It was a really good final episode, it had some very epic and some very touching and heartwarming moments. Looking forward to the V-Cinema

Despite all the hate ninninger gets I still think this was a nice final and I still think it did good trying to be a sentai honestly. Though in my book nothing can stoop as low go-busters for me.

I don't understand why there was so much hate surrounding this season. I thought it was solid from start to finish, and it significantly increased in quality very late in the game. I thought this was a very satisfying finale to a pretty good, albeit, unique season.

Well... for most of us, our only expectation was for Ninninger to be good. And for many of us, it did not live up to that expectation.

I'm glad you brought up Go-Busters. I know I'm in the minority, but I really like Go-Busters. It has an engaging villain, the stakes for the heroes are very high and personal and effectively communicated, and the last 10-ish episodes put the heroes through the emotional ringer. Those episodes were dramatic and exciting and fun, and even though the show could be super uneven at times, it went out with a memorable bang. I go against the flow for liking Go-Busters, but I'm not going to accuse others of having expectations that were too high or unfairly comparing it to other series because they don't see what I see in it. I like it, and that's that. As for Ninninger, I was pretty into it for about 5/8 of the show. I would defend it left and right. It was kinda my thing. And then... the last 12 episodes happened. My thoughts on these episodes are well-documented in other Ninninger episode discussions, so I won't go over them again here, but suffice to say, I did not feel like they lived up to the expectations presented by the show itself. I felt betrayed. And doubly so because I was such a fervent defender for so long. Now, I feel like... Yeah, there were some great episodes-- especially surrounding the Chouzetsu upgrade arc, the Kinji werewolf arc, and the Gekiatsu Otomonin arc-- but they amounted to fuckall in the grand scheme of things. Like, stuff that I felt like mattered in the middle of the show was just abandoned-- plot threads, relationships, hints at world-building that should come in to play based on the show's own narrative just evaporated (or were shunted off to the upcoming V-Cinema). And unless you're subverting our expectations by giving us something unexpected, you can't just fumble all your stories and expect every viewer to follow along. I tweeted this a bit ago, and I think it sums up my feelings pretty well: "Ninninger, you're hot as hell and we've got great chemistry, but I don't think there's a future for us. Hope we can still hook up tho." Last edited by Kamen Rider Lucha; 02-10-2016 at 10:03 PM.. |

Basically what it came down to was that Ninninger had a lot of great ideas, but in the end none of them amounted to anything.
Overall, it was a fun season with a lot of good qualities, but it just wasn't planned out very well.
