>>23844627Reposting Project R.E.D radio show with staff and cast: https://x.com/ProjectRED_Toei/status/2050153336138318280?s=20
Why haven't the behind the scenes talks been uploaded to nyaa? Wanted to see what they said about the prototype designsThe only info that I could find of these wa that apparently Ryohei Takahashi isn't really a toku fan but a gangster drama fan, he actually applied to work on the drama division but landed on tokusatsu division instead and that he apparently helped with the casting of King-Ohger and Gavv
Only the second half to go after this week's episode.
>>23844666And it truly feels like nothing has happened outside of Death Gavan aurafarming
>>23844672What do you mean we've gotten the backstories of Reiji and Kiki, they introduced the thief, there's the two-parter for Raiya and the mystery of the the emorgear of the mentor returning. If anything I wish the show had more filler because the ant episode is still my favorite episode but obviously they can't due to the episode count.
https://twitter.com/tokusatsu_ex/status/2050409945443811556Episode preview images.
>>23844776Welcome to the scooby gang, Raiya
>>23844776Is Luminous even part of the gang at this point
>>23844789She might...you know. So they just keep her off to the side.
>>23844789He has yet to properly introduce himself to Kiki and Koko. I'm pretty sure that will be in next week's episode so all main Gavans are acquainted with Raiya.
>>23844678Ant was based.
>>23844869Gavan Armaise is still the best thing to come out of the show
>>23844869P-bandai figure when?
>>23844874Probably during Omegahorn's run.
Since there's no other toku thread, I'll just ask here. Was that 2024 Wingman mini series translated? I could have sworn I saw English subbed clips floating around.
>>23844923https://tl-skeweds.blogspot.com/search/label/Wingman%20JDrama%20%282024%29I will spoonfeed you this one time.
>>23844926It is appreciated, good sir.
>>23844789>>23844802Yeah, it's just the standard flow of these episodes, but now with Raiya hanging out as a recurring character too, while Bushio and Luminous are still on rotation for now.
>>23844923There is though: >>23789512
>>23844652An excerpt from an interview with the production team of Super Space Sheriff Gavan Infinity, on the topic of "Why are there so few monsters in this series?" compared to Super Sentai>The team clearly confirmed that the low number of monsters isn't due to budget issues in production. Normally, in Super Sentai series, monsters change every episode—with new designs, voices, and personalities—which is its own kind of fun charm.>But for this series, the focus is on "investigation and capturing criminals" so the team wanted to dive deeper into the identities and standout traits of the villains on that side to make them more distinct.>The team intentionally avoided doing the same old things to prevent overlapping with or overshadowing the original charm of the existing Super Sentai series.>No matter how much the team themselves loves Sentai-style monsters, they chose to present them from a different angle to give the work more diverse dimensions.I know what a lot of people are gonna say "Bro said they'd focus on investigation, but the investigation parts in the series are super thin lol"
>>23844977After reading this I don't want Kuji to ever make a Project R.E.D show ever again he should try making Kamen Rider insteadThey really should have forced a promoted producer to make the first Project R.E.D show
>>23844977That's certainly an excuse.
>>23844977>focus is on "investigation and capturing criminals"MF you worked on Odd Detective and Heyachou you know what an actual investigation looks like Gavan simply doesn't do thatSurely Shirakura, Maruyama or both are holding him at gunpoint because otherwise I've lost all of the good faith I had on him when excusing Boonboomger and Infinity
Should Yoshito Kuji get demoted while Ryohei Takahashi and Takuto Watanabe get transferred?I feel that unlike the past few times they actually have enough people to replace them
>>23844987They won't because the staff has been budget friendly and Shirakura has talked as if he would tank his failures. Which in the long run might be a good thing since Shirakura could return to being a normal head producer for a short while which he is far better at, the issue is the overseeing part since Shirakura would probably be replaced with Kazuhiro Takahashi but even that might be a good thing since it could give Tsukada more leeway.
