Anyway, this is the first Sentai to be head written by Hirohosa Soda instead of Shozo Uehara.

Kyo (Dino Charge) has shipped so I will resume this once I finish Go Busters
Also Kira Mage Ranger has concluded so I will see if I can get it next month. Both are Mylasian sets with English subs.

Stick with it. It drags in the middle, but the endgame is one of the best in all of Sentai. The last 15-ish episodes are straight fire.

Finally finished Shinkenger. It's a decent series but vastly overrated in my opinion.
There are elements of the show I do like as in the samurai theme, some of the mecha, the ranger suits as well as the weapons, and the fight scenes plus its opening theme song. There are even couple of episodes I did end up enjoying. Juzo in particular had a great first appearance and is a very good villain who is unfortunately very under-utilized. Dayu suffers from the same issue which is a real shame since Romi Park did a great job with one of the few characters especially on the villains side of things that's actually interesting. If I have pick a favorite(s) among the rangers of this series, it's easily Mako and Chiaki. I even liked Genta and given how at least half of the Shinkenger fanbase disliked the character, that's really saying something. I do understand them not liking him though. I honestly don't find him as annoying as I thought he would be and it helps that he is the one who usually brings some much-needed life to the show that I honestly feel gets rather dull at times. Sadly, there are times in the show where it feels like it's going through the motions where you're practically just waiting for the obligatory giant mecha battle just to get the episode(s) out of the way. I want to like Shinkenger, I truly do. All in all, out of the Sentai series with Yasuko Kobayashi as the head writer I've seen so far, Timeranger is still her best work. And now it's onward to Tensou Sentai Goseiger. Last edited by GuardianAngel87; 04-19-2021 at 11:59 AM.. |

Goseiger tends to be a divisive series. Some are ardent lovers of it, others absolutely despise it. I feel it's pretty good, though it definitely slogs at some points.

It's kind of just not so good by default for me despite not minding some of it back then and I did think the middle group of villains were the weakest IMO, props to the show for somehow in a way managing to still have a marginally dark tone despite some elements of it though.

I'll stand in favour with Gosei also. I think it has a lot of charm, and like tomos says, it approaches some weighty themes despite how it might have been perceived based on first impressions alone.

Goseiger is my second favorite. Very fun show. Very unique characters. Has a lot of continuity, which really surprised me when watching it. And it manages to make the "Never give up!" message of Megaforce work, by simply punishing the Rangers each time they don't live up to their own ideals. And all the villains have interesting dynamics.
Love that show!
