After the end of "GaoGaiGar", a new major project called "The King of Braves GaoGaiGar Project Z" was announced, which would have linked the show closely with another Studio 7 series, "Betterman". Like most of the other Studio 7 anime and "GaoGaiGar" sequels, it seems designed to appeal to a much older audience than the traditional Brave demographic. However, Project Z has been cancelled, leaving "GaoGaiGar" as the last installment of the Brave Series. "GaoGaiGar" also suffered poor television ratings in contrast with enormous DVD sales, which supports the idea that children tuned out of "GaoGaiGar" while older fans grew interested in the show's unusually complex, epic cosmology. The idea is again revisited by Sunrise, and been revised into a novel series named "" in 2016.
