I really like the story they set up and the legendary feel it has. The whole cycle story is a fun touch and it works well in a fantastical setting. I'm curious though if they'll ever be an explanation as to why the group was chosen to be the Gingaman, and if only they can utilize Earth Power. I'm really digging the villains too. I love their backstory and the whole clan dynamic. To be honest though it's taking a while to get use to Sambash considering I'm so use to Villemax. The others seem the same as their Ranger counterparts but Sambash is such the opposite, little odd to get use to.

The characters are very nice as well. Across the line. Yes some of them don't really have full blown identities (Yuuta, Saya, and Gouki being the big three examples for me so far), however for those with full identities they work well. If I had to pick a favorite so far, I'd say Hayate simply based on I like his outfit, and the green suit was always my favorite of the rangers in Lost Galaxy.

However the one big thing I appreciate in the show so far is taking the time to explain everything. There's a reasoning for what the villains are doing on a weekly basis, there's an actual backstory to the Kiba Blades. Compared to Lost Galaxy where the show would just throw stuff at you without any real knowledge given to the viewer, Gingaman is doing leaps and bounds better than it's American counterpart, and only five episodes in.

I am definitely loving Gingaman so far and can't wait to watch more.

Oh and that ending theme:

That saxophone makes love to your eardrums!
