Although it looked REALLY dated at times, this is probably as perfect an introduction to a series as you're gong to get. It established things quickly, and precisely in a no nonsense fashion while being generally pretty damn stylish about it and coming packed with great designs. I really like how their weapons combine into a melee weapon and not another cannon.
Plus the core concept is really fun - five sentient, giant, robotic animals ride around on a floating island shaped like a turtle guarding the planet from monsters while each picking a champion to fight with them. Nothing original sure, but don't fix what ain't broke, right?
Only real bad thing was the changer, what is it with sentai and using phone changers in the most illfitting of shows? I still can't get over that time in Shinkenger when Edo Japan samurai were transforming with fucking flip phones.
That and the annoying sentai trait of having the Red being an outsider but not committing to it in the fight scenes. Just like in Dairanger, GaoRed goes from not knowing what is going on at all, and questioning whether he too can fight before Changing and immediately fighting as if he's been a part of the team always. It's both distracting and makes a huge part of the episode feel pointless.
I think the only time this has ever been done well was Casey in Jungle Fury
.
Jan in Gekiranger also worked fairly well. Mainly because he didn't spend all those years in the wilderness alone just doing nothing.
