I was pretty certain he killed her. He shot a beam at her, it enveloped her, she screamed, close-up of his face looking remorseless. I feel that if she survived, they would've shown her. It was definitely a Moral Event Horizon.

I can't say a lot for Go-busters, not having watched it much, but I get a general sense of what you're saying, and I think it's just unfamiliarity with a certain "style" of different countries' filming. When I was a kid, that turned me off Ultraman and other Tokusatsu because I was just not used to watching them, it felt so unfamiliar, so unsettling and yes, a bit cheap.
In fact, I feel this way watching anything not American. When I had my first glimpse at Doctor Who, I felt that same unsettled feeling. Even as a kid, while I enjoyed the Mr Bean episodes, I felt something was wrong. I enjoyed some Hong Kong and Korean dramas, but they felt too smooth and fake-feeling. When I started my first Super Sentai series, Shinkenger, I felt weird watching it fresh off Power Rangers RPM. RPM was fast-paced, lots of flashy lights with fights that were quick and gritty. Shinkenger was very drawn out, and the drawn out nature of things made it more easy to spot flaws inherent in Tokusatsu (both Power Rangers and Super Sentai). I told myself I would probably quit after a few episodes, but I was curious to see how the story went, so I stayed on. Once I got past the unsettled feeling, I began to enjoy it a lot more and I still do to this day. It's really just something you have to break in to. I'm not sure why we feel this way. It might be culture shock, but I suspect it has something to do with the video framerate or something, I don't know. Kind of like how the people who watched the Hobbit in 60fps felt it looked really fake. I'm from the UK, so I was brought up on as many American products as I was UK ones and as I grew up, I watched films from all over the world. All I know is the opening episode of Go-Busters felt cheaper than other Sentai I've watched. I mean in a sense DekaRanger looked shittier but it came out like ten years earlier. It was largely down to the special effects and sets, I can largely ignore the cardboard weapons and rubber monsters, it's how it's always been but that opening episode replaced as much of the practical stuff as it could with CGI and green screens but I've seen better quality CGI in Sentai years before this series. |

My problem with Go-Busters wasn't that it looked cheap.
But that it was just a bore to watch. I can deal with cardboard boxes and meh CG if the actors and script can sell them, but GB just couldn't.

I actually thought the mech fight was really fun in the opening episode, I loved how they showed shots through the cockpit window so it actually didn't just seem like some dude in a suit, although we all know it was.
That aside though, meh. |

I'm not denying the mech scenes aren't fun.
But I just wasn't as enthralled by them.

I admittedly haven't seen a lot of sentai.
Saw DekaRanger and I liked it way more than SPD. I liked Shinkenger but then I found it really lost its way in the middle and become mind numbingly boring and a chore to get through, especially since Sentai gets like twenty more episodes than most Power Rangers seasons. I watched Kyoryuger, I thought it was awful. I watched Jetman and I really, really like it. I watched DaiRanger and the opening episode is one of the worst things I have ever watched so I never went back to it. |
