I'm about halfway through ZyuRanger, and to be honest, it's like the most mediocre Sentai that I've watched yet. Not to say that it's bad, it's grown on me, but I think that it's meh compared to the others that I've seen.
It did pick up a bit now that Burai is here, though. n___n |

I also think a lot of people might not like it because it follows Jetman, which is another one of the best Sentai imo. Quote:

ZyuRanger Episode 32 and 33: Well episode 32 was really good for both Geki and Goushi. I love the levels that Goushi went to snap Geki out of his anxiety and fear from worrying so much about Burai using his time to save them and even believing in what Bandora said was crazy; even grabbing Dan's lance was crazy; but still back to the main point Goushi dressing as the Black Knight and beating sense into Geki was brilliant and what Geki really needed. Also the scene of Daizyujin rising from the ground with Geki holding Goushi was totally epic. I also really liked Dan going to strike the flower to try and destroy it when Geki couldn't, I'd do something like that too.
Dan's focus episode was interesting, I love how he inspired the little girl to have courage. It's was a great episode for having a message like that because I have problems with overcoming fear and instilling courage in someone is great. Bandora is a real bitch for trapping two friends as crystals for millions of years. I think I might end loving Dan as much as I love Billy from Mighty Morphin for completely different reasons but I love that suit so much. I see that everyone else is talking about ZyuRanger here; well honestly I love it a lot right now I can't wait to see how it ends. |

Sun, Live, Jet, Dai, Mega, Deka, Magi, Bouken, Geki, Shinken, Gokai, Go-Bus and Akiba. It's not that I necessarily prefer the newer series, they just tend to be the ones that are actually finished translation-wise. :P Quote:

DekaRanger Episode 11: I felt this episode helped humanize Hoji and made me like him more. Also it helped learn about what he believes in and more of his motives, but failing that he brought in his friend who turned out to be a villain was great to see how it affected him. I really liked the final shoot out between them and how Hoji was more motivated and finally defeated him.
ZyuRanger Episode 34: I feel so bad for Burai but I understand that being couped up when you just want to help your brother and friends stop the evil that's going on you really don't care how much time you have left. I feel so bad that he lost 8 hours being trapped by Bandora but that is very good idea from Bandora to try and eliminate one of the ZyuRangers quicker. This episode had some silly moments to that I enjoyed as well. ZyuRanger Episode 35: Or Ninja Sentai ZyuRanger time. This was a very fun, and cool episode with Boi. I loved him knowing Ninpo and doing all this cool Ninja Abilities were awesome. The Tiger Clones with Six Tiger Rangers attacking with all that Yellow was an amazing sight. Very interesting episode, loved seeing them all in Ninja Outfits. Liveman Episode 14: I loved both episodes 14 with it's focus on Yuusuke and seeing what happens when he gets charged with electricity and can't touch anybody because he'll electrocute them. I really enjoyed that we see a bit of loss of faith in people with Yuusuke it reminded me of Gabura's from Akumaizer-3 and I enjoyed what Megumi and Jou went through to free Yuusuke by having the electricity pass through them. Also loved that Megumi helped bring back Yuusuke's faith in people because they aren't fighting for any recognition or any price, they are fighting to save the world from Bias's army. Also thought it was fun Jou was playing video games so that's why they didn't know about Yuusuke, lol I might have done something similar lol. Also Ashura making the new Shura generals is interesting, I really like Bias and his army because they are all geniuses so their plans are more logical and intellectual. Liveman Episode 15: I am so emotional from this episode I totally loved Hanako from his sillyness to his awesome courage. Seeing Jou and Hanako was fun, I like how he took in this damaged Robot and helped fix him. I thought it was sweet that Hanako gave Jou flowers. Seeing Gush actually attack was great I thought he should have attacked from the beginning he seems like he's more successful than the others so far. Hanako's sacrifice to protect Jou has me all sad right now, he was so awesome and glad he took out Gush's arm. Jou getting empowered by Hanako's sacrifice was great too and hearing he wants to protect everyone is awesome. I loved his Lion punch attack and the fight afterward was awesome. I liked the grave scene for Hanako that was one special robot. |
Seems this is the most appropriate thread I can find, here's the RAW of ToQGer vs. Kyoryuger The Movie:
https://www.dailymotion.com/video/k5...2as3p1?start=7 Someone must watch this movie because of... Candelira :lol To be honest, this movie is just above average. Also, it is just like the real version of Kyoryuger vs. movie. The plot is too simple that everyone should understand. For some reasons, they didn't insert many soundtracks which made the movie full of plain voice & sound equipment. However, there's plenty of good things. The scene of the ToQGers getting hurt from the Kyoryuger's pose is just as funny as ever :lol The kids version are cool, they got quite enough time to shine, I just want them to be casted in another future Sentai again :D It seems this is the first time the structure of Sentai Versus movie changed that much. The Ninninger appeared SOOO early and Takaharu got a weird Shuriken that even hadn't featured in the main show. Mecha fight is good, the Crows Train is so OP :lol . The action is kinda meh in the first part but did pick up in the second one. Helmetless rollcall for both team is just too good to be true. Yay :D And YESS, The Shadow Line combined with our heros in the final finisher, so amazing. I got a good laughing with Nero getting a shot of roll call part. Drive x Gaim movie's RAW should be rolling out by now, have another movie to watch is always welcome to me. |
Thanks so much for the link! Just watched and it was sooooo much fun! Though I guess people who didn't enjoy Toqger won't like it as much.

