I spent the day sorting through and re-reading a few thousand e-mails from 2010, and it was really a blast from the past. What a year it was.
Thanks for an awesome 9 years, and for some great e-mails along the way.

As always, I read all of my e-mail and can be reached with questions/comments/concerns/hate mail/and plain ol' hellos at moot@4chan.org (or on AIM at MOOTCHAT).
tl;dr version of 2010: "SPAM, SPAM, SPAM, and VIRUSES: The Movie"

OK guys, here it is: the final rankings of the top Super Sentai series, as voted by you gentle/m/en.

The way the voting worked out, I decided it would be easier to make a top 10 list, since it 1) grouped together the absolute best according to you guys, and 2) didn't show some of the really low-ranking series that might upset some of you guys.

Well, I should say top 10 plus 1, since I threw Akibaranger into the mix. It ranked very high amongst the others, but since it's technically not a Sentai, we had a little trouble figuring out where to put it. But since it's so loved, I stuck it on at the end.

I used the old series guide as the template for the list, so if it looks familiar... that's why. I also left space for you guys to write any notes that people need to know about each series before watching, such as Gokaiger being a celebration of ALL Super Sentai series, or Akibaranger for reasons stated above.

Maskman just missed the cut, while Changeman only had one or two votes.

/m/ has shit taste. At least we can be one of the few to truly enjoy a show that has ghosts playing baseball, and two monsters shoving each other while eating a candy house.

But seriously, /m/ hasn't really watched it. There whould be WAY more panty shots posted of mermaid if it was mass seen.

This isn't even the teams coolest member.

Expect a grittier take on sentai with a relatively serious atmosphere, though bear in mind it's old - so the special effects and camp suits might dampen that a bit, it's still got some pretty grim stuff going on and probably the best cast of sentai main villains ever.

Unfortunately, blue and yellow are there solely for gag material (which is a shame, since yellow could have been awesome if they'd played him as the guy that lacked skill but put in effort, but they touched upon that a few times and the rest it was just crap comedy). Some of the MOTW are crap too - expect a mix of serious episodes and some awesome MOTWs with a selection of mediocre filler episodes.

Definitely worth a watch though, the teams Black is the best sentai character ever, Red isn't bad either.
>>
>>8789694

I just downloaded the subs for both Jetman and Liveman. I can't wait to get to Jetman, especially how much of a badass Black Condor was in Gokaiger.
>>
>>8789705
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ZW_sEorxW0

He's the best. I'm eternally butmad he got such a crap MOTW for his focus episode.

I honestly feel Zyuranger is better in most regards than Jet. Special effects had advanced a bit, mech was infinitely better, it's "main story" episodes were about as good, it's filler was imo better than jets (mostly due to the contrast between jets serious and none serious, Zyu's was a bit more balanced), I loved prettymuch every member of the Zyu team, whereas Jet Red and Black are awesome, but the other 3 are mediocre at best.

I still voted Jet above Zyu, based solely on Gai.
>>
>>8789694
>Black Condor
>best sentai character ever

He's right up there, definitely.

But I'm sorry, and I'mma let you finish, but Beet J Stag is the greatest ranger of all time. All time.
>>
Alright! All three of my top 3 made it on there!

>>8789595
>>8789616

But why is it so surprising? It's a really well-written show with a lot of great characters. Sure it has a couple of aspects that some people aren't happy with (fursuits and giant fight commentating), but it's not as if they actually detract from the show as a whole.
>>
>>8789724
What? Gai is way more badass than J. Also, KirinRanger.
>>
>>8789767
I hate both of those things pretty vehemently.

I still enjoyed Gekiranger quite a lot, and I'm not happy with CGI to boot. The show as a whole was enjoyable and well put together.

They get special props for doing a great job on the MOTW designs for the most part, though they really fucked up on Snake - lots of them really impressed me.
>>
>>8789767

It was only surprising that it ranked SECOND on the list. Of all the Sentai ever, it was a bit of a shock come second only to Jetman.
>>
>>8789843
I must admit, I didn't expect it to be that high - but I wasn't expecting Go-busters to be ranked so highly either, I didn't bother picking it up because I have enough on my plate trying to finish older sentai series without picking up currently airing ones. Now I feel like I'm missing out.

