What Metal Heroes was popular outside Japan tot the point it deserves a remake?

>>23811323
Earlier entries were very popular in Brazil. Also France and SEA.
Gavan, Sharivan, Shaider, Juspion, Metalder, Spielvan, Jiraya and Jiban were all hits. France had Gavan and Sharivan as X-OR and X-OR 02.

>>23811327
If it's those Spanish/Portugese speaking nations then basically every Showa series in any genre is popular but they also don't even seem to watch new stuff.

I dunno if it's just MMPR nostalgia but I still think Zyuranger is a pretty solid series. It's only problem is that it's sandwiched between two top tier sentais.

Kind of similar to Goseiger's problem now that I think about it.

>>23811660
Zyuranger's immediate issue is that it's sandwiched between two good series. Its long-term issue is that it's pretty sterile and everything good that it does is done leagues better by Gingaman.

>>23811693
You ARE going to her fan meet this Saturday, right, anon?

>>23811336
There's a few factors for that.
Primarily for South America, it's the fact that most of the kids and teens that watched those shows are in their 50s now, and after they stopped airing Metal Heroes, they also stopped Sentai, and the only Rider show was Black. So when they stop airing those in the 90s, the tokusatsu genre may as well have died to them, because it was not feasible to look up information or subs on what Japan had in 1992 there. Or they pivoted into MMPR nostalgia, and exclusively buy/watch MMPR with a dose of "back in my day Metal Heroes was the best thing ever".
The secondary factor is that even if you look at the younger side of the viewers, like the ones that came in on Jiraya, most of the population also doesn't know English, doesn't do much online, and doesn't know how to download anything. So they're not a 57 year old sipping cheap alcohol saying Juspion was the peak of television, but they're 39 and haven't downloaded anything that isn't an MP3 file.
Couple that with the usual prejudice against newer seasons that don't have the "Showa-era grit", and even the ones that know English, know how to download, and could download subbed episodes will refuse to do so because it "isn't the same". Which is the point. But they don't really get it.
They will absolutely nostalgiafag and splurge on any merch for those shows, though.
For SEA they got way more shows than South America or some parts of Europe did, and they do watch recent stuff, they just don't have the capital to buy any of it.

tl;dr A 54 year old boomer that likes Die Hard is most likely not going to clap watching Ninninger or Gotchard.

>>23811660
The special effects in Zyuranger are unironically one of Sentai's best and Beldora is an extremely entertaining antagonist
The problem with Zyuranger is that it has the same issue as shows like Zenkaiger or Gozyuger where the red gets way too much focus to the point the rest of team get barely developed and very few focus episodes, hell I think Black doesn't even get an episode of his own until the 20s

>>23811660
>problem is that it's sandwiched between two top tier sentais.
But Dairanger's finale is one of Sentai's worst? I still liked most of the show but the last 10 episodes or so are very mediocre with the whole blsck dragon arc and the ending being really dumb retroactively making the arcs of Kujaku and the mentor pointless

>>23811743
Finale doesn't represent the entire show.

>>23811743
10 episodes being mediocre is still overwhelmingly better than 50 episodes being mediocre

>>23811750
Sadly this applies to Ryusoulger on the opposite, amazing set of finale but not enough to redeem the show.

>>23811660
Honestly one thing I loved about Zyuranger was the monsters. It's interesting to see world mythology through a Japanese lens.

Probably why I like FF so much.

It's a finale that makes earlier moments in the show worse when looked back

>>23811759
I know, that's why I said I liked most of the show, but aside the choreography I really wouldn't consider it a top-tier Sentai that said I guess the finale is more divisive than straight up bad, while I hated I decided to look back in desu and it seems that a considerable amount of people loved the finale from a philosophical stand point

I've never seen Power Rangers so I feel nothing about this but a writer of Mighty Morphin passed away https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2026-04-08/power-rangers-screenwriter-arne-olsen-dies-at-64/.236226

>>23811660
I zyuranger didn’t have burai or the huge leap mecha designs it would be forgotten and kept in the mediocre pile like goseiger

>>23811836
It's definitely notable in that regard. Being the first season to feature a sixth ranger(unless we count X1 Mask).

I think the Jetman manga experimented with the idea. So you could tell they wanted to do this for a while.

Also, first dinosaur sentai, the big moneymakers.

