At this point, I would think so.
Someone should do an MMPR style walkout and leave during the middle of the season or better around ep. 40 when they start bulding up to the finale and tell Toei to suck it.
I wouldn't even mind if it's a season I like, I just want to see the meltdowns and how they scramble to replace the main character close to the end.

They'd probably never work again, though.
I mean, I agree, but the personal risk to the actor for doing something like that is pretty high.

That was a rare thing. I would think it would be a huge risk for those people, even if it needs to be done.
Several have retired relatively shortly after their series anyway. Magishine became a teacher, Gosei Black a lawyer etc., if they already have other plans they don't have anything to lose and could decide to leave making some noise.
a non-issue for toku actors
Thats the big lie though isn't it?
They sell nichiAsa as a way to kickstart your career, but it only really happens to some kamen riders, barely any super sentai. You basically get sent through the ringer and in the end nothing to show for it.
It's fucked up really, but like this is one aspect of the larger problem that is the Japanese entertainment industry:

Again, that seemed to happen with Hana's actress, she barely did anything in the industry afterwards before completely dropping off.
I wonder how much bullshit the really successful toku actors had to put up with during/after their shows.
Watch Da Birdie
I buy cakes for myself on my birthday it's not weird lots of people do it I bet
The popular rumor was she was basically paid off so she wouldn't speak out against seuxal harassment, which is pretty messed up if true.
There's that "Curse of the Kamen Rider" comic that puts that forth. Though I dislike how of all the horrible shit that happens in that like the guys house burning down and one ending up homeless they make a big deal about Kenzaki's actor just doing some light gay porn.

Yeah, that manga really flourished a lot of things.
About Shinkenred's actor...I'm not the least bit surprised that Toei would be cheap enough to underpay their main actor, but him having to live on water and scraps was a real shock. Thankfully he seems to have a much more steady career as a model now, but he also says that he's been rather lonely lately so I hope he's doing okay.

Most of them. Sentai/Kamen Rider is essentially an internship. It's the "do this for exposure" of the film world.

Ninja Storm is a weird one to pick. Maybe it's connected to the Ninja Steel in a weird way.

Sometimes I think it's a miracle we get returning (non-voice) actors, I do appreciate when most do decide to come back for guest role/cameo...or even do a voice over in video games.
By the way, congrats on the mod position.

Furry Sentai 01 was fun, a bit too quick tho.
Japan TV pretty notorious about taking shit down, so it may be hard to find, but the original clip was from an appearance on the show "Hirunandesu" which it looks like he may have been on a couple times.

Wait, what MMPR walk out? I thought the only walk out that happened were in filming the crossover special in LGxLSR
I wondered if it was just me. Everything went super fast it seems.
Like..he gets to the otherworld wayyy to fast and suddenly BAM FIGHTING TIME.
Other than that it was a lot of fun.

Doubutsu Sentai Zyuohger 1
Finally, a Red that isn't an idiot. Plus, he's a good actor. Loving his weapon too (it's like Ivy from Soul Calibur).
Of the Zyumans so far, Leo is the best. He's so likable. Amu is adorable as well.
Also, best monster growth method ever. Though the use of coins does remind me of the medals in OOO.
This feels like the Year of the Furry. Along with Zootopia and the current One Piece arc (which might be coming to an end soon, but we'll see). I hope PR doesn't skip over this season.
He's referring to Austin St. John, Thuy Trang and Walter Jones leaving the show in protest of their low pay. Austin was the first to do it, skipping out on ADR sessions (which is why starting in Missing Green, he has a really bad sounding imitator). Thuy and Walter joined him and when they couldn't settle on a good contract, they all left. Hence the whole "Peace Conference" thing.

Kind of had my doubts about Zyuohger's premise working but it works.
They went all in on the cube and the game motif so this'll work.

Oh didn't know it involved walking out. I knew they didn't like the low pay but I thought they just quit rather than walking out in mid-filming.
Holy shit.
You are the MVP, shaowebb.
Zyuohger 01
My reactions as the episode goes:
- Cool opening!
- ....wwwwoow at the rainbow-cube-portal CG...
- Zyuland looks pretty cool.
- So many reaction images are going to come out of those characters.
- ELEPHANT ON ELEPHANT
- Villains are giving me a Gokaiger vibe.
- Wowa, Sauron got the Megabuster.
- SHINING NIPPLES
- Is this the arcade themed tokusatsu I've been waiting for!?
- Cube steering wheels. Obviously.
- HAHAHA Cube Lion looks ridiculous.
- The cubes rolling around like some kind of accident are giving us cooler mech action than most of sentai, what the fuck
- GIANT NAIL OUT OF NOWHERE. The POV camera was cool, reminds me of the GaoGaiGar transformation sequence.
- Cube Tiger flailing the paws to throw random energy projectiles is hilarious
- Weak ass finisher, the way the sword caught some rings of fire around itself when they clashed it was more interesting.
- "NINGEEEEEENNNN"
- Zzzzzz ending theme, the gimmick with the animal/zoo is something I would like if I was a kid though
Zyuohger looks promising, but I hope it doesn't get to the point where I end up dropping it a couple of episodes later. I normally don't complete a lot of Sentai (outside of Kakuranger, Gokaiger, and Kyoryuger), so I'm hoping it can keep my attention.
Is Eagle the only Zyuohger that's getting anything unique? He has a Whip Sword and a Gorilla Form Change, while the others don't get anything unique to them outside of the Unleashed powers.

Promising first episode. The effects were nice, let's see how they'll downgrade them as the series goes on. The action was nice, and their "Abare Mode" is pretty cool too. Why they have to use Shinny Nipples to get them, I dunno, heh.
The enemy base reminds me a bit of Gokaiger, but the Arcade theme is interesting. Even the monster grow up method fits well with their theme. Leader looks cool. The enemies having flying ships as older sentai is a cool touch, as well.
The giant fight... was good, actually. The cubes are cooler than I thought they would be at first. The robot in action is also good, let's see how messy it'll get when they put more and more animals on it.
...that Elephant on Elephant thing, is it like that Pluto and Goofy thing?
The opening was very good. Ending dance was ok, I guess. The robot dancing was funny.
Eagle
Elephant will be Yamato's tsundere best friend? Lion is a cool guy, and while Tiger and Shark didn't do much, they look good too.

...Decade (the series) ends with a cliffhanger? Seriously? Well, anyway... just the movie to go. Will watch it at the weekend.
Even without the movie, I think I can say... Decade had it's cool moments, but in general was the worst Kamen Rider I watched. Tsukasa was... I dunno, sometimes he was a Tendou wannabe, sometimes he's a joke (and that's when his character is good), most of the times he was just an asshole. His actor wasn't good. Natsumi was bad. Yuusuke and Kaitou were ok, even good sometimes. Grandpa was ok too.
The series... was kinda of a mess. Some good arcs (Kabuto, Den-O, Hibiki, Black), some horrible ones (Kiva and Amazon in special), other that were just meh. Some of the fanservice was very good (Ootoya! Kotaro! The Kabuto episode, that even not using any of the original actors, had an atmosphere close to the series, and grandma), but... that was it. There was no plot for most of the series. And that would be ok, if they didn't give clues that there was something more behind everything.

Did you watch the special version of episode 31 at least (the one that ends
with the Rider War dream coming true, rather than just the 8 Heisei Riders appearing

I love GB's pile bunker finisher, I wish we got more of those
More Carranger spinning.
Excadrill is the best.
Going to disagree. Everything after Shogun's flaming sword was a downgrade.
