Yes, it's clear that Toei hasn't come up with anything new to replace Super Sentai, so they decided to take the successful formula from sister franchise and add a pinch of nostalgia to disguise it. Plus, again, this is only the first episode. I'm sure the writers have a few surprises up their sleeve for the future.

To me, it felt very Kamen Rider but with elements of Super Sentai - color-coded heroes, transforming mech, etc. To me, it's just expanding the limits of a color-coded team with mech format, so I'm excited to see where they go with it.
