Are Toei Executives Sexists?

What GoseiWonder said. It's just Japan's culture, not Toei in general.

Was that a serious thing?! I thought it was just meant to be a joke... Even if it wasn't, ehhh... Ran never felt like the leader to me. It was like they had no idea what to do with her character and just tried a bunch of different things throughout the show... '^^

Also, isn't it supposed to be Xiafu instead of Shafu?

Ran is the one to keep the team together, after all

It wasn't that serious (Shafu kind of just drops it on them), but I like to take it seriously, since it actually does make sense (She is the heart of the team~)

And Xia Fu is technically correct, but I prefer Shafu since that was the spelling I saw for 50 episodes

I can't believe that a thread like this actually exists. This is a franchise catered to boys so they will of course mainly feature boys getting the new toys etc. Also weren't the episodes with the Female Shinken Red some of the lowest viewed episodes in Shinkenger? Toei and Bandai, like every other company exists to make money and they are doing what will give them the most profit.
