>>23872304YOU SUCK
>>23872283I love this artist's art, she hasn't done any for Gavan right?
Obviously the following doesn't matter much since Toei tokusatsu are so variate that this just usually just amounts to being the consistent in the top 10 listsBut are the following the considered "peaks" of Kamen Rider, Super Sentai, Metal Heroes, Fushigi Comedy, kinda "standalone" Toei toku and standalone Toei toku that are done as co-productions?
>>23872342Not that I've seen. I haven't been looking terribly hard for Infinity art lol
I need Maya and Kohaku making out. I need Kohaku being lewd
The modern Tokusatsu protagonist with no upgrade forms.
>>23872345why doesn't toei bring back the staff of these?
>>23872419He’ll probably get one during Omegahorn’s run.
>>23872345I'd say that Janperson is MH's peak. Fantastic series.
>>23872345Gokaiger won the NHK poll, is tied for the highest rated season on Filmarks (while Timeranger is tied for 10th), is the highest rated season on MyDramaList, is second to King-Ohger on IMDB, and on a poll here during the start of King-Ohger was the second most watched season behind the recently ended Donbrothers. Gokaiger is so popular people here would routinely get mad at it being popular.
Thoughts on this suit?
>>23872540What I've learned is that if something is truly popular and liked that petty hatedoms just bloom into existence to "urmm ackthually" you about how good it isn't actually or that it's just bad.
>>23872546I do like the chunky steampunk aesthetic. Feels like a prototype Gavan suit.
So with Gavan Infinity failing, what went wrong?
>>23872550Your high expectations for the beginning of an experimental phase
>>23872540Okay, and?
>>23872540>s the highest rated season on MyDramaList, is second to King-Ohger on IMDB,This irrelevant, you made your point with the restTimeranger also didn't earn any awards
>>23872556There is literally no metric where Timeranger is more commonly praised than Gokaiger. Not even here.
>>23872540IMDb also claim Zeztz is the one of the best series, and anyone who actually seen the show knows that bullshit
>>23872555You want to lead with your best foot forward. If you can't do that then people won't have faith in you.
>>23872566>>23872563I listed multiple sites for a reason, it's at minimum the second highest everywhere.
>>23872546Probably the most obviously foam hero suit since Kamen Rider Abyss. Hope it's not the only new suit or a sign of what we're getting with Omegahorn.
>>23872570they weren't going to blow their load early. Shirakura himself mentioned that the second and third shows would show the true strength of Project RED. This was meant to be a transitional show.
>>23872540199 Heroes and Gokaiger vs Gavan also are the Sentai movies (without Rider) with the biggest box office. Go-Busters vs Gokaiger is the 4th highest, with only Shinkenger vs Go-Onger making it to 3rd and breaking up the Gokaiger domination of those rankings.
>>23872577Then they should have just started with Omegahorn. The "transitional show" only makes the project look bad.
>>23872577>>23872582I think what Shirakura said about the later shows revealing Project RED's true strength is more regarding how Project RED's unique feature is that the shows are all meant to be unique but also connected, but we'll only see that when we have more than one show to see how that works.
>>23872582From what is known of Omegahorn, it's going to be VERY, VERY different from Gozyuger. Too jarring of a change, at least in Toei's mind.
>>23872586>Too jarring of a changeVery doubtful.
>>23872564Wasn't there a poll here where Timeranger was the only show that was on everyone's top lists? That's why I included it here >>23872345But regardless Gokaiger is the true top show, I just wanted to know what's considered the peak of each category to try to get an idea of what Toei might try with Project R.E.D in the future
>>23872589Going from the usual team of 5 +1 to a single hero + Infinity + Kaiju focus is a huge change by itself. Last time Toei did something with Kaiju was what...Gingaman?
>>23872604>huge changeIt really isn't
>>23872610Do you even know what's known about Omegahorn to speak with so much confidence?
>>23872345Winspector and Solbrain are usually duo'd together as the best things to come out of Metal Heroes a lot of the time, yes.
>>23872611Yes, my uncle works at Toei.
>>23872425>KuugaProducer got fired due to having conflicts with either Toei or Bandai in every project he headed besides Kuuga with his last offense being going severely overbudget for an underperforming show, he then made a toku on another studio but he also went overbudget there to the point that the studio killed its tokusatsu division immediately afterThe writer gets constantly hired by Toei and is currently considered to be the second best Toei writer of all time making continuously great works but it's weird he has never returned to RiderThe director hasn't served as head director for a mainline show since 2006 but he still continously works with Toei as an episode and movie director and is considered one of the 3 best directors at Toei at the moment>TimerangerProducer got promoted into an executive, then became president of the toku division, then stepped down and is currently serving as an advisor at Toei at the momwntThe writer is currently soft retired, she's considered to be the best Toei toku writer but as of 2014 she no longer works for year long original shows so she currently can only come back for shorter shows like she did for AmazonsThe director has only returned to serve as head director for Toei once in 2015, while he's a good director he's generally considered to be the worst director currently at Toei due to how much everyone else has outclassed him(1/?)
