I can't believe they went the safe route to rehash kyoryuger again for sentai. They need to hire a better writer next year.

It honestly does not feel like you are interested in actual discussion here from this or ypur previous posts on the subject, it has been 13 episodes, Build and Ex-Aid where also slow and filled with toys at the start, that is nothing new for the franchise.

So far Zi-O has been far better then many of us believed the show would be, and a lot of people are warming up to the characters even though none of them fully gripped people at the start like the previous two seasons did, but they clearly have an ongoing narrative going and things are still changing here and there, many of us suspect that the plot is going to focus more after the first major power up shows up but we still have to see.

I also disagree with using the word fan service as a negative, there is a difference between bad fan service and what they have been doing in most of the episodes so far, there are a few " eh, it was okay I guess " episodes here in the first 13, but still overall they have been doing a good job.

The season is has a theme about previous riders for Heisei, but your argument is that that just makes it a cameo/fan service with no meat to it which is flat out untrue. Build had web shows as well, but I did not see people constantly being negative about them, they are for the most part just the actors having a bit of fun for a short segment with some info and silliness, I fail to see why that is a negative or something the season should be given the stink eye for.

Edit: No one is saying you need to like the show mind you, if you do not like it that is fine, but I cannot say you have made many well arguments about it when you are talking with others here, and for the record yet again, I was one of the people very negative about this season before it even started airing and a few people here might recall that in the various news topics etc. I honestly warmed up to the show personally, I also like the villains so far, overall they are not doing that much compared to the early episodes from previous seasons, and clearly the intro has been miles better then Ghost as an example.
