I just enjoyed Dino Thunder because it just felt like a breath of fresh air, strangely. They were still in high school, but they didn't go full on 90's (Like Ninja Storm, which I hated). Connor was an athlete, but didn't participate in everything mildly sports related, just what he enjoyed, Kira was a bit of a cliche, but she wasn't a full on valley girl, while Ethan was a nerd and rather smart, but couldn't build a damn time machine in his backyard with a spring and a battery.
After surf ninjas, Dino Thunder actually felt rather grounded, which I enjoyed. They did get cheesy at times (More than just Lost and Found in Translation), but it's just something you deal with in PR. For Wild Force, that season's only real appeal to me was the designs. The story really didn't interest me, while the themes of pollution and the like was just pushed too much.

What I loved about the three DT rangers is how even if the three possessed some High School stereotypes, they did more than that, for example Conner really finds out that he really gets along with his fellow rangers, Ethan has style and can fight for himself, and Kira's not just a weird Avril wannabe, but is very kind and sweet like Ranru.
I actually really like Ninja Storm lol, it was my first season so I'm partial to it but I liked it, found it funny. Dustin's my go to favorite Yellow ranger alongside Kira, and loved Cam and Tori as well. |

I just couldn't deal with Ninja Storm.
I watched it as it aired, but it was always just because it was Saturday morning and the other channel didn't have anything better ![]()

Ninja Storm and Dino Thunder are some of my least favorite of the PR seasons and the Sentais are so much better to me. Ninja Storm just failed in terms of it being more comedic and humor compared to Hurricanger which has humor, but Ninja Storm seemed to push harder and more into that comedic style. Dino Thunder is just bleh for me and the characters are just bland and stereotypical for any show set in high school.

Ninja Storm just felt so desperate.
They're ninjas, something kids almost always find to be awesome, but apparently someone thought they weren't cool enough, so they made them all participate in extreme sports and use 90's slang. I really, really couldn't get behind it.

Yeah, even as a kid it wasn't that great. I still watched it because Power Rangers, but it was definitely the first season that started making me not want to watch. Until Cam became a ranger, that's when I lost my shit and loved the show until it went back to its usual shit.

I think the last PR season I watched was In Space. I remember seeing a couple of episodes of Lost Galaxy and bought the Megazord (half of which was stolen -_-) but that's when I started to outgrow it.
Here I am, in my mid-20s, watching Super Sentai.

I watched up to RPM. I never really grew out of it because I'm a dork like that.
I migrated over to Sentai not because it's superior, but simply because I ran out of Power Rangers to watch ![]()

I grew out of it and I grew out of it hard. When I was about 19 or 20 my little brother had gotten into it (7 or 8) so I played with some of the toys with him again, but other than that I never got back into it. I got into Sentai when I was going through my Godzilla phase and then got burnt out on it when everybody else I knew became obsessed with it too, so I looked elsewhere to get my toku fix.
I still can't do power rangers. The goofy names, poor dubbing, and awful acting is just too cringe-worthy. Every time I've tried watching an episode on tv I just couldn't do it. Sentai for me.

I watched up until the end of Mystic Force originally. Ninja Storm, Dino Thunder, and SPD especially wore me down and diminished my enjoyment of the series. I just watched Mystic Force because of the medieval setting...too bad it had annoying characters and a bad story. But obvious I came around since I'm watching Dino Charge and eventually watched RPM and loved it to death.