>>23872425>>23872668>WinspectorThe producer passed awayThe writer founded his own writing company with great success at working for video games, novels and shows which caused him to be really occupied to write toku, he served there from 1997 to 2004, the year after that he passed away then the company dissolved with his death The director is currently retired due to old age>PoitrineSame producer as TimerangerI don't get why the writer doesn't get brought back, after Fushigi Comedy died he has only been hired to head a show once, despite Toei repeatedly praising him as writer and he seemingly having free time Toei hasn't hired him to head since 1996The director is currently retired due to old age>Sukeban DekaThe producer got promoted and is currently retired as an advisor in ToeiSame writer as WinspectorThe director passed away(2/3)
>>23872669>Sailor MoonThe producer got promoted directly from producer to president, he then stepped down and currently serves as an executive that picks the producers that make these toku, oversees the pre-production of every toku and makes side toku projects such as spin-off shows, reboots and movies, due to a producer scarcity in 2018 he was forced to head a toku, due to the same scarcity and the risk of Sentai dying he temporarily returned to head toku but he has since returned to the previously described executive position, in rankings he's usually considered to be within the range of 4th~8th best producer of Toei, he's highly praised for making many beloved shows and saving the toku division from dying but is criticized due to the way he's treated some writers during his time as a producer and how he doesn't care about concise storytelling Same writer as TimerangerThe director is the most hired to serve as head director in Toei history and continues to work with them consistently, considered to be a really great director praised for his versatility but has had mild controversies due him removing critical plot points from the scripts when directing from multiple of his shows(3/3)
>>23872668>and is currently considered to be the second best Toei writer of all timeNo, that's Yuya Takahashi.>she's considered to be the best Toei toku writerNo, that's Toshiki Inoue.
>>23872678They're considered the best at scheduling but not the best at writing, Kobayashi and Arakawa are generally considered to be the best at writing stories and characters of Toei toku to fans both from Japan and here
>>23872681Would you consider Inoue a close third, at least? Or are his particular habits a bit too hit-or-miss for most?
>>23872345Your bias is showing.Kuuga is only famous for a few things:>"started" the Odagiri effect (actually in place long before)>The first Heisei Rider>The only Heisei Rider to date that is totally soloWinspector is far less iconic than classic Gavan.>No B-Fighter>No Cutie Honey>No GOJIRAYou're entitled to your opinions but quit trying to establish your taste as "/m/'s peak toku choices" or something.
>>23872695I don't know who would be considered a close third? If you asked in the 2000s I'm sure most people would have said Inoue or Sugimura maybe Yokote and Aikawa too, but if you ask now maybe people would say Takano, Urobuchi or Mutou?, but I don't know how to count those 3 since they both have considerably less creditsAt least for me personally I wouldn't pick Inoue because he tends to only work properly when you limit him but not that much so that he can be creative, I guess I'd pick Fourze's writer Nakashima since even his worst works Batman Ninja, Promare and BNA are at least entertaining but similarly to the modern picks he doesn't have that many credits as head
>>23872721What did you expect from the collageautist?
>>23872721Out of all of these, you beef with Kuuga? The only shounen-demo show on that collage to get a fucking Seiun?
>>23872721Absolute shit tier bait regarding Kuuga.
>>23872721Godzilla is TOHO and I'm just asking a question, I explained my reasoning reasoning here >>23872603I just picked what I usually saw most recurrent in top picks in /m/ for the first 3 then for the other 3 I just tried browsing old 00s nip comments but I'm not sure whether those forums are popular or not to serve as a proper metricIf it's by personal taste then my picks would be Ryuki, Timeranger, Jan person, haven't watched any Fushigi Comedy show due to them being untranslated, I don't think I've seen any standalone Toei toku yet that isn't a co-production or a movie and Sh15ya
>>23872744It was a shitty question.
>>23872748>discussing things is bad>>23872555We don't know yet but my guess is a mix of this show potentially being transitional like Decade and the producer maybe screwing up the cotw by forcing things to be too safe?I just don't get why they wouldn't make a cop toku feel like an actual cop toku and it certainly doesn't help that Infinity's producer comes off as a liar in interviews
>>23872753It's not real discussion. It's just you making a chart like the plebbian you are.
>>23872434so basically this
>>23872695>>23872678>saying that Inoue is the best Toei Toku writeris this bait?
>>23872766Hey, I nominated him for third best thank you very much. I rather enjoy his writing style, habits and all, but even I am not delusional enough to think that he's better than people like Arakawa or Kobayashi
>>23872761Yeah. He'll probably get something related to Omegahorn and Kaiju so he doesn't stick out like a sore thumb.
Post your impressions on the Express Gavanrion.
>>23872784Really like the design but as always I don't like the poseability and so far the sounds on the Trigger have just been ok so I don't have much expectations
>>23872784Trains are super-interesting.
>>23872784Bad time to release a train robo
>>23872797Is there really that much overlap? With this being korean and all?
