They are testing the waters with trying out different things with different Sentai Teams.
Though, hearing about the "Avataro Gear Alters" sounds somewhat similar to Power Rangers Battlizers. Where the Mecha become part of the main form. Just something I thought of.

But, them testing the waters with making CGI Rangers might be also because the lanky proportions of the Pink Ranger and the Chibi Proportions of the Black Ranger would make suit actors near impossible. They are testing out whether they can do the impossible by making CGI Rangers.

Though, now that I am looking at the EnyaRideon, I can see the chestplate half. It's definitely a replacement for Gaon or Magine. Though how it'd Transform is beyond me.

Post-anniversary seasons are always the experimental ones.

#41 was Kyuranger which had a core team of nine.

#36 was Go-Busters with their unique suits.


and even with Zenkaiger already an experimental series they still want to push things further..

Ayumi Shimo wrote a bunch of fun episodes for Kiramager, including Episode Zero and the one where Juru and Kakihara are stuck together. I was expecting her to get a promotion into head writing, unless she's doing other non-toku projects

Huh. Not sure where to think. Suits definitely look good, but the fully CGI rangers has me hesitant. It'll have to be a big leap in quality from Zenkaiger's CGI for it not to look really bad

Kobayashi. but she's probably busy.

I think Komura is a fantastic episode by episode writer. But as a head writer, her shows have pretty terrible pacing (it's also why I think she'd be a terrible fit for Kamen Rider). Personally, I'd like to see someone else tackle DonBrothers. Arakawa would be my dream, but Kiramager will likely be his final Sentai as head writer. Kobayashi is also basically retired from tokusatsu writing.

So my dark horse pick is either Keiichi Hasegawa (though I still would prefer him to helm a Kamen Rider series), or Masahiro Yokotani (the current head writer of Tropical Rouge Precure).

If any writer should be for this show the Zyuoh writer would fit in. Since it animals and ninja has a feel of Zyuohger with the suits design. I only like red so far not liking the cgi for black and pink. Will have to see more pics of the weapons if I want to get them.

I'm just wondering how they're going to portray Kijibrother. Being a male pink, are they going to go the flamboyant route or do something different?

At work so I’ve only seen the poster but I LOVE this so far! Absolutely looking forward to this insanity

Looking at the bike, the bit at the back looks like the shiny diagonal chest-pieces for most of the Zenkaiger mecha. Looks like the bike can combine with all of the Zenkaiger right-side mecha.

I'm not looking forward to entirely-CG team members, but it looks like that's what we're getting. The quality of TwokaiRikki and TwokaiKatana does not leave me optimistic.

Too much black on the legs and torso for my liking. Same reason the Gokaiger suits didn't work for me. I think only Lupinranger have been able to pull if off as a contrast to Patranger.

You mean 46th season.

Yeah, I can see those D-pads on the boot cuffs. Haven't seen that on a suit since Kininjer's visor.

Please give it 2 episodes minimum before judging. That's what I always do for Sentai and KR.

I wasn't expecting the CGI characters to be CGI when morphed as well. But considering the video game motif, maybe it'll make sense somehow. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

I'm with you, Jaz. Komura has indubitably earned the right to be called my favorite Sentai writer, after I totally fell in love with Zyuohger and Zenkaiger. Even though I like LupinPatren a little less, that was more due to production problems and Arakawa not bringing his best as a secondary writer, so I wouldn't deduct any points from Komura for that.

Alternatively, Inoue! Unlikely, but it's nice to dream, right?

Shimo recently wrote Ryusoulger Master's Soul, which stays very true to the spirit of the show and it's this intriguing and dark mystery drama revolving around Master Red, Blue and Pink. I think she has talent for sure.

After her last season?! I would be very apprehensive if she wrote for Sentai ever again.

No, I mean 46th Sentai.

The thread says so and, if I'm assuming you're being technical cause of VS, then:

Toei says the same thing.

The Gears are numbered based on the worlds that the Sentai were splintered in to. Lupinranger and Patranger co-exist in the same world, therefore they share a number.

Also, this:

Oh I'm not judging it, I won't say it is good or bad, I'm just saying I'm slowly but surely getting too old and have too little time to dedicate to something that obviously puts me off.

And I don't want to see two wonky CG Rangers every single episode. I really don't.

Fair enough. I'm a Tokusatsu fan as well, so I can understand not being motivated to watch it if it's not Tokusatsu-y enough.

This is the first thing I thought when I saw the poster.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VKMw2it8dQY

Red looks like Shinken Red, but the topknot being a gear is a neat feature. Also, peach.

Again, Toei must be really confident if they think they can pull off fully CG characters, but I'll wait to see them in action before I decide they made the right choice of not. Of course, there's also the factor of whether or not I find the season interesting or not.

I do like the aesthetic of the Rangers, seeing a male pink is clear that Kamen Rider's use of pink might be something that's influencing that, though I still think he could pull off being a suit ranger, but maybe that's just me.

It will be sad to see Zenkaiger go, but maybe this one will keep me into Sentai, but I'll wait a little longer before deciding if I see this or not.

