I'm just mentioning the ratings dip that has been happening

I don't see grunt from this thing, i like how it looks but it feels more like a monster of the week.

Ratings and quality don't always have a direct correlation. Some series that have been regarded as "Sentai at it's greatest" has had some gawd awful ratings.

Ratings have been falling since Gaoranger dude. Check the ratings some time rather than making generalizations.

I have checked the ratings & I saw that there was a peak at Shinkenger & then the fall (plus, no one mentions a ratings dip until Shinkenger; not Goaranger)

I'm thinking that a good story just generally speaking for the viewers watching the show; that might be a reason for a ratings dip that has been happening these last few years

A ratings dip is happening because less people watch a TV show when it actually airs these days. Ratings don't account for those who DVR the show or for those who watch it online.

Ratings drop because we have fewer kids watching the shows then we did 10-20 years ago. Not to mention people these days seem to be less interested in TV Toku shows. I have notice on Japanese forums and sites that older fans don't seem to care for newer shows that much. I remember one person on 2chan said that Super Sentai stop being good after 2002.

that may be true (though some of that "watch it online" is also with us in other countries); just hearing of the ratings dip, my first thought is "Super Sentai must be getting uninteresting." Not anything about taping the show or watching it later on the internet, hence why I said that about the story.

no need to remind me that :P (not quite as jokingly, you're accidentally reminding me of a little turf war I have with my girlfriend about Kamen Rider)
