Just feels like they hit a reset button on the progress they had made MMPR to Wild Force. I'm sure they'll get better as they go onto other seasons.

Consider this my first post on this site, yay. As for Samurai, I'm sorry but the whole ordeal with this show so far has been rather meh for me, especially the acting feeling so bad and even cringe worthy at times. Heck I just started watching Season 1 and 2 of MMPR from Netflix and even the acting from those shows were miles better and this is MMPR we're talking about here. Oh well, if anything this show, as terrible as it may seem, has produced one hell of a toyline. If only distribution hasn't been so terrible here I'd be able to appreciate it more and from the looks of it, I'm stuck with either Toys'R Us (which still has mostly Wave 1 stuff) or hunting for the figures online, which is something I never expected to occur with Power Ranger items.

I like aspects of Samurai, but so far I've only seen the first episode. I'm more looking forward to the next PR project.

Wow, I'm the first person to vote yay. Weird.
I'll be honest and say I don't find Samurai a particularly good show, but my vote for yay is due to the fact that it has made Power Rangers bigger than it has been since the old Saban era days. Somehow it gets the job done, thrilling kids despite its poor dialogue and acting. It also delivers great toys that keep throwing surprises here and there. From the action figures, to a great looking Zords, to the surprisingly awesome DX Mega Blade, to the TRU imports of SH Figuarts Shinkenger, Samurai has been the source of many good toys. Plus, in a way, Samurai grew on me after a while and I came to like these guys. You get to see improvements in the acting of some such as Alex Heartman (Jayden) and even Britanny Pirtle, who, while still not stellar, has shown marked improvements since the first few episodes. The visual effects are also fantastic, with details that will boggle the mind. I can confidently say that this remains the most seamless splicing of Sentai and American footage that Power Rangers has had yet. It is certainly the best looking Power Rangers has been in terms of video presentation. In addition, this may be a weird thought, but considering how badly it started, the only way Samurai can go is up, and this is evidenced by the improvements made as the season progresses. There are many surprises such as new combos, new powers, new suits (the Mega suits), and even story alterations (Deker and Dayu). The fact that the next season is called Super Samurai is at least intriguing. Finally, the greatest thing about Samurai, for me, is that it brings hope. It brought life back to Power Rangers for the public audience, and who knows, given the extra resources at their disposal due to its success, future Power Rangers may be better scripted, casted and directed. The success of any future Power Rangers series might possibly be owed to the success of Samurai. In a way, for me, Samurai is like (forgive me fans) the Transformers film series. I'm not a huge fan of them, but they grew on me, were charming, and were the economic powerhouses for the Transformers franchise. As such, like with them, I'm grateful to have Samurai.

Just wishing that they would release two versions of the Sentai shows. The Americanized ones, and the original versions.

Toys are yay, show is nay, overall average is meh.
Some episodes were good, such as the "movie", and the introductory episodes for the auxiliary Zords, but that's about it. The bride one made me want to punch a hole in my soul. Acting's horrible, too. |

I'm more in the middle of meh and nay, the plot is meh, the acting is bad by power rangers standards, the addition of bulk and spike, while funny at times they really serve zero purpose on the show.also the puns, yes power rangers are known for them but for some reason the puns in this season have been awful. I do like the megamode suits though.
