Obligatory pasting of my ratings sheet.
Sentai and SHT ratings have been dropping for awhile they need a very Japanese show like Shinkenger again to help boost ratings and DVD sales in my opinion. |

Gekiranger to low ratings? D:
That series was awesome! Anyway, I dropped Gobusters after episode 1. I usually give shows 3 episodes before dropping them, but nah. I didn't like the characters, I didn't like the Engrish, I didn't like the monsters' designs, I didn't like Buster Red's chicken thing, and I didn't like how Buster Blue and Yellow couldn't do jack shit to a monster until Red showed up.

Ratings aren't a good indicator of quality...

In the instance of Gobuster I think they are though.

Fair point.
But better ratings would've meant more Geki! Also DAYUM. Gaoranger was a ratings giant! No wonder they wanted to do a direct adaptation!

I stopped watching after the 3rd episode as well. I've scanned a few eps afterwards, mainly just for the new zords combining and Beet/Stag Buster. I'll check again when they introduce the power ups or whatever. So far, to me anyways, the only good thing about the show is Escape....

I think Go-Busters is okay. I'm not really invested in it, but I like it enough to keep watching. I like Masato, J, and Ryuuji a lot, plus it has some of the best mech work I've ever seen in a Sentai or Power Rangers. The show's biggest problem is that it doesn't feel like there's any kind of story; the heroes just wait for monsters to show up, kill them, and then go back to waiting. There's no real goal for the characters and it makes every episode feel like filler. Even cool moments like manually docking Gobuster-Oh or Ryuuji intentionally heating himself up to fight Escape (which was seriously badass - go watch episode 25) can't fully make up for the lack of plot.

Especially if you are on a channel with the words FOX in it.
Anyway, I still don't understand how ratings work. I mean, to me, 4% of Japan watching something on tv the moment it airs seems pretty damn good to me, especially when that does not account for people who are DVRing it and watching it later. Quote:
Anyway, Gobusters has become the biggest disappointment since the crucifiction. Okay, it isn't that bad, but it showed great promise because it had all of this new life to it, and then they just pissed it all away for gimmicks and filler. I mean, I was reading the episode descriptions posted today for liek 28-30, and they are events that should have happened 10 episodes ago. Nevertheless, the show is a giant mess with rangers that do nothing, villains that are not the least bit threatening or even put up a fight, a giant head that just whines even when he is given great advice by his servant (Enter's plan to just send an army of Megazords at one time), and a commander that looks bored out of his mind. Oh, and useless robot pals, especially Usada. What has she done to warrant her as a high point? Enter did more in his first episode than she did in 3. Escape is just there for fanservice to try to get people watching it since watching it for Yoko is one step away from pedophilia. Last edited by Dr Kain; 08-25-2012 at 02:24 AM.. |

its such a dissapointing show, i struggle to keep up with it because i can't find the motivation to watch it, its just so bland
at savcon someone actually told me they did not like akibaranger and loved gobuster. I wanted to murder them and their entire family right then and there i'm like, "really? are you just that boring?" masato, j, and ryuji are the only reason i even keep watching.
