K-k-kivvaaaaa!!!
I LOVE the new concept of good vs bad sentai, but the "alternating weeks" gimmick rumor could either suck so hard or be incredible because, damn, it's going to take a lot of work to make that make sense. But if it does... WOW.

I love Kiva, but yeah, they didn't tie it together very well. |

It's early enough that I'm taking everything with a grain of salt. If we do have the two alternating teams that'd certainly be different, but again suspect timing.
I also see this as a way Bandai can hedge their bets. Depending on how different the teams look, and what themes their mecha have, Bandai could be able to aleviate risk if one is not as popular. Maybe Patoranger will have vehicle mecha and Lupinranger animal, for example. And speaking of Lupinranger, I'm really wondering how they'll set up a group of "Phantom Thieves" using giant robots. Kinda the furthest thing from sneaky. On the other hand I'm also looking forward to them following in their obvious inspiration's footsteps and foiling much worse people during their crimes. |

Let me rephrase that. I'm wondering how they'll play a group of master thieves getting into the fight with the monster of the week. I'm seeing them being very much like Lupin III in that they'll steal from worse criminals most of the time, and end up taking them down. Also if the monster are made to grow via some sort of object we need at least one episode where a Lupinranger steals it before the bad guys can use it.

Poor writing is not looking for faults when that IS a fault.
Of course those are the popular ones, they are the only ones who have been developed. Why even bother with Hammy, Garu, and Sparda at all if they weren't planning to do anything with them? Those three were introduced in the first episode and the fact that a dude that got introduced 22 episodes after has had far more character develop is down right disgusting. Or maybe it is just flat out laziness. I don't know, but Toei has clearly shown they can't handle 12 characters. Yep, which is another reason why this show blows chunks. Okay, so? What are their parents like? Do they have siblings? What made Hammy to not be shy when she was a kid? What led to Sparda starving enough to be a chef? Is he from a poor planet? Are there poor planets? What about Garu's race? How were they wiped out? What were they like? Did Garu ever get married? Was he the runt of the pack? Did they have good lives while growing up? Were they always on the run after Don Amarge took over the universe? Why were these guys chosen to be Kyurangers? What made them worthy enough? How have these characters changed since the show started? You're right, there hasn't been a good Sentai since Gokaiger. I keep watching every show hoping it is going to be the next Dairanger. Also, I keep watching for the same reason I am still watching The Simpsons each season. It's called maschistic completionsim. I can't just drop a franchise/show I got invested in regardless of how terrible it is. I need to see the whole thing until it ends no matter how much it frustrates me. We saw most not all of them how they got their Kuytama. I disagree since Gokaiger two other Sentai I like Kyoryuger and Zyuohger. Both very well written shows with a lot of plot and focus for the teams. And very popular ones I might add. Maschistic completionsim is on you a problem you make yourself have. There not going to be the next Dairanger ever. The 90's of Sentai days are gone. The only time we got something close to it was Gekiranger and it was a well written show. My advice to you don't watch any new Sentai if you think it going to be the next Dairanger your just going to be disappoint and angry. |

Now for Kyoryuger, I can't agree with you because the show pretty much focused on Daigo and only Daigo. Daigo is the original Mr Perfect. Quote:

But seriously, lower your expectations. Not everything has to live up to Dairanger or Gekiranger (or the other two series you list higher than Gekiranger) to be enjoyable. Sure, it'd be nice if we got another series that could stand alongside those, but by always focusing on what a show is NOT, you're missing out on enjoying what it actually IS. The idea of a dual season sounds awesome to me. I look forward to seeing if it ends up being true or not.

The point, which you keep missing, is that if you keep EXPECTING a series to be that good, you're going to be disappointed. Just let it happen. Don't expect anything, and you'll be surprised. I've enjoyed series that are generally seen as bad, simply because I went in with no expectations - only to see what they had prepared for me. It seems like there have been more Sentai seasons that you DIDN'T enjoy than ones you DID enjoy. Why not take a break and let reviews come in for the next season?
