Oh , but you will miss all the excitement that....umm.... Nope. They team up with Decade? , the lightzord talks? ...The whole damn series is about the Red Ranger anyway.

Emily is better to look at then Kotaha. Stick with Samurai

They... team-up with Decade? .... .. Great now I have to find that episode.

They do. Now that i thought about it. It happens in his series anyways , so you really don't even have to watch Shinkenger. You can look at it as Alternate World Samurai Rangers.

Thats how I see Samurai now.

I wouldn't say Samurai and Shinkenger are "exactly" the same. At least for me it isn't. They change a lot of the little things and that makes a huge difference to me. The crossover episodes between Shinkenger and Decade were pretty neat.

I think a lot of impact of SS and KR depend on the order you watch them in. For some series more than others. Suppose you watch Shinkenger directly after Go-Onger.(the way it aired) I think Shinkenger would seem better since it's a huge change in tone. This is one of the reasons I think Go-Busters is doing poorly having followed Gokaiger. There is also the matter of personal taste. Some people are not super into Japanese culture and that affects how they view/enjoy shows also.

I'm not sure I have too many actual unpopular opinions. I did like Geki Chopper, whom everyone seems to dislike. With what has aired of Go-Busters thus far, I'm liking Goseiger more. I think Decade was pretty awesome too. Could've been better, but Decade actually made me want to watch more KR such as (Kiva, Kabuto, Hibiki, and Ryuki)

I think it's the last few episodes (44 onwards) that makes the show for everyone. It probably isn't as great as I remember it to be, but you know what they say about how people usually get their impressions from the beginning and the end. I thought Shinkenger had an amazing first episode and a fantastic ending, so it makes me kind of ignore everything else in between.

I say skip Samurai and go for Shinkenger instead. At least you'll have more emotions and better acting. Samurai just lacks anything resembling gravitas.

Shinkenger had great characters (even if it was mostly only about Takeru) but didn't have the villains to back it up. Doukoku sat around and did nothing apart from one or two instances. It wasn't until Akumaro showed up and started toying around with Juuzo that things got interesting.

also going bout the team up with decade i finished watching shinkenger before i watched decade and well i said to my self i missing 2 sinkenger episode and that how i like decade and kamen rider it thanks to that team oh and th eblack rx episode as well due to me liking MAsked Rider As A kid

I don't know how unpopular this is, But; The episodes from the end of Season 03 of MMPR, into Alien Rangers, and up untill episode 3 of Zeo, were the most confusing batch of any series I have ever watched.

Why so if I may ask?
