You will not regret watching Goranger. Despite of its unnecessarily high episode count, it is a very fun show from beginning to end complete with an extremely likable cast of characters. I watched it several months ago myself considering that this year is the 50th anniversary for both Goranger and Super Sentai as a whole.

I did the same earlier this year and had a ton of fun with it! Like you said, it had a great team and was legitimately laugh out loud funny (and occasionally even serious). Probably my 3rd or 4th favorite Showa era tokusatsu!

They would have chosen a ballet theme instead. But even though Goggle V found itself sandwiched between the innovative Dynaman and the bizarrely unusual Sun Vulcan, I still find the show worth watching beyond its franchise roots.

I think Goggle V is underrated. I've heard some people claim it's boring, but I'd say it was a significant transitional show in turning the formula towards more character-focused stories. By modern standards, it is average, but not in a bad way at all. Bioman is basically the refined version of innovative concepts introduced by Goggle V.

I see what you did there.

Take it in small doses. Goranger isn't even the longest show.

(looks anxiously at OG Kamen Rider)

Not sure about favorite Tokusatsu in general, but it's certainly my 4th favorite Showa Sentai and favorite Uehara Sentai.

I think this idea is quite reasonable. After Sun Vulcan, it became clear that the franchise wouldn't be abandoned, and the search began for ways to make it long-lasting, interesting, and relevant. And speaking specifically about character-focused stories (though not only), I can easily draw a rising line from Goggle V to Liveman.

Sometime, definitely.
