I hate Gokaiger, but I can see the appeal. Not so much for Shinkenger's case.

And no, I'm not ripping on Shinkenger or it's fans. I just failed to see where the mass appeal came from beyond the Origami (Which lost their appeal when every upgrade was a stupid ass helmet).

The appeal for me with Shinkenger is how much it felt like a live action anime. It was just so very Japanese but so very Japanese in a sort of how Western people think Japan is by watching lots of anime and I just found it awesome. I wish more shows would include a villain like Juzo.

That said I thought the show plummeted in terms of quality when ShinkenGold appeared who has to be one of the worst sixth Rangers ever. It also didn't help that it was slooooow, another great example of a fifty episode series that probably could have been like a 12 episode miniseries and worked considerably better.

I'll still never understand this argument, if someone isn't enjoying something how much do you really expect them to sit through? Who forces themselves to like something? Sure Kamen Rider OOO for example didn't get good in my opinion until about twenty episodes in but if someone watched the first episode and said how bland it was, which it was, I wouldn't tell them that they need to watch 20 episodes to make up their mind just that I personally didn't enjoy it until twenty episodes in. I just don't get this expectation on the internet that you have to watch the whole of a series you aren't enjoying...to not enjoy it.
