It felt like half of the show could of been cut and I've missed nothing. I'll be honest and admit I have reading issues so maybe something was missed during my viewing, but none of the characters outside Geki seemed to get any focus, there wasnt much going on and the villain didn't interact with the Zyuranger that much. I guess it comes down to I really don't enjoy lighthearted stuff that much. Sure comedy is fine every now and then and yes filler is just something we need to deal with every now and then, but hardly anything felt important. Take for example the monkey people. That had no point in the long run. I'd say it's me, but lots of people seem to join my feelings on the matter so guess it's not me.

The thing with Sentai is that a lot of the episodes take one particular character and give them a struggle, and then make them overcome it. Most of the time characters don't really have long arcs over a series. The thing with Zyuranger is these struggles usually involve helping a little kid. That could be a reason why you thought the characters were pointless, since a lot of their stories boiled down to them helping a random kid every week. Keep in mind though that most Sentai has a lot of...well, filler. Lots of episodes involve a monster showing up and the team trying to beat the monster, without really advancing the main plot. So theoretically, you could skip a good chunk of the episodes in just about every sentai (I haven't seen them all though so I can't say that for sure) and not miss out.

Try Gekiranger and Dairanger. They're both regarded as some of the best Sentai out there and have great pacing. Maybe you'll find the plots and characters more interesting? Also, I've seen a couple people recommend megaranger...please don't try watching that one next. I found it to be pretty boring. Maybe later on you could come back to it, but right now i'd suggest either Geki or Dai. edit: Totally forgot you said you started Kyoryuger and liked it when I posted this. You could also keep going with that one.

Also, out of curiosity...if you've only seen 3 Sentai so far and weren't enamored with any of them, why did you choose SentaiLover as a username?