>>23844977It still feels less budget than a 90s sentai show, what the fuck happened?
https://twitter.com/HKR20_official/status/2050485945749979414
>>23845012>90s sentai showThose are incredibly high budget though, specially Zyuranger, Ohranger and GoGoFiveDid you mean to type 20s?
Bandai’s thinly veiled agenda that R.E.D. isn’t a Sentai rebrand aside, the new Red leans a lot more toward Ranger than anything else Toei has done. Think of your standard Pokemon Trainer design, make it a Ranger with a backwards hat. That’s him
>>23845066Go back to Rangerboard faggot, you are not welcome here.
>>23845076You and I both know it's not actually him, and that it's an anon reposting Rangerboard posts for (You)s and to out Rangerboard users. And you fell for it hook, line, and sinker.
>>23844776I keep seeing Ishiro, Taiya and Genba from these three.
>>23845186>GenbaI don't really see it since he isn't as suave but yes for the other two
>>23844987Boring empty question.
>>23845196https://desuarchive.org/m/search/text/Boring%20empty%20question/https://desuarchive.org/m/search/text/Boring%20question/https://desuarchive.org/m/search/text/Empty%20post%20next/
>>23845076I thought he stopped posting after the whole "white witch" rumor
>>23844661>Why haven't the behind the scenes talks been uploaded to nyaa?I don't know how to upload file using torrent
>>23845189Maybe because the oranges on his outfit and hair made me think that but yeah the personality don't match
>>23845012You have not actually watched 90s Sentai
>>23844977>But for this series, the focus is on "investigation and capturing criminals" so the team wanted to dive deeper into the identities and standout traits of the villains on that side to make them more distinctThey haven't though. Like we have the Rescue Police series already showing that you can have Metal Heroes without dedicated monsters of the week but you have the give the villain plots some CHEW and stakes, god damn it.
>>23845462Thus>Bro said they'd focus on investigation, but the investigation parts in the series are super thin lolIt's really insane, Dekaranger exist, Metal Hero exist, after getting transferred out of toku due to Ninninger he worked on two cop dramas and the writer wrote BEM which had detective investigationsThere's really no excuse for the show not having investigations and I don't get why they pretend the show has them, even weirder because the writer said he wanted the show to feel like old cop dramas yet the show doesn't feel like that at all
>>23844977But there's no investigation, it's quite normal. The Super Sentai police series have more investigation, the current Precure series has much more real investigation in each episode than Gavan.
>>23845481Yeah his statement is nonsensical, I would have almost thought he's being held at gunpoint to not talk about budget if Gavv and Gozyuger hadn't talked about budget limitations before proving Kuji doesn't have to lieThis is really bs by the staff
Toku chris chan everyone, there were many ways to not end up like this, take heed of this shit.
I think the multiverse angle of Infinity is incredibly superfluous, they could have just made it so that each Gavan is from a different jurisdiction or city or something and it wouldn't have made a difference.
>>23845502But there there wouldn't have been a super intelligent ants living alongside people universe and we wouldn't have gotten one of the best episodes.
>>23845506>Oh hey we have a visiting Gavan from another planet, here's Gavant from Ant-Human Coexist WorldThat was terribly difficult
>>23845506Amaize's episode shows the full potential of the series but the fact they haven't locked in like that again is saddening. Like we had the set-up for Space Sheriff Doctor Who and just left that on the counter.
>>23845502I think the multiverse is there mainly to set up Gavan Infinity appearing in the next show, without it feeling like bullshit.Also, if it weren't for the multiverse angle, Bushido and Luminous just staying behind would feel very forced.
>>23845526This. The show needs more weird Gavans to really flesh out the multiverse nature of the setting.
>>23845502Thats just kingohger with cops
>>23845526They most likely weren’t expecting Armaise to be popular at all.
>>23845531Im guessing before the show is over there will be a gavan that is just an AI who controls the GCR as its gavan form.Easy since all the assets are already there.
