Hellllloooooooo Zawame Cit... err, Tokunatioooooooooonnnnnnnn!!!!!!!
Well, 2016 is ending, so thought I would like to open a thread where we can all reflect and share what was the best and worst about Super Sentai. So pull out whatever database you have of all 40 teams and get to typing! Here are the categories below: Dobutsu Sentai Zyuohger: The 40th team to protect the Earth using the right of the champion, this team consisted of two humans and four anthropomorphic beings called zyumans from a secluded civilization called Zyuland and protected Earth from the evil Ginis and his Deathgalien hunters. How have they fared? Share with us one good thing about the show and one bad thing about the show! You MUST STATE ONE GOOD AND ONE BAD. Re-watch: Before Zyuohger we had 39 other teams that guarded the Earth. Which team still stands the test of time and which does not? The Spandex: No Other Heroes look good in spandex than Super Sentai. Share with us which team's suits as a whole are the best and which do not even qualify as clearance sale material. Henshin Device: Which henshin device is the best and which should be chucked into the compost heap from Waterworld for all of eternity? Weapon: Share with us which weapon within Super Sentai is the best crafted and which feels like a cheap toy. The Robutz: Which massive cluster of justice is the best at what it does and which massive clutter of fail should have its blueprint scrapped? Villains: Now for this I want to emphasize tell us which villain organization is still the best despite their shortcomings and which one is nothing but a bunch of amateurs. Merch: For this I would like to know which merchandise that came out this year from Super Sentai was the best and which one was the worst. Merch that was announced but not sold this year does not count and previous years also do not count. Team-up: Sometimes teams from different pasts gotta merge as one. Which two teams were the best and which were not? The Battlecry: Which Opening Theme and Ending theme are the best and which just make you bleed from your ears? First Impressions - Uchu Sentai Kyuranger: It has not aired yet but we have gotten a slew of pics and basic info about the show. What do you like and hate so far? RULES 1. Please only select one good and one bad for each category. Don't just say I got nothing. 2. No "EVERYTHING IS AWESOME" answers. just one good and one bad. 3. select only one team or one person depending on the question. NO LISTS. That would be much appreciated AND HAPPY NEW YEARS.

I'm a sucker for lists, so let's morphing
Dobutsu Sentai Zyuohger: GOOD: Misao bringing something fresh to the idea of a badass 6th ranger atoning for his actions while evil. Such a massive dork that it's glorious~ DA BAD: The villains took too long to really get moving. Bunglay briefly shook things up, but he too kind of grew bland. Re-watch: GOOD: Gekiranger. It will always stand the test of time simply due to being unique in a sea of rainbows. DA BAD: By default, Gingaman. It's not really bad, to be honest, but it's so bland that it just becomes difficult to want to watch. The Spandex: GOOD: Kakuranger is beautiful minimalism. Despite being 4 colors (And their blue being one of the brightest shades possible), it captures the ninja look by not overcomplicating their designs. DA BAD: Fiveman's outfits are kind of dumb. Henshin Device: GOOD: FLASHLIGHTS THO DA BAD: I love Zyuohgers, but the Zyuoh Cubes are kind of silly Weapon: GOOD: Still love the EagRiser DA BAD: Those dinky cube gunswords look kind of dumb The Robutz: GOOD: KAKURE DAISHOGUN DA BAD: Jet Icarus needs a lot of work Villains: GOOD: Junior/Gashadokuro from Kakuranger is easily one of the best DA BAD: Daimaou is kind of shit, though Merch: GOOD: Minipla Cube Animals are awesome and I want more! DA BAD: DX Cube Animals are kind of not worth the $60+ they charge Team-up: GOOD: ZyuohXGokai was a pretty fun team up, though not perfect DA BAD: The Gingamen are bland but likable. The Megarangers are bland but likable. This crossover is just bland and boring, though. The Battlecry: This never really interested me. First Impressions - Uchu Sentai Kyuranger: GOOD: Starting off with 9 rangers is a pretty bold call, and the suits are pretty nicely designed~ DA BAD: I'm anticipating a lot of bland characters because Sentai has a hard time juggling 6 characters, with 1 being introduced 15-20 episodes later. 9 from the get go might mean some might just be left with one episode and nothing else...

2016 was a decent year for Sentai. I got my Kakuranger DVD and getting Ohranger was a nice bonus (especially since I enjoyed the show more while binging it).
Zyuohger has been the best Sentai series since Gokaiger, but it still has had its ups and downs. The teens were pretty brutal, but then things got better with The World, only to go back into mediocrity after Banglay's debut. Then it improved again after his final battle. The biggest issues are that the villains are just flat out boring and the mecha sucks. Rewatching Liveman was painful though because the series was no where near as good as I thought it was when I watched it back in 2004. Oh, and Ninninger's final episodes were dreadful. That is really the extent of Sentai I had this year minus the various Dairanger episodes I watched. So everything I have to praise goes to Kakuranger and Dairanger. |

Ninninger's penultimate episode was especially bad. I think it left less excited for the final episode than any other penultimate Sentai episode.

