Go-Onger IMO are the best of the series. you could probably almost watch them now. there is nothing plot-wise that I think would be a spoiler as they are self-contained...except for the mecha but if you watched PR samurai or kept up in the news of that then you know what all that is. so it wouldn't be spoiler really, but if you are the type to watch things in order I certain respect that too.

I don't remember the Kodomas serving any purpose, but that is why I am rewatching the show.

I hated the Shinken vs Go-On movie. I felt there was no chemistry between the two casts at all. Never heard of Shinkenger Returns though. What is that about?

Have you seen Boukenger or Go-Onger? Those are my favs.

I've seen every series from Bioman on. I enjoyed Boukenger but don't care for Go-Onger.

It doesn't help that Genta is quite possibly my least favourite sixth of all time and his appearance I think is supposed to be the jolt of life for the middle but it doesn't work.

Yeah, that is what I remember. IF I recall, Dayuu is the only villain to receive any sort of development, Juuzo is the best thing about the show, Genta is the worst sixth (and one of the worst characters) ever, and the 20s through the 30s are pretty much just a mech cluster**** party.

But we'll see. I've been enjoying the show a lot more this time around.
