only oneStill I hope Shout subs because TokuSato despite being a better deal they don't translate japanese text on-screen
>>23751511I've been here since LupinPato
>>23751387So 3 years ago.
>>23751499Autistic screeching is not an argument.
>>23750194Why not use the "other toku" general? Also is no group going to stream it like Zeztz?
>>23751536take it or leave it
The new SHT banner/bumper is cool
>>23751540Putting Gavan Infinity on /otg/ would overshadow any other toku discussions.
>>23751540We're not taking over another general
>>23751540Super Sentai and Project R.E.D. are going to get way more discussion than the rest so it's better not to mix them so that both can get proper discussionAlso so far no english subs so no livestream like Zeztz, the company that subbed Zeztz released a subbed teaser but no info for actual subs yet
Where were you when Rita was kill?I was watching Zzezztztz when Zetzzttz called>Ritta is killno...
>>23751511argie here, I will not be watching sato's subs for GI. A whole week is too much for me. Do you watch shout's subs on a VPN? are they on time? do they stay on their youtube channel or do you need a membership like sato?
>>23751565SO they are still doing sentai.
>>23751511Yeah. I'm not picky with subs, but I'll watch the official too anyway. It's not Sentai sadly, but I'll support toku anyway.
>>23751577lyk dis if u cri evertim
>>23751582>Do you watch shout's subs on a VPN?I just use nyaa, if I can't use nyaa then I just download it from /m/'s mega, Shout's subs release 2 hours and 30 minutes after the RAWI just hope we can get a fansubber for Gavan then so that we don't have to wait a whole week
GAVAN INFINITY TIME!
There's 5 of them
Makuu...
Reminds me of King-Ohger's castle
Cool mech space fighting
Fighting in normal civilian form, that's good.
guess I'll wait for someone to sub Gavan, fuck you toei
nice fighting
Guess we're getting the OP visuals next week
The Commander reminds me of Captain Ryuya…
>He just straight up talks like DIOHell yeah
Already getting an insert? Cool
>insert song>cool ost>out of suit actionI already loving this
>hothead redcount me out senpai
Opening is growing on me already, but fuck you I wanted Kussy.
>Gavan has a gun that makes people gay
I love how heavy they're making the suit sound
Nice Emoergear, bro...
DIO
>>23751629Reminded me of MachineMan's thing.
A secret bunker in a pet grooming shop?
Reiji has a raspier voice than I was expecting
Im already liking Reiji's character
Shimozono(and family)!!!
>>23751626>pull you back in now that he's shown to be pretty levelheaded
>>23751639SO it is a sentai.
>>23751640He's very charismatic and personable.
cute grill...
The bro eating rice is 100% betraying them
OSHIETE, AGI-CHAN!
>>23751639>bushido is the only unique gavanbest one by default
>>23751606Oh, I never checked nyaa for anything other than the fansubs lmaoalso FUCK this new captcha, the previous ones were fine but fuck this one in particular
That CM has like a nice Gavarion jingle/song. Actual in-show one?
His senpai died in combat it seems
was previous gavan headshotted or did the filter just make it look like that?
>>23751639Digitally colored...
pink earth
Welcome to Pink EarthAlso a showa style eyecatch
Is that a movie about Kumade's past?
>that eyecatch soundGave me nostalgia, wish it had paintings like the oirginal
>>23751669The movie is the VS between Gozyuger and Boonboomger that will conclude Sentai's history for now, written by the guy that did Revue Starlight and Cross AngeThe Kumade thing is a prequel mini-series of Gozyuger focused on him written by the writer of Ultraman Dyna and the Gridman Anime
>Agi ni Omakase
I'm guessing Pink Earth is Bushido's haunt
>>23751673And both will be overall better then Gozyuger itself
Tone is more KR than Sentai
>>23751685It's on the cusp between the two IMO
>cosplay instead of turning into a birdfirst instance of anti-soul in this episode
>Let us watch the transformation process once moreGavan kino
So the monsters are over-charged Emorgears?
I feel like I'll be able to get into Gavan's Infinity speech but there's no build-up for it. Also, that Laser Blade theme doesn't do much for me.
oh so the emorgears spawn monsters, I thought they'd turn the users into monsters
Okay, love the explanation of the JOUCHAKU
cool sword finisher
Already better than all of Gozyu
Even the finisher is similar to Avataro Slash
>>23751704Feels more like real hero toku then pretty much most of Gozyuger at this point
>>23751702Reminds me of Donbrothers which is good >>23751704Stop doing hyperbole
Avatarou ZAN
>>23751709The red can actIt WILL be better than Gozyuger
How was Gavan Infinity's premiere?
The EmoLgear are pretty cute
Pacing was a bit too fast for me but overall solid start and a good directional debut for Fukuzawa, still prefer Sakamoto but I'm excited to see Fukuzawa direct more in the future
We're totally getting an episode of a Gavan's emorgear creating a monster
>We stop the Winter Olympics to present Precure, Kamen Rider and GavanHoly kino
>>23751712Pretty cool overall
>>23751712bretty good
>>23751712Pretty good.