>>23810840
You know how there are two heavily insulting things about this show?
One, it's about how there's only ever one Emons costume on-screen, and the moment we see multiple Emons at once, they are hastily edited in through Photoshop.
And b, how no other Gavan besides Infinity, Raiya and Death are capable of appearing between dimensions. What is stopping them from making the other Gavans travelling between dimensions anyway? Is Emorgy poisoning that hard to achieve between Setsuna and Kiki?

>>23811844
The Jetman manga had Green Eagle IIRC

>>23811844
>>23811860
X1 Mask was more like a guest of the week, Jetman manga was released on 1996 so Dragonranger still predated Green Eagle.

>>23811848
>Raiya
When was it confirmed that he can hop? But yeah Death somehow got the ability to hop and his run in with Reiji also gave him the ability to wistand the dimension hopping so the other can't travel
But that isn't really an issue, the show is meant to feel like 3 different shows after all, the problem with the show is the execution of the motw format which so far is really basic and it pretty much feels like Tomioka lied when he said that the show would imitate old cop dramas yet unlike Dekaranger which used multiple enemies in a single episode to create legitimately interesting cop cases or at least use them as action props that happen around the focus case like OG Gavan they just straight use the in the most basic way a toku would
On top of that due to the whole taking turn on focus episodes they show has barely made proper use of dimension hopping, this wouldn't be much of an issue since the plot is progressing but everything indicates that this will be a 23 episode show, so ultimately these two elements combined makes the premise feel like a massive waste

>>23811872
Since his actor's announcement. If they wanted to keep the three-in-one style, they have to make Raiya a dimension hopper. In fact, being part of the Interstellar Intelligence Division means he has to witness the changes of other worlds up close, so of course he has to have that ability too.

>>23811848
You're focusing too much on the Emon suits when you should be looking into the face villain of the week and that there's someone pulling the strings behind Death Gavan.
>>23811872
I'm pretty sure the bad guy plot will continue into the next show. The show will most likely kick into high gear after Raiya debuts.

Dragonranger basically is just the first proper member to go over 5, even if he was basically just an arc character. But frankly the idea of additional members with their own unique mechs coming in was initially done by Black Bison and Green Sai in Liveman. And frankly most 6ths tend to follow their style than they do Burai.

>>23811894
>I'm pretty sure the bad guy plot will continue into the next show
But that still doesn't really fix the motw (or I guess villains of the week since they aren't kaijin) good, they're too basic for an interdimensional cop premise, I don't even get why because Tomioka has made interesting cases of the week for other kodomo shows before and most of the episode writers are ex-Sunrise staff but it feels as if only Yamaguchi is trying to implement the cases of the week in an interesting way
But I guess the show kicking into full plot with the next episode which is being written by Tomioka to focus on Raiya and Death is definitely going to be better than what we're getting, it's just disappointing that the Tomioka interview sort of painted this show as a Dekaranger 2

>>23811909
You're focusing on the Emons suit way too much. Not even kids care and the second show will most likely have something else unless the Emorgear plotline continues which is probably also why Infinity will be around. Also, it's your own fault for assuming this would be Dekaranger 2. Are they playing it safe? Yes. Can't blow your load early. Things will start to kick in after Raiya and into the next show.

>>23811919
>Emons suit way too much
Anon I'm not >>23811848 and didn't even mention the Emons I'm talking about the villains, most of the being uninteresting isn't the same as playing it safe, while not the same as Dekaranger which is experimental you can look at Kiramager or even early Boonboomger by the same writer team for safe enemies that still managed to be fun
Ultimately with Infinity only the episodes written by Yamaguchi manage to write a premise around the villain interesting enough to compensate and the Tomioka episodes that progress the plot in interesting ways
Also can you blame me for the Dekaranger thing? Tomioka straight up said he wanted Gavan Infinity to feel like Seibu Keisatsu era cop drama yet so far it doesn't feel anything close to that, it's the pre-series KR Wizard interview all over again which makes me question if they somehow had production issues like Wizard

>>23811928
It's probably production issues and didn't Shirakura say that the "true strength" of Project RED would be seen with the second show?
>Also can you blame me for the Dekaranger thing?
Yes, I will blame you. It's better to jump into these kind of shows with no expectations.

