Gingaman was many things. It was one of the gigs that kickstarted Shoei's career as Gouki/Ginga Blue, Teruaki Ogawa returned to the franchise post-Kakuranger and became one of my favorite bangai senshis to date. Of course, this was one of the first traits of a Kobayashi-penned sentai where
the red ranger is someone that was not planned to be
and also Norio freakin Wakamoto was a talking tree aided by a acorn fairy.
The seijuu designs, both the organic and mechanic versions, are on point and Gingaioh is one of those "very standard yet designed and structured well" type of deal in my opinion. Speaking of, this was the second show to have a simian motif robot Kakuranger being the first, and both shows had Ogawa in it. That said, Gingarilla is one of my favorites, the Ginga Blue suit is also a favorite of mine, and I loved the subplot Gouki had with Yuuta's teacher. Also loved how Yuji Kishi who played Kyosuke/Red Racer in Carranger appears as a totally different character playing the white collar snob who is competing with Gouki for the affection of Yuuta's teacher.
The art direction for the civilian looks is very interesting too. It has some Ainu and Indigenous vibes going for it. And finally the suit. This is where 90s sentai shows shined. Nothing complicated yet a simple white background with a black zigzag line and voila a design that resembles the teeth of beasts. That is crazy how it works well when you consider their motif.
