I've been loving Zi-O for what it is ever since it started, but it's definitely not a show that, at least at the moment, I would blame someone for disliking.

It's hard to argue that it hasn't been fairly thin in terms of story and characters, and it doesn't help one bit that this is coming right off of Build, a show that was just about the exact opposite even by the same point Zi-O is at now. Of course, Build is a bit of an outlier, which makes that comparison somewhat unfair, so I'll also point out that even the much-maligned Ghost had already developed its characters more by this point.

There's also the more unique problem of how Legend Riders and other guest stars are being handled. While Zi-O is leaps and bounds above something like Super Hero Taisen, it's clear Toei still doesn't have the best grasp on how to get the most out of returning characters (and this goes beyond them not getting to transform, which I don't think is a problem on its own). This is obviously one of the major selling points of the show, so them messing this up at all is obviously going to be disappointing.

There are problems specific to individual episodes we could get into, as well, but needless to say, and especially judging by the other responses in the thread, it is NOT any sort of heretical opinion to say Zi-O isn't that good.
