It had too many ideas and no clue what to do with them. It had a cast that was just expies of popular Sentai characters concepts (Sans the strongman), and had to burn a good chunk of it's time for tribute episodes that tried (And failed) to copy the tone of the tribute series.

It doesn't help that Sentai as a genre, although undeniably homogeneous, has lots of very clashing trimmings. And rather than trying to streamline anything, the show leap frogs from genre to genre like an ADHD child who also happens to have parkinsons. The only explanations we ever get never actually end up making sense and leave the fandom to make up shit for them.

I don't even care much for the team. Luka's actress is terrible, and minus Ahim, Luka and Joe we don't really know anything about the rest of the team. I figured as their character arcs were basically finished at the start it would give them more room to explore the characters but NOPE. Sure they are all likeable, but a stock shounen hero and half a team of cardboard cut outs hardly sets my world on fire.

Somehow worse than that though is in the three developed characters backstories, they all feature a Zangyack which is so brutal and so successful that it clashes so hard with the villains we get in the main series it may as well be a plothole.
