I still haven't been able to push my was through Shinkenger though. I made it to episode 26 and just can't bring myself to care anymore. It just gets so boring in the middle. When my least favorite character is the Red on the team, I get worried.

I find that the main weakness of Shinkenger is that everything rests on Takeru. He holds and breaks the entire team. Because of that, all other Rangers are absolutely secondary in comparison, which can be a good or bad thing. He is literally the definition of a starring Red. So you love or hate the show based on him.

I must say, he gets some good character development towards the last 10 episodes, again, but I understand that it might not be worth waiting that long.

It is sometimes a shame that the rest of the Shinkengers, while having excellent character development on their own rights, are less memorable as a result of this secondary status. Other shows like Gokaiger focus on their Reds too, but not to the extent that the rest of the team falls to the sidelines. It's really like Timeranger, which focuses on a Red, Pink and Fire, which I attribute to Yasuko Kobayashi's writing style.
