I honestly hope this show's main producer doesn't come back to Rider and does Sentai instead. His tactics of making the specials and movies integral to the plot would work far better with Super Sentai since it isn't allowed to have as many. He also has stated before in interviews that he prefers Sentai over Rider so maybe then he would be more invested with his production and not be a yesman and accept all the ideas that his peers proposed to him. At least with Gotchard he learned that Uchida simply doesn't work as a main writer and despite him not having contacts due to being a new producer I feel Ayumi Shimo would fare really well at being a main writer for a lighthearted show which is the style of seasons he prefers. Heck, Akatsuki Yamatoya and Akiko Inoue as main writer would also probably do well with his producing style, I just don't trust them enough as writers but they would at least do a better job than Uchida.
Honestly liked everything from the conference except the opening which might be the worst one in Kamen Rider personally. Still really scared because of Junko Komura. Her most consistent problems are how she tends to only focus in like 3 characters then shaft everyone else, so having a lot of villains scare me. Also she kinda sucks at writing straight man. The only thing that kinda gives me hope is that we've never seen a show where the producer just let hers do whatever which is usually what Takebe does. Utsunomiya and Kazunari wanted her to make generic MOTW/villains in all her shows and Shirakura basically came up with almost every idea in Zenkaiger and barely gave her any freedom. Obviously freedom is a double edge sword but Gavv having more developing time than most Toei tokus gives me hope, at the very least it can't be worse than every rider that has aired since Zi-O.