>>23751712Really solid, Reiji isn't a generic red, the worldview is interesting, the action is fantastic, the direction was good although not amazing, the OST goes surprisingly hard considering who's doing the musicMy only real issue was that the pacing was a bit too fast and that AGI doesn't turn into a bird
>>23751697The theme could use a little more oomph.
>>23751712Decent but I hope they let things breathe, the pacing was pretty breakneck.
>>23751639yeah that's Koto second from left I guess
https://twitter.com/ProjectRED_Toei/status/2022838771578999166
>>23751704low bar
>>23751726So he's the purple Gavan recolor from here >>23751639?
>>23751712I liked it
Sure feels nice to have a lead that can actually act again
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CoVf21-PRbc
Infinity looks neat but I worry that the premise is a little too "kitchen sink" for its own good. OG Gavan was a pretty simple setup and we have Ultraman Blazar to show that you can make simple work in modern day.
Reiji reminded me of Taiya.
>>23751712In terms of Reiwa Sentai debutsKing-Ohger > Gozyuger > Gavan Infinity > Donbrothers > Boonboomger > Zenkaiger > KiramagerBut I find it really difficult for this show to drop quality like Boonboomger because this seems more serialized making it harder for the writer to just leave, I feel like this show will be amazing but the whole "23 episode length" scares me a bit
>>23751741Look at his dick.
>>23751712it was ok
>>23751726Ark-Gavan
>>23751741>>23751745santouryu
>>23751726broken helmets always look sick
>same base/cockpit from kyuranger, repainted>same sword as donmomo, with a very similar cg attackbased
SH Figuarts Comfirmation>>23751726>Dragon OrphenocSo he's 100% getting a human form, find it weird that they reveal it like this
>>23751726>voiced by Rei Fujita huh
>>23751744>this seems more serialized making it harder for the writer to just leaveTrust me he's done it before.
>>23751753>same base/cockpit from kyuranger, repaintedI don't think they kept that set for 9 years
>>23751756>>23751744>Trust me he's done it before.5D's(?)
>>23751745that's a emorgear
Boonboomger was the only Reiwa Sentai I didn't like but I really like most of Tomioka's stuff I've watched and consider him a great writer overall Please don't fuck this up
>>23751726>>23751754>>23751755This is like when we learned about Kiramai Silver being Vram, but in reverse. Also, Ray Fujita is already a long-standing veteran, and now he's here to menace an entirely new (hopefully not stillborn) franchise.By the way, candy toy blog is still not updated. We'll never learn about the sussy baka Emorgears until when it comes out in fucking April. And the Project RED Gashapon website is still not open even after today's episode. In other words, wait for two fucking months.
>>23751757>here's the design of the set we made a decade ago, remake it>yes boss whatever you say
>>23751712Not the best for a franchise they desperately want to succeed, I've seen better intros for Sentai shows even in just the last few years. It gave me lots of Kyuranger and LuPat vibes.
English subs when?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pwx11PjDxoEBandai upload.
>>23751770When ever someone wants to sub it.
>the helmet's glow in the dark effect is done through CG instead of real LEDsLame.
>>23751775If they aren't dating, what are they?Weeks until Date and Koto become Gavan: 14 and 17, respectively.
>>23751761He stopped being a great writer years ago.
We're getting Gavan dance next weekhttps://www.toei.co.jp/entertainment/tv/GavanInfinity/episode-guide/detail/2.html
>>23751776Difficult to install LEDs on action suits, please understand. In fact, electronic wiring is now a safety hazard in such productions, and we don't want to literally cook suit actors alive with wires in their costumes now, do we?
>>23751776What did you expect from a SENTAI. They don't even have the traditional Metal Heroes eyes.
https://twitter.com/at_raku_grosso/status/2022838274172051814
The insert song from this episode is called "What's a Hero?" by May'N: https://columbia.jp/gavaninf/
Cameraman
>>23751778>If they aren't dating, what are they?Do you not have friends irl?
>>23751643>>23751786>It's a SENTAIDo you also think this was a Sentai?
>>23751783Zeztz is literally airing right now
>>23751791Yes, they're even numbered.
>>23751783Go ahead, keep making bullshit excuses for them.
>>23751791Yes
>>23751779BEM, Fantasian and his adaptation of Sentai Red Isekai were recent
>>23751791Yeh

YuDo Gavan Infinity(new kanji, new size).https://bandaicandy.hateblo.jp/entry/20260215_red
>>23751805
>>23751639So both girls are Luminous?