I thought the VS movie was good. Not nearly as much focus on Daigo as I expected

After finishing my re-watch of Lost Galaxy I thought I'd finally sit down and start Gingaman. And I must say, five episodes in and I am very impressed.
I really like the story they set up and the legendary feel it has. The whole cycle story is a fun touch and it works well in a fantastical setting. I'm curious though if they'll ever be an explanation as to why the group was chosen to be the Gingaman, and if only they can utilize Earth Power. I'm really digging the villains too. I love their backstory and the whole clan dynamic. To be honest though it's taking a while to get use to Sambash considering I'm so use to Villemax. The others seem the same as their Ranger counterparts but Sambash is such the opposite, little odd to get use to. The characters are very nice as well. Across the line. Yes some of them don't really have full blown identities (Yuuta, Saya, and Gouki being the big three examples for me so far), however for those with full identities they work well. If I had to pick a favorite so far, I'd say Hayate simply based on I like his outfit, and the green suit was always my favorite of the rangers in Lost Galaxy. However the one big thing I appreciate in the show so far is taking the time to explain everything. There's a reasoning for what the villains are doing on a weekly basis, there's an actual backstory to the Kiba Blades. Compared to Lost Galaxy where the show would just throw stuff at you without any real knowledge given to the viewer, Gingaman is doing leaps and bounds better than it's American counterpart, and only five episodes in. I am definitely loving Gingaman so far and can't wait to watch more. |

I guess I'm the only one that does not care for the ending theme to Gingaman.
Anyway, I watched episodes 19-23 of Oh, which are the first four episodes with Red Puncher. I was really hoping having subs would improve these episodes as it has done with others, but my god, nope, it made these episodes worse. |
I'm still watching Kyoryuger. It's the first Sentai series I began watching. I just don't get to watch that often so months later I'm only at episode 40. I've peeked into other series as well, like ToQger and Zyuranger. Still so far Kyoryuger is my favorite series. I'm so invested in the characters it's insane. It's way better than what they're doing with Dino Charge even though Dino Charge does have its own positive points.
I want to get started with a Kamen Rider series too but I have to decide what series I want to start with. I'm thinking OOO, or Wizard and save Gaim for later. |
Glad you like Kyoryuger so much! It's such a fun series.
OOO is a good show to start Kamen Rider with. It was my first series, too. Wizard is kinda hard to sit through so I wouldn't say it's a very good starting point. So yeah, go with OOO! |

I was actually watching Kuuga for a while but one of my friends said not to start there. He was right. It's a pretty slow moving series. I will watch it at some point. Just not right away.

