I'm glad you got into KR, because there's so much to love. Once you go back and start watching shows like Gaim, OOO, Double, or Den-O, you might see why Ghost is falling flat with some people (Keyword being might).

Also Drive caught on with a lot of people around the early 20's, from what I heard.

Sentai is a bit different, because it kind of adheres to a formula, so it's not shaking things up that people enjoy (Which is why I'm surprised Go-Busters didn't catch on with the Western audience)

1. I kind of figured that was the case, but still. I thought Ghost was way more interesting than Jetman, which is generally considered one of the best. Maybe I'll have to watch some of the more well-received recent series (Gekiranger...I swear I'll get to it some day) to make a more accurate comparison, but still.

2. Drive is much more focused than Ghost, and even with Drive I can tell there's a lot of room for improvement. So I already can see it (though I still enjoy both)

3. I guess the formula has just gotten repetitive for me. Maybe I don't actually enjoy it after all? I started off watching Sentai for PR nostalgia, and then I kept watching it because Toku. Now that I got into KR, which I actually enjoy for what it is, Sentai doesn't really have any appeal for me anymore? I guess we'll just have to see as time goes on. I still need to watch a couple of Sentai series (mainly Gekiranger, Abaranger, Carranger, and the rest of Liveman)

I'm currently watching Fur Affinity Rangers, and while I'm enjoying it and it's fun, I can tell Sentai is the inferior franchise (in my personal case) when it comes to all the toku series I watch. However, in terms of being able to sit down and watch the show, it stomps on Ghost hard. I still don't know how I made it to episode 30 of Ghost.

I loved Drive from the beginning as well. In fact, I think I enjoy MOTW episodes with KR, while in Sentai it kind of feels like a drag to me. Maybe it's just because I enjoy the two-part formula?

I'm not gonna lie, Ghost quickly lost my interest once I caught up and had to wait for new episodes, but when I was in the process of catching up, I was completely addicted. I sped through what was available incredibly fast. I think I'm going to wait for it to get a bit further before I catch up again, so I can watch it in chunks.
