I actually don't like Umeko either. I found her rather annoying, being written as a dummy just for the sake of it, and the bath sequences were stupid.

Umeko goes into my books as being one of the worst pink rangers ever just like I feel Ban is one of the worst red rangers.

I actually like that about Dekaranger. It's just a fun weekly action show made up of episodic done-in-ones and the occasional two-parter. It doesn't try to take a single story and stretch it across 48 episodes with a bunch of filler crammed in. I like a good overarching narrative as much as anyone, but I think episodic shows have their place, too.

I'm cool with it being episodic if its like a 13 episode show,but when it is nearly 50 episodes I need a plot and a central villain. I wouldn't have even cared if that villain showed up at like episode 40, just that there was a kingpin over seeing Aburera. I think the main problem is that the final battle didn't have any payoff because Aburera couldn't fight for ****. Well that and I'm not a fan of cop shows for that very reason, no big story arc.

On the other hand, I do appreciate Dekaranger more than I did when it first came out, but this is one of those few times where I think the Power Rangers version was a better show.