But there are people who don't care about Showa. Then some people said start with Kuuga, because Kuuga is awesome and defined the modern Kamen Rider. But if you don't like that one? Ehh... Just watch whatever you want to. I started with Gaim and watched Wizard afterwards and I'm still here. Kuuga is a great show, if you like it, keep watching. If not, pick what looks promising to you. |
I found some old subs of Timeranger (by the same people that did the Hurricaneger subs I saw a while back) and I am only in case file 8. But pretty good so far.

I've finally, finally(!!) finished ZyuRanger and will now be proceeding to AbaRanger with high hopes. (:

Yeah, the quality is pretty bad. I am considering just waiting for Overtime to finish it and watching it that way.

I am watching shinkenger and I can honestly say that this and samurai are very similar except samurai's way more serious.

Liveman 11-12
Goddamn. Yoshinori Okamoto really just stole this episode in the role of Arashi Busujima, an underground thug that's way more brawn than brain. He is incredibly intense and imposing, almost outright scary. Really the MOW is just there to show that Arashi can instil fear into the monster and force it to become his lackey to rob banks. The monster here is able to turn people into apes, and I don't know what it is, but Toku Shows of the 80's loved using really cheesy ape masks/gloves that were clearly bought from a store. It looks about as good as you'd expect. http://i60.tinypic.com/10miesk.png The humor helps break up the scariness of Arashi without taking away from it, very good job. Really that's all I have to say about this episode. Nothing else is as great, you watch this episode for Yoshinori, it's entertaining as hell and they did a great job building him up as a baddie. Yeah the monster grows and the Liveman destroy it, but not at entertaining as Arashi. The episode ends with him being abducted, which leads into episode 12. Unfortunately I don't find this quite a good as the prior episode. Granted I didn't have a lot to say about the previous one, but that doesn't mean I didn't enjoy the hell out of it. It just that I don't wanna have several sentences describing pretty much the same thing "Yoshi being awesome." which inevitably are the parts that stick out most and you should go watch it. In contrast, I also didn't have much to complain about either aside from horrible looking ape-men, which doesn't so much anger me as make me laugh. This is a bit more 50/50 So lets start with the good. Brain army abducted Arashi, and makes perfect sense an interest would be sparked, given he beat the hell out of their monster and made it a slave. The scene between him an Bias is a bit of an interesting one, because you have two different types of crazy here. I was concerned that the main head honcho would be undermined by Arashi's intensity, so of course they have to make Bais intimidate him. Now, whether or not they succeeded in a believable manner I believe is up to the viewer, which you can say that about anything but I find it very true here. Regardless, this does have a very fantastic representation of the two different types of crazy they each have. Arashi is a berserker, like a mad dog, relentless. Bais is scary in that he is calm and collected and still violent. When Arashi gets irate with Bais' simple math questions, Arashi is up on his feet, slamming his fist on the console between the two and yelling. Bias never gets up from his chair, simply glares at him and cuts Arashi's face, and then asks him the question again, never changing his tone of voice. This, is a very good character scene for both of them. Bias has a desire to make Arashi unbelievably intelligent, because I suppose having someone like that be as intelligent as they are destructive could prove very useful. Mr. Stormy becomes super intelligent(and mutated into the being, Ashura) and then we get another great moment in this episode, with him being pitted against the greatest minds in the world each from a different field, while competing in a sick gameshow like fashion. Catch is simple; they have to answer stupidly complicated questions more than Ashura does, or they'll die. Two people die in the contest. Eventually The Livemen show up and rescue the rest of the scientists and such. Ashura beats the Livemen, badly. But then something interesting happens afterwards. He goes to rob a bank. Despite his great rise in intelligence, despite having been on a damn alien space craft and mutated into a demonic like being, his core personality hasn't changed at all, or even his pitiful ambitions. The Livemen figure that if his personality is the same, that also means his irrational hatred of establishments that represent higher learning will still be present. This is actually a great idea, unfortunately this is also where the episode gets way too damn zany for my liking. Yusuke wears a full Science Academy uniform as he, Megumi, and Joh, confront Ashura. Of course, this sends Ashura into a blind rage and he isn't able to exactly focus like in their previous battle. This is all well and good until Yusuke tosses his academy jacket to Joh. Then Ashura start attacking him...and then the music kicks in. This entire sequence is cartoonish, that's the best way I can put it. I'm sorry, this sequence is just trying way too hard. Now if there is something great I can say about this is that the action is really good, I just think the cliche music along with how Ashura acts really clashes with the rest of the episode, it really takes away from the situation, making it seem very loony toons-ish. Maybe that was the point, in showing that Ashura despite being such a threat has become a joke by his own lack of common sense. But I still feel it is more goofy than needed. It's so out of left field from everything else. Ashura lacks common sense, yes, and I get him actively going after a person representing something he hates, but he isn't that dumb to attack the jacket like a bull over the person that is holding it. And yes, they do use the jacket like a matador would use a cape. After that...thing, we get a rather good special effect of Ashura dive bombing into the ground, incapacitating himself. Then it's pretty much standard stuff. Fight mooks, team cannon on monster, revive, etc. There is a neat part where the monster x-rays Liverobo to find it's weak spots, and honestly that seems like a waste of a good idea on something that's just here to give us the usual zord battle. Indeed, the finishing attack is used on the monster as soon as this happens. Bleh. We get one final scene of the villains cursing the team. Maskman 1-2 Yeah... Alright, I've watched this several times, and each time I watch the first episode I always have a million questions about just what in the hell I'm watching. It's like they tried packing in way too much information while at the same time not really telling us anything. We start with a race, with one car pulling into a pit stop. We get a few glimpses of the cast, but mostly of Takeru, our Red. After a scene that really want us to see cars going around a track, with the occasional cut to a woman running onto said track, she falls because running in heels is bad. Then less than 3 minutes in we're getting bloody flashbacks, which seem to be all over the place...I think. One moment Takeru is on a bike going down a street, he almost hits a woman(her name wasn't given yet) peeking out from a manhole. He wrecks, and then we see her above ground peeking around a tree at Takeru. Takeru removes his helmet and smiles at her. The woman comes out from behind the tree with no shoes, Takeru is a bit surprised by this. Then the camera pulls back and we're in a park now, there's no bike, or street lamps, other cars. Takeru is holding an acoustic guitar case which he brings over to her, and it happens to have a pair of high heels within, they even have a gift bow attached. What in the hell is going on? Did we see one meeting take place and then another? Because it's shot like it all takes place at once, and they never have a change of clothes. Is the scene in the park like an hour after the wreck? Did Takeru go and get a guitar case and a pair of shoes? Was a scene transition in the flashback too much trouble to give some indication? The only thing I got from that is Takeru probably has something going on with her and maybe plays guitar. Fuckin' hell, I'm practically already lost at three and a half minutes in. So we get some villain exposition, and I've gotta give credit to the set design, and the monster suits. From a technical aspect it's quite good. I do think Underground Emperor Zeba is too busy, like SquareEnix ate Liberace and threw up kinda busy. But I like everything else, particularly Anagmas. Bravo to his suit actor, Takuzo Kamiyama. That thing could not have been easy to move in, yet it looks so good on screen. Then more things happen, which mostly just consists of the woman, Mio, warning Takeru about the villains and getting kidnapped.