Feels very boonboomger with a fresh coat of paint. I like it already
>>23751807That gun is huge
>>23751796Anon you can see the LED was already starting to mess up in that scene and was the last time that version of the suit even used
>>23751808No, this is a flashback and the SHT bumper shows the other girl doesn't transform
>>23751817>last time that version of the suit even used
>>23751783Zeztz has glowing suits, however glowing suits isn't something Toei legitimately considers, the only reason Zeztz glows was because the director literally said "wouldn't it be cool if the suit glowed?" and since Zeztz is an unique situation where the director has more creative power they just did itIf Fukuzawa had decided to have a glowing suit they would have done it since he's seemingly a similar situation as Kami with Zeztz, but probably didn't since he has never done action for a show with glowing suits
>>23751814You wouldn't think there's a nearly 8 year age gap between these two.
>>23751808>>23751818It's not a flashback, it's a flashforward dream the commander has to a future he wants to avoid.
>>23751819LED is all fucked up here kek
>>23751825Reiji's actor has a good baby face
>>23751832>kekWhy are you defending not using LEDs and happy when LEDs fail?
So all the Gavans are from the same universe?
>>23751839Different universes/timelines/dimensions.
>>23751843But there are multiple Gavans in one universe, what with that space station with multiple docked ships
>>23751828Spirit Evolution!
>>23751839the idea is that in every universe, theres its own space police. and each space police, has a Gavan, tasked to fight Emolgear users and retrieve the corrupted emotions.the Gavans arent supposed to know who in the respective space police IS a Gavan for some reason. every Gavan believes is the only one.
>>23751847From the looks of it so far, each one has their own but Infinity moved to Bushido's universe and Bushido doesn't seem to be aware of Infinity prior to that. If I understand correctly, Infinity's posted at the R&D department and is being berated as a "money sink" so it's more likely that the space station have other non-Gavan officers.Basically, Gavan is part of some sort of Men in Black / Area 51 department working in the shadows while connected to a bigger proper peace-keeping organization.
I don’t like the costumes, they look like that shitty Power Rangers movie
>that laser blade finisherHoly soulless
>>23751855>Someone hating the OG Movie armors.dude, i like the sentai designs as much as the next guy, but the armors from the movie are pretty nice.
>>23751728Black and purple are two different colors, silly goose
>>23751862I’m talking about these
>>23751866oh... ok, fair enough there.
>literally sentaiWhy change the name then?
There's always that one anon that has to bring up power rangers just so he can bash it in front of everyone.
>>23751868Because it's not? Did you see them pose together with explosions behind them?
>>23751868The old farts at Toei think they're clever.
>>23751872It's literally a sentai. >>23751639
>>23751793>>23751796>>23751819tbf, I would think it would cost more of each suit to have LEDs in them, which is why they cut corners with CGI, plus Zetztz is the only rider with LED, neither from Nox nor the Lords have them iirc.
Aw man, if only they had the power to transform instantly in 0.000000001 of a second....
>>23751872Gojuujers only roll call (botched) happened in the final episode. Really, being a "team" wasn't that big of a creative limitation.
>>23751872>Did you see them pose together with explosions behind them?Hey, now. Even Akibaranger pointed out that a rollcall doesn't have to have explosions and that was 10 years ago.
>>23751880hey, Suckerpunches, failed Electroplates or just bouts of bad luck happen.
>>23751872dont respond to bait
>>23751878Guess Kamen Rider is Sentai then.>>23751881>>23751882In that case, then what is Sentai to you, just it being on the same timeslot as SHT next to Rider and Precure?
>>23751880What if the enemy is faster by 0.0000000001 of a second?
>>23751879It's weird how in the 80s and 90s they'd spend more on Metal Heroes shows, like they'd have actual battle damaged suits
>>23751889Wear the Gavan suit forever and eat and poop in it
>>23751890They could afford it back then and didn't think about suits dry-rotting out, remember Another Agito and Gills?
>>23751773Has Over-Time said anything about subbing this? I know they've done all of the Gavan Type-G and Space Squad movies, so it seems like something they would sub. Plus, with Sentai dead and Shout already subbing Zeztz, they don't really have any current toku to sub right now.
>>23751892Wait, does the suit has to be transported as a complete set or can it be done individually? Like removing the butt parts if you want to poop, the mouth parts if you want to eat, etc.
>>23751888You're being deliberately obtuse.
>>23751900Probably. If you can breathe in a suit, you can poop in it.
>>23751896Kinda sucks we will never get suits this detailed anymore...
>>23751558>>23751564>>23751561>don't post about metal heroes in the metal hero threadOnly other thing being talked about is the new Garo.
>>23751914Anon you can discuss Metal Hero in both, no one will bat an eye as long as you aren't annoying
>>23751806This shit had way too much bloom
Is Columbia Japan still the music label doing music for Gavan?
>>23751905And you're being retarded to say Gavan is Super Sentai with what little we've seen so far.
What's the best way to know when any English fansubs drop? Just refreshing Nyaa every couple hours?
>>23751929yup
>>23751914Gavan Infinity is not from Metal Heroes, it is from Project RED.
>>23751788Has anyone managed to clip it?
