TAANN News Updates 12/02/24 - New Sentai! New Ultraman!! Ultraman Z on Blu-Ray!!!

[@jessetorres8738]

It's a shame that we didn't get a Bioman 40th Anniversary Movie since all 5 actors are still alive. Also, I wish the next Sentai would have been a sequel series following their grandchildren fighting villains similar to the 1s their grandparents fought in 1984.

[@TokuAndAnimationNewsNetwork]

So like the ending to Dairanger. 😛

[@Станислав-з4ч]

Gozyuger suits look absolutely gorgeous

[@LMNO837]

And the logo reminds this of "Gaoranger". Other evolution: after the first female Yellow in "Bio", the first female White in "Change", the first fmale Blue in "Live", the first female Red in "Shinken", the first female Green in "Kyu" and the first male Pink in "Donbro", we finally have the first female Black in "Gozyu".

[@ricardopjproductions]

I have high hopes for Omega, hope it will be as good as Blazar and Arc. And it is a shame that Power Rangers won't adapt Gozyuger because it looks so awesome.

[@TokuAndAnimationNewsNetwork]

At least we have Sentai.

[@ricardopjproductions]

@@TokuAndAnimationNewsNetwork Yep. But i think Hasbro should reconsider to atapt it because it would be success thats for sure!

[@TokuAndAnimationNewsNetwork]

@@ricardopjproductions Rumors are Hasbro is selling off the PR brand next year, so who knows what the buyer will end up doing with it.

[@ricardopjproductions]

@@TokuAndAnimationNewsNetworkOk then, that’s interesting.

[@mikesilva3868]

Awesome info about the new sentai ❤

[@TokuAndAnimationNewsNetwork]

Yep.

[@blacksun5610]

Yeah finally!! I been waiting for Utraman Z blu ray to come out. Finally I can buy it!!

[@TokuAndAnimationNewsNetwork]

It will be cool to see the show again.

[@blacksun5610]

@TokuAndAnimationNewsNetwork Yes I agree

[@DLRX]

Gozyuger has an interesting line up. A wolf, eagle, lion, unicorn, and dinosaur. Three regular animals, a mythological, and a prehistoric. I'll be curious to see what the overall theme will be.

[@TokuAndAnimationNewsNetwork]

Same.

[@jonahfunk898]

I’m kind of still behind on Super Sentai, Kamen Rider and Ultraman (mostly because it was hard to keep up with the time change of super hero time during build and kyuranger, but I got used to it) but now that I have Blazar and geats (I’m watching revice and I’m almost done)on Blu-ray I can possibly catch up quickly within a month or two. I can’t wait to see what they do for Ultraman Omega and Gozyuger

[@TokuAndAnimationNewsNetwork]

Catching up and sometimes feel daunting, but it is doable.

[@jonahfunk898]

@ yup. Once I reach the point where I stopped watching gotchard to focus on finishing the heisei era, I think I’m going to start the Showa era with the first Kamen Rider and Super Sentai (got to find a website that’s won’t put a virus in my IPad which is my main source for watching the shows and a website where I can watch both super sentai and Kamen Rider up until Liveman and skyrider) other than tubi, do you know of any websites?

[@Станислав-з4ч]

First day of kaijumas

[@TokuAndAnimationNewsNetwork]

lol And of course, I forgot to use the Xmas opening.

[@maingamer6846]

I can't believe there releasing Ultraman Z on Blu-Ray!!! Especially since Mill Creek hasn't made any sort of social media announcement. I love how they going full throttle with there physical media releases but I hate being behind on it. Amazon says it's gonna be 3 discs not 4. Also can't wait for your Donbrothers review. That Hitler thing is one of the most messed up things I've ever heard (especially since you got banned for telling those people off). Have you seen any of the recent big movies that have came out such as Wicked, Gladiator II and/or Moana 2?

