The DaiRangers are normal people sucked into a war they did not ask for. They are not an organized military unit. They are not warriors who were friends thousands of years ago. They did not just suddenly become a team after 5 episodes. The DaiRangers feel the most realistic team because they are not one until the very end of the show.

I think the Dairanger's are awful. Kazu is non existent. The only time Lin is in the show is when she's exploited. Ryou has no reason to be red at all. And although Shouji and Daigo get a lot of focus, the plots that focus on them are just rinse and repeated over and over with different characters. That is the main problem with the pacing as well, I realised the show hasn't gone anywhere as they just keep redressing the same couple of of the week episodes.

I'm roughly half way through Jetman, and what I've seen of that, I like it way, way more. The characters are better and the villains are better. I got kind of annoyed by how long they'd hold out before using their Cross Changers, usually getting battered in the process - plus not all of the Jetmen exactly match up to the personalities of the characters, and the love triangle was kinda weak but it was still much more solid show than Dairanger.
