Watch other Toku, Ultraman and Garo exist, among others, and I bet the void left behind would be filled very quickly by talented people with good ideas.
Plus theres lots of classic Toku I've never seen, I have decades of shows to watch Site wouldn't change too much either. Weekly threads can be replaced by rewatching of shows the community decides on and I bet the merch would keep going regardless so we can always discuss about that.

Weekly threads can be replaced by rewatching of shows the community decides on and I bet the merch would keep going regardless so we can always discuss about that. Many of the heroes in older entries have become villains in Kamen Rider since then! http://ukiyaseed.weebly.com/ukiyasee...ronmen-kyodyne http://tokusatsunetwork.com/2016/05/15793/ The Threads also tend to focus on Godzilla and P.R., and since those are still moving forward, discussions can still continue! A hiatus would be a temporary recourse! Probably wouldn't last too long! Another option for Toei instead of a COMPLETE HIATUS is a series or two focusing on the return of heroes to face new villains, while upgrading their Gear and Mecha in the process! It doesn't even have to introduce new heroes like Decade or Gokaiger, just newer secondary characters to help the Sempai Heroes do new things! In fact, Decade and Gokaiger could be among those who return with new forms to use! Gokaiger could also get a new Mecha, since a previous Thread (http://www.tokunation.com/showthread...090#post723090) mentioned that many Greater Powers of Sentai haven't been used, and NEW FORMS AND MECHA could satisfy toy sales while returning Sempai Heroes will satisfy the nostalgia crowd, and make the Sempai a relevant draw outside of cameo appearances in single episodes and Movies! |

Like what everyone has said, this site would go nowhere if Toei puts Kamen Rider and Sentai on hold. We have so many shows with so many episodes. We would never get bored. Also there is also other Toku to talk about as well like Godzilla, Gamera, Metal Heroes, Garo, Zeiram, Moonlight Mask, etc. There is even Toku with no Kaiju and Superheroes to talk about too. I have been on other forums for other fandoms that have went years without no material and we still had many things to talk about.
I'd personally prefer people expand their horizons with Toku than just Sentai/Power Rangers and Kamen Rider because I'd argue it's actually healthy that you do. It's a big world out there with so many to choose from. I would even recommended non Japanese Toku stuff to keep people hold over since many Toku actors are in other movies and TV shows too.

What they said /\/\/\
..I have a lot of Showa era stuff I still have to watch also. I watched the first few Showa Kamen Riders then jumped to Heisei and stayed there. But I plan on watching every KR series. |

1978 is hiatus year for Super Sentai Series. After that, we can see Super Sentai finally has first giant robot, the Battle Fever Robo in Battle Fever J Series (1979)

We still have plenty of series to report on: Ultraman, Godzilla, Garo and that new Gridman anime if that ends up sticking around.
Plus, I find it hard to beleive that Toei would put those two shows on hiatus without having something else to take it's place. |

They also wouldn't have been able to make that deal with Amazon either if they planned on going on hiatus. Too many anniversaries coming up for both too. So right now, a hiatus is the last thing on their mind. Too much to market and profit off of. And based on trends, we're due for another Power Rangers surge in popularity globally. Not to mention how much it's already surging in expanded licensing to South Korea, and other markets. As well as how much Sentai is gaining traction again, and the all-time high that Build was for Riders which Zi-O looks to keep going. So in other words, it's Nintendo syndrome. They won't go on hiatus because it's too busy printing money for them. And yup, as you said, too much tokusatsu and tie-in material across the board. So even without Sentai and Riders(not that they are going anywhere anytime soon anyway!), too much material to cover between all the other franchises out there. This site would feel no impact either way. If anything, the extra other material getting made would cause a surge from new audiences pulled in from the different genres/markets tapped. |
