Yeah, the Ghost crossover is kind of lacking.
As for 12-15, 12 is subpar, 13 and 14 are average and entertaining, and 15 is pretty fun. Out of that bunch of episode Kain for some reason dislikes, the only one that is worth calling lackluster is episode 12.

I just found them boring overall. You're right, 15 is pretty fun, but the villains aren't doing jack squatt. Naria is absolutely useless as she does nothing other than put a coin in the monsters to make them grow. At least by this point Insan had the episode with Jealousy to her name in Gokaiger. However, everyone else is pretty much just War Gil 2.0.

The revived shocker monster was the only cool part about Zyuohger 7. They didn't even like team up to fight, they just took turns. It was stupid.
I hope the Ghost episode is better, gonna watch it tonight after work

I have about 5 episodes left in Carranger. The show is still silly as fuck, but the new villain introduced for the last 10-12 episodes adds a *little* bit of gravity to the Bowzock's evil plots. Surprised at how much I like where the Zonette-Red Racer stuff went. Better love story than Twilight.

Yeah, they did an excellent job with the Red Racer and Zonette storyline, which was funny because they were making a mockery of romance in these shows, but they did a better job than 90% of the romance in shows out there. |

One of my favorite things is when a genre deconstruction also functions as an effective entry into the genre it's deconstructing. Carranger definitely fits into that category.

Zyuohger episode 3.
I probably shouldn't be thinking too hard on this but for some reason this kept poping up in my head as the episode continued but Yamato's job doesn't seem like the kind of job that pays a lot so how was he able to afford that huge shopping trip at the start of the episode.

Well, he lives with Mario, right? So I don't think rent and utilities are something he has to worry about too often.

We watched another batch of episodes today after helping our friends move. We're now up to episode 28 and the episodes we watched have been fun, I really love the diversity with the ranger cast and that they are trying to develop them. Unfortunately, the villains have taken a turn towards the generic as they are doing absolutely nothing right now. They haven't done anything with Hineler being a former friend of Kubota's or anything. Also, Girell has been pretty bland thus far and both Yugande and Shiborena haven't done a thing.
My favorite episodes though are the ones with the killer moth and the Antlion. I just love the episodes when characters are constantly being tossed around between various environments. As for the killer moth one, I did like seeing how the characters dealt with the concept of dying even though the viewer knows full well they are safe. Oh, Mega Silver is kind of cool. I like the idea that he is using a prototype suit and he puts on a nice change of pace compared to the other rangers being high schoolers. The whole "You aren't allowed to be Mega Silver" aspect is getting a little stale though and for him being able to only stay transformed for 2.5 minutes, he sure seems to be able to do A LOT.

I've said it before multiple times, but I always found Yuusaku/MegaSilver to be infinitely more interesting untransformed. The humor between him and Kubota or the other rangers is a lot stronger because they're not in a fighting scenario, so they can tell him off a lot more.