>>23845529>Bushido and Luminous just staying behind would feel very forced.Then don't have them stay behind.
>>23845490>Toku christhis account already exist
gavan taimu
Is that Rita dancing/singing in an office ad?
>Yuzuki-chan singing and dancing in the adCute!!
He do be cutting onions
How fizzy does she like her soda god damn. Gut of steel.
Damn, this guy's scheme is good.
>>23845602YesNice dance moves to be honest
What's he wanna do with that liquid sadness
>>23845490>LivingRangerKeyI'm jamming this fucker's microdick right into my mobirates and twisting it with the strength of 100 Zyuoh Gorillas.
I guess his wife needs to drink constant human tears to heal a space disease
>literal LASER BLADEOkay, that was cool.
A literal rain of tears
How have they not made merch of the chibi AGI-chans yetAlso cute Dolnero having a shlurp
>GIANT mode G RaiyaThere's at least a kaiju fight now, kinda.
Looks like a Raiya/Luminous episode next week
>>23845506Star Trek frequently found new excuses for alternate universes and time travel, so far Infinity would only need to have done that once.
>No FadeEpisode saved!!
How was the 12th episode?
>>23845666Just kinda OK, which is disappointing after getting 5 really great episodes in a rowAlso Raiya just felt kinda there aside from the comedy scenes
>>23845666The plot of the episode really reminded me of the kind of thing you'd see in something like Winspecter
Just realized that Gavan Infinity's summer movie is releasing after the final episode and just 2 days before the Omegahorn's premierehttps://zeztz-gavan-26movie.com/
>>23845680Omegahorn coming early
>>23845666fine episodecute yuzuki adenjoyed my time
What are your evaluations on Gavan Infinity's first half now?
>>23845678wait so there's a gap between Infinity finale and Omegahorn premiere?
https://twitter.com/W_HeroSummer/status/2050727038953357530
https://x.com/ProjectRED_Toei/status/2050742137701204084Did they just don't bother to put any captions for next week's episode?
>>23845693>Super Sentai title in gray
>>23845686I know it's an unfair comparison but compared to the Q1s of every Reiwa Sentai, Gavan's first half is weaker than all of them, but at least I feel that they have enough setup for this show to be better than Boonboomger by the endI really like the 3 Gavans, Raiya is pretty good tooI found AGI and the guy in the chair to be pretty weak characters for the most part but they're growing on me, I find the phantom thief to be pretty boring, the rest of the side cast I likeThe action is amazing but the direction feels kinda bland, it's improving as the show goes on but not by muchMy biggest issue with the show are the criminals, them being structured like normal villains instead of criminal cases like Dekaranger just make them feel very forgettable and too safe for the interdimensional cop premiseSo overall it's a good show that I'm mostly having fun with but it still isn't interesting enough for me to consider it great, with the way the show's been improving as of late and basically being forced to be serialized after either episode 13 or 16 due to the episode count I feel like the show will most likely turn out great by the end but it definitely isn't a must watch toku nor does it feel like a proper start to a new franchise
>>23845691No there isn't a break, it's>July 19: Gavan Infinity Finale>July 24: Gavan Infinity Summer Movie>July 26: Omegahorn's first episode
>>23845695It's not wrong per se but the Sentai Series title does appear in other color besides gray/silver like being gold/yellow in Gaoranger VS and Boukenger VS while Sempaiger is in red.
>>23845708ah okay, I misread it, forgot that the movie usually premieres on Friday JST
https://x.com/i/status/2050561339253522652Kabutack out of nowhere! Yup, they are somehow adding it on Girls' Frontline 2, much less the fact that it's GFL2's FIRST collab! Other good franchises with more women collabed with the first game before, but this is a shock. Though I only want to expect skins or silly Kabutack-themed accessories, though. Not like they could bring in Tentoleena in there, either.
The visual.
>>23845708So they might actually pull a Decade where they have the finale be a movie?
