The BEST and WORST things about Gokaiger?
Pretty simplistic question. What do you think the BEST and WORST things about Gokaiger are?
BEST - the actors (all of them great), the action (top notch in my opinion), the stories (some refreshing and exciting ideas), and of course, the homage to past Sentai. WORST - if you have a favorite hero from the last 35 years, you'll be disappointed when they get very little screen time (RIP King Ranger and your 4 cameos in 40 something episodes). What are yours? |
BEST - Actors, action and cameos.
WORST - Additional Gokai machines and great powers only really covering the last 10 years of Sentai, poor villains for the most part of the show. |
Best - Actors (I agree with you Kickback), Action is great too, and I love the Tributes
Worst/Meh for me: Some of the non-tribute stuff in the latter end of the series doesn't catch my attention as much as some of the beginning stuff did, and that upsets me, because I really love this team and it's show but when things disappoint me a bit it well upsets me. I still think it's great overall though and I'm glad it's been easy to recommend this as a gateway series to people new to it. |
I think the mechs are a little disappointing - only because we had a ton given to us in the first 10 to 15 episodes, and then the last two have been the predominant ones used ever since. And I wish we'd have more of the tyranno mode of GoZyuJin instead of just the God Mode.
|
Best- The civilian form action scenes, these guys really pull off some awesome choreography, the actors are likeable and easy to relate to.
Worst- the DX Mecha line, the toys didn't really translated well from screen, Furaimaru was just a disappointment, I end up selling all the DX stuff and just kept the role-playing items and the Ranger Keys |

I think the worst things are the non-tribute episodes.
I'm not talking about the Character backstory ones, the ones like the "Ahim gets kidnapped" ones that are just there to fill up the gaps in between. I have never liked filler, so this is nothing new. Best part? I'd say the Music. I love it when we get a old theme song during a trubute shows with the trumpts in place of the vocals (it actually ticked me off that they didn't do this in the Jetman show), along with the Gokai inserts like Zenkai DASH that rock out! |

Gokai Blue is bad ass, Gokai Yellow is so hot, Pink is pretty. Dig Yellow and Blue's characterizations, Marvelous isn't bad either. Love the intentional ENGRISH. Love the previous hero transformation, like when Gokai Yellow turned into Vul Panther and Ninja Black, and when Joe turned into Big 1. Worst- Gokai Green. |
BEST - Ranger Keys & Guest spots. Seriouslly hope that the former actors angle translates over to the US incarnation.
WORST - Warizu (Spelling?) Hated him from the word go. but at the same time in Ep. 1 he mentioned his Father so I always knew we had a better villian on the way. |

Best: Everything
Worst: Nothing. Im serious when I say that. |
Best: The main cast, the battles, the cameos by veterans, all the little continuity nods.
Worst: No Gekiranger theme during their tribute episode. A crime against humanity considering they have one of the best opening themes of any Sentai. |
Best: In addition to some of the bests listed so far (the core cast, action, music) I would have to add BASCO to the list. The dude was awesome from the beginning, and he's become one of my favorite Toku villains since he transformed (such an awesome monster suit!) and thrashed the Gokaigers.
Worst: Probably the fact we won't be getting a Variblune toy :( |
Best stuff for me is the Gokaigers themselves - especially Doc and Gai - and Zealousto. I keep hoping he'll come back for a third episode before things wrap up, as his episodes have been wonderful loads of pure, silly crack.
Worst stuff for me is MagiGokaioh and Hurricane Gokaioh. |
Oh, the BEST BEST PART?
When CarRanger Red smacked his overlay away :lol |
The best part for me would be the Ranger Key gimmick. It's cool and well thought out.
The worst part is the mecha. Extraneous parts are absolutely unacceptable with today's engineering. |
Best parts are the shout outs to the past... particularly bringing back writers from past shows (see the Jetman ep, the Carranger ep and the wacky follow up). 2nd best would be the incredible casting. I love pretty much every one on the show.
Worst...? I dunno. The mecha battles aren't my favorite ever. They're okay and everything... I do appreciate that even the chartacers themselves get kind of annoyed. "Oh, this again?" The "buy this toy, we use this finisher the most" stuff isn't my fav, either but I kind of just accept it. |
Worst part ... no King Ranger cameo in the OhRanger tribute. ha

