I don't understand why so many sentai fans are so in love with that show?
Is it the first time that they used samurai sentai theme or is it something else? |

It is the first time they did a samurai theme, and it is a good show with a strong ranger cast, but yes, it is way over hyped. If you are new to Sentai, it is definitely one the better ones to watch first. If you are not, it doesn't really do anything too new other than pile up the mecha on top of each other even greater than what was done before.
It might also help that it came after the abysmal Go-Onger. |

I don't hate the show guys, I just want to know the reason behind the hype. Personally in my opinion Shinkenger was like the Jetman of the 2000s in terms of huge fanbase, also have the same personalities.

It's simple.
It took things more seriously after Go-On, add in Power Rangers' resurrection with massive advertising sparking interest in the original Sentai (Since every smart ass from the 90's couldn't shut up about "Hey, did you know Power Rangers is Japanese footage with new American scenes? Because I did."), and very easy to find subs. So older Sentai fans itching for something serious got what they wanted and praised it, a variety of new fans hot off the heels of Saban and Nick's nonstop advertising got to see Sentai for the first time (And many value their first series as 'one of the best'), so they praised it for introducing them, and then just add in a dash of decent designs for rangers, mechs, and monsters, and yeah. You got yourself an overhyped blast.

It had chanbara action choreographies, casting was really well done, and the utilization of kanji throughout the show from the visors to the henshin and to the origami summoning was fun to watch.
