I'm super curious why the increased casualties make it a better show for you.

I guess the easy answer is that Kuuga just left a lasting impression for me because I was so shocked at how brutal the Grongi were. Some monsters in these shows are practically harmless while others may consume a few humans as a food source, but the Grongi kill thousands as a game. There are untold casualties in newer ones (especially when towns are wrecked) but Kuuga's show telling the death count was very impactful and kept me on my toes. It gave a sense of urgency for Godai and the others to defeat the bad guys.
