What was wrong with Go-Buster? I'm not well versed in recent sentai things other than Akiba.

Despite having a really strong opening, it lulled quite a bit until the late 20s. The plot never really advanced, and the show had a massive overhaul to try and combat the bad ratings it was getting. What came afterwards was (in my opinion anyway) excellent, but the damage was done really and the show never managed to win everyone back.

Himoru was also a very poor Red and the team largely lacked much in the way of character development. They definitely had some good ideas, the show did start out really strong.. it just flailed for direction. |

I think what they did afterwards was the death of the show. It was some of the absolute worst filler I've ever seen, with episodes so cliché they could have been part of pretty much any TV series. There were a few inparticular that I'd rate as the absolute worst in Sentai history.

I suspect that the ratings slump is also due to shifting ways of watching TV nowadays. I'm guessing people just aren't that eager to watch TV anymore; that may be why toy sales haven't dropped as much as TV ratings.

Yeah, I heard Gobusters at least did well in the toy sales department.

I know you are kidding but I'd be down for that. Give the Super Sentai a year off to do Space Sheriff Gavan Type-G!

I'm all for a new Metal Heroes show but I'd like to see the movie before championing Gavan Type-G for it. His Go-Busters appearance didn't really sell me on the character.

I'm really surprised Kyoryuger is doing so poorly right out the gate. The show is loud, fun, and exciting. It should be right up there for most kids. But I can see that the decline which began in the middle of Shinkengers run has just become more pronounced each year. Last year just really sunk the ratings so low but it has been progressively worse each year as well.
