Now mark my words. I went in to this show with incredibly low expectations. Gokaiger set the bar too high for this show to follow up well. And so after 2 or 3 episodes I was already immensely disappointed. Add to this the fact that the first half of the series is incredibly boring and I created a self-fulfilling prophecy that I would hate this show. But that second half pulled a major turn around that's worth watching at least once. I ate my words once this show finally gained steam. I just don't think Toei was ever able to figure out where they wanted to go with the series until really late into it.

I won't defend it as the greatest sentai ever. It will inevitably go down as the worst. But I think the case can be made that there are still plenty of things to enjoy.

This sounds like me with Goseiger for the most part.

at least with goseiger that had a gimmick with new cards towards the end of the series, with gobusters it's nothing but cat and mouse with no gimmick, i think if there was a major gimmick i think the ratings would be alot better.

I'm with you on this. I think Enter is actually one of the few (semi)-threatening villains in Sentai. Sure, he can be foolish because Sentai villains are never allowed to actually sniff victory, but he seems distant and calculating, which in-turn makes him a threat.

And as Den-O restated, the lack of spying in this "spy" sentai is incredibly frustrating. Covert ops and spying would have been a neat take on Sentai, but they just didn't use it.

If only they had kept with the theme/tone they set up in Ep3 (the hospital one)

Really? Because I think IX and XII are better than VII.

I never saw a single episode of RPM. Power Rangers stopped airing around me in the middle of Jungle Fury, so I have never seen the end to that series either.

That's odd, I think dying slowly of gangrene is better than XII. And only marginally worse than IX.

See, my top five favorites are:

1. VI
2. IX
3. XII
4. VII
5. IV

I pretty much went from "Meh" to "FF Hater" after being forced to play X.
So my opinion of FF is almost always negative nowadays

I loved hpw the megazord battles vaired from episode to episode, instead of "we kill the MOTW and then he grows, now lets get the mechs" formela. Also I love J.

Personally I really enjoyed Go-Busters and while Shinkenger and Gokaiger were excellent shows I think Go-Busters is on par with Go-Onger or Goseiger. As far as ratings slumping due to Kamen Rider, IDK. Personally Fourze was uninteresting and Wizard to me is just bland. Nothing tops W or OOO's.
