I don't like shows with too many secondary writers, but series with effectively two writers sometimes do quite well narratively (Double, heh) and some don't (Kabuto).
That said, the problem Sentai has is one that also plagued Rider in recent years: writer burnout and a general lack of direction that the merchandise shilling the executives mandate doesn't help.
Well, I wouldn't say Boukenger was the last cool series...Gekiranger was really good and Shinkenger was also good even it could have been much better given the premises...
When I infiltrate Toei & take over, mwahahahahahaaaa!!!!!!:laugh:
Seriously, though, I agree with Tokuboy. The writers are running out of ideas & becoming lost & loathful of their careers stuck in the depths of Toei. I suspect if some of these writers were to find work on another project & Toei hired a few new writers- got just a bit of fresh blood in there- we'd start to see better work from them.

I just want the damn shows to go back to the basics of Super Sentai.
Aliens come down and start blowing the holy hell out of everything, everyone shits their pants except five attractive combat-trained teenagers and twenty somethings, other alien thing gives them plot decive and they transform into the whatever sentai whateverman. That's it, nothing more and nothing less.
I love the modern **** but I just want to see another live action Gachaman/Getter robo show again not random animals/samurais/space ranger/olsen twins stuff.
