Gavan Infinity has just concluded in 23 episodes. This reminds me of the time when Toei Ltd. released some old-school Toku shows that didn't last a year. Kamen Rider Amazon was cut short by 24 episodes, probably due to the violence. Several Kamen Rider shows didn't last a year during the Showa era. Dengitai JAKQ only lasted 35 episodes. Gavan Infinity ended this year -- the same year that Kenji Ohba died. It seems that Toei had planned the whole episode count of 23, and not because of my speculation that Ohba's death this year caused the cut. How does Gavan Infinity hold up? Honestly, I want to call it an experiment of sorts. The whole story separates itself from Uchu Keiji Gavan (thankfully) despite carrying the same title. The story tends to mix elements from previous works, such as: Monsters of the week are humans who use Emorgear, the same way that Dopants in Kamen Rider W and Zodiarts in Kamen Rider Fourze get defeated and revert back to human form instead.

The main visual has also been released, featuring a giant beast with roaring horns (a horned beast) and a red hero standing with a megaphone-like item in his hand, accompanied by the tagline "Raise your voice!" Furthermore, a teaser PV titled "-Awakening-" has also been released on the YouTube channel "PROJECT RED" and the Toei Tokusatsu Fan Club (TTFC). The video features a hero in a red cap awakening a giant red beast with large horns, and also includes shots of many more horned beasts lined up together. The protagonist is Shout...

I once thought that Universe Heroes was a renaming of the Super Sentai franchise, but I later realized it was a hiatus . Instead, since last year, it was announced that Universe Heroes is taking over the Super Sentai franchise since last year. Even the very way No. 1 Sentai Gozyuger  may have had a dead giveaway. Megazord Graveyard at the beginning was just the beginning. Celebrating Super Sentai's 50th birthday instead of the 50th entry? Those were crazy signs that I felt weren't  I already thought that the  Super Sentai franchise needed a break ever since the end of Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger. The post- Gokaiger era had its creative direction's ups and downs . It was a rollercoaster ride for me (but I never rode a rollercoaster, weak stomach) when I was critical about Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger after Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters . It took me some time to appreciate Ressha Sentai ToQGer given that I had an overload . The series had its ups and downs. In fact, I even remember...
