I never see any discussion for this in the west, but I've loved these toys and past shows. Lots of Japanese fans going nuts.

I've seen some of it, mostly I remember it from the Hatsune Miku cameo. It's a pretty comfy show, I have to dust it off and see the rest of it sometime...

Interesting to see that OLM isn't returning for this. I've noticed OLM has done many co-productions with Production I.G and the studios under them, so maybe that has why Production I.G and Signal.MD are working on this (OLM has also done a ton of anime based on Takara Tomy toys in the past couple of years). I wonder if it'll be 4 consecutive cours like the previous seasons?

We did talk about the 2 previous seasons here. Generation 1 had Evangelion's cameo, generation 2 had Miku as part of the team, i wonder what cameo/parody generation 3 will have, Vtuber from hololive wouldn't surprise me. Generation 1 had 6 cours.

I wonder which guest stars they can get next.
Nothing will top Godzilla.

Miku was in the first show and movie. Eva was in both shows and the movie. Z had Maetel from Galaxy Express 999 as the cameo pilot instead of Miku

Someone has to carry it and be active in promoting it and I imagine the use of actual trains and other people's IP's have made that an issue.

I wonder if it'll be more in line with the OG show or Z since Z seemingly was a fumble.

Its really not surprising. Nobody picked up the show for streaming (neither Shinkalion, Drive Head or Earth Granner got streamed; the last one only got an SEA English dub streamed on Youtube though) and shows like this don't typically get good reception via stresming sites anyways. Heck, Gyrozetter didn't get picked up back in the day and that was SquareEnix behind it.
The most dicussion I've seen it get in Western spheres was when we got it added to SRW 30 as part of the expansion pack DLC. Its kind of like what happened with Symphogear when that first started.

So it looks like we either have a slightly older Shin Arata this time, or someone else entirely, but still an older protagonist...

Nor Gaist Crusher which had CAPCOM behind it. I think Hero Break got English subtitles if I recall correctly.
From what I surmise, America just isn't that interested in trains so it's understandable. ToQger was well regarded in Japan but I think it was the season America's Power Rangers decided to skip.
