I think it also comes down to different people wanting different thing out of shows. For instance, I'm a very character based viewer. If a show has characters I like and enjoy watching, I am massivley forgiving of plot holes and SFX failures. If I'm enjoying myself watching a charcter's adventures, I usually won't even notice most plot holes until they're pointed out to me. Other people might prefer plot, and any plot holes or continuity gaffes will take them right out of a show.

Therefore, one person can look at a show and declare it a masterpiece because it hits all their personal preference just right, while another will see an awful show whose good points aren't anything they really care about.

True that. A great plot doesn't mean shit to me if the characters are bad, but great characters don't mean shit to me if the plot is bad.

For a long time I just tried to focus on the action, and although it's still important, I'm now more demanding of shows with deeper characters and less continuity niggles. Like I think the action in Gaim sucks, but I tune in each week because the storytelling is rich and the characterisation is fascinating.

Sadly Gokaiger doesn't quite improve on the storytelling front, I know a lot of you shrug it off, but the fact that Gokaiger has less continuity and more lots of scenes placed in a vague order, makes it very hard for me. But it does have some of the best characters out of the sentai I've seen, which has made it so incredibly enjoyable so far, although I can't stand Doc at all.

It's not a Toku show, but that's how me and my one friend are with Dragon Ball. I love the sense of adventure and the characters, but my friend was constantly questioning why there was advanced technology, WWII-era fighter planes, and dinosaurs in the same few episodes. Stuff like that never bothered me, but it really bothered him.

I never really am bothered by stuff like that, but occasionally it does. I hate when in the middle of movies, one character has a sudden realization of everything that's going on, which seems to happen all the time. For a toku example, the first episode of Dairanger, where the red and (especially) pink rangers instantly knew how to transform and control RyuseiOh without anybody telling them. The pink ranger knew a couple minutes after meeting the rest of the team, which made absolutely no sense to me. Perhaps it's explained later on, but I couldn't get behind the show because of that.

I think Rin was already trained in Qi Power beforehand so none of it was a big new thing to her. Its pointed out a couple of times that she's the only one that can use Qi Power outside of her suit.

Unfortunately the show doesn't actually go anywhere with that plot point.

Rin was connected to some lineage of important blood in their universe but they mentioned it like once and they never focused on her again other than when she was getting her tits grabbed. Because she's a woman, and this is sentai, did you expect anything else?

Ryou though, there is no excuse. WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON. To immediately transforming and fighting better than the rest of the team who have been training for years. None of the suit actors matched up to the characters very well, and Daigo should have been red.

That doesn't really explain how she knew how to transform though, does it? Only how she knew how to fight. I don't think it would have been too hard to include a scene where somebody says "put this on, then do this" to explain it.

Went to episode one of Dekaranger and it was pretty good, not the best introduction episode but good, hopefully the rest of the series hold up.

You're definitely not wrong.

Well just finished the Go-Busters vs. Go-Busters movie and well it was pretty cool, and I just wish now that Black Puuuuuumaaaaa, and Green Hippo were in Go-Busters itself and not just in a movie and I wish the Beast Battery Sentai appears again.

Unfortunately since they were from a temporary parallel timeline/dimension, they're likely just gone On top of still wanting Beet & Stag Buster figuarts I've been dying for Hippo & Puma to get made too.