>>23811903
I love Black Bison and Green Sai's designs so much, its a shame their characters are boring as hell

>>23811934
>"true strength" of Project RED would be seen with the second show?
Yeah he said that he expects people to see the true potential of the franchise with the second and third entries due to the whole "interconnected worldview gimmick", he also talked as if Project R.E.D has at least 5 entries secured but the leakers said that they only actually have 3 entries secured
>Yes, I will blame you
Fair enough but it's still false advertising by the writer

>>23811946
Green Sai has one of the most amusingly insane character episodes in the franchise. I've gotten reactions out of people by pointing out the guy who wrote the episode wrote the Onimusha games and Resident Evil: Code Veronica.

>>23811957
Probably 3 secured if it fails. 5 if it does well.
Name of the second show should be dropping really soon.

>>23811965
Kuji talked as if he was making a year long show which makes me wonder if the second show will be made by the same staff
It will probably be a Winspector reboot if the rescue theme rumor turns out to be true

>>23811818
Yep, she likes double penetration

>>23811957
They have 5 currently, 3 just had draft sketches available that leakers saw, 4 and 5 are still in name only no visual concept

>>23811872
Because Raiya is the equivalent to a sentai sixth and the extra hero is always billed as the second main character who can pretty much do whatever red can

>>23811972
The second show (post episode 23 of Infinity) will most likely be done by the same staff. It's just a MC focus change to the new hero/nuWinspector.

Uyoku Sentai Chudranger VS Kakushin Sentai Wokeranger

Was looking through credits and jesus I can't believe just how many producers got transferred due to Kyuranger and Ninninger flopping

>>23811990
Its funny because kyuranger was the only one to carry ninnin and lupat on its back
During the mid 2010’s zyuohger held its own though

>>23812013
No? It got anniversary marketing, barely sold more than Ninninger and had worse ratings. Zyuohger was liked here, but it wasn't really a success. It's likely why Ushiromiya got moved after LuPat flopped even harder. People here act like he got punished for a single mistake, but Zyuohger itself was about as big a failure as Ninninger.

>>23812027
>Ushiromiya

Utsunomiya.

>>23812027
Bandai internally projected Kyuranger higher than any of the other post Toq sentai if it had been given normal projections it would have a success.
Kyu was 9.3 billion where everyone else was 8 or below. It notably carried the post ToQ years.

>>23811660
Goseiger was lucky to not fail harder seeing how shit the angel theme and the toy line up was, not to forget the yakuza accusations.

>>23812040
Because go-on and shinkenger built the audience for it and did the heavy lifting. Then before people could leave Gokai became the miracle show

>>23812013
Didn't Kyuranger go overbudget which was why despite the show earning 0.6 billions than the required minimum at the time it was still deemed a failure resulting in its producer Mochizuki getting demoted?

>>23812040
Goseiger had the launch of a tie-in arcade game with Legend Sentai cards. They just didn't advertise the Legend cards aspect in the tv show and then the game died a few years later.

>>23812054
What we know is that it came bellow projections in spite of the boost compared to surrounding years. It did have more Ranger suits than other series, but also had a surprisingly small number of monster of the week suits compared to other shows around it. Often reusing the same generic stronger grunt in the first half and for the 2nd half of the show most monsters were modified versions of suits of monsters from the first half while also still having episodes without them.

That said, Mochizuki's "punishment" was rather minor. He was a secondary producer again for projects under veteran producers like Kiramager and some non-toku stuff, then right afterwards got Revice. It was Revice's production issues (not related to sales/performance) that then got him actually permanently moved away from Toku, several years with no producer credit at all (not even secondary).

>>23812059
Iirc he got transferred to the stage show division, but his first stage show ended up being so controversial that he demoted further then temporarily transferred to TV-Asahi and he's now been transferred bsck to Toei but isn't working on toku

Goseiger had an arcade tie in game with an entire mascot character that’s a walking talking arcade machine.
The really funny thing is that the game didn’t last a full 5 years before getting canned and iirc it’s the only mech that the PR version didn’t adapt for some reason.

I'm relatively new to Sentai but I've seen Kiramager and currently finishing up Go-Onger.
I find Mager was a really standard season albeit not with much special. Solid fun episode plots with some creative kaijin and Garza was a good main villain.
Mainly what I'm liking in Go-Onger is Go-On Wings. I prefer Extra Heroes that are more aloof or standoffish even after they join while a lot of Sentai Sixths play very friendly but Wings maintain a decent amount of distance for my taste. [I plan on watching Abaranger after Go-Onger since I've heard good things about Abarekiller].
Also if you like the robots being sentient and interacting with the team, both Mager and Go-Onger have a lot of that.
Have not seen Goseiger.

