And now I've finished RPM.

It was good.

This series had a lot of great characters, and a fairly good story. The tone is I think one of its strongest aspects. It had a serious story with serious stakes, but it never got into grimdark territory, which I really appreciated. It was a very fun show throughout, and the interactions between the team were always great. All in all a very well crafted show. It's definitely my favorite Power Rangers, and I'm not saying that just because it's the only one I've watched completely. Though I guess I am.

Not that it was completely without flaws. I think the biggest one would be that while it had some characters that were very well developed and fleshed out, you also had like, the twins. There were definitely some characters that could have used more focus. I suppose it was inevitable, since RPM barely had some 30 episodes but still had a main cast of around 10 characters, but it's still a shame. Regardless, I guess, it still did a great job balancing the characters. It's not like I've watched a lot others, but I'm guessing this would be one of the last series one would bring up when talking about excessive red focus.

But there's also the bad guys. I mean, the big bad Venjix was...I dunno, he was pretty bland. Just a vaguely evil AI and...that's pretty much all he was. Shifter was kind of interesting after his banishment, but as I mentioned a bit earlier he ended up getting knocked out prematurely in an unremarkable fashion. Crunch was never anything more than comic relief, which is not necessarily bad but not really good either. Kilobyte is the only general I think was really an interesting character. Sort of a love to hate type, though I mostly just hated him for being a bastard. Didn't dwell on the love a whole lot. While Tenaya...existed? I don't have a lot of opinions on Tenaya. Her and Dillon's story sort of hijacked much of the second half of the series, but it was just not as interesting as I would have liked. Her dilemmas were solved pretty quickly and it didn't end up mattering a lot in the end. As a whole the story was good, but she as a character isn't that intriguing to me.

Anyway, pretty great show in any case. Man I want some figuarts...
