This should come as a surprise to nobody who knows me, but Zyuranger is by far the worst Sentai I have ever sat through beginning to end.

Zyuranger's biggest issue is simply the story. For starters there is way, way too much filler. You'll get about five or six episodes of story (save for the first ten) and then it's nothing but a rather long stretch of filler. This formular is rinsed and repeated throughout the entirety of the show. I don't even really mind there being episodes focused on kids whether they are filler or plot, but the amount of filler is just aggravating and boring. Which would make you think that the main story is at least good. Well guess what, it is just as boring and that is what makes Zyuranger kind of painful even more.

You start off with ten plot driven episodes that are executed pretty well but then fall prey to countless filler and when the story actually comes back it is just not interesting in the least bit. "But Poe what about Burai?!" Burai's story had the potential in my opinion. The first part is kinda nice, but his sort of death/revival is kinda lame to be frank, and his teaming up with Bandora is forced. Yeah he wants to kill the Zyurangers, but why forcefully team him up with somebody if HE is the ONE who wants to do the deed? Of course that brings us to his second story...and god is it painful. I'm sorry but while the first half is at least decent the minute he's restrained in the room is when his story goes to the can for me. I could go on and on about Zyu's story, but I'd need all damn day.

"What about the characters Poe?" They're...there. Nobody really ever develops save for Burai switching to good, and even then that amounts to "Oh hey, I don't hate you now. Let's fight!" Aside from him all of the Zyurangers are simply there and the same beginning to end. I'll admit I'm was surprised at Bandora's story and her having a pretty good reason to go after Earth. But even that is sort of ruined because of it only being revealed in the final few episodes. I wish this would have been more known earlier in the show to let it build and build. But nope. Burai dies, filler, oh yeah Bandora hates dinosaurs and stuff I won't really spoil. Point is that the characters are pretty much just wallflowers with only Burai and Bandora getting any real development that is just almost forceful in Burai and too later for Bandora.

Action of the show? It's decent. I don't really get why some people praise this show for the mecha fights since they seem pretty normal for the time. Yeah DaiZyuJin is God and has some extra powers, but they didn't make the fights all that interesting. Music is pretty good and definitely fits the fantasy theme.

So...yeah...there it is. Zyuranger is simply the worst Sentai I have seen in full, possibly even the worst toku I've seen. Actually scratch that, it is the worst toku show I've seen. I would much, much, much rather watch something from most Disney era Power Ranger seasons, or force myself to watch Dekaranger, or even MMPR. Heck I'd much sooner give Blade another shot than ever watch Zyuranger again.
