-Clusterbutter zords are the best parts of Sentai. The more ridiculous-looking, the better. To me, that exemplifies all of the Sentai's ability coming together in one blow. It's far better than the usual, "Oh, this new guy just kinda clips to the back of our mech... and you have to leave three of the five original zords off to the side... where they do nothing". That's why I love Gobusters' zords.
-Pretty boy Riders > Manly Riders (I know, I know, it's called Kamen Rider for a reason, but still.)
-Gokaiger is boring, the characters are bland, and don't even get me started on the mecha.
-Tsurugi should have been the main character of Kabuto, screw KaGAAAmi.
-RPM is one of the only Power Rangers series that's actually palatable.
-The original Power Rangers are probably one of the most overrated bits of hype to ever come out of the 90's.
-IXAcise is probably the best thing Nago had to contribute to Kiva.

I don't think I could agree any more
Oh my god I couldn't agree more

Also, all Voltron style mecha are poorly designed and they shouldn't waste stock footage on it's combination sequence.

Can we include toys here? Because seriously, Figuarts and SRCs and all those are awesome, but vinyls are just as awesome, but for different reasons. They're more affordable (when they come out, at least), and far, far more durable. There's very little things in life more satisfying than being able to chuck Showa Mechagodzilla against a wall and have him come away with not so much as a scratch.

2/3? That whole show was pretty damn good. The back and forth from the past and present coupled with Wataru evolving into a stronger character made that show great. The final episode is one of my favorites in rider history.

Just thought of a doozy:

Kiva Emperor is one of the few final forms that looks good and actually makes sense as a progression of the original design.

Jin and J are pretty awesome too.

The reason a lot of people were bashing on it was because it wasn't Gokaiger. A lot of people loved Gokaiger so they felt anything after it wasn't going to be able to live up to it. Some purely because of the supposed Sentai rule every 2nd Sentai series is going to be bad (Go-Buster, Goseiger, Go-Onger, Boukenger, etc...)

With Go-Buster specifically, a lot of people were thrown off by the use of "It's Morphin' Time". They were afraid Sentai was going to turn into Power Rangers, and they instinctively hated it. As the series went on, most people realized it wasn't as bad as they thought, but a lot of people just couldn't get over the negative image they had created based on a few bits of information here and there.

Once Otoya became far more serious, the love triangle formed, and Wataru became a dick, it just wasn't as good as earlier.

To be fair, a lot of people thought Gokaiger was good...
Expecting them to be rational was thrown out the window a long time ago.

Meanwhile, I hated Gobuster because I didn't feel like giving it another chance.
