Sun Vulcan definitely should show up, just for Matrixbeast :P
To be honest though, I feel like the animal motif for that show, and even for Liveman, begins and ends with the way things look. It's not like Gekiranger where there's a strong animal motif; the looks are just based on animals. So I wouldn't have a problem with the older teams not showing up.

I'd be...So...Elated to have Sun Vulcan honored in a modern day crossover. They did so much for us...Just ecstatic.
I'm on the fence about Liveman, too, since the animal theme was more of a design byproduct for it's heavier technology theme. Basically to help it's jets and trucks stand out from the dozen of other Sentai jets and trucks before it. Though, it did feature the first animal mecha (Land Lion).

They really don't. Lol. But it was before every ranger had their own mech, is what I meant, but you know that.
I think Liveman could show up; the show is more about teens trying to redeem their friends with a subtle nature vs science undertone thrown with the suits and mechs. But if they were left out, I would understand. I guess if anyone comes back, it will answer what teams Toei considers to be animal themed sentai lol |

Well, the teams that placed a large emphasis on animals were Gingaman and Gaoranger (And even then, I don't know how big it was for Gingaman, since I haven't gotten around to watching it...It could be minimal for all I know). Gekiranger had a very large animal theme, but it was also sharing the time with it's martial arts theme, too.

I recently finished Gingaman and it is animal themed, I will say that, but the animals played a bigger role in the story like they did in Gaoranger rather than just being the motif (like in Sun Vulcan, Liveman, and Gekiranger).
Watch Gingaman, it is pretty good. |

It wasn't just the motif in Gekiranger (Their fighting style and geki techniques are based around their particular animal style, there's even geki techniques that turn you into animals (Hence why their mentor is a cat )). I was just saying that Gekiranger had a lot of emphasis on the martial arts, too~
And I'll get around to it...Eventually. Once I finish Hibiki...And Liveman...And Carranger...And Agito... Christ, my "To watch" toku list is getting too damn large to manage...

Werent animals in gingaman more alien-ish rather than real animal-based mechas in Gaoranger or Gekiranger?

They look very alien, but they are a lion, cat, wolf, gorilla, and falcon (that looks like a dragon). The aux are a bull, rhino, and phoenix. So based on real animals (except for phoenix). |

Ah, I see. I just personally place Gekiranger deeper in the "Animal theme" camp because the use of animals extends beyond the mecha. But yeah, it very much is a martial arts series at it's core.

I don't really know the nature or why, though. Haven't seen Gingaman...

I think Gaoranger is definitely a given, being both a prior anniversary season and an Animal themed season. Maybe it'll be a situation similar to Ninninger's special where a few animal themed Red warriors will show up, maybe it'll be a full movie, but who knows at this point?
Despite how it would clash with the theme, for sake of the Anniversary, I'd like to see one or two of the Gokaiger crew come back. See how they've been after about three or four years. |
