So 3 out of 4 of the none human members are robots. Interesting. Also, the actor playing Sasori is a singer/songwriter. FUCK YEAH!!!!

Expecting James Cameron's Avatar-inspired episode for Garu/Ohkami Blue with a dash of Celine Dion's My Heart Will Go On. :P
As for Sasori Orange's actor, this show is pretty much his TV debut as an actor(his wikipedia page suggests he has done a stage show under Gekidan EXILE, the group Lazer/Kiriya's actor is part of).

Oh yeah, here is concept art for the show by the manga creator of Nobunagun.

I want this pic as my Signature!!!! GOSEI!!! DOWNSIZE IT FOR ME!!!

Hmm, just noticed that spaceship thingy on the pic. I guess that is supposed to represent Orion?
Oh yeah, GPR, there is also this which I use for my sig as of today.

http://www.tv-asahi.co.jp/kyuranger/pre/img/ph01.jpg

Yeah, I noticed. Trust me, totally jealous. Y'all always seem to find the good pics. And I'm left with nothing.

This is so dope! So all the Rangers are aliens from different star systems, that's neat. Obviously some look closer to us humans than others, but still...a full alien team! Yay! Looking forward to seeing what our face actors look like in costume though. Assuming those are just acting headshots.

Scaly prosthetic make-up on part of Naga Rei's face complete with snake eyes contact lens would be fun now that you mention it. :)

And Stinger with his tail outside of the ranger suit. This should be interesting to say the least.

That too :)

Yellows visor is so wierd.. like i feel when he falls to the ground in battle he'll probably break off thw pointy end

Probably will :lolol

Okay, am I the only one finding Tenbin being a thief odd?

Ehh, I like to think of him as the pretentious magician kid that would do MacGyver stuff in high school.

I have to say. I'm curious to see what Power Rangers will do with this show when adapted given so many characters are non-human.

Will they follow the source material...or make the Rangers all human?

Most likely they'll go along with it, considering the only other times a situation like this has popped up it was Saban making MORE of the cast aliens than the Sentai.

I'm really liking the look of the new cast. Really looking forward to seeing them in action.

Power Rangers, if they choose to adapt Kyuranger, will either follow suit or make even more Rangers non-actor Rangers. Reasons? $$$$$. Less to pay for voice over than it is to pay for actor.

Yeah... but that's a cost-cutting decision I wouldn't necessarily mind to be honest. Of course, they could always go the S.P.D. vs. Dekaranger thing and actually improve the non-human characters unmorphed suits, but lets not get our hopes up as that would probably be more expensive.

Looks like Tenbin Gold is the team clown playing off straight man, the emotionless Hebitsukai Silver, if these images say what they seem to!

"HebitsukaiSilver's ability stops the enemy, TenbinGold attacks!"

is what the first image says.

Man I hope they get a great voice actor for Gold. Mamoru Miyano could play off that silent personality really well.

Oh. Oh, no. That suit for Raptor283... *wince* That's too over-the-top saccharine for me, which strengthens my concerns about the poor gender balance on this show. There are only two female heroes, and one of them looks like *that*?!

(For those more pleased with her design: I am envious of you.)

The others may live. I love how Garu looks like Doggie Kreuger 2.0. Well, 2.5, I suppose. I'm a little surprised they're not getting (or haven't had announced) human forms. Maybe a budgetary thing? Could Sentai team sizes in the past have depended somewhat on the size of the regular supporting cast? That'd explain a lot about Go-Busters.

So Balance is the comedic character?
I guess I shouldn't be surprised. I imagined he'd be the straight man, but it's dawned on me that they tend to have the robots be the comedic characters.

Is anyone else calling that Red get's another mecha early in the second quarter for Orange, Pink, Gold, and Silver to combine with so they can have two separate robots like in Zyuohger with King and Wild.

Kajiki Yellow/Spada
- Suit actor is Shinsuke Kusano, an up-and-coming actor
notable roles:
* Bangray from Zyuohger
- The mask is sharp/pointed, another first for super sentai

Okay, so I was right that there are no unique non-helmet details for Shishi Red, Chameleon Green, or Kajiki Yellow. Man, this is going to be a great-looking series.

One thing for sure, given that Sasori Orange's suit actor has the badass department on point folks who want dark and gritty will love him in action.
I for one will definitely gravitate towards Orange, Gold and Blue from what we have been shared so far.
For the heroines based off their Zyuohger roles Washi Pink probably will have a more calm posture as opposed to the possible bubbly antics of Green.