I mean it's pretty solid. The Emogears are basically just Gochizou but worse, the secondary ones barely appear after they're used once. It really does feel like the only thing that's truly selling is the Gavarion Trigger and currently the legend Metal Hero Emorgear you can get from gachapon.

>>23814593
Oh look, no one's favorite character.

>>23814601
>Girls, please... you can share me.

>>23814527
>5
This one hits right on the spot, despite the multiple weapons, the Gavan used the Gavarion Blade more than them, which is understandable given they are the laser blades, but you'd think the Blade being a retooled Zanglassword is because they want to give the new weapons more focus, look at how Gozyuger makes them the signature weapon of the Gozyugers. Luminous is described as analysing so she can utilize the perfect situational weapon, for why now make her spam the weapons whereas Bushido would stick to the Blades and Infinity balances it out?

>6
Continuing from the number 5's issue of the weapons having little screen time, their usage in the mecha is really weird. Sentai would always make a formula that when they use different armament it would be to finish the opponents, but I barely remember if Cosmo Gavarion utilize any finishers. You could say they don't want to imitate Sentai to sell that this is a different thing, but they succeeded, poorly.

>>23814589
I think that due to not having form changes it forces the Emolgear to function more similarly to Zyudenchi, but the more goofy abilities that the Zyudenchi had which made them stand out wouldn't match with the more "cool" tone that Gavan Infinity is aiming for. Like you don't have to enjoy the stuff like farting and inflating powers but you can't deny they were certainly memorable.
I do like the theme of emotions and Emotional Burst is an interesting gimmick but not one that is very "visual." Though on the subject of Zyudenchi there were ones like the "love" or "dizzy" ones that had similar ideas to Emotional Burst but were given more attention within the action sequences. It's sort of like Gavan Infinity has been using Emotional Burst strictly as a Crowd Control power where all of them basically feel the same. Like, "they get infatuated and stop fighting," "they get bored and stop fighting," "they get depressed and stop fighting," "they get anxious and stop fighting."

>>23814714

It's just unfocused. When you look at something like Kuuga, that show is almost as much about Kuuga as it is about Godai or Grongi, but sometimes Toei's shows seem disinterested in incorporating their toy systems into the story which results in them feeling dramatically bland. Infinity feels like it's going for quantity over quality, there's all these Gavans, there's the robots with one-off attachments, there's indistinguishable Emorgears that feel like they should be more of a character themselves. Honestly, it just feels like a template Toei toku which is inexcusable for a franchise launch. When you watch Kuuga you really can tell there's an all hands on deck attempt to go "Behold world, this is Kamen Rider!" But Infinity? Besides pretty decent action scenes, it doesn't know what it wants to be. I've already complained about breakneck pacing when it comes to characters in these threads but it applies to setting, too. What's the point of introducing multiple universes when they're basically just all the same? If you don't have money to properly portray them just don't bother. What's the point of having Makuu Space when it just bloats the concepts with something unnecessary, just because it's Gavan?

This applies to modern Kamen Rider too by the way but most of the time the writing quality kind of carries (like in Build) it anyway, here the writing isn't there either it's just more generic nonsense. "I've been angry for so long" and he's the nicest fucking guy around. Put in more effort next time.

You faggots hate everything.

I enjoyed Gozyuger all the way through so yeah but I still hope Akiko doesn't write any Project R.E.D projects, her writing style just works far better for Kamen Rider
But so far I'm enjoying Gavan Infinity overall, it just hasn't wowed me aside from the 2 Yamaguchi episodes, even the Gavan Death episode despite really liking backstory I still couldn't bring myself to care about the nerd, usually I would happy about show becoming serialized and I'm sure the show will improve because of it but I feel like they could have exploited this premise far more for episodic storylines

>I still hope Akiko doesn't write any Project R.E.D projects, her writing style just works far better for Kamen Rider
Just like how Komura's writing worked for Kamen Rider, amirte?

>>23815028
yeah it's not like Gavv is the most well received Reiwa Rider literally everywhere including here

>>23815028
>>23815036

The part people actually complain about wasn't even Komura's fault, since the Stomach were supposed to be killed midway through in her story. That's why it feels like their presence gets really stretched out with them doing nothing in the middle of the show.

It was Takebe that liked the cast so much she didn't want the show to move on from them.

