That's not always a good thing, though. It is possible for such revelations to come too late.

I dunno, I felt it wasn't until like midway through when OOO really revealed what it was all about - and when watching a show weekly that may very well be too late if you aren't feeling that first half, I was lucky I could watch half of OOO in like three days. And I personally felt Attack on Titan was a massive directionless mess.

And who said I thought it was good? This was just a statement on a fact. It's Kobayashi's writing style.

Fair enough.
I was just saying it specifically as a counter to Shinkenger because I dropped it halfway through out of boredom.

The middle of Shinkenger is SO BORING. Like you could easily skip about twenty episodes of that show, it's ridiculous. And even then you'd have to suffer through Genta and no one should do that.

Yeah...It was painful how little happened during the middle of Shinken. I wanted to make it to the end and see Princess ShinkenRed, but the series itself just doesn't hold my attention. I'm surprised I made it those 20-25 episodes on my first viewing without quitting. :lol
I definitely hope ToQger is a lot more interesting.

Oh god, Genta. He was one of my least favorite 6ths in either franchise, PR or Sentai...

Not only was Genta fucking awful anyway, he was completely out of place in Shinkenger. And he was so fucking loud and obnoxious, it was like trying to watch your favourite film while your kid brother screamed over the top of it for your attention. I fucking despise ShinkenGold.

I finished Shinkenger once, because of Juuzo, and have wanted to watch the show again but every time I remember the middle section I just immediately recoil in horror. Maybe someone could do a revised episode list like Kamen Rider Lucha did for Kyoryuger? He really made Kyoryuger enjoyable for me but condensing it to a greatest hits album.

But honestly I just want ToQger at this point to be bearable, it doesn't even have to be good. When I was watching Kyoryuger without the hindsight to know when filler was coming so I could skip it, I found the show unbearable by the tenth episode. So if I can still tolerate this by the twenties it'll be a success for me, even if it is awful.

It'd be pretty interesting to see Shinken with all the BS cut out :lol

For ToQger, I want it to be interesting over anything else. I'd much rather a show try something new and fail, like GoBus, over a show stick to routine and take no risks at all, like Kyoryu.

I'd love that too.

I wish someone would curate every Sentai series for me. Because there will be, without fail, at least 20 episodes that actively detract from enjoying a series.

If I had more time on my hands, I'd start a blog that indicated which episodes of which series are skippable (i.e., bad filler episodes that neither illuminate the plot nor the characters).

Unfortunately, the reason I want these lists are because I don't even have time to watch full Sentai series these days. :lol


EDIT: If anyone's reading this and wants to curate Maskman or Megaranger for me, I'd be grateful forever!!! :)

Shinkenger is one of my absolute least favorite sentai ever. I will likely never watch it again. Takeru is a cardboard cut out of a person and Genta is the most obnoxious joke of a 6th ever. Those two things alone make me detest the show. I could list things all day I hated about Shinkenger. A lack of energy being one, something which ToQger has in spades.