>>23751919Yes. >>23751788

Oh so it’s just more Kamen Rider. Kind of hoped they would take the opportunity to reinvent the genre but it’s literally just the exact same thing as normal. Looks the same, sounds the same, same effects, same Kabuki performance. It’s just the same?
>>23751954It's a really strong tackle.
>>23751958Isn't his emotion anger or something?
>>23751961It's an angry tackle.
>>23751759>>23751777Funny coincidence that the penguin looking guy is played by Yusei Fudo VA, Yuya Miyashita
>>23751956They finally realized two KR shows equals double the profit.
>>23751956yea that's how i feel tooit ain't bad. i don't like having flashbacks to things i already seen 30 seconds ago and many of the dramatic moments come across as stale and clitche but i mean its more tokusatsu.maybe i grew out of sentai........
>>23751325>because the theme hasn't released internationally yetNow that it already release, they still kept Gavan Infinity on the cover.
I see what they're doing, the first three episodes at ethe introductions or each gavan
When will Makuu finally enter the fray? Right now we are only dealing with lowly criminals and Emons which look the same.
>>23751956And you all said Kamen Rider didn't take huge inspirations from Metal Heroes, now Infinity is now like Kamen Rider.
>>23751995Yeah, it comes free with the sentai.You're not getting any plot until christmas.
Really digging the May'n songs.

My enjoyment of Infinity depends solely on the audio guy adding the metallic sounds.If they drop the clangs and wrrrrs I drop the show.

>>23752054Why would they?
>>23752040>hfw plant based chicken
>>23752056Rush and/or lazyness
>>23751996Next episode I think
I'm worried about Infinity's direction, Fukuzawa's first time as a director wasn't bad but it didn't wow me, and a lot of my favorite directors are occupied with Zeztz and then there's Sakamoto who's doing toku in China and Beat Runners when this started filming

>>23752109I heard this thing is made by AI for some reason all the way in /krg/... But why this early?Oh, and Televi Magazine and TV-kun have since made their publications seasonal, so they are labeled by their seasons instead of the months they cover now.

>>23752152It's the pack-in toy for the issue
>>23752129The utter lack of enthusiasm as she narrates the transformation kind of undermines it for me.
>>23752159Anon they're copying how Showa narrators spoke during demonstrations, like how Dekaranger did.
>>23752172I just watched the original Gavan last month, the narrator did not sound that sedated. Girl sounds like she was shot up with a tranquilizer.
>>23752175The narration isn't meant to sound enthusiastic.
>>23752111ah so there's where the 1 billion yen sentai sales projection is coming from. The original Champion boonboom jackets must have made bank
First episode was pretty decent. It didn't blow my mind but it wasn't bad. I really really like the Gavan suits and the fucking glowing during his finisher was fucking awesome.
>>23752172>>23752179And the coping begins.

>>23752457I'm glad they didn't fuck up and get somebody super young for a new IP.
>>23752431Apparently according to the interview the only factor of the butt is that they shake it a bit when traveling dimensions
>>23752492I miss them...
Yo! Gavan 1 is now on the Project R.E.D Viewer! Thanks to KyuuZ for the subs!
>>23752496>KyuuZThey didn't sub shit, it's Chou Eiyuu Subs.
>different countries confirmed getting official subs/dubs except US is this the revenge of Zeztz being only on US and several countries?
>>23752504But Zeztz is available in latinamerica, Thailand and Vietnam on top of the english speaking west, what are you on about?
>>23752499are there not two sets of subs in the download? I had the option to use both
>>23752370Yes yes yes fuck yes. Time to die motherfucking jew fuck yessss
>>23752483They twerk to travel dimensions?
>>23752515dont get your hopes up
>>23751169>>Yeah I did about 15 seconds worth.>>No, no, that's not true. It was more like getting his input along the way. Not like we worked together for a full year or anythingSo I guess this confirms what we already knew that the only thing executives helped with Boonboomger was booking Tomioka >>23751172>>For both Shinkenger and Goseiger, I did Blue>>Yeah, and I also did Kamen Rider shows, like Decade and DiendIt's neat to have a producer that has done action before, I think the only time it had happened before was Utsunomiya >>23751174>>Around then, they shared the vision for what came next, including that Gavan-like thing. It was still just a possibility at that point. I remember hearing it out like that, and they asked for my thoughts, building on opinions layer by layer. So I guess it's indeed like the later interview implied, Shirakura gave them a pull of things to reboot and Gavan was one of them, but I wonder if it's only 3 IPs making it a trick choice? >>Girls' School guyBetween this and the shows Kuji picked as his favorite Shirakura works I feel like he's mocking him, even Shirakura's reaction to him saying Hibiki kind of implies that, well at least they're both kinda honest I guess >>23751190>>I've always thought it would be great to have an original TTFC programHope this means we get more Gaidens for Sentai like the Stinger one>>if it doesn't land, we might swing back the other way. I want to do all sorts of trial and error like thatSo I guess they aren't sure if it can last beyond the 3 year mark
>>23751200>>Sentai started feeling like "of course it exists", and "eternals are a given too"I guess I sort of agree, I feel like a part of that is that people view Sentai as the "safe toku" while Kamen Rider is the "experimental one", and I don't really get why because there's a lot of above average variety from Jetman to ToQger >>23751202I hope this means we get more Sentai manga beyond Kuji stuff, I quite like Fuuto PI and the 2 Kamen Rider anime were really popular, but I guess they can't adapt it due to the Power Ranger ordeal preventing them from publishing works on Crunchyroll, Netflix and Amazon>>23751207>>Shirakura: A character like me? Probably a villainWelp at least he's still aware>>23752370It was to be expected and people have been saying this for years so hopefully he finally gets arrested, sadly because he passed the contract to Hasbro who then passed it off to Disney means his arrest won't give the Power Rangers rights to Toei
Does anyone have that Shirakura pic of a Saban documentary where he's looks so done with life? >>23752518More like they twerk as the travel, at least that's how the interview made it seem
>>23752515>>23752521>>23752370>>23752355It's either you sentaifags are retarded or just obsessed with that jew. There's no reason to talk about him anymore since he gave away the rights half a decade ago. at least the shirakura schizo is focused on someone that's still apart of the staff
>>23752492Kingohger was such a wonderful show to end Sentai at.
