Super Sentai General Questions

Why don't we all just ignore lima until they either learn how to type like a normal person or just leave? Its near impossible to understand half of what they say.

Am I the only one who is concerned that sentai has been aiming at a younger and younger audience? They seem to be aiming at toddlers right now with lupinranger, from what I saw in episode one. I miss the old school red rangers and darkness from the 90s rangers

Yes. The old school rangers, like the team of puppet Fivemen. The old school reds, like VulEagle I, who was so dull and interesting that he was basically just a cardboard cutout of a ranger. Or the "Darkness" of the 90's, like when NinjaYellow was grown giant because he ate too much, and NinjaWhite had to transform into a hamburger to try and stop him from eating.

Sentai was so much more mature back then.

Lupin vs Pat is a solid series, and the idea that it's aimed at toddlers is just asinine.

The target audience for Sentai has always been little kids and that isn't a bad thing at all.

LvP has had some surprisingly dark moments which you miss if you blink, implications of the monster of the week already having murdered some people, human trafficking and organ harvesting having been mentioned as something that the current Gangler already did, etc. So saying LvP specifically when it had a better time slot to get away with stuff like that really bites you

We're not their target audience in the slightest so I find it kinda weird to complain about that
I've been enjoying Lupin vs. Pat pretty casually; I was a bit annoyed at how Kamen Rider had far superior plots and characterisation rn but honestly, Sentai's more casual approach has been the perfect supplement to things as all-in as Gaim and Build. Just a nice fun relaxing time compared to industrialisation destroying the world

Matrix, chill. I never mentioned maturity at all and you might have misunderstood me about the darkness bit.

I meant ACTUAL darkness. The shows are a lot brighter now and I don't quite know why I enjoy that, but I do.

Sun Vulcan is a bad show. I feel that constantly dragging up the fact Sun Vulcan was so bad is in poor taste as it is a dead horse.

Also, notice how I said that I have only seen the first episode; I was wondering if my first impressions on it were incorrect or if anyone else had similiar feelings.

Sentai is not and never will be aimed at us; That still doesn't mean that they have not changed their target demographic.

Ehh, I was thinking more J-dramas, movies, and anime, that sorta stuff.

Reason I asked was cause I recently saw an episode of some J-drama called HIGH & LOW where Gokai Blue was a gangster. Any anime that comes to mind with Champ's actor in it? That could work within the confinements of the question.

One of those a Steven Seagal movie by any chance? I remember reading that he had a small role in a Seagal movie.

IIRC he played a high school student in the episode, hilariously.

Ah, yes, I remember hearing about that.

Yes, the leader-looking guy with the bandana is Gokai Blue btw.

Apparently one of his lackeys is played by Enter from Go-Busters.

Total or relative to the amount of toys produced?