[@TokuAndAnimationNewsNetwork]

I forget when it happened, but back in August we were told they had renewed their license with Tsuburaya and acquired more series. 3 discs though? That seems pretty small for 25 episodes plus clipshows.

[@maingamer6846]

@ Who knows maybe Amazon is wrong but that’s what I saw

[@TokuAndAnimationNewsNetwork]

@@maingamer6846 It's possible. We won't know for sure until MC makes the official listing.

[@maingamer6846]

@ True

[@kenshilite8074]

As for Go Zyuger: -Uniforms are just fine but I really liked these helmets. -I think Blue is male but with long hair. If it's true, this is a reason to why people mistake about Blue's gender. İnstead I think sixth ranger will be female. -There were a rumor about season will start with Red, Blue and Green. Since all of these three seems male, I think one of the Black or Yellow ranger will be narrator or/and perspective character of this season. Because with the Donbrothers, the tradition of telling the story from another member's perspective began. This was even used for Keiwa in Kamen Rider Geats. -I think the team will consist of cousins ​​rather than siblings. -Skirt is seemingly back lol. -Mecha is cool, i like mustache details on the mecha. -And I don't know if you've noticed, but there have been a lot of references to felines and canines in Toei productions lately. Canine References: •Ace/Kamen Rider Geats is fox themed. •Komugi/Cure Wonderful is actually dog. •The Stomach family in Kamen Rider Gavv are wolf-based granutes. •Gozyuger's leader is wolf-themed. Feline Referances: •Neon/Kamen Rider Nago is cat themed. •Yuki/Cure Nyammy is actually cat. •Safari and Fire-Engine cars of Boonboomger are feline themed. (Tiger and Lion) •Genba/Boon Orange is cat-based alien. •Blue ranger from Gozyuger is lion-themed. Plus, Kamen Rider Majade and Black ranger from Gozyuger are unicorn themed and both are female. Also Majade's final form is black.

[@TokuAndAnimationNewsNetwork]

Guess we'll know in a month or so how many of your predictions come true. 🙂

[@msena1997ms]

I loved donbrothers but it had the hitosuki designed like legendary mecha and respective mecha designs for the giant monsters unlike zenkaiger did. I wish they did that in the show more!

[@TokuAndAnimationNewsNetwork]

They were what the monsters in Zenkai should have been.

[@DanishHadi-xn6mq]

Gozyuger Suits Are So Fabulous

[@TokuAndAnimationNewsNetwork]

They look really good.

[@comicbookking3446]

These suits look awesome I’m glad we have a Green ranger in the team again and I’m glad we have a female Black Ranger in the core team now. I’m also happy that we have a red blue yellow green and black color scheme I missed that color scheme and we haven’t had it since Go-Onger. I am seeing leaks that the Blue Ranger is going to be female alongside the Black Ranger.

[@TokuAndAnimationNewsNetwork]

Assuming the female being black is true.

[@thefunnychiptuneman]

i wonder how many more ultraman stuff we have left for mill creek to do i hope we get an ultraman rising bluray soon and all the rest of the series and movies out and hopefuly shout will do more sentai dvds soon and hopefuly discotek gvies us an update on kikaider

[@TokuAndAnimationNewsNetwork]

Trigger and Decker are going to be definites, but we'll have to see from there. We probably won't see anything Sentai related from Shout! until after Hasbro has sold off the PR brand next year.

[@thefunnychiptuneman]

@TokuAndAnimationNewsNetwork man i miss when it was fun being a PR fan cosmic fury was so bad

[@derreckjenner953]

I am hyped for the fact that Black is the first female ranger to be associated with that color. I am still a bit mixed though i like it better than the Boonboomger suits, I love the color combinations and the helmets but it feels like something that China made with Black being my favorite of the suits. The henshin device though i've never been a fan of Rings, did not like its execution in Wizard and it barely did anything in Gotchard with the alchemist rings. As for my speculations: 1. I can see it being written by a new blood like with King-Ohger and Boonboomger 2. It will be the first sentai to have a completely new narrative which makes it have sense for the Number 1 aspect. 3. Blue or Green will be a Rita Situation with being a Non-Gender coded ranger and 4. I can see this being in Pre-Production like Gavv as its been rumored that Gavv already had finished filming the first half.

