I never said I watched the entire show. I've been avoiding most discussions on it because I found it to be one of the worst series ever. However, here is what one of my friends who DID watch the entire thing had to say:

ToQger is probably one of the weaker Sentai series in recent years. The suits and mecha seemed uninspired at first, but they grew on me a bit. I honestly feel the Color Transfer gimmick was wasted here. They used it very well at the start of the series and as it progressed, they Transferred less and less. It was a great idea, but wasn't used to it's full effect. I feel that Mio was one of the weakest Yellow Rangers, in terms of character growth, personality, and relevance to the story. If an episode focused on Mio, I really did not care. (Marcos, I'm sure you still hate Youko, but I think Mio is a worse Yellow). Akira was a good character and should be proud to be the first Orange Ranger. (I do not count DekaSwan as she is a Special Hero, and SPD Orange Ranger was a dream, so that doesn't count.) It's nice when we get a brand new color in Sentai. However, he should have been able to Transfer with the others (Ticket says he can't). Throughout the series I was far more invested in the villains story. Their relationships were rather complex and brought a lot of tension to the opposing side. Having their own trains that could become robots was also a nice touch to the series. The Conductor and Ticket were my favorite characters and provided good comic relief. Wagon could've done without the lips. However, all three of them were needed to keep life on the trains lively.
!!!SPOILERS!!!
The final episode was a little disappointing. Akira doesn't get to finish off Baron Nero who has been taunting him since he entered the show. There was no final robot fight, just the Rainbow Line trains smashing into the Castle Terminal, blowing it up. We at least get a final confrontation with Zett, but he gets away and returns to the Darkness. Seeing ToQ Ichigou Transfer between all the colors was cool, but he was able to become Orange (Ticket, you lied to us), and ToQ Ichigou Rainbow was cool to see while it was around. There was no real conclusion for the villains, the Emperor of Darkness got away, maybe those rumors of Zett being ToQ Nanagou in the V Cinema are true. The ToQger's reunion with their families was definitely emotional and well done. It is nice that the children get to keep their memories, I mean, they have to for future movies, V Cinema, and specials.
All-in-all, ToQger had some good elements and some standout characters, but at the end of the day, it really is the weakest Sentai in recent years, IN MY OPINION. I know there are those who hate Go-Busters with a passion, but I feel that ToQger was a much weaker series. Not quite at Goseiger levels of bad, but I won't be holding on to ToQger in my external hard drive.
