So yes, this year Sentai was stronger than Kamen Rider.



So far, the only time Sentai was almost cancelled was when Carranger was on air. After the major problems Ohranger had, Carranger was supposed to be Sentai's farewell but it saved the franchise instead.

Gokaiger was supposed to be the last Sentai in the classic style. Actually, they wanted to keep making shows like Go-Busters after that, but due to Go-Busters failing, they went back to the old concepts.



Sadly, the S.H. Figuarts for Sentai only sold okay when Akibaranger was on air. I think the last ones they made were Sun Vulcan?
The problem is that Sentai is more of a kids' franchise and there's not many adult fans buying those, unlike with Kamen Rider, which is more popular in all age groups.
However, Sentai's success is determined by the main toyline, which are the items for children. And as long as those work and the ratings are okay, Sentai will be safe.

I really appreciate your insight on all of your answers. Sun Vulcan was the latest figuarts that they did and I hope they continue doing more or at least completing the teams they didn't finish yet.

What is your take on that? Do you think they will finish any of the uncompleted teams in the SH Figuarts line? I certainly hope so but it may just be just hopeful/wishful thinking.

Kamen rider is certainly pretty awesome, the only kamen rider series I've watched was the wizard ark. Also, a pleasant surprise is that they make quite a lot of kamen rider figuarts!

All in all, I'm glad that the sentai series looks pretty healthy despite the "almost" cancels like you mentioned before. Made me scared for the future of sentai since a lot of us here grew up with them.