Bit sad maskman didn't make the cut either, probably the only series I like more than jet/zyu.
>>
>>8789867

Yeah, Go-Busters was a shocker too, especially after reading a lot of the venom that /m/ had for it over the past year.
>>
>>8789557
Simple. Both Maskman and Changeman are not fully subbed.
>>
>>8789867
Go-Busters' endgame arc is in-fucking-credible.

You pretty much are missing out. And hey, it's not airing anymore.
>>
>>8789694
>Unfortunately, blue and yellow are there solely for gag material
Hey fuck you too, Ako is probably my favorite Sentai member of all time.
>>
>>8789722
>(mostly due to the contrast between jets serious and none serious, Zyu's was a bit more balanced), I loved prettymuch every member of the Zyu team, whereas Jet Red and Black are awesome, but the other 3 are mediocre at best.

Maybe I'm just an anomaly, but I felt almost the opposite here. I thought Jetman balanced serious and non-serious episodes MUCH better than Zyuranger. And as for the teams, I loved everyone on Jetman, but for Zyuranger, I was only really fond of Geki, Goushi, and Burai.
>>
>Geki right behind Jetman.
/m/ has good taste after all.
>>
>>8790046
Yeah, I've got about 4 sentai series on the go atm though as well as whatever showa subs KITsubs churns out - so I'm not going to pick it up immediately, it wasn't even on my radar before though, so the charts done some good at least.
>>
>>8790092
I'm not saying they're bad characters, but they really didn't do anything other than gag episodes when they were focused on. I really wish they'd handled Raita differently, as I'd have loved to see a Getter TV series Musashi style "behind everyone else in terms of skill, but tries hard as hell and makes up for it" development go on, but mostly he seemed to be reserved to getting kicked in the crotch and silly stuff like the Tomato monster.

>>8790093
Eh, you might be right. I just found Zyu had a pretty light tone most of the time, so when they did a flat out gag episode (like Goushi falling in love with bikes), it was still completely silly, but seemed to fit better than some of the Jetman filler since Jetman seemed pretty grim throughout the whole of the series, then throws you a curveball when a gag episode turns up. Not preaching my opinion of fact though, I enjoy both series immensely and struggle to consider either better than the other.

>I was only really fond of Geki, Goushi, and Burai.
Geki is one of my favorite reds, Goushi is second only to Gai and probably my favorite member of the Zyu team, everyone loves Burai, but I also think Mei is probably one of my favorite pinks.

Dan and Boi aren't anything special, but I at least didn't dislike like them and their focus episodes were usually fun. I struggle finding any yellows I like (Raita feels like a squandered opportunity) and when it comes to blues that are fitting the "blue is the young and / or childish member of the team" character type thing, I think the only blue that's done it better is in Maskman, it's hard to do without being annoying (ie; Gao and arguably jet, though I risk invoking the wrath of Mr. Ako fan).
>>
>>8790167
Hey, my opinion is only opinion as well. No reason we can't both believe what we believe.

And yeah, Goushi was definitely my favorite of the Zyuranger team.
>>

I'd add episode descriptions along with number of episodes. Whenever I talk to someone about toku who doesnt know anything about it the number of episodes is always one of the things that surprises them.

This is more of a personal gripe than anything, but you'll hate the word "Niisan" by the time you're done with Zyuranger.

This should really be renamed to /m/ power rankings of currently subbed sentai. Not that I dislike any of the shows on the list, but things will definitely change as some other projects get finished in the coming year even.

How long was this voting up for? I completely missed it. Also, what kind of voter numbers did we have?
>>
>>8792020

It was up for 3 days (including today) and the final post count numbered in the 130s. And surprisingly, most of the posts were votes instead of incessant bickering. Which, of course happened.
>>
If Akibaranger would have been #2 behind Jetman if it was eligible, right?
>>
>>8792027

I can't remember the exact numbers, but I know that AkibaRanger was DEFINITELY in the top 3 at the end of the voting.
>>
You going to do a Kamen Rider one?

Would be between Agito/W.
>>
>>8792031

I would, but the only KR series I've seen in its entirety is Blade (I know... I know). And my backlog for series is so huge, I can't catch up on any KR stuff, so me doing a KR list would be kinda pointless. Somebody with more knowledge and passion should do it.

