Its average. Like I've said before there's a lot to like about Go-Busters, it just lacks the heart to make it a really good show. I've seen worse Sentai series for sure.

I think Gobuster did the biggest no-no by combining realism (suits, fights) with total unrealistic things (robobuddies, roleplay toys with no actual gimmick to them, etc.).
Kamen Rider Fourze isn't a highly rated Kamen Rider (lowest this era actually) but the toy sales are among the highest ever. That in itself makes it "profitable" and "successful" to TOEI and Bandai. At the end of the day the show is intended to sell a product (was not intended to be that way in conception but since then it is). Gobusters isn't selling as much as Gokaiger did, meaning Gobuster is a lower rated and lower selling Sentai. I predict next year will see a change back to "normalcy" because that formula works, where as this new formula does not.

I'm not following this series as it just doesn't interest me at all. Fourze isn't the typical brooding Rider but at the end of the day his show is much better than this lukewarm attempt at spy shows.

The thing with Fourze is, the freaking Foodroids have been far more useful than the god damned Buddyroids in Gobusters. That is sad when the Buddyroids have their own personalities, and yet, they have done little to nothing to help the show.

Thanks to KR Meteor I've been watching Go-Busters, along with Goseiger again because it's awesome, and I don't see why it's failing. I like it. Everytime their braces call out It's Morphin Time! I can't help but smile. I think it's because of Gokaiger. Everyone was so in love with it, for some reason, that whatever came next was bound to do worse. Same thing with Wizard. You watch, it'll do worse than Fourze. Or I just have a weakness for things hardly no one else likes. Goseiger Go-Busters Decade Coke when they changed the formula.

Looks like kids are the ones that really don't like it in Japan.

Sadly, I am not surprised Gobusters is bad though. Look at Toei's track record in the last several years (bad does not mean downright terrible, but also not good, just like good does not have to mean amazing, just good enough):
GaoRanger - Good Hurricanger - Bad AbaRanger - Good DekaRanger - Bad MagiRanger - Good Boukenger - Bad GekiRanger - Good Go-Onger - Bad Shinkenger - Good Goseiger - Bad Gokaiger - Good Gobuster - Bad I was really hoping Gobuster would break this curse similar to how Kamen Rider W/OOO/Fourze broke the curse of every other rider series being bad. |
