The BEST and WORST things about Gokaiger?

And on the subject of the vehicles: The entire series is just a random managerie of thrown together concepts. Galleon, Race Car, Semi Truck, Submarine, Jet, Giant Dinosaur/Tank/Mecha thing, and an Indy Car. And put them together and you get... Gaint Hand Vehicle-Legs GoKai-Oh. And I used to think the people who made Katamari Damachi were on good mushrooms.

Honestly, I really thought this was going to be the case for most of the first ep. That would have been really novel I think. And unfortunately the other vehicles just fly by so fast that you don't even get a chance to appreciate them or their design. They serve little purpose other than to merge so that the Gokaigers can put some new homage weaponry on Gokaioh.

This is especially irksome to me because most of my favorite meka are the ones which can serve a purpose and be useful unmergeged -- the 99 Machines come to mind, along with the GoGo Vehicles. The episode of GoGoV (which I saw when it was adapted to LSR) where they have to save the shuttle which is going down, and each one of the vehicles has to play a specific role, is one of my favorite meka sequences ever.

New BEST thing about Gokaiger:

Evidently my infant son LOVES when I say the names of the Super Sentai in the voice used when they do the Gokai Change. We were sitting on the floor before and I was saying "Goooo-kaiger!" and "Bouuuu-kenger!" and the like, and he busted out laughing every time.
