Zyuranger to me was just pretty boring when it wasn't focusing on an actual story like in the beginning when they had to gather all of their equipment, Burai, or towards the end of the show. Outside of those, everything else got pretty boring. There were some entertaining episodes, but a lot were pretty dulll.

I have to agree. While I haven't seen Zyuranger, Magiranger was just difficult to sit through. I dropped it because there just wasn't anything grabbing me (And, honestly, the only reason why I'm semi interested in giving it another shot is because Jin/Beet Buster played MagiYellow).

Sadly the fight scenes were a little underwhelming, I get that they need to tone down the sixth Rangers because otherwise the Gokaiger would die instantly, but who knew an army of ten Sixths could be so boring? I guess the director of this episode loved MagiRanger as MagiShine is the only sixth in Basco's arsenal to really put up a fight.
Basicly, Gokaiger is big on the 'it's the people, not the powers, that make the hero' line of thinking. Animated Ranger keys just can't compete with actual people. |

Actuall, Gokaiger makes it quite clear that any Ranger powers are nowhere near as strong as a Basco type summon then they are with an actual person using them. It doesn't matter if, for example, Eiji Takaoka as Bouken Silver would totally kick Don as GokaiGreen's butt, Don will always be able to beat a Basco-summoned Bouken Silver.

Also a shame that it's all about the people, but minus the Space Police and the Guardian Angels pretty much EVERY sentai has been the utter opposite of proactive, while people make excuses for Rangers who could clearly be helping like Kai and Flagel, GaoRed and his Power Lion, or GekiRed and his super martial arts and there are probably cameos I've already forgotten, as pretty much all of them beside the DekaRanger and Carranger cameo episodes have been entirely throwaway so far, other than when Kai forced character moments out of the Gokaiger.

There's not really an explanation for why Basco's summons are weaker than the real deals, just the simple equation of 'power+proper user > power used as a bad guy's puppet'. Basco's DiendTrumpet just can't get the same amount of power out of the keys as someone actually wearing the suit.
I was always okay with the non-fighting roles of the cameos because I figured the past Sentai had to have a reason for letting the Gokaiger keep their powers instead of just asking for them back. Especially considering that repowering the past Sentai is just a matter of giving the appropriate key back. Do you really think so many past Rangers would be okay with not getting their powers back if there wasn't some advantage to Marvelous and crew having them all? |

Well Megaranger 01:
So a video game based Sentai? I loved it! I don't know why I just did,,sure pacing could be better but, I came into this with lower expectations since Gaim came into my life. So a good episode and hopefully the rest of the series holds up. |

Anyway, finished 199 Heroes and now I really wanna rewatch Goseiger, I missed my favourite angels so much! Gonna put a more indepth review on my Letterboxd in the next hour or so, which you'll be able to find by clicking the link under my sig if you're interested.

I never had a problem with the rangers not being active after losing their powers. It's not like they run away from monsters, it's just that they're not on the front line anymore.
Concerning Basco's summons being weaker than the real thing, it's rather simple. The summons are just puppets. They make no decisions. They have no mind. They have a goal, they follow that goal. That's it. Of course the rangers would win. The summons have to rely on superior numbers and the OP-ness that many 6th/Other Rangers tend to have.

It's still a good series (I feel), but everyone calling it a game based Sentai is lying

Goushi did have development as was shown in the case of the episode with the plant monster who promised to help keep Burai alive to Geki. Dan and Boi were definitely depraved though. However, you are right, it is a flaw, but then, it is also common place as most of the time only half of a team is actually developed, so I really don't think of it as one.
