Found Go-Bust v Go-Bust on Youtube, watching it today and solely because of that Dark Go-Red design.

I love it.

Actually it isn't dark anything. If you're talking about the black one that's commander Kuroki as Black Puma. The replacement 6th ranger after Green Hippopotamus bites it

In reality his actor has lived in Japan for most of his life and speaks VERY fluently. Do some research before you complain next time.

Research is not going to make him act better. I don't care if he lives in Japan. I don't care if he is doing that on purpose. I only care how i see him act in the show because that is all that matters to me. And I haven't paid much attention to Kyoryuger discussions.

It's like someone telling me Arnold got the role of Conan for being a body builder. Big deal, he sucks as Conan because he did not have the character down. I don't care the reasons why he did it that way, he didn't do the character correctly, and that is all that matters.

You really are missing the entire point here. Ramires does have the character down.

THE CHARACTER DOESN'T SPEAK JAPANESE AS A FIRST LANGUAGE.

He's acting that way because they want him to play a character who doesn't normally speak Japanese. Your complaint is entirely irrelevant and pointless when the defining trait of the character is the fact that he's foreign.

I don't think you get it.
His bad acting? That's the joke. He's supposed to be a non-Japanese character, despite being a Japanese man.

His lines being stilted and badly delivered? That's intentional on the actor's part, because he's acting.

He's doing the character correctly because the point of the character is that he's not native.

If you mean ethnicity, Robert Baldwin is Caucasian, not Japanese. Otherwise, he's a Canadian born in Japan. Either way, I agree the bad Japanese is intentional as that's the character and the joke.

According to the PR Wiki, he's Japanese-Canadian. I'd be willing to believe he's a full Canadian who lives in Japan, but I can't find something to the contrary to say he's not partial Japanese.

I didn't know where to post this question.. So it's going here.

Why do they start the seasons of Kamen Rider and Super Sentai at different times? Wouldn't it make more sense from a marketing standpoint to start and end them together?

They did start and end around the same time until 2009. Toei made Decade end with 31 episodes so they could start doing KR series in Sept to cash in on Xmas since shows that started in Jan/Feb usually did not have their merchandise out until after Xmas.

They used to air concurrently, but Decade broke that cycle by having only 30 episodes.

I'm pretty positive Dr. Kain hit the nail on the head, to have toys on the shelves for holidays.
