The biggest problem is that alot of raws for older shows have to come from blu-ray and DVD rips. You may not know it but Japanese home video releaess like that are crazy expensive. Full series boxed sets can cost upwards of $400 on blu-ray. A sub group would first have to find someone who could either buy it in Japan for them or find somewhere online to buy them. Then actually pay those prices just to sub them for free. Unfortunately it isn't entirely cost effective in most cases
How come DVDs are so expensive in Japan? |

Except the 61.52% of 90's Sentai has been subbed. It's quickly catching up with the 2000's 75.95% completion of subbed episodes. Yes, I did the math.

People in Japan don't tend to buy DVD's of sentai very often. So when they are released they're usually pretty limited. Which means less people get them, it's like a cycle that feeds on itself unfortunately. Check out Mandarake some time and see the crazy prices sentai DVD's go for. Here's a great example. Shinkenger DVD set for 60,000 yen! That's $627!
And that is a recent iteration as well, so I'm guessing those missing ones from the 90s and early 00s are probably going at....well those prices are already insane, so I don't know, deranged prices? Haha. At least I can understand why so much is missing now. |

Gokaiger had some pretty serious moments, though I'm not exactly sure what you deem as "serious."

Yeah JAKQ was, and then they added Big One to lighten the tone of it.
