^ I think you're way too harsh on the series, Den-O.

As for me, I have wanted a show that distinguishes itself from Gokaiger, and Go-busters definitely delivers. Real time henshin sequence? Check. Wrist morphing device? Check. An overall serious tone? Check. MOTW that actually do things differently (by separating Metaroid from Megazord)? Check, check, and check. I like all the characters, and I feel that while they aren't as razzle-dazzle as the Gokaiger cast, they feel more real and not just caricature or archetypes. Maybe it is because the head writer is Kobayashi, who also wrote Timeranger, Shinkenger, and OOO, but I think she got the characterization mostly right. The mechs are great with or without combination, and the miniature battles are the best I've seen in recent sentai series. I think the show got a bit slow after episode 15 or so, but recently it definitely picked up the paces, and we're getting more info on not just hyperspace, but also avatars.

There seems to be some disappointments toward the show, and given that it follows the wildly popular Gokaiger, I can sort of understand, but I don't think it deserves all the criticisms leveled toward it. Hopefully eventually it will convince even the naysayers and convert them into fans of the series.
