Jetman was enjoyable to watch through, but I personally felt that the constant bickering between both the Jetmen and Vyram got tiresome. That isn't to say it isn't a great series though, it's definitely worth checking out. Also look into Liveman. I just started it and love it so far, and lots of people say it's the best series of the 80s.

Also, other people post up their reviews of Sentai, so you should be fine. However, I'm not an expert on the rules here, nor am I any sort of authority figure on this site, so don't take my word as law.

Yep! That was me on Reddit! I posted similar greetings there and on a few forums (like here), because I really wanted to dive in with both feet to my new fascination with Super Sentai and sought as much input as possible. I did go ahead and start Gekiranger and Dairanger after Shinkenger. Bought the Shout! Media DVDs of Dairanger around two weeks ago.

I'm a little leery of going into the 80s, since I know it would represent a downgrade in special effects, and maybe also action and storytelling. I have no doubts that several of the 80s shows are good and have great characters, but... yeah I guess I'm just a little distrustful. I'll track down the first few episodes of Liveman and decide if it's for me.