>>23815028
Yeah Gavv is pretty much the best Reiwa show so far because it's the lost consistently good one while still landing most of its ideas
Komura's writing works perfectly for Rider honestly and I'm baffled she was hired for 5 team-based shows before she could finally handle a non-team based hero show as a solo writer like this, even more baffling because the entire reason Komura became a writer in the first place was because she was a Super Sentai fan

>>23815044
To be fair it's bad that Komura couldn't adapt or have the episode writers expand the villains but it's still mostly Takebe's fault because most of her changes are done really last minute, Takebe is known as the most irresponsible Toei producer for a reason but I can deny she somehow still brings results usually against all odds due to sheer dumb luck

>>23815004
>I still hope Akiko doesn't write any Project R.E.D projects, her writing style just works far better for Kamen Rider
But Gavan Infinity feels like a Kamen Rider show.

>>23814928
It's actually a cool premise for a new Akibaranger season.
>Akagi wakes up, his death in Season 2 is just a dream, but he wakes up in the world where Sentai is on hiatus

>>23815085
It is kinda perfect.

>>23815084
Not really, it feels like its own toku that borrows a bit of Sentai and Space Sheriff
But also even if you were right Komura simply wouldn't be able to make 3-show gimmick Kuji is going for with Gavan because she would shaft such a big cast
I get that some project R.E.D shows could be solo heroes instead of multiple like one based on Zubat theoretically but I assume that even when they won't be team based like Gavan they'll still get more heroes than Rider to avoid overlap, it's just far safer to have Akiko and Komura stick to Rider

>>23815085
>>23815088
Would be kino and Arakawa is probably willing, I assume the biggest complication is that Hikasa is soft retired right now but I feel like Tsukada could make a new season just fine

>>23814708
I hate how Sentai ended on this piece of garbage.

>>23815100
the show was good though pretty much every main character and villain were likeable plus the universe senshi were really solid cotw
the problems were how underutilized the rangers were aside from leon and wolf just like how in zenkaiger the 4 kikanoids were underutilized, the worldview being severely underexplained and whenever it did get explanations it was rushed the lastly the editing issues with unicorn
if you watch the show on a vacuum instead of seeing as the last sentai show it's pretty good

It wasn’t. The plot falls apart if you think too hard about it.
There’s a whole host of issues like the three main plot points being completely unrelated to each other, Universe Senshi getting off screened like fodder, etc

two villains only because of the actors performance and not the character writing.

>I still hope Akiko doesn't write any Project R.E.D projects, her writing style just works far better for Kamen Rider
I don't think her writing works for anything, but she's only had one main writing credit and it was an anniversary season, so it's a bit unfair to judge her based off of that. That said, I did not enjoy just about any of Gozyuger and don't think the way she wrote it would work for Rider or R.E.D., so I'd prefer she go somewhere else. Maybe get some PA Works original anime before going back to toku.
>>23815147
The villains were likable but everything else was bad. Good characters can only carry a show so much, and Gozyuger had problems every corner. "This show is good if you ignore everything bad about it" can be said about any show ever. But it's not like it was completely unenjoyable, it had some moments, they were just rare and the rest of the show was mostly bad.

>>23817277
>so it's a bit unfair to judge her based off of that
She's done novels, they're decent but they also have the same "let's give all the focus to the protagonist" issue, it's why when Gozyuger's staff was announced anons said their fear was that this would feel like Komura's Sentai in terms of focus

>>23817146
>Why not take the time and make your own Sentai concept and show Toei the love is still there? The hiatus has plenty of people on social media doing the same following the contest from Gozyu.
Do you have some good examples to share?

>>23816699
> Japan liked the show though
Not enough to keep the franchise afloat.
We would be on the 51st Sentai right now if they did

>>23817286
I'm not counting the novels because those are novel adaptations/sequels/follow-ups to existing works. It's (to me) unfair to judge her based off how she wrote something that already existed. That's why I mentioned a PA Works original anime, that would give her more freedom, and she already has experience with screenplay for anime. In theory, that would let her write an original story with original characters and that would be a better judge of her writing quality than an anniversary season for a franchise she never watched.

>>23817510
The decision to end the franchise was done before the show even aired according to interviews, it's pretty much impossible to keep afloat a franchise that has been a financial failure for 10 years in a row
Luckily it ending will make people appreciate Sentai more for when it returns 4 to 9 years from now, the issue is that Bandai hasn't learnt their lesson yet

The only "can get away from Power Rangers contract" effect so far is the official uploads of the soundtracks can include the character in the cover instead of just the title like Sentai.
