I don't know if this would warrant a new thread but hey, how would I know if I don't try right? If it isn't then this thread gets locked. Hopefully, it gets locked after I get an answer. And I don't want to read synopsis or summaries. I might read some plot-changing spoilers.
I just finished Shinkenger. Here are the seasons I've watched from best to worst: Best: Dairanger why? Because the characters were awesome. Plot was done perfectly. A lot of stoylines that lasts 2 or 3 episodes. My only problem with this season is Kazu or DaiYellow it too under-developed even though the character is very interesting. 2nd: Megaranger why? Because it's an electronic Sentai. I can relate to this especially Shun's character. One of my favorite Sentai ranger of all time. I love almost all of the rangers. Now, if say.. Shougo was MegaYellow instead of Chisato, this would have been the perfect cast. The only problem with this season is that their classmates are important in the finale but I felt like I didn't get to know them. 3rd: Gingaman This season was awesome because it had a lot of bonds between men. Father and son, brother to brother and male friendship. It's also fun and light-hearted. My only problem with this season is that there is no character I can relate to. I am usually attracted to geniuses or creative thinkers like Shun, Hikari, Tsubasa and Chiaki but there's none of that this season. I'd say Hikaru is the closest but didn't hit the spot. 4th: Toqger The mysterious plot kept me watching and the music was awesome. I'm mostly tuned in because there's another character I can relate to: Hikari. He's one of my favorite character ever. Akira is also awesome. Orange ranger for the win! 5th: Shinkenger Takeru. Chiaki. Takeru. Chiaki. Takeru. Chiaki. Pretty much the only reason why this season is interesting for me. Especially Chiaki. The cast is too unbelievable. Genta especially is too skinny. I understand if he was flicking wands butnthese are swords. You'd have to have some muscles developed if you've been training. Also, the second half of the season has no Chiaki-centric episode. Booo! Chiaki only had three episodes centered around him (all on the first half) and all of them were the best episodes of the season for me. However, this season was still fun. I enjoyed it to the very end. 6th: Kakuranger Why I rank this season higher than the other two? It featured Japanese mythological monsters known as yokai. That's pretty much the only reason why I finished this Sentai (and Sasuke and Jiraiya episodes from time to time). This season has a lot of bad points. Jiraiya, Saizou and Seikai are always damsels in distress. Saizou and Seikai always getting shafted. Too much Tsuruhime-centric episodes in the later part. 7th: Gaoranger This season is boring which is a shame because 4 of the cast (Kakeru, Gaku, Kai and Shirogane) seemed awesome. This season suffered from lack of character development. Worst: Magiranger Great Sentai for most of its run. Sungel and Tsubasa were awesome. This season succeeded in making itself feel uniquely magical. But why is it dead last in my ranking? When it reached 40th-ish episode, it crashed and burned as fast as it was building up. Heck, even faster. This season became cowardly. Characters just won't die. They either teleported at the last minute or gets resurrected. Snowgel was a bi***. Vancuria turning good and resurrecting Sphinx for no reason. To top it off, low quality green exists. A woman crushed his feelings on purpose and he still worshiped her. Very self-loathing. tsk tsk.. I have my sights set on 4 Sentai seasons. What do you think? 1. Jetman - I've seen the first 3 episodes of this season. Seems like there will be no amazing character I can relate to. I might be wrong. Raita might turn out to be like Shun, Hikari, Tsubasa or Chiaki. Please tell me if he has similarities to them. If not, if Ryo-Gai relationship will be anything like Kenta-Shun (Megaranger) or Takeru-Chiaki (Shinkenger) then that might be enough to make up for it. 2. Goseiger - It's the season I rarely hear people talk about. Might be worth a try. 3. Go-Onger - The suits look amazing. If only Go-On red's hairstyle in the series was exactly like the one in the Go-Onger-Shinkenger the movie, this season would be a lock for me. He looked so cool in the movie. 4. Abaranger - Aside from glimpse of Sun Vulcan, I haven't watched a 3-man core yet. Should be new for me. This is the best bet of the 4 since AbaWhite and AbaBlack seems badass. And I have a feeling that I'll love AbaRed. Please don't suggest Gokaiger or any season pre-90's. Well, I plan on watching Sun Vulcan in the future but only Sun Vulcan in the pre-90's. Gokaiger, I'll watch when I've completed like 12 or 15 Sentais. Last edited by LiamLee; 06-26-2016 at 09:34 AM.. |

Ditch them all and watch Carranger.
Because you get stuff like this.

How is too much Tsuruhime a bad thing?
I know you don't want to believe it, but she's the leader of the team. It'd be like complaining about too much Takeru in Shinkenger. Anyway, try Gekiranger. It only has one female member and a lot of the team gets developed. It also has a lot of development for the villains, too.

You should watch Sun Vulcan. Only season that's only men on the main team. That seems to be up your alley.
Gekiranger also has a 3-man core (eventually goes up to 5 teammates), but one of them is a woman. I know you're afraid of those, so it might not work for you.

Complaining about too much Daigo in Kyoryu is perfectly fine, though. Because there was too damn much of him.

In regards to Gekiranger, Ran/ Geki Yellow is appointed to leader at some point in the series. Thankfully (or not?) her role is not as prominent as Tsuru-hime’s. Her status is more of an “in-name only” thing.

Dekaranger. The answer to "What Sentai should I watch next?" is always Dekaranger. Even if you're asking it after just finishing Dekaranger.