I’m fully, 1000% loving this reveal.

KijiBrother is clearly all CGI, but the rumors point to InuBrother being a puppet (or at least a puppet enhanced by CGI). You can see that his helmet and hand, at least, are “real.”

There’s also some rumblings that Kiji and Inu are “humanoid” prior to transforming. Also, keep in mind the persistent rumor that these guys will share the Gokaiger-style “transform into past heroes” gimmick, so… maybe some of the all-cgi fears won’t come to pass.

DonBrothers will be written by none other than TOSHIKI INOUE.

The Red looks much better than I expected him to based on the outline we saw previously.

Kijibrother seems a little too tall and slender to be a real person. His feet don't look humanoid either.

Presented by ZAIA!

I guess I can stop dreaming now! :D 30 years since Jetman ended and now the legend himself has returned!

NO FUCKING WAY.

I mean, his track record is spotty. But Jetman is my all time favorite Sentai. I am....beyond curious as hell now.

...This could end up a very polarizing series. From what I heard, the Kamen Rider series that Inoue wrote for had a very... divisive response.

I'm going to wait and see for now, but I'm a bit worried about how Donbrothers will end up.

Outside of Sentai, he wrote my favorite KR season, Faiz!

Bring on all the love triangles! I'm prepared!

According to the same article, Ryuta Tasaki will be returning as lead director, marking his first Sentai as lead director since Gingaman. Tasaki was also director for Agito, 555, and Kiva. So this series just became an early Heisei Rider reunion.

INOUE'S BACK??

OH YESSSSSSSSSSSS.

Even if it isn't good, it will not be boring.

This is maybe the only thing that will get me to try out this show. I am morbidly curious to see what Inoue writing a Sentai series in the 2020s looks like.

So Inoue is Head Writer, Shirakura is the producer...

Buckle up people! When Toshiki Inoue and Shinichiro Shirakura are BOTH involved in a show, this can give us three potential things:

-This will be a revolutionary work that will reshape the genre.

-This will be an absolute trash-fire of a show.

-Both

The staff news here is extremely exciting. It's worth noting Shirakura is apparently continuing as the chief producer, too, so this really is a team we haven't seen since Faiz. A lot of Inoue's recent smaller contributions to Rider have felt sort of half-hearted, but I have to imagine if he's accepting a head writer job again this long after Kiva, he probably has something in particular he wants to say or do with this series. And if Shirakura specifically talked Inoue into it, than he's probably got his own little scheme going here that'll be exciting to find out... even if it ends up being frustrating too.

(Although if the goal is simply to be even weirder than the scripts Koumura turned out for Zenkaiger, than, yeah, Inoue is maybe the only one who stands a chance of topping that madness.)

I hope Shirakura can reign in Inoue. A lot of Inoue's recent work on Rider isn't great. He wrote the worst two-parter of Zi-O, he wrote the awful Rider Time: Ryuki specials, and was responsible for the even worse Decade Vs Zi-O specials.

I'm extremely curious to see what this show looks like, because while he was pretty decent at writing like twenty years ago? Things have only went downhill for his writing, lest we forget his awful Faiz book as well.

I don't know what Persona 5 is.

And wait, this somehow is part of Zenkaiger? Something about a mecha or something?

If that's the case, I'm out. Hated Zenkaiger. Don't want anything to do with it.

Oh. Inoue's writing. Okay then

I'm reeling

I don't, I...

Inoue???? Really?????????

I just...

Maybe this is rude(? lol) I don't want Inoue to write any of the Zenkaigers, I hope it's less of a sequel than we were expecting I guess? Is that rude to say? lol

I don't think I can process this information right now, I'm totally in shock

Uh, I mean, this'll be interesting lol

The word "both" is so powerful here :lol

In my opinion, the best Inoue's work is still Agito.

Jetman is good but the Jetman final episode is not the best Super Sentai final episode.

Awwwww yeah :rock:
So the suits. Definitely feels like they put the Gokaiger, Go-Busters, and Ninninger suits in a blender. It's been a while since we had a team with a Goggle V palette so already curious what the tsuika will be like. Would be a good time to get a green tsuika since it's Dragon Ranger's 30th anniversary in 2022. And get Yosuke Ito to play the character if it ever happens. :lolol

Exactly :lolol

It's hard for me to imagine Inoue penning a modern Sentai, let alone pairing him and Shirakura again.

This is going to be a wild ride.

Holy crap, Inoue wrote the Death Note anime??

That makes way too much sense.

He added a fair number of weird things that weren't in the manga too lol

Kobayashi wrote a number of episodes as well

(Inoue and Kobayashi also wrote for Yu-Gi-Oh! Season Zero)

Accidentally lost the giant rant I was typing, so instead I'll just say that I can't believe they hired this man again and that I *cannot* wait to see the reactions when the show is out. Hearing about Rider Time Ryuki from afar was a trip and a half.

I will tolerate no badmouthing of the manhole cover serial killer arc of Zi-O. That was amazing and it perfectly recaptured Kiva's "fuck you, I ain't explaining shit" attitude towards new toys.
