I'm not sure how I like Ban. He's loud and brash, but I can't say that I hate him, primarily because it's only been 1 episode, so they had to point out character traits, not actual character.
I do like seeing the vehicles being acknowledged as giant, explaining why the roads are always inexplicably large enough to accommodate them. Pretty neat.

Some things I didn't like, though:
Ban destroyed a church and ruined a wedding then killed someone they needed to take in alive (Well, destroyed, since he was a robot). Believe it or not, policemen are still held accountable for their actions...
Doggie's suit here looks better than Doggie's in SPD, but please, you gave him a functioning mouth. USE IT. At least Doggie (SPD) actually looked like he was talking, and not just having his mouth hang open like a dumbass.
DekaGreen. Someone get this man acting lessons. His line delivery was on par with Samurai.

Ban grows on you. He's abrasive at first but he igets pretty awesome pretty quick. The physics of the Deka Machines and how they and the base interact with the city is nice, I liked that aspect of "realism".

Ban didn't mean to destroy that church either so I can forgive that and don't worry about the enemy he destroyed. You'll see that resolved more properly in the next episode. After seeing Dekaranger it's pretty clear that the original Doggie costume is MUCH better than that lizard monstrosity they made for the US, whether the mouth moves enough or not.

And I'll echo what Switchblade said. Sen gets some great development down the road and growsa decent personality. I really loved him towards the end and after the series in Magi VS Deka.
