I'm honestly impressed with the designs, I'm looking forward to all the neat toys! Sentai has been on a real roll lately, this show promises to be a ton ofn. Also, first female Black member! I just hope the robots are a bit cooler than Boonboomger. All the love to my boy Bundorio Bunderas, but the Boonboomger Robo toy kinda didn't do anything for me.

A lot of people down on Akiko Inoue being head writer, but I want to believe she wasn't the one responsible for Gotchard being a trainwreck since she didn't join until it was almost halfway done. But with her on board I do hope this Black is the second coming of Gai (Inu Brother wasn't enough).

Congrats to Akiko Inoue for headlining her first tokusatsu show just like her dad! Curious to see what she's like in the drivers seat by comparison.
Also kind of interesting premise with the "team" competing with each other and it sounds like they'll be fighting monsters and people using the power of specific Sentai teams' Red Rangers.
I do miss when we had two women on the team.

Heck, she wrote some of the actual solid Gotchard episodes.

This is a surprise. Fans were not expecting this to be the 50th anniversary season because it's actually the 49th season of Super Sentai.
However, it is the 50th sentai team, because one season (Lupinranger VS Pataranger) had two teams. And 2025 will mark 50 years since the start of the franchise (the years do not match the season count because the first season lasted two years.)
So there's multiple ways to count when the 50th anniversary happens. However, in past years they always marked anniversaries based on the season number, ignoring other factors. So this is a bit of a change in policy, and caught fans a little off guard.
This does make me wonder if they'll try for another celebration in 2026, when the actual 50th season happens.

Agreed. It let's them split the personality traits between two characters rather than just one character being the designated "girl" All my favorite sentai girls come from series with at least 2 females. Although I did like Oni Sister a lot.
Gozyu Wolf's design reminds me a lot of Kamen Rider Geats. The robots look cool and remind me of Magiranger.

I don't think they would. The whole official numbering on Super Sentai can feel awkward to me.

Notably the red rangers are numbered in reverse order, with the first red being 50 and then counting down to 1.
AkaRed to appear? I think he was in the 30th, 35th and 40th anniversary's but only a background cameo in the 45th.