(Which is a pretty good effect) As the episode goes on I think it starts to become apparent why the story suffered in this episode. I think most of the budget and time went towards the effects and it cut into the writing. I'm not joking, I think they decided episode 1 needed to be grandiose in the effects department, which makes sense given this is the first sentai where each member has an individual large vehicle for the combining mech. But the writing suffered a lot because of this. It is a damn good sight I'll admit, the models and explosions are quite something, the super imposing is decent, the battles and camera work during them is great too, especially for the time with POV shots and the like, very ambitious. But good effects, fantastic as they may be, do not make up for a confusing and/or bare story any more than good sauce makes up for burnt food. When the heroes show up in their respective vehicles, I don't know who any of the people are. We spent less than a minute with them in the beginning, so I couldn't remember what the hell they looked like at this point or even their names. We Spent more time with them in the intro, and yes I know their names are displayed there(although they weren't subtitled, but that's G.U.I.S. fault) yet that's still no excuse for this kind of pacing. I can forgive a 30 minute show not explaining or getting everything out in that time, I don't need to find out about the zords, powers or their suits quite yet, and any sort of developments can and should be done over the course of the series. But maybe if they spent just a bit less time showing a race car going around a track, less on things blowing up(some of which is repeated), and not showing another flashback that was pointless(and will be shown again in full, next episode) then maybe we could have gotten some character interaction from the main cast beyond "You're on my foot" maybe actually recognize the characters behind the masks within the first episode, maybe get a good name drop for someone other than Takeru and Mio. Things do happen, but they're either fluff that should take up less time than they do, or is just confusing. Lay some ground before you start doing big battles, otherwise I'm not gonna be invested and all that hard work will be for nothing. Anyway, they defeat the Monsters of the week with the team cannon, and then meet up with their commander, Sugata. He tells them not to gloat over their victory and that they need to focus on unleashing their aura power. The final statement confuses everyone as to what he's talking about. 80s credit music kicks in. I wanna go back to Liveman. I gotta be honest. I didn't want to watch Maskman after this. This was frustrating to watch. Sure there were good parts and aspects. The action and music are good, but I can't focus to appreciate it. It all falls flat for me, and I have never been this put off by a toku. Usually my feelings are mixed at worst, which was the case with some of the early episodes of Zyuranger. Or it isn't bad persay so much as not my cup of tea, like what I saw of ToQger. This...this was bad for me. Really bad. Alright so onto the second episode. We pick up right where the last episode left off. Sugata demonstrates his aura powers to the team by floating. We learn that he has trained all five of them with the intention of making their aura powers stronger to fight Tube, which he is well aware of. Though the team seems to doubt their abilities. Sugata also addresses all five of them by name, thank bloody Daizyujin. We also get scenes of the team training, which means we see a lot appearances by our main cast. *gasp* We get some villain scenes of Zeba taking out his anger on everyone for their previous failure. Btw, I didn't mention this earlier, but Zeba is voiced by Seizō Katō, and as a result sounds awesome. Kinda funny though given his later role, guess he really hates Hikari no Senshi. Anyway, Anagmas comes along and says it would make more sense for a certain spy turned traitor to feel the Emperor's wrath. We cut to Mio in a cell, lamenting to Takeru, who can evidently hear her through a pendant she has given him, and vice versa. We get a quick flashback of the two in happier times on a beach, as Mio thanks him for the short but sweet time they spent together. She comes close to revealing her true identity, but is taken away before she can reveal it to him. We learn her real identity is Princess Ian and that one of the villains, Lord Igam, is her brother. She pleads with everyone that the people above are good, and Tube should be peaceful with them. Her pleas fall upon death ears and she is cast in a frozen state deep into the earth. Zeba decides it's time to strike again, this time focusing on the Masks. Some quick internal conflict strikes between the villains on if Igam can be trusted, given his sister's actions. It's decided the big brute of the team, Baraba, will be sent to deal with them. Meanwhile we see Takeru making a promise to rescue Mio no matter what. Halfway into this and we already have far more development and cohesiveness than the entire first episode. So four of the Maskmen go to confront Baraba, and are surprised to see the monster from last time be revived as a giant. Takeru gets called in to help deal with the creature, but he gets confronted by Igram. We get a short battle and our first henshin. But rather than stick around to fight, Takeru ends up giving Igram the slip since there are more pressing matters. He makes his way to the big carrier of the series, the...Turbo Ranger. Huh. In all seriousness though, this sequence is absolutely incredible. The stock footage of Niagara falls is a bit funny, but the model work and sound quality are too good for me to really pay attention to that cheesiness. Big thunderous rumbles of jets when the carries flies in, the way everything moves and launches out, the theme song in the background, the "Thoom!" sound of the vehicles combining. The production team put a lot of heart into this, and I'm not gonna shy away from saying this is one of the best scramble and combining scenes I've seen in Sentai, this is freaking gorgeous. The fight is short but sweet. We get get a gun, sword and shield shown off during the battle. There isn't a lot to go into with the fight, it's fine just short. Given the last episode, I'll gladly take that in turn for story. They get kicked around a bit, which is to be expected being their first big fight, but they pull through. Great Five finishes off the monster, but before the Masks can celebrate, a dark castle rises up, casting the area in darkness(more like day for night blue, but ya know) They try to attack the castle but are flung back. Credits! Goddamn this episode is so so much better than the first. In fact, I don't think you need to see the first episode. Just skip it, because you pretty much get everything you need to know in a first episode told here. You see the team commander, you see the team training, you get their names, if only once. You get the villains names and motives here too. You clearly see Takeru and Mio had a relationship in much better flashback sequence. We have some (if albeit little) character interaction, I know Aoi is the comedic relief from this episode at least. The effects are great and I was actually able to enjoy them here. No, really, what was the point of the first episode? Because the only thing it did that this one didn't is show that Takeru was an F-1 racer...which you see in the intro of every episode. There isn't a point to the first episode. This was fun to watch, I wasn't asking this and that every two minutes, I felt like I was actually seeing things of importance. This makes me want to watch more of Maskman, not ask "When does this episode end?" And yes, I have already watched episodes 3 and 4, which I'll post about...eventually. |
Well I'm going to give Kakuranger a shot. Heard a lot of good things about this series.

