what is the worst sentai series in your opinion?
 

well since a kamen rider version has been made i think this should also be made. so tell me, whats the worst sentai team?

Gobusters easily for me. It's Toei's half baked attempt to do something like Power Rangers, but it fails not only at that, it's far too bland to be a good Sentai as well. As awful as this may sound I think Super Sentai should take a break and let Metal Heroes come back while Toei recharges it creative batteries.

Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger! :D

I've seen Go-Onger and Gokaiger. Currently working through Dairanger and Go-Busters. Don't particularly dislike any of them...

Come on man. It's easily Gobusters. It's the most bland, boring, cookie cutter sentai ever.
-No characterization for anyone.
-Bad mecha for everyone.
-Bad costumes outside of Stag and Beet.
-Beet J Stag is the only interesting character
-Awful villains
-Terrible premise

The list goes on. Gobusters fails in every category and has become the most stereotypical sentai I've seen in years.

Goseiger. Good designs can't make up for a lame story, lame characters, and terrible villains.

'sup, Sentai.

I wouldn't say one is the worst, but the least satisfactory overall in my book would be Goseiger. Don't get me wrong, I love GoseiKnight, his character arc, and Brajira/Buredoran, but that's about all the series had going for it.

Goseiger has a good bit going for it. Gosei Knight and Brajira/Buredoran+BuredoRUN are good characters and admittedly the Header gimmick is really cool if a little under realized. The main thing I think killed any hope of this being a universally loved series is the Goseigers themselves. Don't get wrong, I think they're a good group but they're a little lacking in character and the fact that they constantly bring up Eco-friendly fluff at any given moment can get a little grating.

But still they're leaps and bounds beyond the Go-Busters. How on Earth they managed to get a cast that's so lacking I'll never know.

Like with Kamen Rider, I will only judge shows I've seen most/all of.

In which case, I think I'd have to go with either Dairanger or Dekaranger. I can't say those two are even that bad really. I just don't agree with Dekaranger on a base level. Dairanger just doesn't have many stand out episodes and overall is forgettable.

I'm sure there's worse. I think I've even sampled worse Sentais, but thanks to Gokaiger's great tribute episodes, I knew ahead of time which shows I probably wanted to avoid and for the most part it seems to work.

PS Honorable mention to Akibaranger. If it was ANY longer I would consider it the worst, but it luckily knew when to stop.

Switchblade: Your hatred only makes me stronger.

The worst Sentai I have personally seen, all the way through, has got to be Go-Onger. For how much I now love RPM, I found I don't like Go-Onger. It's an updated Carranger. Not that the show was horrible, or unwatchable, by any means. Just of the four series' I've watched now it's my least favorite.

Your hatred of Akibaranger astounds me. It's easily better than most full 50 episode sentais I've seen.

Is it subbed yet? I really want to watch it.

It's a toss up between Sun Vulcan and Boukenger. Boukenger has some nice mecha which elevates it a bit, but Sun Vulcan is flat out dull.

Its been fully subbed for a while now. Hit up Overtime or TV-Nihon.

And it astounds me that people even like Akibaranger. What saves it from my absolute hatred is how short it is. I won't watch Go-Onger because I know I'll get tired of it being Go-Onger after a while and not something I want to waste 50ish episodes on ("good in small doses"). Akibaranger is 12 episodes and that's it's best quality. I don't mean that in a mean way either. Comedy is best kept short. The longer a comedy is, the bigger risk the it will run out of GOOD material.

So yeah, if Akibaranger had been normal Sentai length, I'd consider it the worst Sentai ever. As it stands, Akibaranger is "okay," nothing that deserves all this prase. Much like Tiger and Bunny, but that's a rabbit hole for another day.


Akibaranger (The delusional show), not Abaranger (Dino Thunder). :p

Changeman. That's all I have to say.

Worst Sentai?.

Probably Dekaranger, It was good but the voice over guy really started to get on my nerves after a while, I also found the ending to be a bit dissapointing.

Can I just transfer my hatred for lightspeed rescue over to go go five? It all started with the suit design for me anyway.

No, GoGoV is awesome.

Then nobody can have a negative opinion on Gokaiger. :lol

Goseiger is by far my worst, but since that has already been mentioned a million times, same with Go-Onger, I'm going to say Dynaman. The episodes take forever to get through, they are boring, and I stopped watching it after 9 episodes. Every episode felt like it was an hour long.

its a toss up between Goseiger (Sentai *glares*) and Gobuster

Akiba was awesome though

Actually, in a genre that is filled with "ERUPTING THEEND PUNCH!", convoluted never ending stories, protagonists younger than a high school freshman, and etc, T&B really does something unique within anime, aiming for a more Western feel as opposed to the dredge of another Shonen.
That's where the praise comes from.

Hi. My name is Matrixbeast, and I think Gokaiger is the worst series ever.

Still not understanding the Goseiger hate. At this point, I'm really starting to think it has less to do with the show and more do to with going with the crowd.

And "They chose it over Gokaiger for Megaforce" isn't a valid reason.

The thing with Goseiger is that the first 20 or so episodes are pretty dull. I can imagine a lot of people starting it and losing interest. Once Gosei Knight shows up it picks up a lot and the last half of the series is pretty good.

Boukenger? Really? I loved Boukenger. I mean it's slow in the middle but the begining and end were really great as was the Gekiranger crossover.

And where is all the Go-Onger hate coming from? Another series that I adored. As for Goseiger I have to say that I've seen far worse than it, Gobuster being the prime example and that damn show isn't even finished yet!

