I think the Sentai series could make it to Blu soon and probably will. However, I would feel better with the chances if they had started with releasing the older series on Blu.
From what I know about film transfers for HD and how shows were edited and transferred, Goranger-Dairanger would probably be the easiest as they were most likely shot, edited, and visual effects done on film and only need a rescan of the film. From Kakuranger to Magiranger, there maybe more problems, as the episodes seemed to have been finished on video. While rescanning the film and re-cutting it to match won't be a problem, the visual effects need to be redone, from the footage of the models/heroes needing to be recomposited to the CG (most likely rendered in 480i/p) being redone. I know this because I'm a Star Trek fan and Star Trek: The Next Generation faces the same problems. After Boukenger, it shouldn't be a problem, depending if they were finished in 720p or 1080p (Bouken and Geki being the prime suspects).
This is all conjecture on my part, as I have no idea what processes the production team used and I'm just guessing. I'm just saying what I do know and educated guesses. Here's where I got most of my knowledge and opinions about HD rescanning came from:

All in all, I think it's extremely likely we'll get all the series, but some of them are more likely to come than the others. It should just be a matter of time. We're more likely to get the movies for all of them before the shows, especially the Kaku-Magi area, since the movies should likely have been done in a high enough resolution to go to theaters.
I would imagine that they might start doing it at...some point. Gokagier is going to be the first Sentai series released on Blu-ray, so I would think anything would be possible. Though it might take a while, isn't the restoration process rather intensive?
I wouldn't say Gokaiger would be the first Blu series until Toei's gives some news. Granted, Kamen Rider OOO getting series Blus could be a good enough justification, so there is a decent chance. Having said that, I am really hoping Gokaiger makes it to Blu. Pretty much all the Sentai would look great, but any Sentai from the 2000s should look even more awesome, especially Gokaiger. Plus, the show is awesome storywise, which would make the Blus even more awesome.
As for the series itself being released on Blu Ray, Gokaiger will be the first to get the treatment ...
As for the rest of the series, i can see it happening ... they may decide to sell it as a Blu Ray Boxset but mind you, its gonna cost lots of yen ... even more expensive than the
Ultraman Cosmos Memorial Box coming out in July, maybe, no ?
Possible, but I would put safe money on individual volumes like the DVDs. Just my guess. Again, I think it be hard to try and guess. I rather wait for news from Toei and think about the video/audio quality and any new extras.
oh...my...GOOOOODDDDDDD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :castlerock: :buttrock: :castlerock: :buttrock: :laugh:
YES!!!!! Thanks for the heads up. I am stoked. I took the liberty to (Google) translate some of it, like the special features.

Enjoy your case to your heart's Super Sentai Movie World!
I checked the list of movies and I think we might get Goranger and JAKQ on Blu-Ray, as the movies that were just episodes of those shows aren't included. Could be nothing, but it seems weird when they were included on the DVD.
Even if those movie episodes aren't included, great news. While I wouldn't call the 35th series getting a Blu release, I just knew some of the older Sentai films would get Blu releases. This makes Blus of the series more likely. Happy news. :castlerock: (If you heard girlish screaming, very likely it was me. :laugh