Go-Busters vs. Gokaiger.
Probably one of the better, if not best, uses of the "Good guys pretend to be bad guys to get something from the bad guys" plot, due to the fact that they get the hell over that in the first 20 minutes of the movie. Probably one of the best feature I've seen, too. The stuntwork was excellent, both the on-foot and robo action. The first fight between the Go-Busters and Gokaigers was so brutal and heavy it was like a technicolor version of Deadliest Warrior, except without some ridiculous asspull outcome. And that end fight with all the Sentai Robos... Good god, how is it possible to feel nostalgia for something you never actually experienced (Daizyujin and RyuuseiOh notwithstanding). Would've been great if Gai got to use some Sixth Robos, but I'm happy with what we got. And finally, more Yuki Yamada. Because there will never, ever, EVER be enough Yuki Yamada at any given point in time or space. |
Marathoned Zyuranger episodes 40-50 today and overall I enjoyed this season a lot. All the characters I love a lot, they got pretty good focus episodes and it was a great story and good ending. Overall this was a really fun season I think one of my top 5 Sentais out of all the ones I've watched. Kyoryuger, GaoRanger, Battle Fever J, ZyuRanger, and Gokaiger are the top 5 right now when I finish more I don't know how much Zyu and Gokai will stay there though. Geki is my favorite Red right now and that I come out of a Sentai with my favorite being Red is something different which is kind of awesome. Geki and Dan are my favorites but I love all 6 of them. A Very fun experience ZyuRanger is totally awesome.