Here's an updated version with a few minor tweaks.

We still need stuff for ZyuRanger, Sun Vulcan, and Liveman.
>>
>>8792985

Why is GekiRed getting a lot of focus a bad thing? Jan's story was really good.
>>
>>8792985

For Zyuranger:

+Nice suit design
+First good-looking Sentai mecha
+Plot-related episodes are great
+Fantastic, competent main villain

-Kids are part of every episode and are oftentimes annoying
-Blue and Yellow have little character and personality
-Filler episodes can be entirely skippable

>>8793117

-Annoying kids in every episode

It's honestly the most detracting factor of Zyuranger.

Basically it combines too many robots to form one robot. It makes the robot look incredibly over-designed, bulky, and they're just clusterfucks.. I don't know why that's listed under Gokaiger since the robot I'm thinking of really wasn't that bad, but in Shinkenger you've got pic related. Also related, Engine-o G12 from Go-onger.
>>
>>8793185

You know, with as much as people are putting Jetman on a pedetral

I hope to god that it will blow my pants off... or else it will be the same thing as with Kamen RIder Kuuga
>>
>>8793201

But Jetman is actually good. Kuuga is painfully boring and there's no redeeming qualities whatsoever.
>>
>>8793117
I disagree with that decision. "Kids are in every episode and are annoying" is the most important negative about ZyuRanger. It's the number one complaint you get about the series.

If you have to remove something, remove the "Blue and Yellow have little personality" comment. It's debatable anyway.
>>
>>8793276

I edited it so the thing about the kids will show on the image. I direct you to here: >>8793171
>>
>>8793276
The kids weren't even that bad, wtf.
>>
>>8793310
I don't get it either, but it is still the #1 complaint about the series.
>>
>>8793214
Kuuga was awesome for me, it's real slow, and the enemies aren't really interesting, but I still loved it. I just picked it out randomly as my second Rider series, but I can see how it would suck if I had read all the hype on /m/ first.
>>
Do Dekaranger and Gekiranger have decent subs, or am I stuck with TVN?

I know Overtime released 3 episodes of Deka at the start of January, but I have a feeling it'll take forever like Timeranger.
>>
>>8793421
I think they'll release Deka in 10 episode batches if that works internally (they said something like that in their blog), and for geki you have HS subs, which are somewhat bad, but they're releasing v2 of those so you should wait and see.

Also, be patient and wait for the new Deka subs, TVN's subs of it are guess subs.
>>
>>8793319
Probably becuase that was the most common complaint about it based on old internet reviews and people who claimed to have watched it raw long before it got subbed. Parrots gonna parrot.
>>
>>8793421

There are a set of really bad scrubs for Gekiranger from H-S/Gekiknight. They're presently working on redoing them. Otherwise you're stuck with TV-N on that one. Though aside from the usual -tachis and what not, the TV-Nisms aren't so bad in Geki as they are in other series. It's tolerable.
>>
>>8790043
Same for Bioman and Flashman not being on the list.

Hell despite all of Ohranger's problems with production, I thought it was a genuinely good. Same with Kakuranger. I'm surprised Tsuruhime gets so much love here on /m/.
>>
>>8793185

If it's something we're seriously considering warning people about, you may want to add it to the Gobusters entry. Good god, Gobuster Lioh and Gobuster King.
>>
>>8793447
I'm currently at episode 4 of Kaku, and I'm loving this show, the fights are awesome and I like the concept of the mechs being the actual rangers themselves.

Also, am I the only one who gets MJ vibes from the ending theme?
>>
>>8793448

Really, any Gobuster mech that isn't Ace or Li-oh alone.
>>
Does anybody have any pluses and minuses for Liveman and Sun Vulcan? We just need those two filled in and then the thing is done.
>>
>>8793485
Live man has great villians.
>>
For Sun Vulcan... here are some I can think of. The show isn't really fresh in my mind though so don't take this as concrete, but it might kick off some discussion:

+Some fun power play among the villains
+Lots of crazy fun plots (like when the villains tried to give out computers that give you all the answers to make kids dumb).
+Good theme song
+Machiko Soga is in it

-Doesn't take full advantage of continuing Denziman's plot
-No women on the team- the one woman among the main good guys fights once and then has to be saved.

