Great... ANOTHER idiot red character who is probably going to be treated more as the protagonist given his team is listed first in the titles. At least, that's what it sounds like but he's also quite young. Being a 17 year old thief could be something that leads to quite a dark backstory so hopefully he is actually an interesting character.
The show does look quite promising, though I'm going to temper expectations for this. The series' track record suggests that this is probably the right thing to do but if it turns out to be really good then that will be great.

I'm looking forward to the supporting cast. It's rare to get a black actor in anything but a single episode appearance as a bystander or character/monster of the week. To get one acting as the mentor is pretty awesome.

OH GOD, I hope the Commissioner won't be written as a racist caricature.

Well Devilman Crybaby showed that Japan CAN care enough to avoid being racist I think but Japan doesn't get why blackface is bad

I...don't remember any black actor in toku acting on racial stereotypes?
I mean you can say the closest you get is the aforementioned cat phantom in Wizard but at the same time, I think it was mainly due to the animal the phantom was based on rather than the person. It was just a "wrong place, wrong time" decision. |

A brotha like me running the show in a sentai? Wow. I’m excited, and suuuuuuuuper nervous. I understand the actor is very careful about not portraying a Stepin Fetchit type, but I’m cautious. If he is on here coonin’ I might have to stop watching. Hoping for the best.
Just caught the trailer. That was pretty darn fantastic. Beautiful slo-mo shots, new locations, and some pretty cool action. I’m glad the rangers have clothing outside of their “uniforms” because both teams are a little meh in that department. Mecha look great with all the practical effects as well. Also, The Lupin Collection is far too toyetic for those not to be in a catalog in the future. |

Off topic, I do hope the tsuika senshis of the show are the rumored pirate team like Darth Gonzo shared previously. Because if so it means we get three teams each representing air(Lupinranger), land(Patranger), and sea(rumored pirate team). And I bet the first part of their names spell out kaizoku which means pirate.