>>23845694>Not foundMaybe they just forgot to check the Ctrl V...
>>23845686I look forward to every main character's episodes because I like them all and I'm kind of digging the format where one of the mains is the focus of the entire episode, so like they get more focus and get to do more cool stuff it seems like than if they were all together all the time.
Behind the scenes of Polar Beginning are now on TTFC https://x.com/tokusatsu_fc/status/2050742138938487123?s=20
>>23845719They won't pull that because they had issues with Decade due to that, and had to make sure the movie didn't feel like it connected to the tv show cliffhanger due to that.They can make a post-series, but it'd be more like Ex-Aid True End or Zero-One Real x Time, where the movie has its own plot even if it takes place after the show.
>>23845722Also region locked on youtube behind the scenes of the show's CGI and making of Gavan Ameise
Gavan Infinity is boring.
>>23844977Originally I was fine with the same staff doing Omegahorn but this singlehandedly has made me scared that it'll be them, I hope the duo does a Rider next instead and that it's Matsuura that does OmegahornAt least I doubt he'll get Akiko for Omegahorn given what we know of it so far, also there's that rumor that Takebe picked Akiko for My-Th although I doubt that's true
>>23844780>Raya is a wall lover4chan tile lover relative?
New reaction image.
>>23845779Sakura Shinguji?
>>23845666I expected more but it was pretty nice.>>23845686There are moments where it's really strong or promising, but then it backs out to do something else and wastes the momentum. Like everyone has already said, when it's being like a proper cop show it really shines, but when it's not, it's just ok. I like it less than I did Boonboomger's 12 episodes, I feel he did a better job there.
>>23845693I wish they'd use anyone other than gozyuwolf
>>23845718finallykamen rider kabuto
>>23845810sorry anon he's basically "Black RX in the 90s" now
>>23845810won't this have Gozyugers as the protagonists?>>23845815the same happened with Super-1 and Stronger?
>>23845822>the same happened with Super-1 and Stronger?I forgot if Super-1 ever became like this but the Stronger to Skyrider gap aren't that long.
>>23845686It's the bad bland where there is nothing interesting or engaging with it.
did they ever have a concrete news on why Yellow Four's actress vanished
>>23845859Family wasnt happy with her acting career iirc
>>23845862
>>23845876Oops didn't mean to quote anyone
>>23845726Docu-sho Episode 9 "From Fantasy to Reality"https://gofile.io/d/RI2atK
>>23845883Thank you very much anon
>>23845862so she and her family vanished?
>>23845890Someone from the cast said he family moved her.

>>23845999Sankyuu
>>23845999I dropped Gavan after 4 episodes, is it good yet?
>>23846051See the replies to >>23845686
>A team is needed...>Like some sort of Sentai...
>>23846099Hmm... a novel concept...
>>23846099>>23846100>But they would need to be very skilled, very strong, you might say they need to be...>Super.
>>23846135By god, this is a million dollar idea...!
>>23846099>>23846135>You want to form some sort of super squadron? That would never work.
>>23846051No
Is Kuji the biggest problem of Gavan Infinity?
>>23846242His pussyfooting writing is definitely something up with it, but the producer is also at fault for making it so cheap overall. I'm just hoping it's so Omegahorn can have a lot of money spent on it for cool kaiju stuff.
>>23846246Kuji is the producer, you got confused with Tomioka (the writer)
>>23846313you assume anyone here knows anything about production roles and what they actually do
>>23846313Yeah whoops sorry, but yeah I stand by Kuji being a not great producer trying to run a cheap ship at all costs (and that Tomioka pussyfoots too much), like I said hopefully so Omegahorn has a higher budget.
So was ending sentai a mistake? Are the toys selling less?
>>23846338>So was ending sentai a mistake?No. Toy sales was getting lower and lower every year.> Are the toys selling less?Yes because just like Gozyuger, Gavan Infinity Toys are garbage and unappealing
Bandai is a jerk. Toei should work with someone else who will make good toys.
