Wonder how Noubo would react to the Lupinrangers :lol

First season was, okay, I guess. I've seen some other shows using similar plotlines of saving Akihabara using pop culture references and fiction blending to reality and I think they did it better than this. As a fan not familiar with majority of the old Super Sentai, a lot of the references or trivia are lost on me beyond the regular tropes of Super Sentai that I've been familiar with from the ones I saw.

I just finished watching Gaoranger today and it was.....................okay. I'm honestly more partial towards its Power Rangers counterpart for some reason and it's not just due to the crossover episodes.

Anyway, I think I might take a bit of break from Super Sentai watching for a bit mainly due to going on vacation with my family on a cruise starting next Saturday and won't be back until September 7th. After this, I will start watching Hurricanger which is the last of the US-released Sentai series, at least for now.

The "Powerful Rangers" episode was insultingly awful.

I remember watching Akibaranger and quitting after... I think episode 3? Just was not my thing.

After I've finished Ryuki I think I'll give Heisei Rider a break because that'll have been me watched all of them except Faiz and Blade. And I'll get around to them eventually, but for now... I'm curious if you guys would recommend Timeranger and Shinkenger? Those are two of the sentai I'm most interested in (the ones I've already watched are Gokaiger and everything afterward).

I have to imagine every Sentai has both fans and also people who aren't too fond of it.

Me personally, Shinkenger (I recall a typical fan-favourite too) is a particularly good series when it comes to interpersonal relationships and dramas between the cast, and Timeranger I remember is very dramatic compared to other series. I mean they're both Sentais so these qualities won't be present all the time, but those are what I think are their unique traits.

I still haven't gotten around to Timeranger, but from one Kobayashi fan to another, Shinkenger is amazing. The big thing going against it is a relatively dull set of villains (for the most part), but when you combine a writer who does human drama extremely well with one of the most talented casts of actors in Sentai history, you probably won't find yourself caring too much. It's also seriously stylish when it comes to the action.

Can confirm, Shinkenger is a fan favourite for a reason. I can only back up everyone else when I say it's a stylish series with a great cast, with some top tier writing behind it.
