I think the biggest thing I like better about Super Sentai compared to Power Rangers was the polish the series alway had. This is mostly due to a lack of spliced footage, which make episodes seem discontinuous and inconsistent at times.

There's always nods back to previous seasons ... you just really felt like this was a new group of Power Rangers, knowledgable that there's previous Power Rangers, and this is their story.

With Jungle Fury, that all changed. It was like a mini-self-contained Universe. And the same for RPM (which we later learn IS a self-contained Universe). And Samurai, while it has Bulk and mentions of Skull, has shown absolutely no relation to previous years. Power Rangers is now feeling like Super Sentai in the sense that every series is its own self-contained series ... and I think that's a shame for Power Rangers, because they just can't pull off the awesomeness that Sentai and Kamen Rider do.

The one universe idea was interesting, but it also brought on a whole slew of plot holes with the less-than satisfying attempts at keeping continuity. I think even with Jungle Fury, it's still all part of the same universe, RJ did mention the Morphing Grid, and based on Theo's comments it was already pretty clear that Power Rangers have existed before in Jungle Fury. RPM was the first one to explicitly ignore previous canon.

I wonder if Gokaiger created a continuous universe? It may not be in-canon with the previous seasons, but it certainly created a universe with every Sentai team in existence and it remains to be seen if Go-busters takes place there.
