I had to cheat and look up stuff for the post-Kabuto metal hero shows...:sweat:

Jun Hikasa produced B-Fighter Kabuto, Kabutack, and Robotack?..... why am I not surprised? :redface2:

Hikasa's a strange one. He was behind three decent Sentai shows -- GoGoFive, Timeranger, Abaranger. Heck, I even enjoy some of Gaoranger. But then he turns around and does three Sentai shows I completely despise, shows that I find to be among the worst the franchise has seen, like Boukenger, Go-onger, and Goseiger. Has he just stopped caring, like is he the producer equivalent of Inoue?

My wacky theory is that it was his dream to work on Rider, and he got his shot with Blade, which was a really messy, really mixed bag, so he did stop caring after blowing that. The shows he did prior to '04 weren't bad, but after '04 are bad.
