Toei has finally announced the official title for the 43rd (and 44th team) Super Sentai series, Kishiryu Sentai Ryusoulger and has released new promo images plus the team that will be handling the upcoming series next year.
As we all know, Kishiryu Sentai Ryusoulger will be the 4th dinosaur team in the Super Sentai franchise whereas the previous dino team were Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger, Bakuryu Sentai Abaranger and Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger.
The series is written by Junpei Yamaoka (Kamen Teacher) and this will be his first tokusatsu series, will be directed by Kazuya Kamihoriuchi (Kamen Rider Heisei Generations Final) and will be produced by Shinya Maruyama (Pretty Gaurdian Sailormoon) and Kazuhiro Takahashi (Kamen Rider Ghost) with Kiyoshi Yoshikawa (CSI: Crime Scene Talks) composing the music for the series.
The story:
"65 million years ago, the immensely powerful Druidon Tribe reigned over Earth. The tribe abandoned the planet when a gigantic meteor approached, vowing that they would return as the rulers of the world again as they headed into space.
The Ryusou Tribe who battled against the Druidon Tribe stayed on earth, along with their dinosaur companions, the Kishiryu. The Ryusou Tribe withstood the ice age brought on by the gigantic meteor. They placed their Kishiryu companions into the Ryusouls and sealed them in temples throughout the world.
Time has moved on and the Druidon Tribe has returned after fighting in harsh environments across space, totally increasing their powers. The Ryusou Tribe that kept the Earth safe in the past have selected new knights: the Ryusoulgers. They have been revived by their mission as the battle against the Druidon Tribe begins."
Kishiryu Sentai Ryusoulger will premiere on TV Asahi next year, March 17, 2019 replacing the 4-part Super Sentai Strongest Battle special which will also replace Kaito Sentai Lupinranger VS Keisatsu Sentai Patranger after the series ends it's 51 episode run.

I really don’t get it. Unless something is missing from the previews this looks like a repackaged kyoryuger without the music. I get that season did very well especially from a toy perspective but still seems so weird to go back to well.
I almost wish with the now offset of season to team thanks to patranger vs lupinranger that they just did a sequel kyoryuger season. The it would even out
I like the suit design, but still hung up on the fact that it's dinosaurs AGAIN. Willing to give it a shot, looking forward to the first full promo trailer. While I'm at it, I'm calling it: Ryusoulger's next after Beast Morphers wraps
So in other words, Dairangers with dinosaurs. Ok then.
I find it kind of ironic that despite Toei playing it safe with dinosaurs, they decide to bring on a producer and writer who have never dabbled in tokusatsu. On one hand, I feel these two may inject some new life into sentai, on the other hand they could completely botch it due to entering toku for the first time. I've never watched anything from the writer or producer, but I still want to be hopeful that these two could bring something fresh to the table with their j-drama backgrounds. I am really looking forward to them bringing on director Kazuya Kamihoriuchi who did a fantastic job on some Ex-aid and Build episodes. A stand out episode he directed in build is episode 21, in which he helped create an atmosphere of eerie dread and uncomfortable silence of feeling the weight of personally taking a life.
These designs are sooo great! Maybe a bit of Kamen Rider Ryuki mixed with Psycho Rangers. Hope we get a more serious sentai this year. Shinkenger is my favorite.
