Not really though. My teachers in high school all talked about how people were celebrating the new millennium as being 2000 when in fact it was 2001. As such, we were the last graduating class of the 20th century and not the first of the 21st century.

Hence why I count the 90s Sentai as Jetman through Timeranger.

For 90's Sentai, I guess I'll go with Gingaman, though Kakuranger and Megaranger are pretty close. But Gingaman was a typical Kobayashi show AND had a fantasy theme so that sure makes it an obvious choice.

See, I thought Megaranger was really boring. Not that it was bad, it just was middle of the road. I've REALLY been wanting to watch Gingaman lately. Maybe i'll start that next after I get through what's subbed of Kamen Rider and I catch up/finish Ninninger (it takes me a while to get through a series)

This. Sorry, but saying 2010 is part of the 2000s just doesn't seem right to me. I mean, I see where you're coming from, but it's generally grouped by the 10s digit. So the 2010s would be everything that falls under 201X. But like I said, I get where you're coming from with the "there is no 0 year" aspect.

Megaranger was always kind of hitting that point of just "Average" for me. It wasn't mind numbingly boring, it wasn't jaw dropping amazing, it wasn't offensively bad, nor was it praise to the rooftops grand.

That's actually a bit of a detriment to it, in all honesty. I class it with Dekaranger in being so astoundingly average that it fails to leave a lasting impact on me.
Not bad enough to make me angry, not good enough to make me care.

It was also the first situation where my favorite character was also my least favorite character, so it just loves hanging at that crossroads for me

And so does Hero Getter, to an extent.

This opens up the whole argument of "BCE/Before Common Error/Before Christ" debate. Was the first first of time as we count it now 1 or 0? There is no way to know. Every calendar is different and aren't numbered. I think we are both right in a sense, but I do believe that a new decade starts when the second digit of the four digits change. If you believe otherwise, that is your prerogative.

This is basically how I felt about it too. And technically, just because the year ends with a 0, it is still the year 1 of the years that start with, for example, the number 9, so to me it makes perfect sense to categorise it like that. But seriously, I feel like this is getting a bit nitpicky.

Megaranger sure had its flaws and I wouldn't call it a very well-written series (because sadly, it certainly wasn't most of the time), but when Megaranger did things right, the show really rocked and I loved the characters a lot, especially Miku and Shun. It took me a while to get into it, but I had fun with it overall

You know being nitpicky is this fandom's forte lol. But it's entertaining, so I keep coming back.

If I had to pick a 2010 favorite sentai...I don't know if I can. Maybe I am just waiting for one to really jump out at me. I have liked all of the ones so far, pretty much the same

[Kamen Rider Lucha]

Oh, I like this topic.

My favorite of the '80s is Maskman, by default, as it's the only '80s sentai I've seen. But overall I'm not a huge fan of it.

My favorite of the '90s is Jetman (even though it feels more akin to '80s Sentai than any '90s Sentai that came after it), but it's close. I freaking love Kakuranger, Dairanger, and Carranger too. And I still haven't finished Mega, Ginga, or GoGoV, so this could always change. (But honestly, I don't foresee anything upsetting Jetman from the top spot... I just love that show so much.)

'00s Sentai is kind of a weak spot for me. I've only seen Magiranger, a little bit of Abaranger, and Shinkenger. Shinkenger is the easy winner of that decade, from what little I've seen.

Obviously '10s Sentai is still ongoing. I love love love Gokaiger, so that's the current one to beat.


As for the nitpicky time stuff... I think we measure decades differently than we do millenniums/centuries. Decades are less formal groupings. Like, yeah, 2001 is when we enter a new millennium. 2101 is technically when we'll enter the 22nd Century. But for decades, I've never heard anyone be like, "1990 man, that was the best year of the '80s." That just doesn't make any sense when we informally refer to decades as "The '70s, '80s, '90s, etc..."

Gingaman is another amazing Sentai. Only thing is that if you thought Megaranger was boring(I didn't) then I'd think you'd find Gingaman even more boring(it has a slower, more storylike pace).

I didn't think it was too slow or anything, I just thought the stuff that happened wasn't very interesting. None of the characters, whether good or bad, were interesting to me. I didn't really even like the monster of the week monsters. The only character that interested me at all was Yugande. Like, it wasn't BAD, I made it through 20 episodes so it must've done something right...I just didn't really care lol. Some day i'll finish it, but not now.

I still really want to watch Gingaman though, I love the designs in that series.