[@TokuAndAnimationNewsNetwork]

I keep hearing people say they look like they're made in China, and I just don't get how. Nothing against you or anyone else, but couldn't you say that about any Sentai suit? 1. That would be nice. 2. Hope so. 3. That would be cool. 4. Yeah, they had like the first 20 episodes done before Gavv aired. This is a smart move on Toei's part.

[@rayhayes7701]

I've got some updates too as to what I'm watching. Tokusatsu: I've started watching the first Kamen Rider a few weeks ago from like four o'clock which is my dinner time and I'm on the second arc now and Colonel Zol has shown up. It's slow but ok so far. I did watch the review you made but I won't give you my thoughts yet until I finish the show. Beige watch wise I'm rewatching Kamen Rider Ghost and I finally decided to watch Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger. Anime: My plan is to watch four shorter animes and one longer one that's about 40 episodes. For the short ones I'm watching Demon Slayer the Hashirya Training arc, then Season 3 of Blue Exorcist, then Shamen King Flowers and I forgot one of them. The long anime is Digimon Data Squad which I haven't seen that season of Digimon in a long time but I managed to track it down. Other than that. Thanksgiving was good.

[@TokuAndAnimationNewsNetwork]

I've yet to watch Demon Slayer, but I enjoyed the manga.

[@rayhayes7701]

@ I wish I could read the manga really. It’s just my local library doesn’t have a lot of options right now. I probably will have to go to a another library

[@TokuAndAnimationNewsNetwork]

@@rayhayes7701 Can your library order it from another location?

[@rayhayes7701]

@ I can. But sometimes it might take longer. As I have requested books from other libraries that did have something I wanted to read before.

[@MaxStarScream]

Well Inoue didn't plan on writing for Don Murasame, but Toei needed to sell toys, so he had to work with it. I still like Don Murasame's suit. Wish we got that figuart.

[@vinohartono7297]

His rivalry with Don Torabolt is one of my favorite parts of the show

[@MaxStarScream]

Wish it could have been shown more often, but the core five and the villians were the main focus. Don Torabolt is a great sixth ranger.

[@TokuAndAnimationNewsNetwork]

Well that makes more sense, but that's also disappointing that he was forced to put a useless character in the show that amounted to nothing. Of course, Inoue is so weird at times. He did an amazing job with the series overall, but then completely backtracked on his entire show with that shitastic VS Zenkaiger film that completely undermines everything.

[@MaxStarScream]

From what I know, he had nothing to do with that crossover. Which is why everything feels out of place.

[@TokuAndAnimationNewsNetwork]

@@MaxStarScream But he is credited as the writer for the Donbrothers segment.

[@Станислав-з4ч]

[@kamenrider64]

I heard that blue was gonna be female but the suit looks more male on the poster maybe black will be only female on the team the suits look cool red being a wolf is nice and the fact we have a unicorn themed ranger this shows that toei has really stretch out to different things which is fabulous to see

[@TokuAndAnimationNewsNetwork]

I heard it was green and black, but I guess we'll know in a month or so.

[@Guyverman01]

Am I the only one who thinks Ultraman Omega would be better fit for an aniversary series? Also, having a wolf-themed Red ranger for once is a nice surprise.

[@TokuAndAnimationNewsNetwork]

How so for Omega?

[@Guyverman01]

@@TokuAndAnimationNewsNetwork An anniversary is a culmination of sorts. Like the letter Omega itself.

[@TokuAndAnimationNewsNetwork]

@@Guyverman01 makes sense.

