I just think it’s funny that because he did Decade and Zi-O, which are divisive, everyone ignores that he produced Agito, Ryuki, 555, Blade, Kabuto, Den-O, Amazons, Jetman, Zyuranger, Dairanger, Kyuranger (as an advisor), PGSM, Changerion, and Kikaider Reboot... which are all beloved to varying degrees.

^^^ This times a million. The crowd that’s insistent on ZenKaiser being too Kamen Rider-y are completely ignoring the very obvious Akaranger homage. No one has convinced me that there’s anything Kamen Rider-inspired about his design. Any similarities are incidental to the fact that both Akaranger and Kamen Rider Ichigo were designed by the same guy and conform to his very singular design aesthetic. |

The point is that you shouldn't only base an opinion off of only two series when there are other series under their belt.

I'm honestly baffled there are people in here who can defend Super Hero Taisen with a straight face. That is hands down one of the most insanely stupid tokusatsu films I have ever watched, only outdone by Kamen Rider The First and The Next (which he also produced). It is literally 90 minutes of good characters acting evil and fighting each other for no reason with some of the weakest fight choreography I can recall. Shirakura is also very transparent that he likes to play favorites (look at how much love he gives Kamen Rider Amazon compared to almost every other Showa Rider). So I wouldn't be surprised if this show winds up favoring certain past Sentai tributes over others. Maybe even ones he had in making. Hopefully Komura (and inevitably Arakawa as a secondary writer) will be able to pull out a good show from whatever his ridiculous demands may be this time. |

Well, look on the bright side with people who don't like Shirakura, at least he won't be producing Rider's 50th anniversary show...maybe.

zyuohger is still one of my favorite sentai series of all time, with some of my favorite, and thematically solid, villains (even if naria got shafted badly, and even then i understand why). lupat mainly suffered from severe and obvious rewrites due to the toyline not doing well (a lot of foreshadowing with the butler man doesn't pay off, patranger obviously were going to have a larger role but ended up being put aside because lupinranger were more popular) but it was still overall an enjoyable season, far from the worst sentai's produced.
so i don't reaaaalllly get why people are so worried? i know kiramager is really good and will be hard to top but... idk i'm sure the series will be fine overall, sentai usually pulls through in its anniversary seasons edit: i was just gonna leave this but i love zyuohger too much to not elaborate So, Zyuohger's theme is the connections we make with each other and the positive interactions those leave, mostly shown by how these two different worlds interact and how a lot of episodes involve minor characters. Well, the villains represent negative connections, poisoned and severed connections. Almost all of the villains hate each other. Azald hates Cuval, Naria hates both of them but is completely loyal to Genis, who hates everything, and Cuval hates Genis. And of course, the only positive connection in all this is Naria and Genis... who kills her without a second thought. Genis himself is LITERALLY thousands of beings connected, and he hates it. Genis perpetuates a cycle of hate and distrust through the death games, distancing himself from both his minions and the actual worlds he destroys simply so he can make himself feel better about a situation he chooses to hate. The only person Genis has any connection to is himself, through a mix of egotism and self-loathing. The entire set up is genuinely more thematically solid than Sentai usually gets, especially with its villains (maaaybe Liveman's villains beat it out? i haven't watched all of liveman though). I do really think that Genis is like, top 5 Sentai villains. Of course, there is a GENUINE chance that I'm looking too deep into this because Dogranio was Genis-lite without any of the thematic writing choices, even without considering rewrites. Guess we'll have to see how the villains of Zenkaiger play out. Last edited by Bionichute; 12-22-2020 at 08:58 AM.. |

They’ll probably share a gear and number. Maybe special GP versions later?

It makes more sense for them to have separate Gears with their corresponding numbers, considering they're part of the 45 legendary Sentai that Zenkaizer is supposed to represent.
