Ironically, as you watched the start, I’m nearing the end of the series (one episode left). I can say that it’s been a fun ride with some genuinely compelling villains throughout (compared to other shows, where how compelling a villain was depended on the episode). And compares to other shows with pollution themed bad guys like Gaoranger and Goseiger, it doesn’t play up the anti-pollution message to the point it takes up time, so it’s got that going for it.

It’s also unique in that unlike later high-school hero Toku shows (Megaranger and KR Fourze), it doesn’t put a lot of focus on the other students. Whenever there’s a school plot, most of the focus is on the main 5’s teacher Ms. Yamaguchi, who does start out at Ohsugi levels of bullying the protagonists because she feels like it, before being derailed for the better into a good teacher. (With some genuinely funny gags on the side)

Overall, I would recommend that if you’re interested in this series, watch it.

Ah yes, Ms. Yamaguchi. She was pretty much their J. Jonah Jameson wasn't she? Good times.
I mean she wasn't antagonistic to the rangers if I recall, but you know what I mean. She was just the perfect nosy teacher type.
