That won't happen anytime soon, though. I'm quite certain I won't get through *all* of them. Right now I'm pretty sure I'll buy the Shout! release of Kakuranger and then get into another 2000s series.
In that case, based on what you've seen, which already include 4 of my top 5 Sentai (Jetman, Gokaiger, Dairanger and Shinkenger)...
I recommend you watch these:
Kakuranger
- Second favorite series after Jetman. Starts out as a satire of Japanese culture in the 90s before becoming a badass martial arts story.
Carranger
- Even more comedic than Kakuranger. Sometimes the humor works, sometimes it doesn't. But it contains at least one of my all-time favorite Sentai episodes, and I think you've seen enough Sentai by this point to get most of the parody elements it employs.
Gingaman
- The pitch for this show is basically: what if Sentai was Final Fantasy? I'm still in the process of watching it, but it's already gunning for a top spot in my all-time favorites list.
Kyoryuger
- You know how everyone complains that Daigo gets all the focus? They're right. But it's still a very good Sentai. (Except for Ovirapoo Zyudenchi, which,
UGGGGGH
)
Go-Busters
- The people who claim this is a huge departure from the Sentai norm haven't watched any 80s shows. I've heard all the arguments against this show, and I don't agree with any of them. Go-Bus is totally solid Sentai.
I recommend you avoid these:
Magiranger
- Despite some excellent design work, this is far and away the worst Sentai I've ever seen.
Ninninger
- Not the worst, but your time is better spent elsewhere.
Maskman
- Unless you want to watch the most generic Sentai of all time, then by all means...
Megaranger
- I'm gonna get a lot of blow back for this, but I stand by it 100%. Are there good episodes? Sure. But you've seen enough Sentai now that Megaranger will probably feel almost as generic as Maskman. I say pass.
To gauge my tastes against your own, here's my ranking of all the Sentai shows I've seen (which, aside from the top 5, varies every day and may not be that helpful... lol):
01. Jetman
02. Kakuranger
03. Gokaiger
04. Dairanger
(based on how things are going, Gingaman will probably slot in here)
05. Shinkenger
06. Ohranger
07. Carranger
08 (tie). Kyoryuger
08 (tie). ToQger
10. Go-Buster
11. Goseiger
12. Megaranger
13. Ninninger
14. Maskman
15. Magiranger
You'll notice I rank ToQger and Ohranger higher than some of the other shows I recommended -- that's because I don't think these series will appeal to everyone.
