Whatever you think of the Kyoryuger mecha aside, the show and Go-Busters are visually similar on the giant scale. Go-Busters was at its best in the first few episodes, but it eventually had to level out to something that was easier and quicker to produce - though that was still above and beyond what Sentai had done in the past. Go-Busters saw a long time Red suit actor become the action director, and he's continued in that position with Kyoryuger and hopefully will with Tokkyuger. I think a lot of the visual difference is thanks to how he frames. The giant fights in Kyoryuger aren't always great, but there is a definite sense of scale and placement of the miniatures to give the set that atmosphere of being a real city.
