I would rather discuss it here: https://www.tokunation.com/forums/sh...26302&page=140
I think 50 years of history will keep this topic alive. I'm sure sooner or later someone will want to share their thoughts on Gingaman, for example. But whether Project Red needs a separate thread remains to be seen.Especially considering that he already automatically received separate themes for episodes, which neither Ultraman, nor Garo, nor even Dogengers were awarded.

I had that thought too, but since Project R.E.D. seems to be the successor to Sentai moving forward, it feels more important than just "other" - it's already one of the big three. Metal Heroes not having one makes sense because it wasn't ongoing. And honestly...I have a feeling we'll get Sentai seasons again, they'll just fall under the larger Project R.E.D. banner.

BUT for now, I think what you said makes the most sense. It's really just a sequel to an old Metal Heroes at this point. Interesting how Gavan was what replaced Rider in the 90s and is now what will replace Sentai. It's all over the place haha

Which has me wondering what the average Taro Tanaka who grew up on Metal Heroes since, let's go with Jiban, thought when he heard Metal Heroes is ending and he has to watch Kamen Rider as of 2000.

Probably something like, "Tetsuo Kurata is back in the lead role?" and "I wonder how long Kamen Riders will last this time?" But I think Toei tried to make sure the transition was met with enthusiasm. Although Kabutack has its fans, too. The Chinese special of 2025 is proof of this.