No, I made it up through Gosei Knight's debut. The last straw for me was the episode where Eri was all "I can't fight monsters right now, I need to bake this little boy a birthday cake!"

I also want to say that I don't get all the Gobusters hate, but honestly I can't. I like the show well enough myself, especially since Masato and J showed up, but I can't say I really enjoy it as much as, say, Gokaiger. The characters are pretty dull and the plot is absolutely glacial, but it does make up for those drawbacks with some of the best mech stuff I've ever seen in Sentai and an awesome villain in Enter.

And that's why I hate this series the most. The mechs are just awful. There seems to have been no real planning while designing these things. Parts are just tacked on all over the palce in the most haphazzard way just to say "we used all the parts!" I will admit that the Ace is a marvel. It really is one of th ebest stand alone mechs and toys I've handeled in a while from a sentai. But any of the additional stuff is a monumental let down design-wise :(

I only watched two episodes of goseiger and the only thing I hated was the jumping sound effect. Otherwise it was kind of blah.

Don't hate Go-Onger. I just didn't enjoy it as much as the other sentai's I've watched.

But you are my hero for this^

Aside from the mecha, there was very little I enjoyed about Boukenger. The best member of the team was the chief, and even he didn't really have much personality going. The idea of multiple sets of enemies was a good, but was horribly executed as none of them were really that interesting apart from the Questers (who were in it the least). The Gekiranger crossover was excellent, but I tend to lump that in with Gekiranger since it came out during their run.

I don't think I've come across a Sentai series yet that's flat out awful, but Boukenger ranks pretty high in my "great concepts, horrible execution" list.

There hasn't been a Sentai series I've seen that I haven't loved. But if this was for bland, I'd say Go-Busters. I skipped after the first ep and came back for Beet and Stag Buster. And I skipped this weeks episode. I'll come back when they show off their powerup

Gekiranger can make any series better. :lol

It has become apparent to me that you have only seen popular anime (Most Shonen animes are), not GOOD anime. Good anime is rarely over 50 episodes, many fans even believe 13 or 26 episodes is the ideal length of an anime (lean toward 26 myself). Most good animes are 5 or more years old. That's where T&B's popularity comes from. It's one of the only decent animes in years. Also, all my favorite animes have a "Western feel" to them, so you are just wrong on that.

But I digress. This is a Senati thread afterall.

Sigh, why do I even bother with you? :p

Actually, I hate all anime.
It's the only medium that I, now, vehemently refuse to watch. I'm currently under the impression that no anime can be considered "Good."

And what? :p

Gokaiger. I've tried and tried, but it's just too hard to get through an episode.

Part of me is enjoying all of the people saying they don't like Gokaiger. The part of me bitter having to read all the Gosei-Hate.

Don't bother. Here's all that happens, plot, character, and story wise: They beat the bad guy and give the ranger keys back.
There is no character growth, there is no plot advancement, nothing occurs during the series at all.

I've been trying to work on a larger post detailing all my problems with the series, but so far all I've come up with is blind rage and more and more realizations over why Gokaiger was so awful.

Boring villians.
Special effects doing the fighting for the rangers.
A ranger cast that looks like a bunch of 8th graders.
The supporting cast is really dumb and annoying.
Terrible acting from the ranger cast.
The heders were a dumb concept.

The only thing I can give Goseiger a compliment for is having awesome names for their monsters.

Honestly, after spending a month watching all 508 episodes of The Simpsons, I came to discover no series should ever be 500 episodes. I love One Piece to death, it is one of my favorite shows, but the manga should not have been allowed to run as long as it has. Same goes for Dragonball Yu-Gi-Oh!. Two more series I love, but seriously, way too many episodes.

Anyway, it is hard to say. I mean, there are a lot of great shows in the 50ish episode mark like Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood (well 64 eps), Ghost in the Shell SAC, Code Geass, and most Gundam series, but for the most part, the best are definitely in the 26 range. Death Note, Ouban Star Racers, Gankutsuou, Escaflowne, Speed Grapher, Noir, RahXephon, Cowboy Bebop, Big O, Wolf's Rain, etc.

As for Gokaiger, it is a flawed series, and I can understand why some people do not like it. However, it was advertised to me as a series of fanservice, and that is exactly what it provided. Plus, it had a strong ranger cast, the best we have had since GekiRanger, and some truly excellent fight scenes. Oh, and it had Basco, which showed they still know how to do a Rio type character.

I understand that it was based around fanservice, but I think that led to it's biggest downfall. No one wanted to see the Gokaigers fight, everyone was cheering to see them transform into another team. And they did. And this lead directly into another problem. Lack of identity. The Gokaigers themselves had exactly one fighting style. Swap weapons. Luka always did the swords on ropes, Don always ran around tripped and shot. It stopped being interesting after the 4th time they did it.

Speaking of Gekiranger, when did Jan learn to speak a full sentence without inserting his "Nikiniki wazawaza"? :lol

Basco was one of the points in Gokaiger's favor, I'll admit.

I do agree about their own fighting style, but what would be the point of doing their own thing when the feature of the series was them turning into other rangers and using their fighting styles? For me, that is one of Gokaiger's strong points. Sure, the Gokaiger only had one fighting style, but how many series actually change their fighting style? Not many. Even DaiRanger, the greatest Sentai ever made, stayed with one style for the rangers throughout the series. Gokaiger gave us 35 different fighting styles.
