Yes, very much so.
The Druidons themselves are present and entertaining throughout the series, unlike average Sentai villains who creep around in their lairs until the last few episodes.
The frequent change between generals is very welcome; I was pretty surprised how "early" they killed off Tankjoh. Granted, they only introduced two new generals since, one of which was killed way too early, but Wyzul is super fun too.
And they mostly work because of one factor: Kureon. He's as much of a main character as any Ryusoulger and that's great. His constant struggle within the Druidon faction, his unique characteristics that play off every different general in a new fashion and his general persona are so well done.
The Minusaurs? Best Sentai-MOTWs ever. Like, not even close. Their "bond" with a host makes the weekly plots work much more fluid than "oh there’s a monster and this random citizen also has some problem too". Plus, the stakes early on with Towa and Bamba trying to solve the problem by killing the host were great. Not played out perfectly but interesting enough.
But the best thing: They finally got rid of the stupid ass "Make my monster grow"-shit. I hate that trope so much. "We beat the monster, some chick comes out after the same pointless scenes were the boss tells her to do so, she says her catchphrase and then the monster grows and now we call our mechs". It's such a dumb waste of everyone’s time.
Making the Minusaurs constantly grow while feeding off their host is a great way to eliminate this, plus, most of the times they Ryusoulgers don’t actually manage to beat the Minusaur before it can grow. I never understood why Rangers always had to beat monsters twice, it's just weird.
The only thing they could do better is the suit design. The Minusaur from the very first episode looked awesome, it reminded me more of a monster from Ultraman than Sentai which is a huge upgrade in my book, but after that they succumbed to the usual wacky random monsters. I get it though, designing and producing so many different suits is tough, plus, its kinda Sentai's thing so actual fans (aka not me) might prefer it this way.
All in all I think the bad guys of this season are great. Actually the best I've seen yet.
