The first Sentai I watched an episode of was my future darling, Gekiranger (But I didn't get into it, because I was unaware of it's greatness), and later on, Shinkenger.
I had seen the special with Zyu footage XW1n is talking about, and that did spark my interest some, but with no way to see it at the time, it quickly faded.

My first experience with super Sentai was with that Dino Thunder episode but my first official experience was with Dekaranger and I love every single episode.

I remember liking Power Rangers as a kid, but I only watched a few episodes and didn't remember much of it besides the awesome theme song. I also remember sometime later hearing something about the footage of power rangers being from Japan but that was it.
I was more interested in animation(western animation and anime) as a kid and even up to high school. Starting in college though my interest in Japanese entertainment grew beyond Anime and I started listening to a lot of JPop/Jrock, and watching Japanese drama's and films. Since there are so many drama's out there to chose from one of my favorite ways to search on a website such as gooddrama is click the info page to one of my favorite actors from a drama I saw and pick another one of their shows. I had been watching one of Matsuzaka Tori's drama and when I checked his page I saw a link to a show called Samurai Sentai Shinkenger the description of Shinkenger was this. Quote:
For eighteen generations, samurai of the Shiba House have suppressed the evil intentions of the Gedoushu, malevolent spirits that enter the world of the living from gaps between buildings and other structures. Now, Takeru Shiba, the youngest head of the Shiba Clan must gather his four vassals in order to battle the Gedoushu as the Shinkengers. However, as they are joined by his childhood friend, the vassals slowly learn that there's a reason for Takeru's behavior that sets him apart from his predessors
I defiantly didn't expect the suits but imediatly fell in love with the Shinkenger uniform. I loved the minimalistic samurai theme of the suit with the characters on the mask. I loved the fact that it felt like a modernday period drama as some characters mention on the show, since I enjoy watching Taiga dramas. Sometime after starting the show I did a google search, found out Shinkenger was part of the series called super sentai and the rest is history. Also the crossover Shinkenger did with Decade finally got me to take the time to watch Decade as well, since I had been meaning too ever since hearing Gackt's three Decade songs. Which introduced me to Kamen Rider as well.

Honestly, I can't say I have a defining moment of discovering Sentai. I remember that once when I was probably no older than five or six, my sister told me something about Bandai being a Japanese company, and that Power Rangers was based off of a Japanese show. I didn't care at all at that point, but I think I always had this idea that there was a ton of stuff like Power Rangers over in Japan. When I was 13 or so and I started to get back into toys, I'm sure I discovered Bandai of Japan and the whole Sentai craze from there. A few more years, and here we are.
My first time was just before finding this sight, to be honest. I found somewhere to watch Sentai episodes and decided to try a random season to see if I liked it. That season ended up being Tensou Sentai Goseiger, and we all know how that turned out. |

Well, my first experience with Super Sentai was the parody episode from Dino Thunder (my current favorite PR season), which I thought was just a funny and weird episode back then.
Just this year, I started watching one of the shows when my first laptop broke...this year? Yeah, I think it was early this year or late last year. Anyway, the first season I watched was MagiRanger...and oh god, I still LOVE that season, as you can probably tell. |

The first Sentai I ever watched was Go-Busters, and I fell in love with Ryuuji. My friends were into it because of Power Rangers and I was very interested in watching where it came from. I now still haven't finished Go-Busters but have Finished Battle Fever J and DaiRanger and almost finished Gokaiger. Also the liking of Sentai brought into the world of Kamen Rider and I've watched so many series of those this year. Also all this was this year.

We got some neat assed responses going on in here so far. I like it, thanks for sharing so far, everyone. That's one of the things I like about Toku shows, opinions, views and tastes can differ so much due to it's vast catalogue of shows and media. As opposed to hearing opinions and views from fans of like a movie trilogy who eventually come to a point where people will echo sentiments.
Let's keep of going of ya'd like and share any tidbits. Everyone has unique input. Except that Scythe Kid, he didn't even try. It's also nice to see that Sentai knowledge brought up Kamen Rider into their lives.

it was actually when i first discovered the gourai changer from hurricanger although i never watched it, i never heard of it, i thought it was a prop from ninjastorm and so was the brace throttle from dekaranger, it wasnt until i watched a scene in zyuranger on youtube with the dragonranger's first debut fight and of course seeing a scene when dragonranger hit the mammouth ranger in the jewels.
i did see the dino thunder episode when they were introducing the japanese footage of them but i didnt think much of it, i thought it was just a parady of dino thunder, i never thought pr was japanese footage until i saw the dragonranger fight. then i started downloaded zyuranger episodes with the dragonranger saga and i was impressed and i started watching boukensilver's debut in 2006 when i first saw his gear, then i started watching some episodes in gekiranger along with my gong changer to play with gekiviolet in some of his episodes. it wasnt until go-onger i decided to watch the whole series from start to finish and i havent stopped since, plus that was the first time my big collection habit started.

I don't really have a defining moment with Sentai, because I never quite got into it.
Power Rangers is a big part of my life, and one of my all time favourite franchises, so I've pretty much avoided every Sentai show which went on to become a Power Rangers iteration that has my heart. I attempted to try out sentai shows that were either adapted into shit Power Rangers iterations or were completely new stories to me but I never really fell in love with any of them. Probably the closest thing I came to really falling for Sentai was when I watched Shinkenger, but those middle twenty or so episodes are so boring they could probably turn you into stone and are the main reason I've never tried watching it again. The HUGE length of each iteration works much more favourably with the much more story and character focussed Kamen Rider.
