What is human about them? How can you even judge that when the combined screentime between Kazu, Ryou and Lin is about a whole episode?

Dairanger 37.
So this was basically three episodes, combined together. And to be fair to the show, it did a pretty good job of bringing it all together, although I would have preferred a villain with a cooler design than that stupid Pachinko Player. Also, hey, they remembered Kou was in this show! It's funny how his disappearance only further highlighted how shit the Dairanger's are and was used, perhaps unintentionally, as a plot device. It was also funny that the show itself seemed to forget as much as Kou did that this as all supposed to be a dream. This is one of the first times in the series I've seen the mech stuff decently integrated into the rest of the action. I mean it still looked pretty poor but at least they seemed to actually try this time. Especially when we got to see all the carnage that ensues from all the flattened cardboard buildings, I thought sentai never faced up to the complete disregard of human life in these battles, I was wrong.

Alright, instead of going on with Goseiger today, I finally continued Kyoryuger. I've made it to Episode 11, and I gotta say, I'm liking "Utchy". He might be my favorite character in Kyoryuger. Good thing they announced his figuarts toy the other day, I'm totally going to buy that.
Anyway, a particular pattern I've noticed is that for special ranger color schemes, we seem to be repeating Go-Onger and Samurai's patterns so far. The special rangers of Go-Busters was "silver" and a gold ranger, and now in Kyoryuger, we have a Gold Ranger who kind of reminds me of Genta. Maybe this new sentai will have a silver "Gosei Knight" like Ranger. |

Shin Mazinger Z showed the amount of lost lives fighting irresponsibly leads to, even Ultraman Mebius showed how fighting recklessly leads to countless damage (but in a less bloody way), it's an angle that is sadly underused in Sentai.

Everything about the mech stuff is tacked on, to actually recognise the carnage would involve them integrating the mech stuff...and that is like, effort man. Dairanger only has a handful of scaled sets, most of which rarely match up to where they are fighting beforehand, which seems strangely counter productive as they throw the giant stuff right into the middle of the henshin hero stuff, then give no impression there are two giant things fighting in the same place as the rest of our heroes.

Well, the problem with a lot of series's mech fights is that it's an obvious "To sell toys" moment. From what I know, it seems like the only recent series to have important mecha are Go-Onger and GoBuster (I haven't seen either series, but Go-Onger's mech played a large role in it's cross over with Geki, so I'm assuming it's the same in series, and one of the biggest praises I've heard for GoBuster is how it handled the mecha).

Go-Busters managed to make the mech fights integral to the show and for the biggest part it used the individual mechs instead of the combination, leading to more dynamic fights.
One of the things I like is that the MoTW and the enemy mechs are different entities, so it's common for the foot and mech fights to happen simultaneously. |

Kazu has had plenty of screen time be it with the drunken Tofu monster, the clone, being stuck with the mask of death, and being the subplot with Daimugen. Ryo has had massive amounts of screen time. Lin has been with Kous story line. |