>>23872802Yes. Korea and China are Sentai/RED's -actual- overseas markets. Even Japanese youtubers have been comparing Korean robots to Sentai robos and going OWARI DA
>>23872413>implying they aren't already
Since Fushigi Comedy is included in this thread, just knew that they got a logo on TTFC that don't even exist back then.
>>23872681Are you anons Team Kobayashi or Team Arakawa?
>>23872816That logo is SOVLI'd love for these to get official subs or something
So I guess the 3rd Project RED show will be the magic academy?
>>23872829>magic academythat was a fake rumor.
>>23872434I imagine they're using Tamotsu Shinohara's design for 1992 movie "Great Prophecy: The Revival of the Giant God" that was originally meant to include Gavan for the 10th anniversary of the show.This feels fitting for kaiju hunter theme.https://x.com/tam2shino/status/1996432782642540625
>>23872576Wasn't Abyss because it was technically using monster suit budget?
https://x.com/enettan_/status/2055593308995637587Do they still do "cameo of the currently airing Sentai" like this in the recent FLT up to Boonboomger? I assume they didn't do it for Gozyuger because Gavan Infinity is not a Sentai.
Toei Fiscal Year Ending March 2026 Consolidated Financial Results Presentation summaryhttps://www.toei.co.jp/en/ir/library/presentations/__icsFiles/afieldfile/2026/05/15/0515en_1.pdf>1. Toei reported a significant increase in operating profit. In short, this was due to contributing factors such as profits from investments in joint ventures and real estate sales, which boosted net profit figures. The recovery of the cinema business and entertainment-related businesses (such as the T-Joy cinema chain) also showed positive trends. Although some of their self-managed cinemas were closed, the management of their cinema complexes continued to generate stable cash flow.>2. The One Piece, Pretty Cure, and Tokusatsu series (Kamen Rider / Super Sentai / PROJECT R.E.D.) remain the core revenue generators from licensing sales and various events.>3. They are focusing more on exporting content to international markets. Especially through global streaming platforms like Netflix/YouTube, or selling LC/IP for screening in various regions.P.S. Toei have a real estate business and utilize land assets to generate stable income and help reduce the risk from the volatility of income from the entertainment business, which depends on the success of each film.In short, they're not too worried about film failures because they have supplementary businesses to support them; they don't just rely on films or media.P.S. 2. Anyone watching the live broadcast of SHT in the morning will see ads selling houses... and it's part of their network.
>>23872921>4. However, a potential long-term "downside" is the decline in revenue in some areas, such as Toei Kyoto Studio Park, which is undergoing renovations, and the reliance on periodic "mega hits," which may lead to revenue uncertainty in some quarters. Also, the closure of the Super Sentai franchise may result in the loss of some loyal customers.>5. Expanding into other business sectors, such as partnering with Thailand's M Studio / co-investing with BANDAI to produce an anime version of Zyuohger in South Korea. (Zyuohger was very popular there)
>>23872343Yuzucute!
>>23872922>Expanding into other business sectors, such as partnering with Thailand's M Studio / co-investing with BANDAI to produce an anime version of Zyuohger in South Korea. (Zyuohger was very popular there)Wait, is this confirmed to happen?
>>23872925Read the right side of the slide
>>23872824A couple Fushigi Comedy seasons like Batten Robomaru were translated for Toei Tokusatsu World, plus some others were subbed by Bereke IIRC.
>>23872921Ai Koumuten is a Toei owned business? Interesting.
>>23872784ii ja sugee ja

>>23873048I almost couldn't recognize Yamato
Was trying to illustrate for my friend how the Omegahorn Megaphone could become a jet.Do you think it's close or too simplistic a transformation?
>>23873331Cool illustration but it might be a bit too simple since the vehicle mode light try to hide the battery slot
>Universe No.1 is voiced by Tetsu Inada>Said VA also voiced Harry "UNIVERSE!" Ord
>>23873427Harry Ord is who you go with referencing, and not Doggie? Or Trombeman?
>>23873441Nta, but i mean... UNIVEEEEEEERSE!?
>>23873454K-Suke even referenced that line in his Twitter post
>>23873454I don't care about gundamshit, so the reference to that role doesn't mean much to me
>>23873655Having a shared powerup form that's primarily blue and gold when a member of your team is the same shades of blue and gold is a strange design decision.
>>23873706I know right? Always made it seem like it was Leon's powerup shared between everyone else.
>>23872839I think Omegahorn might still end up looking like a futuristic armored hero, rather than something more organic/rustic. Just look at the recent Ultraman Omega. The kaiju that are used as armor for him all looked basically like robots.
>>23873463Well, clearly what you care about is more important that the millions of Japanese viewers who do get the reference.
>>23873860Correct.
They already made a "Zyuohger anime" it's just some shorts on youtube starring the zyuoh Cubes https://youtu.be/u_efWFPZLEk?si=k2pDVJeycA0twtKo
>>23873748only Trigaron (and later the turtle one which used the same mold) that looks robotic
>>23873934why crab thoout of any animals
>>23873934I love having the same monster suit every episode!!!
>>23873748He looks like this
