This also means any future Super Sentai sub releases will not have the timestamp clock in 1 corner. They stop that at 8AM.

Why is there a timestamp anyway?

If what I heard is correct, its because being on time is very important in Japan and the clock is to help them keep track of time while they're watching TV early in the morning. You know, for school and work and stuff.

I wonder if the time change will have any impact on the ratings?

I am a bit positive about this since it could mean more people have the chance to watch the shows in Japan. And all it took was a high-profile 1970~1980s boy band member to make this happen. :lolol

While I don't think that Kamen Rider's ratings will change much, this might actually be a good move for Sentai. Since Kamen Rider's airing first, fans of that show might just stick around since they're already on the channel. Granted, its no secret that ratings don't matter all that much, but having better ones certainly couldn't hurt.

It's possible that given the new timeslot, they might try to pitch the next Sentai to a *slightly* older demographic, closer to the Kamen Rider demographic. It could also just as easily have nothing to do with content, but I'll hope it does.

Probably, considering Rider & Sentai both will now have to compete with DB Super & One Piece in their new timeslot in comparison their current timeslot where they are competing with the Pokemon programming block.

That'll be good news for Sentai if they take the tone a bit more seriously. I mean KyuRanger is doing a great job so far. I hope this helps both series.

Not really, I believe the 7th episode officially hit the lowest ratings a Sentai episode ever got
