I'm always glad to see someone talking about how much fun they're having with Sentai!
Go-Onger is one I haven't really touched yet, so I don't have much to comment on it (With all I've seen aside from random clips being the Gekiranger crossover).

Go-Onger is definitely one of my all time greats as well.
And clearly it’s one among the fandom, as during the year Kiramager (a show that also had the talking mecha angle) was airing, when someone ran a poll to see which Red/Mecha partnership people thought was handled best, Sosuke/Speedor beat out the other three candidates (Ryouga/Tyranno, Koh/Tyramigo and Juru/Fire) by a landslide. |

Personally I don't see how people could prefer Go-Onger to RPM, although yes it could be worse and it did admittedly have some positives it did kind of strike me as a discount version of Carranger!
Plus if someone genuinely prefered Go-Onger to Kamen Rider Kiva or Power Rangers Jungle Fury I would find that difficult to stay calm! The only things I probably like less from that year are Tomica Hero Rescue Force (because it doesn't seem as good as the great Ryukendo) and possibly Keitai Sousakan 7 although I might actually finish that one day being as admittedly it might be alright, plus I stumbled across a Korean toku called something like Environmental Garrison Wildforce from 2008 that looks interesting lol.

Being my first Sentai, which I watched as it was airing, Go-Onger naturally has a lot of sentimental value for me. It's the last season that Takegami wrote and they really need to bring him back at some point. I feel like his work is underrated. This season was full of sincere heart and comedy and despite occasionally tackling some dark themes, it never felt heavy due to the upbeat attitude of the characters who would always bounce back from any despair with their determination and charisma. Anyway, I'm just here to report on another "Machine Power" Sentai that I just finished: Turboranger. Awesome start to the Heisei Era! It was a very dramatic show focused on youth, friendship and love with a lot of passionate characters on both the heroes' and villains' sides. I'll be starting Gingaman in a few months to finish the Heisei Era (except for that one), right after I deal with 2 other shows on my watch list.

What people mistake as the weak point for Go-onger is actually what I think was the driving force(PUN INTENDED) behind its success. It wasn't childish, it was just full of energy. The characters all had distinct personalities, the suits were dope, the soundtrack was on point, everything was full of energy, it was the lighthearted and childish antics that helped differentiate from its sister show Kiva, and it was the one show that did cluster combination well with the G12 formation.
I loved the nod to liveman being the second Olympics palette team since Liveman as the Beijing Olympics were going on that year(Liveman aired the year the Seoul Olympics happened). The show was a perfect blend of Pixar's Cars, Abaranger, Carranger, Liveman, and Kakuranger for me and I think it is one of those shows that captures the essence of the franchise very well. AND YAGURUMA IS BACK AS A HERO FIGHTING EVIL IN A GOLDEN CHICKEN SUIT WHO PILOTS A SENTIENT GOLDEN CHICKEN APACHE CHOPPER.

With Dino Fury Part 2 (21 - 40) running in the spring on Netflix I'm finishing the rest of Ryu.

Does anyone remember Go-Onger being even that loved by the English-speaking internet actually in 2008? It's just I swear calling it a 'fan favourite' is a bit much when yeah the more serious shows did badly in toy sales but at least the fanbase of those shows are going to be a bit more dedicated! I understand why it had a lighter tone after Gekiranger, but I'm just not a fan of that cynical sort of manipulation (Carranger was actually good so it's a different story) and it wasn't that funny anyway! I wasn't the biggest fan of Go-Busters either, but I at least prefered it to Kyoryuger.
