Hurricanger got a after 10yr special Kyoryuger is gonna get the after 100 special
Gimme my Gokaiger special damn it....where we get introdouced to like Gokai Gold just to keep with the pirate motif lol.
Atleast Gokai blue is making a return for Toei Hero Next whether or not he is playing Joe is still anyones guess but considering it will be tied to the Kyoryuger story I would assume he will be so.

Just finished BRAVE FINALE. one word.....EPIC. I know cliche way to describe it but damn it thats what it was I gotta rank these last 4 episodes as easily one of the best finales in any sentai or even power rangers ever of all time , everything was done just so damn well. And just because of this finale I gotta rank King up there now as one of my favourite Red Rangers ever. ToQger better bring it right outta the gate because everyone is very meh on it from all we have seen. Just watched it myself. Holy shit. Just...holy shit, that was awesome. {Spoiler}it was a perfect whirlwind of emotion. From King saving Amy, to almost dying, to the Earth's Melody, Candelira's surprisingly epic face turn, Utchy coming back to life. Everything was perfect. I was alternating between almost crying and marking out like a five year old Cena fan.
I really hope the 50 years later special shows is that Nossan and Candelira wind up together. I know how Sentai works, but if there's any series I wish would get a sequel, it's definitely Kyoryuger. Just a perfect series. {Spoiler}{Spoiler}I can't help but wonder if that is their intent once they revealed that Deboss has a creator....but I assume it will be for the for the next Vs movie because thats a hell of a revelation not to follow up on in some way.

Anyone know how popular Kyoryuger was over in Japan, ratings and toy-wise? Shinkenger got a "returns" special, and of course the recent Hurricaneger 10 years after. Personally having seen fairly recent photos of the Dairanger cast, I'd be up for more of them: And Agreed with Sigmax, I'd love more Gokaiger may they return as many times as they like. Even without the change gimmick, I just love that cast, and their "default" suits & weapons work in their own right.

After seeing that pic now I to want to see a DaiRanger reunion movie , it doesn't look like they have aged at all.
As for how popular Kyoryuger was from what people have said their toys have sold the most since pre-gao something like Go-Busters made like 9.5 billion yen in toy sales and Kyoryuger made somewhere in the range of 22.1 billion yen which is like 242million stateside...my numbers are off the mark but I am close enough.
Anyways didn't realize the 100yrs after had a trailer already...well atleast a teaser.
LOL they come off more like a parody team then the actual successors.

Anyone know how popular Kyoryuger was over in Japan, ratings and toy-wise? Toy wise, it is Japan's best selling Series in a decade, according to the Power Rangers Dino Charge press release. Ratings wise, last I heard, it was actually doing slightly worse than Go-Busters, but I haven't really been following that, so it may not be 100% accurate. EDIT: I've been watching Kyoryuger, and I find it funny that both it and ZyuRanger had an episode that was about parenting, but due to being 20 years apart, the messages are complete opposite from each other. ZyuRanger's being not to be too strict, and Kyoryuger's about not being too soft and spoiling the child, which could ultimately be to the child's determent.

Weird coincidence I found out today. King's actor is named Ryo Ryusei, which, if my Sentai Japanese is accurate, his last name translates to Dragon Star.
He was born the year Dairanger was airing. Kinda weird, eh?

Dear God, the revived Deboss from episodes 22 and 23 has got to be one of the fakest looking costumes I have ever seen.

I heard something about hos Gokaiger's ratings weren't too hot, but toy sales are such a big factor now, and they STILL put out new Ranger Keys from time to time. I think the decision to skip Go-Busters may have come from Bandai more than Toei, probably not wanting to try and sell stuff again, that did badly first time... Anyway, just got done watching episode 17 of Kamen Rider Gaim, and I love how fluid it seems to be. Every few episodes there's a twist or something meaning there's never truly much of a "Status Quo" in there. The whole story with Micchy right now is VERY interesting. I hope the "Energy Riders" get more varied weapons than that laser bow for everyone. Zangetsu, Sigurd and Marika all have them, as does Gaim in Jinba Lemon form using that attachment that Ryoma gave him.

All I know of Gaim is the head writer's nickname is Uro-Butcher.
Intrigues me about his work, I will admit.

All I know of Gaim is the head writer's nickname is Uro-Butcher. Intrigues me about his work, I will admit. Yeah, his track record in anime and novels is all about dark themes, tragic twists and such. Looks like Gaim is very much in that vein so far. Up to episode 43 of Shinkenger, the "Next time" bit right at the end was REALLY spoileriffic with: {Spoiler}{Spoiler}a shot of a female Shinken Red. I wish I didn't already sort of know about this or see the Gokaiger tribute episode before starting Shinkenger. That image is a bit "WTF?" seeing it for the first time. As for the Akumaro stuff - I generally see Sentai as no more or less "kiddy" than Power Rangers, but every so often, it goes somewhere that I start wondering what actually passes for children's television over there. Daijinryuu's appearances in Dairanger had me thinking this, and Akumaro's 200-year ambition to bring about Hell on Earth, and manipulating Juzou to get him to be the one that opens the gate to hell... Also, even if he couldn't last long before drying out, Dokoku's first appearance in the Human world was pretty epic. Also, his voice actor played Shadam in Dairanger. Cool.

Then you got Satan himself in Zyuranger too..

Is it weird that I feel as if Kyoryuger is just starting, as I enter the second of the series? It just seems more focused, to me, now.

I don'r even know what to say about ToQger...just wow. {Spoiler}{Spoiler}The twist that they are all dead is interesting.
The series I am glad is lighthearted but that kind of nullifies its self with them being dead IMO.
LOVE the villan designs even more now seeing them in action.
The Henshin and the theme song are awesome.
I LOLed at them having to use their passes and run through that little subway gate to get to the Zords...different but still funny.
Them changing into each other is cool....but seems pretty pointless when we have seen a team like Gokaiger just throw each other weapons to use , so maybe there is another effect but as of now seems just pointless to change into another color just to use their weapon.
That conductor is getting real annoying really fast.

I believe there was a stream (saw a bunch of chatter about the show on Twitter), I don't think the fansubs have surfaced yet. They usually pop up about a few days after.

Where did you guys see it already? It's not subtitled, but the good thing about these shows is even without speaking or understanding the language, you can still follow it without much issue.

That and the mecha's use of stretchy punches and kicks reminded me of Dhalsim.

Another thought.
That IMAGINATION ability has to be a pretty OP as hell ability since effectively as long as long as they can imagine it they can practically do anything , I know Gai from Gokaiger had the same ability which was only truly shown off once when he became Gokai Christmas.
Alot of interesting concepts they are playing around with this sentai.