Dobutsu Sentai Zyuohger: Good: The characters, or at least the good guys, are great this year. The interactions, the comedy, Misao, it's really nice to actually like all 6 of the team after the sentai that shall not be named. Bad: The Mech, while they've grown on me a bit, still look pretty goofy. Plus not enough Larry. Re-watch: Only thing I rewathed this year was the Go-Busters return special, and yeah, it's still great. The Spandex: My favourites are probably the Dekaranger/SPD suits, for looking suitably police-y while also being cool. DekaMaster gets a special plus here. Worst is probably the ToQGers. They grew on me... but they still look kinda plain and bad. Henshin Device:Best is the Quantum Morpher>I-Don't-Know-The-Timeranger-Name-so-sue-me, Worst goes to the ZyuOh ZA WARUDO Torch. The Robutz: The Go-Busters mech are still a delight, even after all these years, and in disguise as Go-Buster Animal. Worst goes to ZyuOh Wild. I forgot that even existed until they used it again a few episodes ago. Villains: No best one here, because none I saw deserved it, but worst goes to Ninningers. One of the worst parts of the show, except for Kyuemon, conversely, was one of the only good things. So I guess he wins. Merch: Didn't buy any, so don't know Team-up: Zyuohgers + Gokaigers was brilliant, both as a crossover and for working into the Zyuoh plot. Ninning Vs ToQ was good as well, but not as good. The Battlecry: Best: Go-Busters Opening #1 Worst: Ninin Ending First Impressions - Uchu Sentai Kyuranger: It has not aired yet but we have gotten a slew of pics and basic info about the show. What do you like and hate so far? Good: The designs look great, and Nine ranges from the beginning should be interesting to see Bad: Some of thse guys are going to get less development than Sam from SPD, aren't they?

Zyuohger is the most weak anniversary season ever.

Dobutsu Sentai Zyuohger:
Good: There's a lot, but for one that stood out, a crossover with a team I actually like and it happens to my favorite team, the Gokaiger. Any crossover that puts to teams that I really like together and remembers to have fun is great in my book. Bonus points for being a major plot episode to. Bad: Zyuoh Whale's cannon thing. It's not a bad design, I'm just annoyed that Yamato now has this gun glove stuck on his hand that's only for finishers. I had to reach to find a bad for this one. Re-watch: I don't re-watch much toku-oh wait! I did rewatch Gokaiger this year right before ZyuOhger started. It's still wonderful. The Spandex: Best: Zyuoh Eagle. Sometimes simple works and the Zyuohgers are good example of that. What puts it over the top are the wings. Jetman wishes they had wings this cool looking. Worst: Whatever that castle upgrade suit was in Ninninger. On Red it's fine, but they used it on other rangers and it looks awful. Henshin Device: Guess I'll cheat and use the re-watch. Mobirates. It's great and it's been great for 5 years. Weapon: Best: Zyuoh Eagle's chain sword. Very classic Sentai sword with the added Worst: Zyuoh Whale's cannon thing. See Bad for Zyuohger. The Robutz: Best: Cube Octopus. I'm not completely sure why. The wings and helmet just seem to add something. Worst: Cube Giraffe, I guess. A lot of the cube mecha are unimpressive. Villains: Best: An easy one! Bunglay is freaking awesome. Pirate villains are great, but Bunglay stole the show with his memory foam hand. I really like the use of that ability. Worst: Ninninger. Because Ninninger. Merch: ...I don't think I bought any...oh, Figuarts MMPR Blue. That's close enough to Sentai. Team-up: Best: Zyuohger and Gokaiger. See Good Zyuohger. Worst: Ninninger vs. ToQger. Because Ninninger...honestly, it was just forgettable. I'm debating on if I watched the full movie it's so forgettable. The Battlecry: Best: Zyuohger. I like the role call part. Worst: Ninninger. Because Ninninger. First Impressions Good: Head writer is Shibasaki Takayuki, the guy that wrote the best crazy Gaim crossover episode and other solid episodes from a few shows, so I'm interested. Best part is he isn't Riku Sanjo! Bad: Doesn't seem like the gun morpher comes off the arm and it looks awkward to use. Hope that's not the case in the show itself.

Dobutsu Sentai Zyuohger:
Good: While I haven't finished it yet I'm in love with it Everything from the suit designs to the mecha and weapons I've loved it all....most of it. Bad: The Deathgaliens are bland. I said it. Bungalay changed it up but then he kinda just faded out. Re-watch: while I havent re-watched I did watch the first 15 Episodes of Abaranger and man was that awesome...I need to go finish that here soon. The Spandex: Best: ZyuohEagle/Gorilla/Whale is awesome XD The fact that a red has three separate forms each lining up with the three sections of animal sentai (Earth Water and Sky) Just makes it cool and the changing helmet is one of two things I like about Zyuoh TheWorld Worst: As much as I like him as a character I dont care for the suit much save for the helmet. (Which is awesome) If his suit changed like Yamato's does then I might be a bit more inclined to say I liked it. Henshin Device: The Champion Symbol is my favorite even though the flashlight was creative as hell I just like the whole Rubik's Cube vibe the Champion Symbol gives off. Weapon: Best: EagleRiser Hello....Chain Sword I swear if he had a snake form Id be calling it Zabimaru. Also human weilding a whip-like sword and the rest are all animal like....I love the hints they give XD Worst: That weird Fly Fishing Rod that TheWorld uses yeah it can be three weapons but its a freakin fishing rod for crying out loud. The Robutz: Best: Zyuoh King Is simple and awesome in its design nuff said Worst: Shurikenjin it looks like a glorified throne with arms and legs and its rediculous. Villains: Best: Bungalay was my favorite by far. Worst: Genis is so bland and there has been little to no character development for him other than "I'm sick and twisted and evil because I created a blood game hahaha" His design is alright but nothing too awesome Merch: unfortunately nothing Team-up: Best: Zyuohger X Gokaiger easily the best dang thing ever XD 1999 and 2000 episodes and both of which were awesome! and main story pieces too! Worst: Nininger Vs ToQger I didnt really care for either team so it was rather pointless for me The Battlecry: Best: Zyuohger by far Worst: Nininger was okay but I'm an animal sentai guy myself XD First Impressions Well Kyuranger is certainly making waves and I wanna try and watch it weekly if I can.
