For Go-busters it seemed everything would go right, they cut down the insane number of Zords and they make transformations more complicated. Sounds really good on paper, especially given how good Go-buster Ace turned out to be.

Yet, as we know, the results looked a bit messy. I wonder if they ended up trying too hard to be complicated and failed. Trying to imitate, in their own way, the "Bayformer" effect. While overly dumber down Sentai mecha (like Gokaioh) are boring, it is worse to have complicated designs that make no sense. At least Gokaioh looked great combined.

I do hope this year's season is an experiment to see what works. Go-busters occasionally tries too hard to be serious, losing that charm that Sentai always had in its absurdity. Yet, I'm glad they took this direction, it shows they're genuinely trying to find something that works instead of rehashing a boring 1 torso and 4 limb combination.

Know what I'd really like to see? Sentai take a page from the Brave series. Land Bison, Gaogaigar, something like that.
