I'm genuinely glad other people can enjoy stuff like Jetman and Kiva (my least favorite Sentai and Rider!), because I got nothing out of either of those shows besides a colossal headache. After all, imagine how depressing it would be if there was a show that genuinely nobody liked!

I think people's Inoue Tolerance? mostly comes down to a few main factors. How much they enjoy dramatic romantic subplots, how much his emphasis on theme over internal consistency bothers them, and how much his writing quirks like his sense of humor and uh... women problems annoy the viewer. Probably some other stuff too that I can't think of off the top of my head! I personally find his writing misses the mark a lot of the time for me. I'm not a big fan of romance in stories and I tend to find his characters start to fall apart a lot of the time when you look at them outside of that scope. Like in Jetman, I feel like the romance element gets laid on so thick the show just starts to forget having the characters do much else, which is fine if you enjoy that, but I didn't! His general writing style is hit or miss, I find his treatment of women in his shows significantly worse than the majority of other toku writers and his attempts at drama sometimes fall so flat for me they wrap back around into unintentional comedy. That being said, I do like Faiz a lot, the only Inoue show I like as a matter of fact. Seems to me that everyone likes at least one Inoue show, when the elements are mixed just right.
