After her last few shows, I'd be more hopeful for new cast members if Takebe isn't the producer. She seems to enjoy picking people who didn't make the cut for previous shows or people she personally knows. (which I think can sometimes lead to less than inspiring performances)

As far as the writer situation...

Over the last two years, it looks like Toei has been in the midst of transitioning their two regular secondary writers to head writer positions. Komura and Shimoyama have written more episodes as fill in writers than anyone else in Toei's stable. We're probably going to see Shimoyama again sometime soon if only because their current stable of head writers has shrunk. It's actually very interesting if you look at credits over the last five or six years.

There have been about 11 writers on all of Sentai since Gokaiger, secondary or head, and of those, the two regular secondary writers have become head writers. The only other semi regular person is Nobuhiro Mori, who did episodes for Go-Busters and Ninninger. (14 in total, plus a crossover special) I think it's possible Mori becomes the writer on Kyuuranger if Toei wants to keep that transition rolling. Mori has written more for Kamen Rider but it seems like Toei likes stunt hiring for Rider's writer position, so I could realistically see Mori as head writer on Sentai in the near future. There's a new writer doing secondary episodes for Zyuohger, but I don't know that Toei would want to give someone that head writer credit after just a handful of episodes if they don't have some sort of pedigree in the manga or anime world.

I still wanna push for Kobayashi to come back but she doesn't seem to do Sentai these days without Utsunomiya as the producer and he's doing Zyuohger, so chances are high on him returning so soon.

If you wanna take a guess at potential producers, Sentai has only had three in the last six years:

Takaaki Utsunomiya: Gokaiger, ToQger, Zyuohger
Naomi Takebe: Go-Busters, Ninninger (and these both bombed so I dunno how realistic a choice she is)
Takahito Ohmori: Kyoryuger (is working on Ex-Aid so I'd say he's out)

Since Toei producers will often do Sentai and Rider, also in play is:

Kazuhiro Takahashi: Ghost (but it looks like he was removed from the head producer position, so, again, not sure how realistic this is)


So! The choices for producer are 1)Someone whose only Sentai have sported toylines that completely bombed 2)Someone who was, in all likelihood, taken off the job late in the game on his first series and 3)Someone who is doing the current show and a back to back producer has not happened in a really, really long time.

Creatively, Sentai is not in the most enviable position for choices.

Of course after two years of shows and toylines doing badly, Toei could hit us out of left field with someone like Toshiki Inoue as writer.

In addition to what Lucha mentioned, he's writing a manga called Sword-Gai, which is getting an anime adaptation later this year. (it runs in the same magazine as the Kuuga and Ultraman manga)

I got a fun question

If you have to take a guess of what will be NINE Ranger's personality, What will be their personality

According to the official synopsis that 9 Ranger with a Strong Personality

I've been thinking, what if orange, silver, gold, pink are voice only?
So in other words, The main five will be actual people actors while the B squad are more like Torin or Beet J Stag.
Probably could crank out a Pinocchio-ish episode if they wanted to as well where one of them feels like they don't belong on Earth and want to look human, only to have things go haywire.

I don't know about Pink Ranger, Orange Ranger and Silver Ranger being completely ROBOT! but I like the idea of Gold Ranger being android like Pinocchio-type character

I have a feeling that Kyurangers could be ancient warriors awakened by the tear of innocent people because the official synopsis

Think about it! Kyuranger are bascially what if Zyuranger were a space warrior instead of dinosaur warrior!

zyurangers are dinos warriors and mmprs1 base on zyuranger

I don't think it's unreasonable to hope for Kobayashi. She has written two of the last 5 series, so it's not like she's been gone long enough to have completely moved on. Amazons 2 is really the question mark, but maybe writing is complete for that? She's an incredibly prolific writer, so her pulling double duty might not be that unreasonable either.

I honestly think we have more reason than usual to hope for a left-field candidate too. So much about Kyuranger is risky and unusual (9 warriors to start, a premise that seems to have the earth already under evil alien rule when the heroes are assembled), and I wouldn't be surprised if that oddness carries over to the creative staff.

I really can't wait till all is revealed. This year more than usual.

Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if we got someone new to write. Kyuranger so far seems very much like an attempt by Toei to breathe some fresh air into Sentai, and getting a writer we haven't seen before would make sense for that.

Yeah I agree with that one! It seem Toei decides to take a risk with Super Sentai by making 9 Ranger Show! In last years, They always play safe with Super Sentai and now they want to make Kyuranger very unique and different than Recent Super Sentai

I'd always be in for Kobayashi because she is extremely good at writing characters. And having 9 heroes alone to flesh out, she might be the best one for the job.
I mean, she managed to breath life into the relatively big cast of the Sailor Moon Toku, heroes, villains and civilians alike, something which no other author in the Sailor Moon franchise ever could manage quite like her.

And if she does pen this show it will be the second time an orange ranger is in her show. :)
