Goseiger was a series that had the unfortunate position of being the series before the 35th anniversary and it shows. It appears that not much thought was given to anything. The actors were poor, the villans were uninteresting, the side characters were a joke and the overall theme was contrived. On top of all that the gimmick of the year was steeped in "useless collectable junk". Decapitated, robotic animal heads? Really Bandai?
But for all the negatives there were a two bright spots. Gosei Great and Gosei Ground were excellent mecha on their own right. Both units look great and they combine into an interesting and unique mecha. Sadly though, those two mecha were the only good things about the show (in my eyes). Everything else was fluff and primer for Gokaiger. |

Goseiger is a mediocre show, but I don't think it's a horrible show. I feel like it would have been better received had it not been in between two of the best Sentai shows, Shinkenger and Gokaiger.

I like it. Granted it was my first sentai but, raises shield, i don't think its any better or worse then Gokaiger.
Based off my understanding of Gokaiger and past Power Rangers series, it deviates largely from the norm. I mean how many series have an episode dedicated to discussing who the leader is over 3/4 of the way through the show? People seem to forget that this was a team just thrown together at the last minute. The tribes didn't particularly get along either. All of the gokaigers on the other hand were recruited by Marvelous and spent what we can assume is a large amount of time together prior to the series starting. As others have said,Brajira would be an awesome villain in any type of media and gosei knight is just a bad ass. The mecha, in my opinion are really cool looking and unique, well apart from miracle gosei great.. The miracle header power ups may not look that great but they created some of the coolest action scenes i've seen in any toku. And these are possibly some of the oldest mecha around too being something ridiculous like 10,000 years old, hence why they are set in stone and merge with modern vehicles. Having said all that, the characters are a little drab. I don't care what anyone else says, Alata is a bloody good leader, yeah he's all cheery and cheesy, but that boy never gives in and is willing to take a beating to prove a point. Hyde is also one of my favourite toku heroes, he had a good backstory, was a good strategist and was a bad ass with his bow gun. The other 3 i couldn't give a crap about really, same for Nozuma and his dad. So yeah, its not the greatest thing i've ever watched but its not terrible. Personally i think it has alot of ideas and motifs that require a little more reading into as they aren't explicitly stated. |

It's really not that bad. I enjoyed it fairly but it was a show I watched on and off again due to it not holding my interests that much. BUT the show has definitely got it's moments. Definitely has it's moments.
PS I do also concur slightly with the timing of the series. |

IMO What killed Goseiger for me was the Waterbottle Personalities of the goseiger. They had no personality and hell even the doctor character had a personality. Goseiknight was badass i will admit. but that alone could not save goseiger for me. the mecha were flatout boring, i did enjoy goseigrand however. The whole angel theme wasnt that appealing either.
The Header Gimmick was also a waste. i hated Gosei Ultimate. The Villains Were mediocre. i actually gave this show a shot to impress me the same way i had been impressed with go-onger,shinkenger ETC. hell even sentai that i had never seen before like magiranger and dekaranger (as of this writing ive finished magiranger and on episode 27 of dekaranger) impressed me more from the clips i saw. mind you i made it to episode 20 of goseiger before i gave up and i saw the last episode Goseiger is a definite pass and a fail of a sentai.... it should be considered a parody of sentai IMO

One thing I want to add. While it's great to discuss if people like or hate any series, make sure you try it for yourself. What a lot of people hate, you might enjoy.

Those two videos demonstrate what I have said all along: that Super Sentai and Power Rangers need to be considered as two separate brands and that just because Goseiger has a strong angel motif doesn't mean it can't be adapted for Power Rangers.
I have always compared the shows to Macross and Robotech. Just because one is an adaption of the other doesn't mean you have to be married to the original stuff.
