There is no one solid metric for measuring what'll do well with audiences worldwide or in different areas of the world. Sometimes it's as simple as certain personas other times it's as complicated as tone and subject material.

Sometimes something as kitschy as cubes can be a hit, sometimes something more complicated like Go-Buster can be a hit.

It can vary.

There is no such thing as one size fits all on distaste or recipe for success, and it's all dependent on the audience and what in particular speaks to them, which can vary as much as people do.

So there really is no "universally beloved" and "universally loathed."

Despite the my lacking in the religion department, I don't mind that "angel" aspect of Goseiger cause I see them as angels of a different breed; the show was focused on "guardian angels". Personally, at the time of Goseiger's original release year, I found it to be somewhat interesting with the villain shifts because the information as to who or what would take over after Warstar was slow and therefore built up the question.

I do believe tastes can vary. Take Changeman! The last Sentai with ONE Mecha! I originally viewed it as a drop in the bucket, but found it to be very entertaining in the long run.

Some say Go-Busters was too different, but I actually enjoyed the series and am curious as to how PR will handle it.

It's also difficult to get an accurate reading on something like this due to the simple fact that only so many have seen EVERY Sentai series and movie and special in existence. Some will judge based solely on what they know.

Are there some Sentai that are collectively hated? It's possible. Then the question becomes: Does "collectively" translate to "universally"? By my assessment, jury is deadlocked! So yes, I agree with the idea that "universally" need not belong in the argument.

To each his or her own!
