This pretty much sums up my feelings on Zyuranger too.

Seji Takaiwa was only Dragon Ranger during his last appearance in the show. Yasuhiro Takeuchi was the main Suit Actor for Dragon Ranger :)

Of fun note though, Geki's actor Yūta Mochizuki was also in Jetman as one of the Neo Jetman and also played the lead in Kamen Rider J.

Not just that he also played Tuxedo Kamen in some of the Sailor Moon musicals. So did Tachibana/Kamen Rider Garren from Blade as well.

Didn't he (Geki) do a few other musicals besides the Sailor Moon ones?

Good question. i´m not that familiar with his work outside of Toku and the Sailor Moon stuff.

I think Go-Busters should have just ended during the twenties with the first ending, the two extra tacked on ones are both either bad or just boring - although the final leg did give us Escape, glorious glorious Escape.

Well, he did a lot of stageplays, like some Shakespeare stuff. He also played in a Doremi musical (and also voiced Doremi's dad in the anime).
Overall, he was pretty active in the late 80s and early 90s, both on stage and on screen.

But that is most Sentai series in general. Look at GoRanger. How many of those 85 episodes actually deal with a main plot? I don't know, I haven't seen GoRanger, but I'm betting it is less than a quarter of the show.

The same goes for the Showa era of Kamen Rider. The majority of these shows are filler with the main plot sprinkled throughout. However, unlike say TurboRanger, which is boredom on the extreme, ZyuRanger's filler episodes are fun and have great action scenes in them. Hell, DekaRanger was 100% filler.

Now I do agree they really needed to develop Dan and Boi A LOT, as there is no reason a 50 episode series should be missing out on developing all of their characters, but that seems to be the Sentai way. They tend to develop only half of a team.

Thinking of watching Fiveman because I never really went through the whole show in a while. For some reason I recently am liking the costume designs these days, and the robot designs are not that bad looking at it now so will post more and give my two cents on it whenever I can.
