Yeah, I can see those D-pads on the boot cuffs. Haven't seen that on a suit since Kininjer's visor.

Please give it 2 episodes minimum before judging. That's what I always do for Sentai and KR.

I do have some hesitancy about what the quality of the CGI will be like, but for main characters in a series where CGI seems to be a big gimmick, I do hope there will be some more time and effort put into the CGI... Though I do hope huge amounts of CGI don't just become more and more of a norm for Toei tokusatsu overall, but that might be a bit of a premature worry lol

I probably shouldn't judge the CGI too much until we see how it'll look in the show

I wasn't expecting the CGI characters to be CGI when morphed as well. But considering the video game motif, maybe it'll make sense somehow. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

But if the Zenkaiger connections are more casual then I'd be happy to see a different writer of course.

Just curious, does anyone else have a particular writer they'd like to see?

I'm with you, Jaz. Komura has indubitably earned the right to be called my favorite Sentai writer, after I totally fell in love with Zyuohger and Zenkaiger. Even though I like LupinPatren a little less, that was more due to production problems and Arakawa not bringing his best as a secondary writer, so I wouldn't deduct any points from Komura for that.

Alternatively, Inoue! Unlikely, but it's nice to dream, right?

Shimo recently wrote Ryusoulger Master's Soul, which stays very true to the spirit of the show and it's this intriguing and dark mystery drama revolving around Master Red, Blue and Pink. I think she has talent for sure.

After her last season?! I would be very apprehensive if she wrote for Sentai ever again.