You're under arrest for pirating Sentai.
>>23752546*Donbrothers
>>23752555>Sentai ends in a rushed mess and the most low budget final battle ever fuck no
>>23752555Yes, sorry, thanks for correcting me
>>23752559stop responding to yourself
>>23752558>Sentai ends in a rushed messso Gozyuger
>>23752538I mean the power rangers documentary about him happened after he handed the rights to Hasbro and we talk about actors post-show sometimesI'm just explaining that him getting arrested isn't really going to change anything about the PR situation since that's what I think the other people who replied think
You have a better chance of getting laid by your sentai crush than anybody in those files facing any real consequences, now shut up and talk about space cops.
>>23752568Gozyuger's ending isn't rushed though.
Why do people hate him again? Aside from the things he did for Hibiki, Decade, Amazons, Kyoryuger Brave and Zi-O he's mostly done good for the studio, I mean he's part of the reason why Kamen Rider and JAE are still alive yet I see several people giving death threats to him in the west when Japan only does it for 2chan, and in 2chan's case they wish death upon every Toei producer but TsukadaI just don't really get where this hatred comes from and why people act that he's the sole person responsible of Sentai dying and Gotchard's issues, even more so when those same people praise Donbrothers which was recent
>>23752555>>23752559That isn't any better though. both shows have the same exact flaws just one is less entertaining than the other. Donbros shitposters...
>>23752589I don't even know who he is, or care, I just watch the shows I like and get the fuck on with it
>>23752589>Why do people hate him again? Quit being a fucking idiot and pay attention for once in your life.We have this discussion every fucking month
>>23752593
>>23752591saying Donbro is better than Kingoh is shitposting now?
>>23752599
>>23752595And I'm saying that most of the things people complain about don't make sense, like I've seen people blaming him for Gozyuger, Gotchard and Sentai ending and I don't see how that makes sense given everything we know, I've even seen people unironically say he hates Rider and whenever that gets point out how those complaints don't make sense the answer is usually "you're dumb for believing interviews and leaks, instead you should believe my headcanon" answer
>>23752589Zi-O was bad and Shirakura did a terrible job of justifying it being bad. That's it. Anyone who tells you otherwise is a newfag or just straight up trying to lie to you, people didn't give a shit about what he did with Hibiki, Decade, or Amazons with anywhere near the vitriol they have now but when Zi-O aired it just triggered some small number of actual lunatics. You can use the archives to see how Shirakura obsession kicked off around Zi-O's airing. He went from just under 1200 mentions across 10 years of 4chan from 2009 to December 3rd of 2018—or about 120 mentions per year—to just over 6300 mentions from December 3rd of 2018 to today, or approximately 870+ times per year. For reference, that's more than the amount of times Shirakura was mentioned from June 27th 2009 to June 1st 2018. Every year there is a comparable 9 years' worth of pre-schizophrenia /krg/+/ssg/ Shirakura discourse now. You literally cannot argue with the numbers, see my sources below:https://desuarchive.org/_/search/boards/m.desu.meta/text/shirakura%20desuarchive.org/https://desuarchive.org/_/search/boards/m.desu.meta/text/shirakura/start/2018-06-01/order/asc/https://desuarchive.org/_/search/boards/m.desu.meta/text/shirakura/end/2018-06-27/order/asc/

>>23752612Thank you very much you loveable anon
>>23752606> people didn't give a shit about what he did with Hibiki, Decade, or Amazons with anywhere near the vitriol they have now but when Zi-O aired it just triggered some small number of actual lunatics.>He went from just under 1200 mentions across 10 years of 4chan from 2009 to December 3rd of 2018—or about 120 mentions per year—to just over 6300 mentions from December 3rd of 2018 to todaybecause the majority of the western fandom came in during the second half of Heisei where he almost had 0 involvement in. pretending that it's just some schizo obsession' is being disingenuous, ignoring the context behind it and just you being a dumbass newfag.There's also him just being completely showing his ass by making an english twitter account and responding to the fandom.iirc People were asking him why Zi-O's writing was shit and he responded with something like "It's just a kids show, don't worry about it lol" which explains how Zi-O, Zenkaiger, Donbros and by extension Gozyuger ended up like that.He makes weird ass statements that would be based but changes his mind later on or is just proven wrong by recent events. He flip flops so much that you can't really take it seriously or at face value.>>23752605>>23752609>it's so weird for people to obsess It's not an obsession when he's been involved in the toei toku franchises since maybe Black RX. He's the face of multiple interviews about the future of both franchises, he has some hand in the production of these shows>like I've seen people blaming him for Gozyugerbecause Matsuura is his mentee so it has a lot his usual fingerprints, that are easy to spot. > I've even seen people unironically say he hates Rider those are schizos just ignore them
>>23752597retard
>>23752630>because the majority of the western fandom came in during the second half of Heisei where he almost had 0 involvement inExactly as I said: Newfags. The rest of your post is irrelevant, you confirmed my case immediately.
