The story of this whole decade of Sentai is the story of people saying "I liked Gokaiger way more than this", after all.
I remember when I then started getting into Kamen Rider after Kyuranger, and after my first season was Fourze; I decided to watch everything of the current season, Build. And a lot of my friends rushed to try and stop me, saying "that's literally some of the best Kamen Rider has ever been; that's setting WAY too high a bar".
And that response always sticks in my mind, and it's
kinda true with Gokaiger here!
Paradoxically it's a series that shows you how awesome Sentai is and makes you want to check out a bunch of other shows; while
simultaneously
setting so high a bar for characterisation and just Cool Shit happening every episode that it might make doing that difficult! ... I mean, personally, not completely true for me because that marathon ended up immediately including in order a season I love, a season with one of my favourite Toku characters ever, and my second favourite Sentai (Zenkaiger notwithstanding). But even so it did set my expectations pretty high! So while I didn't find the Go-Busters terribly bland it is a bit difficult finding them as endearing after a bunch of colourful pirates blew my mind; and it might be nice to go back to them with a clearer mind with the Gokaigers not too fresh on it
