Your point? If I cannot even make it to my usual 10 episodes, that is a bad sign. Why should I sit there for 4 hours when just getting through half that feels like a chore? I figured marathoning the series would work better for me, as that is how I was able to get through Go-Buster, but I cannot. I tried and my brain cannot focus on Goseiger. Each episode feels like it is an hour long and I want to do something else. The only thing worse than Goseiger to me is Dynaman, which I made it up to episode 3 and then called it quits. Except for those two series, I have been able to watch every series from start to finish.

Honestly, I don't hate Shinkenger, but I don't think it is as great as people make it out to be. The first 12 episodes were fantastic, but it seemed to lose something after the first Juuzo fight. The mecha just kept piling on. Genta was down right annoying (like Shunpei from Wizard annoying) and is what I consider to be the worst sixth ranger ever. He was not ranger material, at least for being the sixth. And there seemed to be no plot movement at all from episode 15-40. I found the villains to be one dimensional, especially Dokoku, who did nothing but be drunk for most of the series. The only thing I found to be truly intriguing outside of Juuzo was the Kagemusha sub-plot, but by the time they did it, the series had lost me. It should have been done in the 30s NOT the 40s. It isn't a terrible series, but there was a lot of potential wasted.

Oh yeah, and the origami was some of the worst mecha concepts ever.
