I'm wondering. Goseiger was original, Gokaiger was very original, Akibaranger I still don't like. But. I'm wondering if maybe the idea tree died.
We've already had Dinosaurs multiple times, so many vehicle combinations. I think the last truely original idea they had was Shinken and Gokai. And with this new "Thunder Beast" idea. I don't know. Though the fact they're making a Hyena Mech? Very excited. Am I wrong here? Are they tapped out? |

its not that they are out of ideas
gobuster was a new idea they wanted to test out, and by them pretty much revamping it mid season it shows it just wasn't popular. Akibaranger is the most original sentai ever, its so damn awesome gokaiger, has original ideas, but it is based around a 35th anniversary goseiger, it just super sentai 101 to me, don't really see anything ground breaking there

They're problem was they didn't flush out story untill the revamp. It was let down by writers, not concept. |

One character can't possibly redeem an entire show, though.

I thought it was pretty much figured out that they're only going back to dinos after the abysmal ratings of GoBus. It's less an idea and creative thing and more of a money thing.
There are tons of unexplored ideas, and there are even themes worth going over again (The martial arts series Dai and Geki are freaking awesome). They flubbed the spy theme (That's what I'm told GoBus was aiming for), the pirate theme bombed, and no one liked what they did with angels, so why not go back to the beginning, get ratings to a nice point, and then try something new again?

No, Akibaranger is a brilliant piece of sentai and a truly excellent piece of TV full stop. It's clever, self referencing and still packed with all the action a toku fan could want.
I also don't really see how you can say the idea tree has run dry when all we have is a name for the next series and a few rumours, at least hold off judgement till we see the mecha, if it is just Daizyujin 2.0 then you can go wild =p |

This. Characters like Doggie/Dekamaster may be awesome, but he can't save Dekaranger from having no plot.

There are far, very far, from running out of ideas. I still haven't seen the Western or Medieval Knights Sentai I've been waiting for a while now. I don't think we've had a proper space opera series yet, since Megaranger had a video game theme. I agree with Matrixbeast in that some themes could be explored again (such as dinosaurs and yes, martial arts).
