I skipped Maria because she was actually sympathetic, but she's only 1/4th of the villain roster
I guess when Tran was a child, he could be seen in a more sympathetic light, though. As for Grey, I guess because his feelings for Maria kind of just appeared out of the blue around the end, I didn't really see him as deep or complex.

Honestly, though, I even have a little bit of sympathy for Radiguet? Just because he tries so freaking hard, is so devastated after every failure, and actually works to improve himself (a lot like a tremendously less noble Rio, tbh). Sure, he's a psychopathic monster, but he's also a little pathetic, which endears him to me slightly. (Certainly more than you run-of-the-mill Baranoias, Zangyacks, and Underground Empire Tubes.) I mean, obviously you don't have to find them sympathetic. But I do, and I think my feelings are pretty grounded in the series' text. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I'm just a sucker for noble villains, especially when romantic feelings are involved. You don't get a lot of villainous romances in Western media, but they're pretty frequent in Japanese kids' action shows, and I always enjoy them when I see them. |

Yeah, I'm with Matrix on this one, tragic is no where near what I would describe for Vyram. I love the show and the villains, but the only moment I could really say was tragic was when Radiguet was turned into a human. Of course, it's all ruined when he just randomly kills that girl and is back to being pure evil just because the show needed to get back to status quo by the end of the episode for the next episode writer.

It's a tie between Kakuranger and Shinkenger for me. Hurricaneger was great too.

- Gekiranger, which I'm tempted to call hands down the overall best Sentai I've seen so far. It's a truly wonderful series. It'd be quicker to list things I feel didn't work in it than things that did. I'll do it right now. Ready? Nothing. See? That was pretty quick, huh? Also the theme song is amazing.
If you're asking for recommendations though, it's Gekiranger all the way. I can't stress that enough. Go watch it. I'm probably overhyping it, and yet I also feel I'm not hyping it enough. Remember when I said Go-Onger isn't for everyone? Gekiranger is for everyone. You heard it from the man who basically loves every Sentai to exist, calling Gekiranger, hands down, the best series~

Goseiger, but I'm generally in for some more light-hearted and fun stuff, like Toqger, Kyoryuger, Ninninger and so on.
I think what all of these have in common is that they have a very happy-go-lucky cast and some very fluffy episodes, but they can go very serious when they have to. I also like teams that feel like family in a way, blood-related or not and I think those seasons sure have that. But then again, I enjoy most Sentai I watched, so I can have fun with pretty much anything. |

I usually prefer serious sentai and would watch the old ones before I was born like liveman, jetman, and dairanger for strong villains. Gekiranger was pretty good in this aspect. For sentai in the last decade, I think dekaranger, magiranger, and shinkenger are pretty decent. Gokaiger is just good for fan service. I'm fond of gobuster and toqger too despite people dislike their seriousness and designs.