Any other ideas?
>>
>>8793506
Campiness and weird editing.
>>
>>8793506
- Waits until the last handful of episodes to introduce the last villain.
>>
>>8793558
oh, and

- 2/3rds of the team members have bland personalities.

Boom. Here it is.

I didn't include the theme because that doesn't really make or break the show. And even if the theme is good, after hearing it for a few episodes, you just start skipping over it anyways. And I didn't include Machiko Soga because nobody new will know who he is.

Don't feel too bad. If Magiranger looks cool to you, then that's all the reason you need to give it a look. If it helps put you at ease, I can't really say I've seen too many people giving Magiranger negative feedback. Sure it's not considered one of the top notch Sentais, but it's not a bad one either. I hope you enjoy it.

>Blue and Yellow have little character and personality

Personally, I thought Mei had less personality than either of them. But that's just me.:\

>>8793606
I can add two minuses
-Jet Icarus looks like crap
-Early monster designs looked REALLY stupid.

TBH, those are really my only complaints with the series. And I'm sure those complaints can apply to a large chunk of the series that came out before the 90s.
>>
>>8793663
Those things about Jetman are just your own opinions. We should at least try to keep the negatives to being actual negative- y'know what? Fuck it, you guys can't agree on anything anyways.
>>
>>8793671
I suppose you're right. I'm just a bit miffed at how lousy and cheap the Jet Icarus looks, given how much I love love loooove the series and given how the Jet Garuda and Tetra Boy don't look anywhere near as cheap.
>>
>>8793663
RedHawk and Blackcondor being the main focus is a minus not a plus.
>>
>>8793693

Every mech before Daizyujin looked looked lousy or cheap. It's not just you.
>>
>>8793712
I was really surprised at the difference in quality between Jet Icarus and the vastly superior DaiZyuJin, given that the two were only a year apart. Oh well, at least the mech fights in Jetman were still great imo.

I loved Gai

>>8793986

>hates Gai

Do you even Sentai?
>>
>>8794050
I don't like spastic characters. We already had the bird. We didn't need Gai. Gokai Silver is cool looking but Gai is garbage. Literally my least favorite Sentai member and I've seen every show that is fully subbed.

>>8793995
Great villians
Great special effects for 1988
They fight a Dinosaur in Episode 7
One of the strong Sentai stories

>>8794062
>I don't like spastic characters.

Yeah, I'd say that's a legit reason to not like Gai. That said, I found him to be rather hilarious and lots of fun.

Ladies and gentlemen, here it is. Everything is finally filled out.

Let me know of any spelling corrections, or if there's anything REALLY off-base in the notes.
>>
>>8794123
Two characters stealing the show is a minus.

Dairanger's suits are really, REALLY subjective.
>>
>>8794123

Sorry to do this, but atleast one negative for Jetman is that the love triangle may put people off for the first few episodes.
>>
>>8794123
It really should be mentioned as a plus for Liveman is that the main character's friends are villians. That shit was awesome.
>>
>>8794129
No let them leave it as a plus. I like when we have Jetman discussions and people bitch about it. Let the cycle of disappointment continue.
>>
>>8794123
Jetman needs flaws
Umeko being attractive shouldn't be a plus

In fact, don't do a plus and minus list. They normally turn out shit like this one because they are biased. Just list the premise of the show.
>>
>>8794123
Editing in Sun Vulcan takes awhile to get used to, anyone saying otherwise is insane.
>>8794142
But it actually is a minus. At the very least relationship shenanigans should be a minus.
>>
>>8794147
I know it's a minus. It's hilarious that this guy would put it as a plus. So let him keep it as a plus so that people can continue to get annoyed when they watch the show and see just how much it's the red and black show with a cameos from blue, yellow, and eventually white.

I still can't believe he didn't put the camp minus in there. That's a pretty big minus for many, and it is commonly brought up along with your editing issue.

