So I just checked out Kakuranger episode 1.
And eh. The charm of the older Sentai series for me is how shit they are, I'm a sucker for extremely cheap practical effects and melodrama and I enjoyed the episodes of BioMan I watched because it is like something you'd find on Mystery Science Theatre. That is the same reason why Jetman is one of my favourite sentai series.
Kakuranger doesn't really have that kind of charm, it's far from huge budgets or serious but it sticks fairly close to martial arts film tropes and just does them much more cheaply. So not only does it provide none of that crappy charm but it gives me no reason to watch it above any of the martial arts classics.
That said, I am a big sucker for Sentai that feels like live action anime which is why I stuck through Shinkenger even after it bored me so much I almost slipped into a coma.
