I'm going to take a guess that the Go-Busters adaption is not going to have anyone from Megaforce back and it'll be an all new cast. Either that or explain why in the beginning only three of them remain to be changed into new Rangers and then the other two show back up later (they went to a peace conference :lolol).

It took then from the beginning of MMPR all the way til the halfway point of Turbo to finally have an all-new cast take over way back when the seasons kept jumping into the next Sentai show's zords. At least by Zeo though they stopped using the Zyuranger costumes.

I'm honestly curious for what Saban is going to do with Go-Busters if he has to do each show under contract.

From what I always understood and I may be wrong...

Samurai was actually a rushed season - hence the nearly identical storyline and dialogue to Shinkenger. I want to say one of the stunt guys wrote on his blog how everything was rushed and the decision was made to keep it as close to the Sentai as possible, both because it proved popular in Japan and because it would cut down on production time ... it's easier to "Americanize" a story than it is to create a whole new one and find footage to match what you're trying to make.

With Megaforce, they had more time and developed a more original story which apparently only gets better with Super Megaforce (though I'm being very skeptic about that claim). The stunt guy said they shot a LOT more American footage for Megaforce and Super Megaforce than they ever did for Samurai or Super Samurai combined.

Gobusters will happen. Saban is contractually obligated to adapt and use the footage. It would be stupid to try and fit Kyoryuger in to the Gobusters theme because they are SO different (even more than Goseiger/Gokaiger).

Not that it would stop him from trying.

I'd love to see what he'd try before another exec tells him to give up and make them separate shows :p

saban followed gobuster story lines before johnathn t ruied gobusters story lines and I want jothan t fired right after pr 2014

Y'know, while there is a small amount of empirical evidence (Megaforce using Gosei footage rather than skipping to Gokai), I've never actually heard a real source say that not skipping over any series is a contractual obligation. Is there any interview with Saban people or a news article I've missed?

From the PowerMorphicon before Megaforce was announced. Someone hugh up confirmed that Megaforce will be Goseiger because they cannot contractually skip seasons.

I still believe that the Goseiger adaptation would have worked better as a Mini-Series (like the alien rangers) that lead directly into the events of Gokaiger/Super Mega, introducing the Zangyack (or whatever they'll be called), and the Legend War while keeping the Gosei/Gokai cast separate. Dedicating the Gosei footage to introducing Zangyack would have rised the stakes and made it feel as if they were a big threat worthy of the ultimate ranger team-up

Plus that way they would have been able to show the 20th anniversary series, in the freaking anniversary.

Saban, I miss the old you.

Hear me out- Go-Busters will be stretched over 2 years with rather scattered airings that are spaced out enough that kids don't forget episodes permitting Saban to adapt a proper Kyoryuger and catch up to at least Korea when it come to airing Sentai adaptations.

Why must Go-Busters be unceremoniously breezed through that way? Because it's toys permit it. Go-BusterOh, Buster Hercules and Tategami LiOh are the only giant robot toys from the series and FS-0O is the only Accesory Mecha (and a special edition movie figure at that!). Cut out the frog, and the show can be aired and skipped. Sorta.

Or just air it as a Summer Series. That works too.

Or GO-Busters will become the new 'Alien Rangers' thing they do real quick and then jump right into Kyoryuger as quick as possible to try and appeal to the old school Power Ranger fans.

"Look everyone, dinozords are back! See? SEE!? Oh, and we added diversity by changing one of the four male rangers to female again just like the original Power Rangers show because we're PC!"
