Having now done the list, I'm thinking I didn't do that good a job and it's too Sentai-dominated! I think despite the late KR resurgence at the end of the year for me I kind of miss when it was Kiramei,Zero-One and Beast Morphers IMO!

Favorite New Show of 2021

Kirameiger if I can have it or Zenkaiger.

Favorite New-to-You Show of 2021

Choujinki Metalder. It was just so good, sorry if it's a spoiler but the ending was sad though, but I just loved how every little thing felt really majestic, like when God Neros is saying some absolutely horrendous plan while that dramatic music plays!

Favorite Movie, Miniseries, or Special of 2021

I suppose Kirameiger Bee-Bop Dream although perhaps if Ryusoul vs Lupin vs Pat is allowed that might just edge it!

Favorite Rewatch of 2021

I'm not sure I will keep going to quite the same degree with rewatches as I have been given in the past I haven't done it much, but probably my anniversary rewatch of Power Rangers Time Force, yeah!

Favorite Male Lead Character

I suppose Kaito from Zenkaiger.

Favorite Female Lead Character

I think Sena from Kirameiger.

Favourite Supporting Characters

Maybe Zox and Flint from Zenkaiger? I definitely like Flint anyway.

Favorite Villain

I suppose Yodonna from Kirameiger though her ending was a bit weird if I remember rightly.

Favorite Returning Past Character

(My first thought was did any?!) Some suit in a teamup movie lol

Favorite Actor

Masayuki Deai from Revice, it's a tough decision but I just like that role for him a bit better than Tessai and it's a kind of 360 going from an anti-establishment figure in Boukenger to 15 years later almost a bit like Satoru Akashi, although I admit I don't like how the story with him is going now!

Favorite Actress

I might just go for Sena(Yume Kinjo?) again, tough decision but yeah.

Favourite Writer/Director

Did Yasuko Kobayashi do Kirameiger? Whoever did Kirameiger anyway!

Favorite Suit Design

Possibly Magine or Zyuran either transformed or not?

Favourite Fight/Dramatic Scene

That Zenkaiger cliffhanger involving loads of different mecha being summoned to start a big fight was pretty cool.

Favorite Comedic Scene

Maybe the line when Secchan in Zenkaiger said not to answer a question with another question "tune" lol

Biggest "WTF did I just watch?" Moment

In a recent Revice episode when Masayuki Deai's character has seemingly gone bad and he goes quite over the top being threatening lol Perhaps an honourable mention for the Zenkaiger beach episode though!

Favourite Song

If I can have Kirameiger I suppose the theme song could stay at the top of the chart for another year lol

(I rarely actually buy merchandise so I don't feel like I can really comment on that, sorry!)

Biggest Surprise of 2021

Zenkaiger was a surprise too, but I think I might give it to Revice (especially being as it's too much of a Sentai list anyway!) for just the level of improvement in my book.

Biggest "Not-So-Good Thing" of 2021(Marginally less negative lol):
Although the controversy of course with Vice's V/A playing an anti-hero sort of character while in real life having a dodgy past is not ideal...I think I will give it to Power Rangers Dino Fury or as I like to call it: Turbo Wild-Force! It just is disappointing to go from 6 years of relatively high quality to a flawed show with IMO an inferior counterpart of Gaisorg and a bit of a disappointing execution of quite a few firsts too!
