Kiva is a rider series, but a monster theme would be neat, I guess.

They don't give us the sales numbers for Figuarts so everything is speculation, but judging by the sporadic releases, it's pretty easy to see what was going on.
They never bothered to give us the sixth rangers for most of the seasons and for things like Boukenger and Jetman, they never even completed the core cast. So no, even if we eventually get more Sentai Figuarts, it's very unlikely they'll go back and complete the unfinished teams. They're unfinished, because the sales were likely very poor for what was released. Kamen Rider Figuarts and toys in general do much better than Sentai. This season is a bit of an exception, with the ninja theme being hugely popular, but there's pretty much no chance of either show ending anytime soon. |

Every series is the last Sentai season according to people.
Despite the fact that I haven't really enjoyed any series after Gokaiger all that much, and I would love for Sentai to take a rest, it will never happen. I do wish however, that Toei would allow their writers to do what they want with the show the way they did with Carranger as it proved that letting your writers have fun makes the quality of the show better. |

I actually think that might be part of the problem. Since Go-Buster, the writers have put too much emphasis on the fun side of things.

No, I don't mean making it comedy, I mean letting the writers have fun making the show. The reason Gaim turned out as solid as it did was because Urobutchy was given the freedom to do what he wanted to as long as he worked with the gimmick. It feels like the writers of Sentai are being constrained to only focuse on the gimmicks and nothing more.

It doesn't help that Toei has been focusing more on making a highly marketable show than in actually trying to make an engaging show with good characters. After Go-Busters tanked there has been an obvious effort to play everything as safely as possible with lots of stock characters and plots.
