I do. And Power Rangers by extension. It's really the concept that bothers me the most. You fight meaningless battles with enemies on the ground in suits that don't offer much protection (aside from a helmet) just to lead up to the monster's growth & robot that fights said giant monster.
Not to mention the show's done in a format that is supposed to make multiple people shine but usually it's only 2-3 characters that might have care given to their development, but even that can be messed up due to over-saturation of said character. Plus the power-ups are handled oddly: all characters should go through a significant moment in their lives at the same time to make them all getting the same power justifying, but that's usually done in a forced manner by making the characters learn things that are supposed to be obvious to people that have been working as long as that team has. Or they only give a select few characters (sometimes only one) a boost in abilities, which makes that character overshadow their teammates: the exact opposite effect that a show about a group of people working together is supposed to have.
Then they utilize their exaggerated technology (weapons, robots & power-ups) flawlessly in their first try almost every single time. You really begin to wonder what's the point of the characters if the technology is basically doing everything for the show.
Kamen Rider isn't always free of these issues, they mess up too. But with Kamen Rider negatives are almost always outweighed by their positives since they almost always do more things right than wrong.