>>23752631You forgot to type your post out before you signed it.
>>23752630I swear most of the time someone uses this reaction image is to defend shitposting
>>23752636>Exactly as I said: Newfags.You didn't say that at all. You just said is was schizo lunatics and linked the archive.
>>23752644You swore wrong anon.https://desuarchive.org/m/search/image/t_OnmZeUfiuAOPjIk_zYPg/
I embarrassed myself by responding to bait someone please make a new thread.
>Being forced to work together is the scariest scenario in GavanSubtle
>>23752646nta but he did, 2019 onward was when /m/ started becoming unbearable due to newfags shitposting non-stop, and the point still stand that almost everything people blame Shirakura for isn't true and mostly consist of people having a constant hateboner for him using him as a strawman for everything
>>23752589Nepotism. He'll constantly suck off his own works [even in cases where he didn't do much and just took credit] and boost up his industry friends despite them being shit. Both Inoues are garbage but so long as they're his friends those hacks will keep getting work.
I guess Commander Qom also foresaw his own death as Gavan something, then secretly tried to change the future so that someone else would die instead of him, thus “changing his fate” huh..:
>>23752656>nta but he did,He literally didn't. If you're not that anon please don't respond. >/m/ started becoming unbearable due to newfagsThat's irrelevant. Like i said before just don't respond.
>>23752656>>23752636>>23752606>>23752609>>23752605>>23752589>>23752658so uhhh.... how's that gavan infinity? was the first episode any good
>>23752658>boost up his industry friendsBut every producer in Toei does that, Mochizuki hired Kinoshita immediately after Revice and Utsunomiya hired Komura 3 times, hell Kuji just hired Tomioka again. Like people in Toei actively avoid hiring people from the Toei school as head writers unlike Toei animation or taking the TV-Asahi writer requests which are the intended way of hiring writers, instead they just choose from their contact list or try their luck at hiring someone else. And most of the complaints I see about him isn't of nepotism but rather things he didn't do, I wouldn't mind people complaining about things he did like the shows mentioned here >>23752589 but most of the complaints I see about him lately are about shows that aren't his own or things about Toei as a while that are beyond his control.
>>23752589>Why do people hate him again?>I just don't really get where this hatred comes fromLiterally just read any of his interviews, it's almost like he's ragebaiting on purpose.>and why people act that he's the sole person responsible of Sentai dyingBecause he was literally in charge of a failed 5-year plan to revitalize the franchise. He oversaw every bad decision that just kept sinking it further and further.>and Gotchard's issuesBecause Gotchard's producer revealed he was more hands-on with his training than usual, proposed some of Gotchard's worst ideas and gave the producer advice that conflicted with Tsukada's.>even more so when those same people praise Donbrothers which was recentDonbrothers was good because Shirakura finally decided to have Inoue write a comedy work instead of the ridiculously bad edgelord bullshit they kept making for years.
>>23752492My beloved beautiful Erica.
>>23752671The episode thread is up already, you can discuss Gavan normally in here, the EP thread and /otg/ you don't need to ask in a retarded manner
Everyone's talking about Ohba but what about Ishigaki?
>>23752605>like I've seen people blaming him for Gozyuger, Gotchard and Sentai ending and I don't see how that makes sense given everything we knowAre you retarded or something? He was literally involved in all 3 of those things, you can keep crying all you want that he doesn't have the main responsibility for any of them (though he does with Sentai's end given his useless 5 year plan), he was still an undeniable constant that made all 3 of those things worse.
>>23752546It's really weird seeing them all dressed normally.
