Windspector was very good! Is there data for the ratings and popularity of the Metal Heroes series?

Unpopular opinion here, but based on what I've seen I think I will actually like Fiveman when I get around to it! I get it's not to the level of some of the sentai around the same time, but Turboranger doesn't stand out to me that much either despite the cool songs and 80s sentai being cool so I don't see why Fiveman would particularly be seen as worse on that score. Likely in my bottom 3 shows currently are Go-onger,Goseiger and Kyoryuger although one or two may be unpopular views and retrospectively I wasn't impressed with GoGo5 either so as for actual tone and characters Fiveman actually looks pretty decent to me based on about 3 episodes!

As far as I can tell, most of Fiveman’s failings were due to the toys. Few people thought the designs were appealing and those who did buy them reported them falling apart easily (one person reported a Five Blaster crumbling apart and turning yellow despite not being opened for years). The designer for Jetman-Kakuranger admitted on Twitter earlier this year that prior to being a Bandai designer, he was a toy store employee and he took the designer job because he saw how unappealing Fiveman’s toys were to children. When he told his boss about his new job, the boss’s response was “Make sure you design something we can sell”.
That aside, the show itself isn’t too bad. It’s competently made, there are some decent plots, the actors pull off their roles and Carranger got lower ratings. Though they do devote two whole episodes to promoting a new power up that didn’t get a toy (the Super Five Ball and the Super Five Tector), so I can kind of see why some would be turned off. |

Only two episodes of ToQger left and I got to say, this show is far better than it had any right to being and while I wasn't too keen on the train theme but god damn, a lot of it was well-executed.
