I think it's more Bandai than Toei, though, and their addiction is really Momotaros. I can give you one clear reason though why it keeps coming: girls. Don't ask me why, but to give an example, half the theater on Saturday was the target audience--5 year old boys and their dads, the old and new generations of KR fans--but the other half was girls in their 20s in little groups, no sons/dads/etc., buying all the Momo (and even Decade) merch they could fig in a bag.

And on top of that, if you go to a big character goods store like Animate, the Ultraman section had a good range of mugs, shirts, etc. with a range of monsters and ultramen, but the KR section is JUST Imagin. And the main customers there are girls, too.

It makes money. People say this as if Toei has some specific love for Den-O. It's just a money making machine that the others were not. Simple. Hate on the Japanese consumer if you must.

Nice observation there man!:thumbs:





I can almost guarantee that for a FFR Double, Decade will pull Double in half and make two swords/guns/weapons etc... Which would be pretty f*ing sweet.

There is merely making money and then there is making money by producing a true-quality product. The latter is the more respectable route.

The movies of Den-O weren't bad, the series was to me.

For the 40th anniversary, it's only right to continue the Showa Era or something.

There are plenty of people who think Den-O is a fine product. Consider viewpoints other than your own when you make statements for a change.

Is Toei's life achievement Den-O? They just won't leave it alone, what about some Kabuto or Faiz sequels? why Den-O? They really enjoy milking this show.

Well, it's good to see Toei knows how to really broaden its audience -___-
