    2016 Super Sentai Rumors/News Thread (40th Anniversary) - Doubutsu Sentai Juuouger

    That's a picture from the Toei Hero Next stage play, which is an adaptation of "We Are Bounty Hunters" (the movie with the Kyoryuger cast.) The actors of Nossan, Ian, Utchy, and Kagura are in the shot

    Why aren't people warming to ToQger?

    I wondered why there seems to be so little discussion and fanworks surrounding ToQger this year? It seems strange, given how popular Kobayashi is and that her shows are usually very beloved with fans (Go-Busters was divisive, but it inspired a lot of debate and it has a loyal fanbase of its...

    Juuden Sentai Kyoryuger - News/Rumors/Pictures

    The name would be spelled the same way in Japanese. We can guess that "our" Amy ie. KyoryuPink uses that romanization just because she's supposed to be Japanese-American. AFAIK what we actually have is this: http://sve.2chan.net/cgi/g/src/1391112448276.jpg A few people on Rangerboard were...

    2014 Sentai: Ressha Sentai Tokkyuger - News/Rumor Thread

    But ... she wrote TimePink, GingaPink, Yoko, Satonaka, who were pretty balanced characters (even though Satonaka was not that developed?) She wrote all the PGSM girls? I wonder why it seems so strange to her As was pointed out on Rangerboard, all the Tokkyugers are exact shades of metro lines...

    Is there an optimum Rider cast size?

    I've seen a few complaints around the fandom that recent Rider series have casts that are "too big" and prevent characters from being "developed" - specifically citing Gaim and Fourze. Wizard, on the other hand, had a fairly small cast and yet people still complained that its characters were...

    Why is Sentai expected to take risks but Kamen Rider expected to keep convention?

    I asked this question over at the Ask.fm page for Low Visibility (Lynxara & MattComix's podcast) and they said they would address it in the future. I'm looking forward to that, but wanted to throw the subject out there because with Gaim starting it's been in my head for a while: It seems to me...

    Single Girl Only Sentais - Problem or No?

    Translation: "Don't talk about this! You might start to think other people deserve consideration!" (Note: I do not agree with the sentiments expressed in the above image, I'm just presenting an opposing view) It's because the prevailing view in Japan is still that women should get married...

    Why is Yasuko Kobayashi so beloved?

    Now that Go-Busters is due to end next week, I'm seeing a lot of comments on various fanboards along the lines of "we can't possibly have a happy ending, Kobayashi is writing this!" or "Kobayashi's the writer so the finale is sure to be epic!" Kobayashi seems to be one of the most popular...

    If you could change one thing about the current Sentai/Rider formats what would it be

    I've noticed that a lot of us around here have this ONE issue that we seem to come back to every time in our posts when discussing Sentai/Rider, so I'll bite. If you could change one thing about the current format of each, what would it be? Would you make all Sentai do the mecha like Go-Busters...

    Shinkenger/W - What did they do right?

    It seems that over the last few years, Shinkenger and W have been the only shows in Sentai and Rider respectively that were popular with both the target audience and our side of the fandom, and successful enough that they were a momentary break in the trend of decline for these franchises...

    [Discussion] Kodai Shoujo Dogu-chan/Bakuha Seyo Dogun V

    [Discussion] Kodai Shoujo Dogu-chan/Dogun V After the talk about this show in the Kyoryuger rumour thread, I thought it was time for a proper discussion post. So, Dogu-chan. Good? Bad? Ugly? One-note fap fodder, or overlooked masterpiece? Somewhere in between? Talk.

    What's Wrong With GoBusters?

    Fixed! Actually, Enter's design reminds me a little of the character "Corroder" from the Clock Tower video games: (You can't see it properly in that picture, but there's a big tank on his back like the Enetron tank Enter carries)

    Change in the Sentai/Rider format - how much and why?

    There's a lot of discussion at the moment about Go-Busters's ratings/sales. It's widely praised in English-speaking fandom for being creative, different, breaking from the usual formula, etc. and yet it's on course to be the lowest-rated Sentai series ever. Gekiranger, which also tried to shake...

    2012/2013 Kamen Rider - Kamen Rider Wizard... CONFIRMED.

    But ... the Olympics happen every four years. Kamen Rider never mentions it, and this year it's being held in London, not Japan. Asides of which, Fourze will still be on the air during the Olympics

    [J-TALK] Henshin Hotties Ver. 4. Cosplay: Yes. Roleplay: No. (Please I.D. all pics you post)

    ^ I misread that as "dollar's bottom." :sweat: And what a fine bottom it is. OK, re-up (It's still Emi Hasegawa)
