Forgive me but I'm not gonna bother posting my least favorite series. It's too tiring to be negative ya know.

Uhhhh I doubt they 'didn't bother bringing the actors back'. It's clear they were driven into corner. At the time Toei didn't have enough money or influence or whatever to secure that many actors, keep in mind Decade is what ultimately caused crossovers and returns to be normalized. Second, they wanted to bring Kuuga back but Joe Odagiri ain't gonna come back, so they had to settle the idea of AU Riders. Could Shinji Kido or Kagami Arata come back? Definitely but a lot of AU Riders have interesting themes. They may be a hit and miss, but I love the idea of Ryuki Riders being lawyers, Blade Riders being employees with ranking system, etc.

Plus are we forgetting that the Hibiki world is very neaely identical, it's just Asumu and Hibiki are different?

I primarily dislike it because it doesn't feel like Ultraman, it feels more like Kamen Rider. The me from 2008 would have loved this, but with New Generation series proving how Ultraman can shine brighter than before, this one feels trying too hard to be Kamen Rider/Iron Man but slap the Ultraman brand and lore.
