Some highlights from more of Shirakura's interview with Asahi Shimbun:

- Gavan Infinity is a hard reboot and will not be connected to the original Gavan at all, but will carry over the metallic suit design and battles in hyperspace.

- Giant robot battles will return, in a similar style to Sentai mecha fights.

- Will be a part of a new shared continuity (something else carried over from the Space Sheriff trilogy, though Shirakura doesn't mention this).

- Next year's season, which hasn't been ironed out yet, will drift even further from Sentai conventions.

- It will be aimed at a similar audience to Kamen Rider.

It definitely sounds like Gavan Infinity was designed with the intention of easing Sentai fans into a new series by keeping some similarities. I wonder if the giant mech battles are something they plan to keep around, of it it is one of those Sentai traits they intend to "drift even further from" in the subsequent shows. Also interesting they are aiming for a similar audience to Kamen Rider, so I guess it's aimed a bit older. As long as the two series are different enough it should be fine, but I can't help but worry one will cannabalize the audience of the other if they are too close in style.
