Of the Super Sentai titles made during the Showa era (1975-1988), which is the best?

Another tough one- I like Sun Vulcan... I really like Liveman... but Battle Fever J is a special brand of wacky. Prolly not a favorite of many, but there you go.

Every time I see the term Showa I think of Shower Dynaman is the one that made the most impression on me, so I'm going with that.

Liveman - It was pretty big at the time given that Shima Daisuke(Amemiya Yusuke/Redfalcon) and Mori Megumi(Misaki Megumi/Bluedolphin) were already well-known entertainers. The story is still pretty interesting.
Denjiman - The suits felt very advanced for toku at its time. Simple yet awesome. Last edited by Sunred; 01-27-2012 at 03:29 PM.. |

In case you missed it last year, TV Asahi aired a Super Sentai 35th Anniversary special before Gokaiger aired. Based on a poll they conducted, here are the top five Showa era Super Sentai titles:
1. Himitsu Sentai Goranger (1975) 2. Choujuu Sentai Liveman (1988) 3. Choudenshi Bioman (1984) 4. Taiyo Sentai Sun Vulcan (1981) 5. J.A.K.Q. Dengekitai (1977) Having Goranger at #1 was obvious and predictable, as it was the very first Sentai show. Despite having the shortest run in the franchise, J.A.K.Q. apparently has a very large cult following. But perhaps the biggest surprise of this list is Bioman, as it's not really talked about much online.

I voted Liveman, but that's the only one I've seen much of. I liked what I've seen of Goranger, JAKQ, and Battle Fever J, as well.

No surprise that Liveman is in the lead.
I voted for Bioman, as it was the title that got me started with Super Sentai. Liveman, Sun Vulcan, Flashman and Battle Fever J round up my top five.

Liveman for me, with Maskman a close second.
