I am still enjoying the show. I know I am in the minority and that is okay, but I think the show is entertaining and it is accomplishing its goal; entertain a young audience. Its good to just turn off your brain and watch. And the dance at the end is fun as well.

I think for a writer's first time making a Sentai, it hits the basic marks of what a Sentai should be, they aren't trying to do anything TOO different, instead, they make a show that's fun to watch.

My prediction goes to the dad, actually. My guess is that Kinji succeeds in getting his powers back for him, and he becomes last ninja.

As for the show itself, I'm surprised I like it so much considering what the problems people have with it are. Even though there isn't a ton of plot in the villain department (focusing more on character development and Kinji, but that has been changing lately) it has been doing the monster of the week style episodes really well. I don't mind filler when it's done this well.

Personally I just watch a Sentai for the action, the comedy and the robots. I did so back when I was a child and I still do so now. If a Sentai has a good plot, that's great, but it's not mandatory for me, really. If I must have a good plot, I'll read a book.

Not to mention the whole setup for the big plot doesn't exactly work in its favor. It'd be better if it was a show that ran on for several seasons; it's one of those that could make it happen by doing stuff like bringing in more Yokai factions or something like that, with Gengetsu's revival being delayed over and over again by the loss of fear due to you-know-who.

...actually, I'd be down for another year of Ninninger after Juohger. The Q5-Q8 mecha could all become one gigantic throne for HaOh Shurikenjin to sit in while Geki and the auxiliary OtomoNin decorate the thing. But that's just me.

This is exactly how I feel; I don't look to sentai for an amazing plot. I watch it purely for mindless fun. And there is nothing wrong with that.

On the subjct of Nin, what episode is the DC blue ranger supposed to be appearing in? I'm on 37 and he has yet to make an appearance.

Hes right at the beginning of Episode 34.

So, if the Gobusters thing happens again, you think Toei and Bandai will go "yeah, you can skip this one"?

He was? Where? Does he do anything or is he just in the background? Because I don't remember them ever talking to him.

He's a civilian that gets attacked right at the very beginning. You can't really miss him because he's the only one speaking English.
