Six episodes seems like enough to get a fair impression of the series, so what are everyone's thoughts on the quality of Kyoryuger thus far??


Personally....



I like the series. The designs are very interesting, the characters are entertaining (with members playing off one another pretty well) and the action is very nicely shot.


ITs a bit too early to judge the overall story process but I do think Kyoryuger's not that well off in terms of pacing; they don't seem to space things out a bit to leave any real emotional impact. That could be even more noticeable in the future.

The designs are decent-inspiring, the heroes are fantastic, and the villains are garbage.

[ZeoRangerV]

The characters are fantastic, the villains pretty interesting and the action superb. My knocks against it would be the stupid samba dance, how fast paced some of the episodes are and Kyoryuzin when he's anything other than Western. ESPECIALLY his transformation sequence.

The positives definitely outweigh the negatives, but as much as I'm liking the show I still don't feel particularly attached to it and I can't work out why.

This show is absolutely beautiful in every measuerable way. The Suits are Epic, the Actors are Wonder, the Villians are Dynamic, and the Mechs are more Epic! And I am loving we're getting a real Gattai and another CG. Canderrilla and Luckyuro are by far the best of the DeBoss, and I really don't understand the hate towards them at all. Must have Figuarts of them, MUST!

This show has made me replace Tensou Sentai Goseiger has my favorite Sentai. From King, down to Turin, love them all so much. Not that I'm replacing Moune anytime soon. So kill that thought.

Kyoryugers is fast becoming one of my favorite Sentai shows of all time. Granted I only watched Shinkenger, Goseiger, Dekaranger, and Gokaiger so far, but Kyoryugers have the right mix of cast, costumes, mechs, villains, and action to make each episode fun to watch. I am hoping the quality will only go up from this point on.

It's...Adequate. To put it.

In terms of character, it's great. I like that, while common character archetypes, they're not cliched. The Kyoryugers are all interesting to watch and their comedy plays off each other really well. They each have room to grow, but it does seem like they're doing so.

The designs are hit or miss. The costumes have grown on me, but Kyoryujin still has not, with Western being the only one I like. The Deboss, design wise, are all over the place. I can't stand Canderilla's design, while the rest just vary from decent to meh.

The action is alright. Flashy and fast paced, but it seems to lack impact. The fight scenes really just seem to be them flailing around until they use the batteries to finally get some kills. It is still fun and energetic and enjoyable to watch, though.

However, the biggest flaw is pacing. As in, this show has no idea how it works. What should be delicate character moments get 4 minutes worth of screen time, while the monster parading around gets 6. Issues get resolved far too quickly for anyone to believe there was ever a real problem, and the characters connect seemingly off screen, going from antagonistic to aloof to "One of the gang" over the time span of one episode (IAN). It takes story arcs that could easily fill up two or three episodes (Nossan's family, Ian and Souji's alternate ideals, etc) and shoves them into one episode, along with another issue of the day. Coupled with the villains antics and screen time, these issues just get quietly resolved with hardly any fanfare.

In all, Kyoryuger is a fine series, but it moves too quickly for it's own good. I'm afraid, with how quickly it's bringing up and resolving stories, that it's going to meander during the middle like Shinkenger or OOO.
And it keeps putting Canderilla on screen. That's the biggest crime it's committing.

I freakin' love this one. Honestly, so far it's on track to be my favorite Sentai/Power Rangers series yet.

The characters are lovable, hilarious, and badass all at the same time, without being too much of any one in particular. It's fast moving, but I'm liking that so far. It's a stark contrast to the current Power Rangers season where they spend a whole episode on a single character and we learn next to nothing about them. It's a high energy show, and I think it would risk that quality if they slowed it down for parts.

I'm really liking the Kyoryuzin as far as mechs go. The Gabutyra + two others combo seems like a great idea, since it means they'll have several options for specialized purposes, as opposed to just continually adding every new zord they get to the pile. That got a little out of control in Samurai/Shinkenger. In this case, I think it was a smart move to keep it simpler, at least for early on.

The villains are alright too. A couple of them seem awfully benevolent for being antagonists of the series. It's hard to see a fun-filled spy and a joyful knight as being particularly evil. I laugh every time Luckyuro brings out that watering can though. The others are fairly typical for sentai villains. It's nice that they're tying in some actual history, making debo monsters responsible for the plague, the ice age, extinction of the dinosaurs, etc.

Best of all, it's just a blast to watch. I'm sure it's not hard to find flaws with the plot or the characters or the pace, but every episode is just such fun to watch. I can't ask for much more than that.

[bluesparrow]

It's fun and I like the cast a lot but I'm not really invested in the story at this point. I enjoy the episodes but I am starting to drag my heels on watching it and really don't have much interest in discussing it.

[Dr Kain]

I like it thus far. Far more energy than Go-Buster. The rangers are interesting. The villains are cool, but outside of the ending moment with Sorrow in episode 4, they are pretty much just standard fair. Nothing wrong with them, but nothing stands out either. The only real complaint I will say is the actor for KyoryuCyan was pretty awful. It seems like he was phoning it in, especially when he would cry out for Anklowhatever.

Actually, that is one thing about the show, I can never remember the names of any of the villains or dinos, so I've pretty much have resorted to just saying, the T-Rex, the Triceratops, The Sorrow, The Fury, The Joy, etc.

[Matrixbeast]

I don't get how you can't remember the dino names.
It's not like they say them every 2 minutes or anything.