I've just completed episode 30 of Kakuranger, and this show is blowing my mind.
Spoilers! After a really fun beginning where I was more interested in the wacky, Beetlejuice-esque Yokai than I was any of the Kakurangers, I found myself questioning whether or not this show had much to offer beyond being a fun/funny diversion. While I was certainly enjoying the show, I wondered if there was going to be any kind of overarching plot -- or if the whole series was going to be the random, unconnected adventures of a group of vagabond ninjas who travel through Japan while living in their sentient food truck. One episode after I registered my creeping dissatisfaction with that format, in waltzes Young Prince Junior and turns the whole show around. You guys, he is utterly fabulous. I've not seen a sentai villain so gloriously over the top since Underground Emperor Zeba in Maskman. He comes on the scene, and the main story of Kakuranger springs to life. Then the Flower Kunoichi Gang (aka the Hanarangers) make their debut-- and this evil, all-female sentai team elevates the story from a series that's fun-with-potential to sublime pulp masterwork. The Hanarangers' first big focus episode, I want to say it's Ep. 20, involves the lady ninjas summoning a literal rocket, which they ride, while firing actual machine guns at an unarmed 10 year old. And with that episode, my love for Kakuranger was completely sealed. But there was still something nagging at the back of my mind, something I didn't like. It was the lack of character development for our heroes. Up to this point, the villains were way cooler and more defined than the heroes. Which isn't a huge problem because the villains were cool enough to keep me loving the show. And then what happens immediately after that? The Kakurangers are defeated by Young Prince Junior and forced to split up to find the Shinobi Scrolls. And so far there have been 5 episodes in a row jam-packed with nothing but awesome, hardcore, tragic characterization for every. single. one. of our characters. The best of these episodes is the two-parter where Jiraiya kills the man who raised him to be a ninja after discovering the man actually killed his father! WTF, sentai, how did I not know something this awesome could happen in one of your series!? My mind was utterly blown. That brings us to today, and I'm on episode 30. Awesome shit is happening with Tsuruhime's dad. Can't wait how things progress! TL;DR this show is the tits. I love it more than I've loved any sentai show at this point in its run. I still have about 23 episodes left, and I already dread seeing this show end!!! People, since I'm loving it so much, please tell me what sentai series, in the vein of Kakuranger, I should maybe check out next. |
^What other seasons have you seen?

