Finished Goseiger the other night and on to Dekaranger today. The subs I had were terrible, so I have to download TVNihon's which is taking forever.

Goseiger was OK. Not great, but not terrible. Honestly, I wasn't "into" the show until the Matrontis Empire arrived. There were a few awesome episodes like Goseiknight's first few episodes, but on the whole I found the Warstar boring and the Yuumaju were pretty "meh". I think part of the problem was how "merchandise based" the Warstar arc was. Don't get me wrong, Super Sentai is always about the toys, but Goseiger was obnoxiously so at the beginning. Gosei Great, the Landick Brothers, Seaick Brothers, Skyick Brothers, Exotic Brothers (even if it was just one episode), Datas Hyper and the Mystic Brothers were all introduced in extremely quick succession and it really came across as if the show only existed to show off what was on shelves. After the Warstar, however, they put more focus on story and it seriously improved right up until Matrontis which I enjoyed and Brajira which I loved.

I also couldn't stand Alata. Ugh. Stop skipping. But then again, having Red be the least forceful of the characters was an interesting reversal. I found Nozomu incredibly annoying (I'm not who he's aimed at, though), but I don't get why Datas is so "BLAAARGH HATE". I didn't find him annoying at all.

Also, I loved the early mecha. Gosei Great is awesome and I loved Datas Hyper. The Headders were also a really fun collectable and were enjoyable. The Mystic Brothers and Gosei Ultimate kinda sucked though, especially the Mystic Brothers.

From what I saw of Dekaranger, it seems pretty cool. I'm definitely looking forward to really getting into the series.
