I'm surprised you actually haven't watched Gokaiger.

I can see why, it was very unconventional both in the kind of heroes and the general set up. Plus showing off your gimmick by kicking a Football that turns into a Bin Lorry isn't exactly an action scene to set your world on fire...

But I dunno, maybe it's just because I'm not that big of a sentai guy, the fact the Gokaigers felt so unlike other teams - and the production feels so much bigger than usual - I just dug it.

I tried to hold off Gokaiger to get more sentai knowledge under my belt first but sentai is just a franchise I really can't get into much. I don't want to be *that guy* but I just feel Rider provides richer, more focused storytelling and much more variety in their seasons.

I find most sentai is really fantastic out of the gate and usually pretty damn fantastic on the way out, but as it comes out of the gate full steam it runs out of energy fast and suddenly we're down to watching the same old show with slightly different helmets and monster designs. I can't think of any sentai - even shows I like - where you couldn't AT LEAST cut out about ten episodes from the middle with no impact on the wider show at all. And that is really problematic.
