Yeah. In all honesty, I have a hard time sitting through the Sentai series before Bioman, and even Bioman is not that great.

I made it through 11 episodes of JakQ before I stopped, 1 episode of Sun Vulcan, 1 episode of Goggle 5, and 4 episodes of Dynaman (and I own all of Dynaman). It isn't because of all them are terrible really, but because they take forever to end. I feel like it takes 45 minutes to complete an episode (and I highly enjoy the original Kamen Rider series).

All I ask for is that something changes so that the last 40-something episodes meant something in the long run, and weren't a relative waste of time.

Ryuki's ending is worse since it just wipes out everything that happened over the course of the series as if it never happened. They didn't beat the bad guy, Shiro just gave up because Yui killed herself so he made it where they never lived through the fire. Ren did not beat Odin at all and Shiro never actually fought anyone to be beaten.

As for the ending to DaiRanger, it might all be about timing of when I saw it. I did not hate open endings as much then as I do not because I had not seen 15 anime series that did it and many Toku series either at that time. I think I had only seen one that pulled a cop out ending, if that. It was not until after DaiRanger that I saw the endings to Big O, Evangelion, RahXephon, Gilgamesh, DekaRanger, and Wolf's Rain that I started to detest those type endings.

And it isn't like DaiRanger's ending did not fit. You are talking about a war that has gone on for centuries. It wouldn't just stop there because Shadam was defeated.
