Among the long-running Toku, KR,SS, Ultraman, etc, what do you consider the strongest 3+ year hot streak in any of those franchise?

Personally, nothing beats the Double, OOO, and Fourze going back to back to back. That was an amazing time to grow up with the franchise.

First that came to my mind were Bioman, Changeman, Flashman, Maskman and Liveman.

Kamen Rider: What you said
Sentai: Gingaman, GoGoV, Timeranger/Shinkenger, Goseiger, Gokaiger
Ultraman: Tiga, Dyna, Gaia/X, Orb, Geed

They're not all amazing or anything but I would call Hurricanger to Gokaiger an amazing streak of shows. Obviously, some are better (some are MUCH better) than others. But I wouldn't call a single one of those series bad. The first half of Heisei Riders is also pretty good (aside from first half of Blade and second half of Hibiki).

I personally think the start of the Heisei era itself is a really good streak in and of itself. Kiva's kind of a dud, but if you omit it, everything from Kuuga to Fourze is so consistently entertaining.

Ultraman: I dunno. I'm biased here since I like Ultraman a lot. I feel like it's cheating to count the Showa era stuff since they're classics. But, Tiga through Mebius is also super consistent.

Sentai: Dairanger through Shinkenger is a hell of a hot streak. Again, I think Toei was just super consistent. Some I think are better than others in here, but they were always trying really hard on the writing side of things.
 
Kiramager through Donbrothers was a classic run of Sentai.

Kiramager - Good cast, okay premise. BEST FIGHT SCENES IN THE SERIES
Zenkaigher - Fun series, perfect for kids. All the characters are fun. Light, fluffy entertainment at its best.
Donbrothers - Great characters, good comedy, best story in years. Weak on the monster fights.
 
About time. I liked RV Robo's design.
Ironically I was binge watching Carranger & I saw the reveal. It can also do the finishing pose.

I would say Zyuranger to Carranger due to the seasons getting adapted into power rangers and toysales were at its peak (despite ohranger ended up being the lowest rated show. its still the highest profitable season.) But reception wise Hurricanger, Abaranger & Dekaranger are considered the Heisei Big 3 by most.

But as a "Era" it's Gaoranger to Kyoryuger/Toqger. In terms of the most profitable sentai has been. They tried so hard to reach those numbers.

Wouldn't Zenkaiger to Kingohger be more accurate.

I have yet to encounter an SMP kit that wasn't impressive. I wish they would do an SMP version of Change Robo, Flash King and Great Five already.
I think muteki Shogun is considered the worst SMP due to the transformation for Red Saurder. I was thinking Great Five or Flash King would be awesome releases, Actions toys did A Great Five and it would be amazing to have it in SMP.

Are you picking up Time Robo? People in Japan or Ordered from PBAN already got Time Shadow.

Sadly, I'm not a fan of Timeranger's mecha in general. I would like to see an SMP Ohranger Robo instead so the SMP for the 90's era would be complete.

Edit: Forgot to add Five Robo to the list of "like to see being made in SMP format."

Basically, every major actor except for KR Gills (who retired after a major scandal) is back. They also mentioned that this is the first part of their Kamen Rider Chronicle line of movies. The following reveal will more than likely be the other worst kept secret, the Kamen Rider Kabuto 20th anniversary movie.

Glad that Agito's getting a movie for its 25th anniversary and that most of its regular cast are in it plus Another Agito. Sad about Ryo/Gills not appearing, though unless the actor managed to record a few lines for the upcoming movie as a surprise.

I'd want the actor back even if only briefly because I liked the character and his story. If the movie is gonna revolve around Gills it seems like a huge oversight not to have him back in some way. If there's any to cope to be found, the actors are still friendly with him despite the scandals that forced him to retire.

Also it would be very funny to see him get an uncredited cameo just to see all of  those people on social media who are currently moralizing over his absence sperging out. They're out there like, "I'm glad he's not involved, I don't want criminals rewarded." In between dozens of tweets supporting illegal aliens and condemning ICE. Like pick a fucking struggle.

Awesome. Awesome to the max.

Maybe Gills can ask Tegasword to change his face like Gozyu Unicorn.

Liked Gills' Amazon vibes and the look of his forms the first time I saw those, his finisher is unique yet brutal. Saw a video of Yusuke Tomoi (Ryo) on YT a few years ago as he was being interviewed while working at that yakiniku restaurant by a fan and he seems chill despite the change of career.

I just lol at these SJW tokusatsu fans since they're so obsessed about their uncalled hypocritical beliefs.
