I wasn't completely turned off from it, but I wasn't really impressed, either. Honestly, it just kept bugging me how their mom just out of the blue says "So yeah, magic exists. Here are your cloaks and Magiphones. Go fight evil." And somehow they automatically know how to transform and use both their weapons and attack spells. I know that's typical Sentai logic, but for some reason it really grates on me here. I'll probably try a few more episodes, but for now I'm going to stick with focusing on Dekaranger.

I'd suggest giving Magiranger more episodes. Magiranger's strength lies in the character relationships and villains. Individually the Rangers aren't that interesting, but they shine when together. The villains are still some of the best in recent Super Sentai.

If you don't mind of course, I'd suggest waiting until at least Magishine shows up to see if you'll enjoy it. The series is made up of three acts, with each act being much more interesting than the last. I know Magiranger didn't intrigue me in the first few episodes but it gradually won me over and by the end I was (pun-intended) spell-bound.