>>23752674>Because he was literally in charge of a failed 5-year plan to revitalize the franchiseExcept that the main reason why Sentai failed was Bandai's fault rather than the shows themselves>proposed some of Gotchard's worst ideasExcept that shows like Megaranger and Fourze proof that Highschool can work, and most of the issues with that setting were Minato's fault like him limiting Uchida's ideas for the settingAnd Shirakura and Tsukada giving setting ideas isn't normal and seemingly was done due to Minato's incompetence, for example Boonboomger was Kuji's first show and they didn't propose anything to him and in Matsuura's case who's even younger than Minato all Shirakura did was to tell him that the show should have powers based on past seasons and to use AUs instead of past actors, everything else Matsuura did on his ownThe way Toei has always worked is that executives only get involved in pre-production and then leave the staff to their own devices, and this involvement can just be saying "OK" at times without proposing anythingNothing has really changed with the way Toei does things and I can't help but feel that people act this way because they're newfags that don't get how things worked before
>>23752680I assume he'll come back for something special like the summer movie, iirc didn't he implicitly say he isn't going to show up in Gavan Infinity
>>23752605He's the head of toku productions within Toei. He's absolutely responsible for cancelling Sentai for Gavan, the state of Rider productions whereby letting inexperienced hacks like MinatoP fuck up shows and giving Gozyuger to an inexperienced producer like Matsuura who unsurprisingly fucked it up with his HR choices. The buck stops at Shirakura. So he absolutely shoulders the blames for these things. If he doesn't want to get blamed, maybe he shouldn't have stepped up in the first place.
>>23752646>You didn't say that at all.>>23752606>Anyone who tells you otherwise is a newfag or just straight up trying to lie to you
>>23752683yeah I could never get used to it
>>23752688Fair, I do think he shares the blame due to being the head and the way he picks producers without telling them way in advance which might have been one of the reasons that Gotchard got screwedI just think using him as a strawman for every little thing retarded
>>23752684>Except that the main reason why Sentai failed was Bandai's fault rather than the shows themselvesThen maybe he should have told Bandai to make better toys? He's the head honcho in charge of SS/KR at Toei and created a bunch of successful heisei Rider shows. His word is going to count more than Tsukada, Utsnomiya, Omori, etc saying it.Instead all we hear from him is failed 5-year plans and attempts to imitate the MCU with PRED and blaming past shows/streaming for the failure of Super Sentai. He's a fucking weasel.>and most of the issues with that setting were Minato's fault like him limiting Uchida's ideas for the settingThey should either have micromanaged Minato more (which they didnt) or they should have never promoted him to producer (again which they didn't). There's a lot of things he could have done and he didn't do them.
It's insane what one haircut can do
>>23752671No, it's trash.
>>23752697>They should either have micromanaged Minato moreThey don't because Toei has never really done that, look at Hibiki for example where they'd rather just fire the producer than micromanage, or shows like Dekaranger, ToQger and Zyuohger where executives picked the motif for the producers where they didn't do more than that, basically just asking the staff to "figure it out themselves"That's basically been the way of doing things since the late 90s because they want the staffs to have creative freedom for the most part, basically the reason why they even decided to pick Gotchard's setting was because of Minato's incompetence but at that point why even pick him as a producer? Like was it really because it was awkward telling him not to do the shiw after they just removed him from King-Ohger? Otherwise fair complaints
>>23752684>I can't help but feel that people act this way because they're newfags that don't get how things worked beforeIt's not a newfag thing, retard, interview translations just didn't get posted nearly as often back then as they do now. It's because we get interviews every single week that we now know each and every mistake and bullshit claim that Toei's staff makes in regards to their shows.I fucking bet you wouldn't have said any of the shit you're saying about "having always known how Toei works" if it weren't for interviews that came out less than 10 years ago, so don't come here whining about newfags like a fucking hypocrite.
>>23752684>Except that the main reason why Sentai failed was Bandai's fault rather than the shows themselvesSee >>23752682, I was expecting you to say this exact same shit and I will reiterate that it doesn't mean he doesn't have any fault in what happened whatsoever.>Except that shows like Megaranger and Fourze proof that Highschool can workIt's not a good setting for beginners, and it's what led to having such green actors as leads. It was shit in Zi-O as well, which is probably the reason why Shirakura proposed it in the first place.>And Shirakura and Tsukada giving setting ideas isn't normal and seemingly was done due to Minato's incompetenceShirakura could've made the wise decision to back off and at least let Tsukada handle him if that was the case (which is just your headcanon), but he decided to keep giving out his shitty advice that only made the show worse and also clashed with Tsukada's.> in Matsuura's case who's even younger than Minato all Shirakura did was to tell him that the show should have powers based on past seasons and to use AUs instead of past actors, everything else Matsuura did on his ownHe also made the genius decision to not to tell him he was making the last fucking Sentai show until the production was halfway done.>The way Toei has always worked is that executives only get involved in pre-production and then leave the staff to their own devices, and this involvement can just be saying "OK" at times without proposing anythingWhich means Shirakura was greenlighting every major shitty decision done with Sentai, correct.>Nothing has really changed with the way Toei does thingsI don't know if you're aware of this, but Shirakura is one of those Toei execs you're complaining so much about. He's also the most vocal of the by far, so no fucking wonder he gets shat on the most.
