Took a break from Jetman because I couldn't find the next episode anywhere. Finally DDL'd it from the site in the fansubs topic.
I think i'm gonna try Dairanger again after I finish Jetman.
As for the discussion a few pages back, my first Sentai was Zyuranger, and I really don't see anything topping it. The combination of nostalgia rush and introducing me to the world of Sentai gives it a special place in my heart (lame, I know), but there are a few aspects of it that I like, but haven't found in other Sentai. For example:
1. Takes its time setting things up. Opens with a two-parter, goes into a two-parter where they get weapons, and then the two-parter with the sphinx to get DaiZyuJin.
2. Could just be nostalgia talking, but I much prefer how they combine the legendary weapons into a big cannon, instead of having a pre-made big cannon that they pull out of nowhere to beat enemies
3. I liked the "warriors from the past" aspect a lot, but haven't been as big of a fan of "random teenagers get powers through technology" setup that the vast majority of Sentai seems to have (which, I understand that's the main setup for Sentai and Zyuranger was a bit different in that regard)
4. I like how the monsters are all made out of clay, it gives them a nice "origin." Lots of Sentai just seem to have the monsters come out of nowhere, especially the cannon fodder enemies, so it's really cool to see a series where they have an explanation. Related to this, I like how Bandora throws her scepter thing to make the monsters grow. It makes sense for why they get bigger, as opposed to, say, Kakuranger, where they just randomly get bigger for no apparent reason.
5. It seemed like it had better world-building, as opposed to other Sentai i've seen where they gathered some people and gave them powers to fight an evil organization, but didn't really do much beyond that.
Jetman has come pretty close to taking over my top spot, but not quite. Then again, i'm not even halfway through Jetman, so who knows. The only other sentai i've seen more than 10 episodes of is Megaranger, which I found to be rather uninteresting. Kakuranger I think I saw 9, which I also found a bit boring. Battle Fever J I surprisingly really liked the 6 or 7 episodes I saw, but not enough to compete for my top spot.
