Bright and happy are the things that are going to sale. I wouldn't even be surprised if we don't see another black ranger until after next year; if we couldn't get one with a ninja sentai, then they may be moving away from using that color for anything other than the bad guys.

Bright, colorful, loud, and exciting are the way things are right now. Nothing wrong with it.

Nah thats really not the reason at all.

Go-Busters didnt fail with kids because it was "dark". Remember that shows like Shinkenger and Gekiranger were also pretty dark for recent sentais and also dealt with the death of parents and those shows didnt bomb as hard as Go-Busters did.

The problem Go-Busters had was that just like Ohranger back in the 90s just became too real. Go-Busters aired one year after one of the most devastating earthquakes japan ever witnessed. So the creators wanted to do a show that would give the japanese and most of all the children strength to go on. Problem though is alot of children has lost a parent or both parents during the earthquake and even if the show had good intentions no five year old wants to be remembere every sunday morning when they watch Sentai that there parents are gone and will never be coming back.
Go-Busters didnt just have low ratings it had extremely low ratings with kids and this more than likely stems from this. Kids didnt like Go-Busters because it constantly remined them of their parents being dead.

And yeah the black Ranger thing has nothing to do with it. We had a black Ranger in Kyoryuger and that show was bright and colorful to the extreme.
