Yeah, that wasn't the best of episodes for Gingaman. But it's still an amazing series.
Anyway got through a little bit more of Magiranger and Maskman. I'm going to put Maskman on hold right now to gather my thoughts, but it's still pretty bad. Kiros was cool, but that's it. I will admit though, Magiranger has grown on me, it's not a great series and I wouldn't definitely count it as a favorite(it's actually ranked pretty low), but it's alright, I do get enjoyment from it.

In terms of maskman, I dont know why, but there's something about that made me like it. Maybe it was the chessiness of 80's sentai. Maybe it was the music and trends, but I found it awesome and I personally enjoyed it, especially for its concept. Magiranger, however, I agree, is ranked pretty low for me. The biggest issue being the team themselves. If they're not boring, then they're underwhelming from a terrible leader and characters that are just bleh.

I don't know what it is, but I feel like nothing happens in Maskman unless something major comes up, like the intro of Galaxy Robo or the Jet cannon/Kiros, it's just plain boring and so generic. I know it's beloved by classic fans, but I can't find anything extremely good with it. I think my opinion of Maskman is kind of like how people view Megaranger a lot of the time.
But I'll agree, Magiranger would've been much better with better characters and if they cut down on the unrelated, overused nonsense

I will agree that maskman doesnt really have anything happening in the sentai, probably a lot less than I thought, but I still think more things happen than in ninninger. And its funny about the flaws that you brought up with both maskman and magiranger because those flaws altogether were the major problem that I had with Zyuranger. I really feel like very little happens in Zyuranger and the characters are some of the most painfully BLAND characters that I've ever seen period. Like Magiranger, Zyuranger was a painfully average sentai, but at least magiranger had a little bit more interesting things than it. But maskman is okay in my book. I personally put it under jetman, liveman, gokaiger, and megaranger. Its tied honestly with shinkenger though. I say this because I skimmed through it a second time and start noticing more problems than in the first time around.

I actually prefer Zyuranger to both shows, lol. Zyuranger isn't the best of Sentai, but the mythos it built and ideas it introduced to Super Sentai were great. Not to mention I think it has some of the best choreography Sentai has ever had, thanks to the great Kazuo Niibori.
But yeah, the issue I have with is the characters. I will admit in Maskman I really do love Akira, Kenta and Momoko, but Takeru doesn't really interest me as a Red and Haruka is one of the blandest characters I've ever seen in Sentai, ever. And Magiranger they act too childish for my taste, aside from Urara and when Makito get serious they are solid, but Kai, Tsubasa and Houka are just eh.

When it comes to Zyuranger, Im glad you liked it, because Zyuranger has probably got to be one of the most average toku shows I've ever seen. I honestly cant blame people if they think MMPR is better because frankly, I do think its better. For Maskman, I do agree, haruka is like Nagi, extremely bland, though I did like episode 44? (I think thats what episode it was). and for Magiranger, I hated makoto. I couldnt take him seriously at all. Like I said before, I wanted tsubasa to be red as he is the one I can take the most seriously thus making him my favorite character in magiranger

Zyuranger's not great or really good, but it's kind of underrated. I think it's good, but it isn't as bad as people say it is.
I'm kind of indifferent to Tsubasa, I find him to be a jerk personally. Both Yellows that I'm watching haven't really impressed me.

Him being a jerk does kind make him more qualified for being the red. He's enough of a jerk to be taken seriously, but at the same time knowing that he wont brag about it like Kai or just stop trying all of a sudden to be the cool brother like makoto.
Zyuranger underrated? Not really, In fact, in some of the other sentai forums, people love to talk about it because of how it created MMPR and how its overall superior to it. |

Well, from what I've seen it's kind of bashed on for being too kid-focused and being boring. These might be true but it isn't as bad as people say it is.
I'd personally have Urara be MagiRed, she keeps her cool and has shown the most leadership out of the team.

The idea of Zyuranger being kid-friendly was already predetermined because of the fact that the previous sentais Jetman, Fiveman, and Turboranger werent hitting their target demographic, with the 3 mentioned clicked more with the teens and adult audience than the kid demographic that it intended. We got to remember that this was at the time when sentai was a family show and not a commercial that was literally meant JUST to sell toys. So they decided to make zyuranger and while it got the targer kids, the teen and adult (the other half of the family) audience just left and felt like Zyuranger played it too sade, which I heavily agree on. Also with the fact that the ratings werent that great, especially when compared to jetman.
Also there's something about Urara that urks me. I cant exactly explain it, but she just does for some reason |