[@dwaynewilson8919]

Judging it’ll be an early anniversary series, it definitely going to reuse a familiar establish head writer. The upscale poster made the suit look very glossy like kamen rider wizard especially with the rings. It will be disappointing if they don’t take advantage of the circle on their chest like Jamey rider Os. However, it’s refreshing to see that red isn’t a bird, big cat, or dinosaur. Also, green is back too.

[@TokuAndAnimationNewsNetwork]

I'd be down for either Inoue or Arakawa.

[@jonahfunk898]

For gozyuger, imagine if the red ranger isn’t the leader. Like mighty morphin alien rangers one of the other characters (doesn’t matter to me if they’re female or not) is the leader and red is second in command

[@TokuAndAnimationNewsNetwork]

That would be interesting. Maybe blue is leader, which is why he is the lion.

[@jonahfunk898]

@ I can see that

[@caseyqueensen2576]

Can you review the original Gridman in the future.

[@TokuAndAnimationNewsNetwork]

Whenever I have time for it.

[@AnsonLam-up3jm]

I don’t know how i feel about the gozyuger suits honestly, the helmets look basically perfect, the gold on the helmets looks amazing, but the suits themselves look incomplete, the circle on the chest looks like it was tacked on last second. Also Kaiju, there are only three animal Sentai’s that have a red lion, Kyuranger, Gingaman and Gaoranger.

[@TokuAndAnimationNewsNetwork]

True, but that was 3/3.

[@AnsonLam-up3jm]

@ Liveman, Sun Vulcan, Go-Onger technically, Gekiranger, and etc.

[@TokuAndAnimationNewsNetwork]

@@AnsonLam-up3jm Go-Onger's a vehicle themed series, not really animal based, but yeah, I guess Liveman and Sun Vulcan count.

[@AnsonLam-up3jm]

@@TokuAndAnimationNewsNetwork then explain why the engines look like animals, speedor is a condor, toripter is a chicken and etc. but yeah it technically isn’t a animal based Sentai, but it is technically one. Massive emphasis on technically.

[@dwaynewilson8919]

Donbrothers is definitely one of the more unique series coming from sentai and inoue. It’s too bad the villain origin story and goals are paper thin. There’s a few lines here and there, but it’s a little bit of talking and no showing at all especially with the stacy 2.0. Inoue did try to explain stuffs near the end, but it’s very convoluted, you’re better off filling in the blank yourself. Heard he made massive changes towards the middle of the show according to producer notes. I think inoue wanted to do his own thing, but was bound by the zenkaiger and gears stuffs in the beginning, which he dropped those things very quick along with the mini changes and legend changes.

[@TokuAndAnimationNewsNetwork]

Well the Cerebrans weren't really there to conquer the world, they were just supposed to keep greed in check and battle the Don Clan if they should emerge. I'm glad he dropped the gear changes. It made sense at the beginning of the show when they were inexperienced and didn't have their own abilities to rely on, whereas by the halfway point, they had their own arsenal and stuff. Not relying on form changes allowed them to be their own characters.

[@dwaynewilson8919]

Suits and robot look cool from the initial poster. It’s definitely less innovating, less outlandish, and less outside the box in comparison to the last four seasons. There’s a lot of knock off comments about it for playing safe for the 50th anniversary. It’s kind of like how toqger and zyuohger robot got meme back in the day, but this time is the suits for being very generic. Just hope they’re not going to do shallow anniversary stuff like zenkaiger that didn’t amount to anything. There’s even rumor that it’ll air longer or some aspect will be carryover to the next season after it like donbrothers. If that’s the case, it needs to do a better job connecting it.

[@TokuAndAnimationNewsNetwork]

I don't think it looks safe. I mean, Boonboomger would be the show playing it safe of the most recent series though, but even that has done some great stuff.

[@grantsmith1146]

I’m just concerned for who the head writer for gozyuger it better not be a kamen rider loving pain the ass head writer

[@TokuAndAnimationNewsNetwork]

Agreed.