>>23752690> >Anyone who tells you otherwise is a newfagThats an entirely different point from what he quoted in this post >>23752636. He’s saying in >>23752606 that only lunatics hate Shirakura and now he’s moving the goalpost by saying it’s newfags.Please pay attention to the posts that you’re trying to defending and stop wasting my time you fucking idiot.
>>23752718>Please exclusively follow my pilpul so I can justify my manic obsession with an old Japanese manNo thank you, schizonewfag!

The reason why it ended up this way was because the Minato didn't come up with a setting himself which is not normal>Shirakura could've made the wise decision to back off and at least let Tsukada handle him if that was the case Fair but again Gotchard was the only time a Toei executive needed to intercept this way and the most of Gotchard issues later are Minato's fault like how he was constantly limiting the staff's ideas and not giving them any form form of direction as to how to handle Rinne>I don't know if you're aware of this, but Shirakura is one of those Toei execs you're complaining so much aboutExcept it wasn't a complain it was an explanation as to why it was done this way, this tactic used to work before just fine and being the one in most interviews doesn't suddenly excuse obsessing about him and blaming him everything>He also made the genius decision to not to tell him he was making the last fucking Sentai show until the production was halfway done.It was so that he wouldn't have as much pressure but to be fair to you he should have transferred someone experienced from another division rather than leaving it to a newbie, I get that it's the same methodology that Hikasa proposed of "leaving it to the young" but it's such a retarded tactic to do for the last season and I'm saying that as someone who thinks Matsuura is a good producer>>23752720But I did here >>23752705 and on other posts
>>23752714>I fucking bet you wouldn't have said any of the shit you're saying about "having always known how Toei works" if it weren't for interviews that came out less than 10 years ago, so don't come here whining about newfags like a fucking hypocrite.Anon whenever people used to posts interviews aside from the Amazons ragebait people didn't use it as an excuse to shitpost, more interviews getting translated doesn't suddenly make it OK to shitpost as much as possible to ruin these threads
>>23752718>>23752719Don't samefag because an anon called you out
>>23752737>>23752735Please stop replying to shitposters>>23752684>>23752729Please stop being schizophrenic and read those posts properly and slower
>>23752457I figured that was the case for this shows auditions
>>23752737Don't start calling yourself a samefag when you get owned, lmao. Very cowardly behavior.
Think Gavan green will be his won thing or based on another Metal Hero like G Raiya, if the latter then which?
How could Toei save themselves?
>>23752735Every complaint you don't like is a shitpost to you.
>>23752729>The reason why it ended up this way was because the Minato didn't come up with a setting himself which is not normal>Fair but again Gotchard was the only time a Toei executive needed to intercept this way Reminder that Minato didn't want to be a head producer in the first place, he wanted to stay as an AP but Shirakura and Tsukada came and picked him to produce the next Rider show.
>>23752747Most likely his own thing if he's indeed the Q2 hero and not just another unrelated Gavan, but if the latter I'm hoping for a Winspector/Gavan fusion>>23752760The Japanese government needs to make it easier to bypass the modified vehicle laws so that toku can get more vehicular combat, also make laws that make it easier to film but the latter is definitely not going to happen anytime soonThe yen getting more value so that more studios can make toku again to create competition and Toei can make more than two shows like in the old daysBandai needs to change executives but keep PLEX the same, problem is that I cannot think of an executive that would want to make cheaper poseable mecha the normBite the bullet and transfer Utsunomiya back to train the new generation since they don't really have one but sadly they won't do that because between all the shifts they now have way too many new producers, the oldest producer Takebe is getting pensionated in 5 years so she'll probably leave without training anybody but she's inconsistent so maybe that isn't a bad thing, Shirakura should also be getting pensionated in. 3 years, I like him as a producer but I trust Tsukada soloing the executive part far more, but I worry as to who could suceeed Tsukada since Omori isn't here anymoreSadly a big factor of the Toei being good future depends on Minato, Matsuura, Kuji and Yanaka learning from the mistakes of their first seasons and hoping that the other 4 new producers are good, at least Takijima went through the usual cycle of producer apprentice work and rather than being promoted quickly like Minato and Matsuura so I want to trust her but i just don't know if it'll work due to Mochizuki and kinda TakahashiAlso I wish these newbies producers weren't so smug where they try to hire new writers for theor first show due to wanting to be original when Shirakura, Tsukada, Takebe and Omori didn't, only Yanaka did this but Takahashi has been hired way too often lately
It was much better than modern Sentai, Metal Hero is fucking back.I like how we got a waifu robot like Juspion too.
What is the "Sun God" that he screamed out when finishing the kaijin there?
>>23752872We don't know yet, it was mentioned in his character bio too but it doesn't elaborate on what it is or if there's a religion
