Yes. The endining to Faiz is an enormous slap in the face. Nothing is resolved, no questions are answered, and we're just given a lot of cliffhangers that ultimately go nowhere.

Now for me, I didn't hate the Dairanger ending. And that's because to me it works as a good horror ending. The Dairangers defeat their enemies and convince Daijinryu to leave the Earth in peace. Then, fifty-some years later, another group of Gorma revive and the Dairangers' grandchildren and their terrible clothing go off to restart the war, all while the original Dairangers watch on in terror, knowing that even though the new generation things they're saving the world, all they're really doing is sending out the message that Earth is not at peace, which means Daijinryu is going to come back and destroy the world. Viewed that way, it's actually a really, really dark ending and I kinda love it.
