I personally think people are taking "Zenkaiser and Zyuran are regulars" and blowing it out of proportion by saying the next series is Zenkai 2. I think at most it'd be more comparable to like, Ultraseven in Leo or some such. We know it's to establish a "feeling of connection", but I'd bet they're more like side characters and mentors who pop up sometimes and that Donbrothers is more or less as standalone as anything else
Would also just be smarter that way, if it was a full on sequel then that would really alienate anyone trying sentai for the first time, and would probabaly make anyone who didn't enjoy or who skipped zenkaiger mad Last edited by TheJaz; 11-04-2021 at 04:43 PM.. |

Also I just made this connection... Is Zenkaiger doing particularly well sales wise and/or critically? If they're planning on giving Zenkaiser any presence in the next show it makes me think Zenkaiger must be at least pretty popular, right?
Or is Zenkaiger doing average/poorly and this is super weird and random? (I don't normally keep too close an eye on sentai sales, tho I know about the general downward trend it has, so maybe there's a bunch of zenkaiger sales numbers that would answer my question, but I tried googling it and couldn't find anything too helpful lol) |

It could also simply be a thing of trying out a new sales strategy. Unless Zenkaiger was wildly unpopular, they probably feel that if sales are low they may as well take a risk and bring the current heroes forward into the next series to attract sales

Plus with the multiverse aspect of Zenkaiger it almost feels like a a very-soft reboot for Sentai in some ways, so it does feel sort of reasonable to have a connection point between Zenkaiger and DonBrothers, since DonBrothers is essentially going to be the second Sentai in this specific world (assuming they don't make DonBrothers take place in a different world, which I guess they might, I am making some assumption jumps here lol) Quote:
Personally I like Zenkaiger a lot but tbh I haven't been following the episode discussions on here very much so I don't really know how other people are feeling (I'll probabaly check out the thread for the last episode when we get there though) and I never feel like I have a good way to gauge if a toku is doing well in Japan at all tbh lol Actually, is there anything like IMDB but for Japan specifically? I'd be curious to see the scores of different series on smth like that |

But, how can a Changer that uses a version of the Sentai Gears become a bike and then transform into half of a robot? That doesn't make sense.

Gaim, Build, and Saber did it with their bikes so I can see it being a thing. Of course they weren't transformation devices but the idea of a small item that grows in size for another purpose has been done.

I heard it here.
I know. Heck, even the Zenryoku Zenkai Cannon was similar. But this claim seems farfetched. |

Tbh I could see them doing smth like that tho Having the changer be part of the mech line is a good way to get people who want to to buy changers but usualky not the mecha (like me) to consider buying the mecha by getting them to buy smth compatible with the mech toys, and on the other end it'll make it essential to buy the changer for any people who like the mecha but who don't always buy the changers (tho idk how often people buy the mecha but not the changers) From a marketing perspective it seems like a good idea to me? Though conceptually it is slightly odd sounding because of what we're used to from sentai, I think unifying the toy line and focussing it a bit more is proabbaly a wise decision honestly, that would basically take them from having two toy lines ("changers and gimmicks", and "mecha") and condenses it into one consistent toy line, any idea that could potentially reduce purchasing confusing for parents is probabaly a good idea imo (plus it might make the base mecha look like a better value? That'll also help sell it to parents) Last edited by TheJaz; 11-07-2021 at 09:24 PM.. |
