Just... yeah, you've put pretty well a lot of the positives I found with the show last year; it's super good stuff!

Oh no, I'm rambling about Timeranger again! No one can stop me once I get too worked up over this kind of stuff!

I think one of the big things for me with this show is that I really enjoy the dynamic between the Timerangers themselves, which is vitally important since they are the characters we will see the most of. The character relationships among the Timerangers in particular are very natural and consistent feeling, but also have depths. Like, Tatsuya tends to both annoy and endear himself to his fellow Timerangers with his busybody personality and the other Timerangers tend to react to that busybody behavior in varied ways depending on the person and situation, but in a way that almost always feels natural instead of just forcing conflict for the sake of it. This show is shaping up to have my favorite Red, Green, Yellow, AND the only Red-Blue dynamic I've ever actually enjoyed. If Ayase really blows my mind maybe he can even steal the best Blue spot from Gouki from Gingaman. Yuuri is probably the least interesting to me right now, but she is far from bad and that's really a testament to the show's quality that even the "worst" character is plenty interesting!

Honestly, one of the most consistent issues I take with Sentai as a series is how it tends to not take advantage of the whole "team" aspect, which is something that ideally should be a major positive point that differentiates it from other toku shows. A lot of other Sentai shows suffer from at least one of these issues with how the team is handled: some characters fall by the wayside, characters don't get to do anything interesting if the episode isn't about them, or characters just don't really interact with some of their teammates in meaningful ways. I think Timeranger has managed to avoid the worst of these issues.
