Exactly. What killed it for me was that the first six episodes relied on 2-part story arcs (which consisted of the Zyurangers waking up to defend Earth once again, their struggle to acquire their legendary weapons, and Geki's quest to rescue his teammates and unlock the secret of the Guardian Beasts). Given the plot of each arc, Toei should've been able to do them in single episodes instead of dragging the audience over a cliffhanger and forcing them to wait for the next episode. I mean, sure, Super Sentai titles have multi-episode story arcs, but to do them consecutively at the beginning of the series?

Also, the Zyurangers are a somewhat serious team, while the Bandora Gang is all comedic. That somehow just doesn't mix well in a series. I think Ohranger had that same issue as well.

Sad to say, but as a Super Sentai fan, I actually found Mighty Morphin Power Rangers to be more fun to watch than Zyuranger.

With that all said, I think the reason why I stuck around for eight episodes was because of the ever-kawaii Reiko Chiba.
