I don't have much hope for the series, to be fair/honest.
There's a push from TOEI to keep Kamen Rider and Super Sentai audiences separate - one for ages 9 and up (Kamen Rider) and one for ages 5 and up (Super Sentai). The "hey kids, let's all dance!" at the end of each episode should be evidence enough of that, but hearing it from official sources is more depressing because it confirms my own feared beliefs. I hope I'm wrong and I hope this year it changes - the evidence that Super Sentai has been making less and less money each series should be enough of a hint to the executives that they need to go in a different direction - because I'd love to go all-in on a Sentai series.

Man, the way you describe it, Super Sentai is almost... Infantile.

Yeah, with the exception of shows such as Shinkenger and Go-busters to name a few primarily they have gone with a more "kid-friendly" route it seems. I am sure I am missing out other examples besides the two above so apologies for that.

As much as I love Gokaiger and Gekiranger, Sentai has gone downhill since Dekaranger. It's the Japanese equivalent of The Simpsons.
You know what I would love to see done again in Sentai? The summer vacation arcs that they did back in the 80s and 90s. It doesn't seem like they have really had the rangers go out to some countryside for several episodes during the summertime like they used to. It's been pretty much homebase from start to finish. |

Yeah...
Although, noting the history of this freaking undying franchise, that's probably a good sign for some point in the future. Every time it looks like the axe is seriously coming, they always bust out an at least solid series, if not a great one. Seriously, sometimes you just have to sit back and marvel at how unkillable Sentai and Rangers are. Rangers has been "officially" cancelled about 5 times, with only one of those actually sticking and only for a year then. I don't even know precisely how many times Sentai's faced it, and they've been running uninterrupted since freaking Battle Fever. That and the franchise is technically older than giants like freaking STAR WARS... Makes you wonder which'll end first, modern civilization or Sentai... |

Emotional torture focused on breaking down one man.

Only if it was financially foolish to not continue. Clearly, the risk would be increased BUT, were Power Rangers was on a highly profitable course and Super Sentai croaked - I could see Saban at least trying a solely domestically produced series before throwing in the towel.

I mean who knows right? Probably gives them more freedom to deviate if they wanted to.
