Tokkyuger doesn't seem especially light though, it's somewhat comedic. It's still got all of the little set ups for potential plot advancements - them being dead, why they don't have memories, the marriage plot with the villains. Kobayashi (the writer, same lady who wrote Go-Busters) tends to pack her shows with plot. That said, her shows will sometimes hit brick walls where nothing much happens for long spans of episodes. I think Go-Busters avoided that just thanks to the pure spectacle of all the behind the scenes problems that show was having.

Well, in terms of a normal for sentai, Super Sentai has been following a five year formula:

The big anniversary season, goes big, and does something others Sentais might not really do, due to budget. (Gaoranger,Boukenger,Gokaiger)

The year after tries something new and starts with a three man ranger team in the blue, yellow, and red color schemes.(Hurricanger,Gekiranger,Go-Busters)

The third year is usually a more light hearted season/comedic/energetic/a little crazy.(Abaranger,Go-Onger,Kyoryuger)

The fourth year is "darker" in tone(Dekaranger,Shinkenger,ToQger might break the rule)

The fifth year is magical.(Magiranger,Goseiger)

I got this info, from one of the Onyx Tavern's podcasts last year, before the original channel was deleted.
