I do have to agree that music is something that can really make or break a roll call for me. Effects are something that don't really matter to me, since a dynamic pose can still be effective regardless of whether or not they get a color coded explosive behind them~
Does the length of the roll call matter? I'm curious, since teams like Gekiranger and Hurricanger have some that are pretty lengthy, while others like Kakuranger have short and sweet ones. Also, does what they say matter? Some simply call out their name, while others get a mini announcement.

Also, does what they say matter? Some simply call out their name, while others get a mini announcement. Ultimately length comes down to what they accomplish with it. Does it feel like it goes on for too long, or are you so captivated that you don't care? Being entertained, be it for an extended period or a brief one is all that matters. But that's certainly subjective. I do think that having a phrase can improve a roll call if it's a really good one. Be it a title for individual characters to elevate their status/powers or something before the team's name. To bring up Dairanger again, every character has a title and it ends with Ryu reaching towards the sky and proclaiming "Ten ni kagayake itsutsu boshi!(Shining in the Heavens are five stars!) followed by the teams name and the end of the roll call. That phrase, Shining in the Heavens are five stars, for some reason I just absolutely love it. It in a way sums up what the team is, shining brightly against darkness, the mythical nature of their powers. So something like that, something to invoke the audience in whatever manner can improve a scene. But, I don't think its necessary or would even work for every team. |

I was primarily curious since I found myself loving Gekiranger's call, which takes an eternity to finish (Shocking, I love Geki's ), but I then found myself bored by Kyoryuger's.
I really enjoy Dairanger's summary at the end of their roll call, too. It really caps things off in a cool manner.

I generally fastforward through them after the first time or two. In the modern shows, at least, they're just elaborate time-wasting stock footage. I do still like Gokaiger's, though, since all the poses really capture each individual character's personality. I also have a soft spot for Dairanger's, particularly the unmorphed version near the end of the series.

Can you really call modern ones stock footage when some older series will spontaneously warp to the side of a cliff after transforming despite having a battle beside a stadium?

I really like Liveman's transformations.
(I realize this image is from Gokaiger, but that's what it looks like)

Liveman's transformation was really more akin to 5 empty cubes, not that many
But roll call tho o-o

Yeah, but I couldn't find any images that were actually from Liveman, so I had to go with that one. Close enough.
