Alright, Goseiger episode 2...
So far, Goseiger isn't the most exciting of Sentais, but I don't hate it. Maybe things will liven up as I go on through it. Anyway, it's MUCH better than Megaforce's "He blasted me with science", but being better than Megaforce isn't a hard thing to manage. Megaforce is only enjoyable because of the slowly escalating acting skills and the cheesiness of it all. Goseiger seems to have more heart and care put into it. So yeah...kinda dull for my tastes but not bad at all, I hope to gain more interest as the show goes on. I haven't gotten very far either, but 4 is probably the first I truly enjoyed. |

Nah, Jetman's monsters suck ass and their mecha is bland as ****. I love Jetman, but it is definitely not anywhere near as good as DaiRanger. However, you are right, the team aspect of Jetman is well done too.

But to you nothing is as good as Dairanger so that opinion is a bit biased
Jetman is one of the most solid early Showa sentais out there. The design influences changed drastically between it and Zyuranger sure, but Jetman is still a very compelling and excellent show. Aside from more extravagant mecha and a 6th warrior I don't see much that sets Dairanger apart from Jetman. Don't forget that they do both have giant middle finger endings A repetitive cycle of battles that never end for Dairanger and Gai's random death in the last episode for Jetman. If anything there on the same level quality wise, though I personally thought Jetman was a better crafted series.

(Don't know why I'm spoilering all this, but I'll do it out of courtesy)
I never saw Gai's death as a middle finger ending. Sure I can see why people get annoyed about it but I really liked the element of realism it added. Just because you're a hero and saved the world, it doesn't mean you aren't human and still can't be struck down by some random tragic accident. The fact Gai makes it all the more poignant. Suddenly this badass whose taken shit from no one acknowledges Ryu as his best friend, makes it their wedding and accepts his fate. Gets me far more than some of the other deaths in Sentai.

Gai's death was really, really emotional! I knew it was coming, but it still got me! It was such a happy ending with them all moving on and being happy and then that happens..
Anyway, I've been watching more Goseiger and Gosei Knight has finally showed up. He really is pretty awesome. I know it'll be short-lived, but I freaking love that while in Megaforce he's like a robot Captain Planet with less personality, in Goseiger he's a freaking douchey eco-terrorist. Nice having the Goseigers actually fight him and fail to save the factory from him too, adds a little drama which Goseiger really needed. Last edited by Starscream Gaga; 09-25-2013 at 03:24 AM.. |

And I completely disagree. DaiRanger is the best Sentai has to offer. The rangers are the best team ever because they had to continuously work hard to be a team, it just didn't happen over night and stayed that way. The pacing is not poor at all as it is one of the, if not the, most plotted shows in the history of Sentai. Of course it is dated, as it was 20 years ago. The DaiRangers are normal people sucked into a war they did not ask for. They are not an organized military unit. They are not warriors who were friends thousands of years ago. They did not just suddenly become a team after 5 episodes. The DaiRangers feel the most realistic team because they are not one until the very end of the show.
I'm roughly half way through Jetman, and what I've seen of that, I like it way, way more. The characters are better and the villains are better. I got kind of annoyed by how long they'd hold out before using their Cross Changers, usually getting battered in the process - plus not all of the Jetmen exactly match up to the personalities of the characters, and the love triangle was kinda weak but it was still much more solid show than Dairanger.

Honestly the only good thing about Dairanger are the characters except for Douche Kaku (That's the name my bro and I gave him. I don't even remember what he's actually called lol.) Anyways yeah it has sporadic storytelling and had no idea how to use a sixth ranger. Also the ending with the villains just falls apart (quite literally too) with what they are and what the fuck is actually going on.
The Characters I find are totally awesome even with their own mini character arcs and rivals.

Dairanger had great characters and a good story but for all the build up the finale was a let down. So to me it failed as a series as a whole. Also after the first 5 or so episodes they didn't know what to do with Kibaranger.