Out of Kyurangers, Sasori Orange will be the Anti-Hero who is NOT goody two shoes and is the most cynical one

After all who doesn't love Anti-Heroes? We hasn't got a proper Anti-Hero Ranger for long time

I wouldnt define him as cynical yet.
He could be just ruthless or militant.
Now Kajiki as Battle France's kid or grandkid?
Possible. :lolol

Am I the only one who thinks Blue skinned and is now wearing the Cookie Monster?

Just me?

Man, these suit are ridiculously good. Which makes me worried honestly. Toei's track record as of late has been "the better the suits, the lesser than average the show ends up being."

One thing for sure no figuarts for this show would be a waste.

So the villain is named Jack Matter I'm sure this joke has been made #JACKLIVESMATTER

suits are VERY Hit and miss for me thus far
I really like the way Red, Orange, Black, and Pink look
I am neutral on Silver, Green, and Yellow
I think Blue and Gold look BAD saddest part for Blue is Take away the fur or at least cut down on it a little bit BLUE LOOKS GREAT also Blue is my favorite color BTW Gold I give them props for trying but the squarish head bothers me but Then again they are literally making a Scale themed hero so Gold star for effort (it at LEAST looks better than Star Ninninger )

I am HOPING they don't add any new rangers down the line 9 IS PLENTY to last the arguably the whole series while I think the idea of some alien heroes some human is dumb(having non human rangers AGIAN so soon) I get the feeling they'll be the most interesting ones character wise I'm looking forward to the Jack Matter Group's designs cause I was LESS than thrilled for Zyuoger's villains(though At that point unless Red wasn't hyperactive we'd give up on Super Sentai) design wise

Anyone else think it's weird we haven't really seen the show-suits or models for any of the Kyuranger mechs yet?

I know we've seen the toys, but I don't think we've seen how the mechs will look in-show. I feel like usually we'd have seen those by now...

Additional details that has been circulating about our heroes supposedly from the Zyuoh vs Ninnin movie pamphlet:

Shishi Red - Lucky
An innocent/naive man with the strongest luck in space since birth. A super-optimist who strongly believes in his luck and does not back away even at a pinch because of that.

Sasori Orange - Stinger
A man from the Scorpio constellation and is known as the galaxy's strongest warrior. Has a cool attitude, is very prideful, and is a lone wolf who hates socializing with others.

Ohkami Blue - Garu
A beastman skilled in primal attacks and speed. His intelligence is not that high. Although very short-tempered, he is reliable in combat.

Tenbin Gold - Balance
A mechanical lifeform who has been working with Naga Rei as a heroic outlaw. He is affable and flirtatious, and is highly sustainable.

Oushi Black - Champ
A robot with superhuman strength who is cheerful and aggressive. He is tough, hot-blooded, and hates unethical things.

Hebitsukai Silver - Naga Rei
By default he does not expresses himself and all of his actions are all based on rationality. He has been working together with Balance/Tenbin Gold as heroic outlaws in space.

Chameleon Green - Hami
A very bright and curious girl. Although she has high aspirations, as a youngster she is not good at controlling her emotions. She masters ninjutsu.

Washi Pink - Raptor 283
An android who pilots the Kyuranger mothership Orion. Although very sincere and focused on the mission, she can be habitually delusional.

Kajiki Yellow - Spada
A man who has been adventuring here and there to be the number one cook throughout space. His vast knowledge accumulated during his long trek in space makes him a reliable asset.

*Side note*
- That jacket Raptor wears seems like it will be the civilian uniform for the team(Champ has it hanging on one of his shoulders like a matador cape if you look at his pic that was released not too long ago).

Ok!!! If/Whenever they decide to sell coats, let me know!! I'm deciding right now between Green, Blacck, and Orange. Why am I deciding right, you ask? That way I have time to waver in my decision and change my mind as many times as I want until the time comes. :lol (Tha is if the time comes.)

BTW off topic, where did you get the PNG images of those Kyuranger? I want one for Hebitsukai Silver.

As in the uniform jacket I mentioned?
Off topic I have a feeling we will have an episode where Raptor will doze off and do something like set the mothership Orion towards the sun on cruise control. :lolol
Also I have a feeling Stinger will be everyone's favorite if written right.

I have this image via the courtesy of our very own Ryoucchi.
Yes, the uniform jacket. I want one. I want one reeeeally bad.
