I agree! I think that the mecha battles are one of the strengths of the Go-busters series. I'm a little surprised by the amount of dislike this series has received. I can't imagine it being too many peoples' favorite sentai series, but I hardly think it's the worst. I thought Goseiger (which I don't truly dislike) was a lot more dull and repetitive than Go-busters has been.

The mecha battles for this have been amazing right from the start. They have an incredible sense of scale an realism thanks to some creative filming angles. They did that part of this show 100% right.

Hopefully they don't discard the lessons learned there and apply it to Kyoryuger and all future Super Sentai shows too.

This.

Meanwhile, I'm over here in the corner not giving a crap about design, flash, and flare and hoping that Kyoryu just tells a good story.

I thought that GoBusters was ok. I mean, its an unusual sentai. I do dig the suits since they are leather instead of the spandex. Dont get me wrong, I love the spandex suits, but, change is good every once and a while. The buddyroids each have their own personality. Usada is my favorite. The mecha battles were nice. Not too fast paced, but, not draged out. Just right. The one thing I wasnt really fond of were the mecha. They looked ok, but, the design wasnt easy on the eye. Also, I loved that they kept the mecha in a hanger. It reminded me of the Godzilla movies. The series does feel like Power Rangers RPM.

Isn't design, flash and flare a huge part of the fun of Toku? :)

It's pointless if the story is basic and dull, because then everyone can just look up the suits and designs and never watch an episode.
Like Gobuster. :p

Ah that's true. No point having a cool-looking series with a boring plot.

Now you're getting it!
"A new mech appeared in Gobusters!"
"Cool!" *Googles it instead of watching the episode*

A series needs something to keep viewers coming back. And things like interesting suits and mecha wear thin after so many episodes.
