I dunno if you can really "reboot" something that restarts with a new story and tone each year.
Toei definitely wanted Go-Busters to be a new beginning. They talked about it being the first spy Sentai since Goranger and, because of that, they wanted it to be a "new beginning" for the Sentai franchise. I tihnk the visuals and tone of the series probably would have continued on to other Sentai shows if it had actually succeeded instead of kinda just being a dud. My biggest regret with Go-Busters not really performing is that we'll never really see some of the more intense Sentai designs using the really sleek material Go-Busters used in their suits. |

Ya know, Sentai's treatment of its mecha kind of baffles me. Mecha are probably the most important part of a Sentai toyline, save for maybe the DX Line. Despite this, they usually don't put all that much effort into making them unique or special compared to the mecha that came before, especially when it comes to battles. Its always the same battles almost every week. Say what you will about Go Busters as a show, you can't argue with the fact that it at least made an effort to do something different with its mecha battles. I understand that doing interesting and unique stuff often costs more money but if you can't even bother to put a little extra money toward such an important part of your toyline, what can you put that money towards?

From my experience it's a mix of people who hate it for being wacky and stupid, and people who like it for the exact same reasons. Naturally I'm in the latter group.
It's basically a less genuinely clever Carranger with the absurdity cranked up to infinity in an attempt to compensate. Which might sound like an insult, but A. few things are as clever as Carranger, and B. Go-Onger is loads of fun if you're in the right mood.

I may have only seen Geki, Abare, Zyuoh and currently Kyuranger...
But this is a turn off for the Sentai fans? Sentai's ALWAYS been wacky! Shit, Go-Onger's going on the backlog now!

Personally, I didn't enjoy Go-Onger because I wasn't fond of the cast, other than Tokuyama as the 6th Ranger, and even then I felt him to be hugely wasted in the series. On top of that, I didn't care for the characters, I could never connect with them and it made enjoying the series and caring about them difficult. As far as what I look for in comedy, Go-Onger most definitely was not it. There are a lot of comedy heavy tokusatsu shows that did comedy much better (the aforementioned Carranger, Ryukendo, heck, even Keitai Sosakan 7 had some clever comedy). |

Comedy isn't a blanket term though. There are different forms of comedy out there and some Sentai handle them a lot better than others. On top of this, yes, it's Sentai, cool, so what? A lot of Sentai shows balance their tones pretty well.

In the same show, an anime character's son is kidnapped and asks the Rangers to help him out. Sentai's ALWAYS had stupid shit regardless if the tone from my experience. Gekiranger had Jan using a cleaning rag to win a fight for example

Abaranger's main villain raped Abare Black's lover. This isn't even out of context

Jan using the rags to fight isn't as weird as you might think. Like, there are instructors out there who will teach you how to defend yourself using something like a towel or a scarf. |

Does anybody know why Toei decided to exclude Goranger and JAKQ from the Super Sentai series prior to Ohranger and why they decided to re-include them retroactively?
