More explanations in Toku ?
 

Should toku shows have more specific details and explanations for characters and plots ?

How do you mean? Have you got an example?

Mostly toku shows don't give much details about a character backgrounds like the origin of Psyma family from GoGo-V.

Sometimes, yes. It's why I have very mixed feeling about Ryuki. It never explains how 13 Riders killing each other equals wishes. The rules are completely inconsistent.

I don't think so. One of the things I like most about toku is how it often leaves a lot of background details to the imagination. It simultaneously makes it feel more dreamlike and more real -- like, in reality we rarely learn all the details of any situation, and we have to fill in a lot of blanks with context clues.

I like how Toku tends to focus a lot more on meaning and emotion rather than trying to explain the Mechanical True Logical Realistic Workings of this fantasy world where a dude spins a belt to turn into a clock man

I don't like some people make hypothetical theories and speculate everything. It's sucks.

And I dont like people need be spoon fed everything and cant fill in blanks on own. What's hard about filling in blanks and imagination? Do children who are the target audience give a shit about such petty details? I never met a kid who did.

This!!!

But sometimes they make speculation when they grow up.

Tokusatsu mostly exists to sell toys. You want good plot? Watch Garo.

What's wrong with that?

So for example, if Gaim went into detail about how the fruit first came to be and how each and every rider came to live in Zawame City? Personally while that might be nice on paper, I don't think any lacking of information on the background of the stories takes away the wanting of say Kouta to protect those he cares about, Kaito's lust for power from having lived of a life without it, Michi's constant desire to get out from the shadows of someone else regardless of the method he takes to do it, or Takatora's goal of doing the right thing and saving world despite being caught up in a clearly corrupted organization.

I'm not sure how many people share this opinion, but often in stories it's better to imply rules and details about systems and the world as well as the characters as opposed to going into hours of detail listing it off text book style. Knowing how something first came about or fully works is one thing, but how it effects the story at large is far more important. Sure, I would love to see how the fruit in gaim was first created, but the fact they show that it is a parasite that must be destroyed at all cost is good enough for me. :)

Agito was an incredible show (still might have the best storytelling of any toku, far as I've seen), but I would've loved for more in-show exposition about the Overlord of Darkness and the Lords, frankly.

I would just enjoy the occasional explanation of what the hell is going on. Like the Native's plan in Kabuto.

Not all Toku are made to sell toys because Toku is more than just Kamen Rider and Super Sentai. Also, your show can be a toy commercial and still tell a good story. Just don't treat your audience like idiots because kids are smarter than what people give them credit for.

I don't mind having some reasons for some things happening in a show, but I do think that not everything needs to be explained. Somethings are easy to figure out without telling us why. It is also nice to have some mystery for people talk about as well.

There's a difference between a mystery, and a plan or motive just not making any sense.
Like the entire point of the Gegeru in Kuuga.

Yeah, I still don't really get the point of the Gegeru. So N-Daguva-Zeba wants the Linto to turn evil like the Grongi...which they achieve by killing people....and then step four, profit? I don't get it.

Also, I don't know if I'd hold up Garo as an example of a good toku plot. It's pretty in the middle in terms of plotting, imo. Cool visuals and the occasional boob shot though.
