Gosh, those are some sobering figures. Thank you for sharing though, it's fascinating to be able to peak behind the curtain!

I won't say you're wrong, because I imagine this adequately describes a lot of the Heisei era's approach to aesthetics and reasonings, but please note that I making a sour expression about the issue of what constitutes the key themes of a Rider show and its design, lol.

Again, my impressions are somewhat back-to-front, leading to perhaps the accusation that I have not made it to the Heisei era yet, let alone the Reiwa, as I always believed that sentai was a lot more freeform in its formula, whereas Rider was the show that required a specific alignment of concepts to work.

I've never seen Ex-Aid, I'm afraid, save for in passing, so I can't comment on the similarity.

I think a smaller scope would be good. I'd love to see a more affordable, smaller mech/figure line, to be honest—not gacha stuff, but something a bit more detailed.