Quote:
The first 16 episodes of Jetman (lost interest, but would revisit) The first 20 episodes of Magiranger (did not like at all, not interested in revisiting) The first 14 episodes of Abaranger (lost interest, but would revisit) The first 10 episodes of Gekiranger (hated Jan, but would revisit... with hesitation) And I've seen all of Shinkenger, Goseiger, Gokaiger, Go-Buster, Kyoryuger, ToQger, and Ninninger (so far). As you can see, Kakuranger is the first "old school" sentai I've tried where I've gotten past the midway point. I'm on episode 33 and see no signs of stopping. |
Try Liveman for another older season or Megaranger. Both are fully subbed. Stay away from Sun Vulcan...it will just piss you off and bore you to death, lol. But the Vul Sticks might be the most dynamic sentai sidearm in the series' history.

Well, I've watched Gokaiger and Kyoryuger, and made it almost 40 episodes into Zyuranger (but lost interest for some reason, though I will go back and finish it) just finished ToQger. Had my doubts, but this season was pretty enjoyable! Makes me sad about the possibility of it being skipped for a PR series.
Now I'm going to start Ninninger. I watched the first episode, and actually enjoyed it! As much as I like ToQger, I'd really like to see a Sentai with more action, so I'm looking forward to Ninninger! |
I am watching magiranger and it is pretty good. I just got to when magishine debuts and he is way more of a playful teacher than Solaris Knight was. Also Nae and Mare are hot.

Liveman is a pretty good season and Megaranger starts somewhat weak but gets pretty good over the course of the show. Sun Vulcan... I'm currently watching Sun Vulcan and still nothing in it caught my interest for more than like one or two minutes. |
Yeah, the early 80s sentai were not quite easy to get into for me as well.
Personally starting with Bioman things started to take shape. |
I enjoyed Bioman. I thought the Red ranger was a good leader, but there wasn't a ton of focus on him and every other ranger had some development (although not a ton). Pretty good season I thought. Not my top five, but still pretty good.