Best: The Gokaigers themselves, they're a great team with lots of character, huge credit to the actors.
Worst: Some of the Auxiliary Mecha aren't the best *cough* MagiDragon *cough* |
MagiDragon was GREAT in concept. But execution? Very, very lacking. Both toy and show wise.
|
Best: Gokaiger could, in all honesty, if you removed the anniversary elements, stand as it's own series. Sure, you'd have to add pirate themed upgrades to fill in for the grand powers... But it's so firmly rooted into it's own concept BEFORE you hit the anniversary stuff it ends up working so vey, very well.
The past Sentai heroes end up replacing the typical victims of the day plots, but that creates an interesting thing. There ends up feeling like VERY little time is wasted. One-off episodes that don't matter in the grand scheme feel a bit less frequent than a lot of shows. And even THOSE I've enjoyed quite a bit. I don't think there's a single episode I've hated. And of course the cast, and characters. I even grew to love Walz Gil before he passed. Hell, I could probably fill a book on what I think are all the best elements, so... Worst: That it has to end, but, you know what they say about all good things. Though for an actual thing, I suppose there's some weaker mech action littered through the show, though there ARE still some great mech fights. |
while I cant really say what I think the best thing about Gokaiger is I can say what I think is the worst
the mecha designs with Gozyujin, Kanzen Gokaioh and normal Gokaioh being the exclusions. all of them are lacking in some way due to the way they were designed to work. Magidragon is weak as all hell and looks terrible, Patstriker is just meh, Gaolion is really only there for the Shinken combo. Furai Maru is probably the most useful one out of the 4 as it can actually fight on its own. but really all of it comes down to the gimmick of the limbs opening up and the auxiliaries going inside the limbs, it really isnt a good gimmick imho |
Best is easily the characters and their actors. So much fun.
The worst has to be the mechs. The Gokai machines other than the GokaiGalleon just Russian doll out of the Galleon and merge. They never do anything else. MagiDragon looks very meh. It just feels too small considering the original MagiDragon. Patstriker is very lackluster. Machine guns are cool though. Gaolion is neat, but that's because I like him (I'm not a fan of his redesign, though). Fuuraimaru is cool. MachFalcon is meh as well. And Gai's Gozyudrill was rather boring. I liked his dinosaur mode, but not the other two. |
What Gokaiger Does Best-
Develop & use likable characters for interesting situations. What Gokaiger Does Worst: The Zords. Some of them look fine, I guess but most of them are hideous (and, in the case of 4 out of 5 Gokai Machines, POINTLESS). |

Not that it's not a fair critique, mind you. I think I'd just lay it at Super Sentai in general, rather than just Gokaiger. :) |

Best: The Carranger tribute episode. It was so WTF I couldn't help but grin.
Worst: NO ZYURANGER TRIBUTE EPISODE. :mad: |
Quote:
But there's like nothing connecting the character to their mech sans Red to the Galleon. I just thought it would've been better if the Galleon was the sole mech, like in MegaRanger. |
Worst: The mecha battles are rather boring a lot of the time to the point that I wonder why they bother every episode.
Best: Everything else. I look forward to every episode and have yet to be disappointed. Hell, I even enjoyed the show RAW. That's a first for me. |
I gotta say, the only thing that I really don't like about Gokaiger are the mecha battles. I find them a little boring, some stock footage, and same finishing attacks used.
|
Come to think of it, I'm not fond of the mecha battles either.
|
Best: Main cast for reasons already stated.
Worst: The villains. Something that's plague super sentai in general for the past three seasons have been the lackluster rouges gallery. Basco's alright but feels like a rehash of Juzo from shinkenger. The Zangyack are just plain boring. There was alot of potential with Baizarg but, they wasted it. |
Another thing I don't like about Gokaiger?
Seeing the Battle Fever J suits...Miss America is very cringe worthy. |
I admit to skipping some of the mecha battles. Especially the last 10 episodes or so ... I just wait for MachFalcon or whatever to appear and skip it. They should just quit calling the zords ... I'd watch another 3 minutes of the episode then.
|
>Best
The character development. The character interaction. The characters, more or less. I love both the heroes and villains. I'd buy an SHF of Barizorg if they made one. >Worst Filler. |
The best part about this show is how it pays homage to the past 34 Super Sentai series, with sub-plots related to the shows and special guest appearances by the former Super Sentai warriors. Plus, the characters are among the best in the series.
The worst part is having to deal with the fact that most of those who appeared in Gokaiger Goseiger Super Sentai 199 Hero Great Battle were simply just there, and we'll never get proper tributes to their shows. And I was really hoping to see the heavily-rumored Bioman tribute. |
I don't know if its the worst, Its totally nitpicky and the only thing that kinda annoys me. (Which just shows how good it is) When they form Gokai-Oh and the stock footage shows them in space combining. I always go, Why did you do up in to space . . . that seems a waste of time just to combine. :P
|
Don't worry, I've often wondered the same :lol
|
I think one of the best parts of the show is the villains. Sure Walz didn't do much, but that's to be expected. He did surround himself with some higher class advesaries though. Yeah, the monsters of the week aren't always great, but the main cast seems to have some clearly defined traits, outside ass kissing. It's nice to see them as more than just hangers on or sychophants.
I firmly believe the worst part of the show is Magidragon. He just looks so stupid as a powerup. Give me any of the other ultimate powers, just leave Magidragon on the shelf. |