>>8794165
"Irritating children in every episode" is just slightly skewed, you know? I'd put something like "Large focus on child actors" instead.
>>
>>8794147
I personally enjoyed the love triangle thing. And I generally don't even like love triangles. Maybe it's just me, though.
>>
>>8794166
It has no subs, so most people haven't watched it.
>>
>>8794163
Camp can be a minus or a plus for many. Like how Comedy Sentai is a plus and minus for Go-Onger in this one >>8791962
>>
>>8794190
Is there a way to put some sort of YMMV thing for some of these points?
>>
>>8794163
Because he is making the flaws and pluses for himself and not /m/ or potential watchers. Gai in Gokaiger is a polarizing character that is either liked or hated. Very little middle ground. He should have listed Luka as a plus since she is pretty universally liked but by the same token no character development should have been a flaw for the show.
>>
>>8794194
Yeah that was my problem with it.

Like the editing in Sun Vulcan isn't really something you can argue against as being good and anyone who has a problem with it is wrong no matter what. The robots in Boukenger looking bad is just an opinion. I couldn't think of anything bad about Boukenger besides the Mecha even though I think the battleship one is badass oops
>>
>>8794200

OP here.

Dude, these are ALL comments from the community here. I'm not pulling these out of my ass, I'm taking these all from all of YOUR guys suggestions. I haven't seen half the series on here, so I'm really relying on you guys to provide commentary here.
>>
>>8794227
If you haven't seen the shows you shouldn't be doing this because you aren't a good judge for the content or the opinions. You don't even know what people are talking about half the time.
Get Gai off of the Gokaiger pluses. He isn't a universally liked character. Luka is the most liked and she shouldn't be listed either.

Get that Dekapink comment off. You can make a comment like that for nearly any sentai when it comes to a girl. Kotoha, Urara, Saki and Natsuki are adorable too. Jasmine, Sakura, Moune and Miu are hot. Should those be listed as positives for their series?
>>
>>8794227
Remove all pluses and minuses. Instead right brief little descriptions of the show's premise.

This really isn't that hard.
>>
>>8794179

I thought it felt too forced. Came right the fuck outta nowhere, imo. We've barely gotten to know the characters, now all of the sudden Gai would give anything to be with Waifu Swan. They should've saved it for later on in the series.
>>
>>8794256
>If you haven't seen the shows you shouldn't be doing this because you aren't a good judge for the content or the opinions. You don't even know what people are talking about half the time.
I dunno man.
This guy >>8791962 only did the shows he's seen and we all know what happened with this list...
>>
The positives and flaws should be equal. Maybe 3 and 3, Example

Gokaiger
+Celebration of Sentai that brings in many guests characters
+Every single Sentai suit is used at least once
+Follows up on nearly every series and gives them closure or expands on their story
-Very underdeveloped cast
-Tribute episodes are usually poorly done. Often they only mention the character that appears in the episode while not acknowledging the other members.
-Nearly every villain is terrible and they don't live up to the hype. For a universal threat they were complete jokes.
>>
>>8794270
Also the ending could be a plus or a minus. Like the whole getting stabbed thing.

I liked it when I watched it, but then /m/ pointed out that, shouldn't his super powers have stopped the blade? Like, it's wasn't JUST the suit that made him a little invaluable? And then someone pointed out that whole thing was actually a homage to some really popular ending to a Japanese TV show and wasn't actually original at all and it kinda killed a lot of the magic for me.
>>
>>8794265
This is the best option
>>
>>8794283
>Nearly every villain is terrible and they don't live up to the hype. For a universal threat they were complete jokes.
I don't agree with the thing about cast, since they're stand out episodes with origin explanations were pretty concrete if you ask me. And the tribute episodes were better for just acknowledging the actors that wanting to show up instead of referring to people that weren't there.

BUT THE VILLAINS WERE SHIT. 100% agreed.
>>
>>8794256

So I have to watch every show to even do this list?

Yeah, I'll get right on that, you fucking autist.

>>8794283

That was the original plan, but... I can only do much with what people give me.
>>
>>8794287
>>8794265
Nah. This seems like just a way to segue into "Who even needs a list just tell them to go to wiki then".
>>
>>8794302
One flaw is actually enough unless you think another is worth mentioning.

We're not actually trying to convince people to NOT watch Sentai after all.
>>
>>8794302
Considering you are posting things that are seen as flaws as positive, yes. You need to watch the shows.
>>
>>8794270

>Waifu Swan

I chuckled.
>>
>>8794265

Just having descriptions doesn't work.

1) There are websites out there that already do that, hence why I like to the wiki on the image.

2) Descriptions don't give enough detail into the acting, the action that goes on, or some of the smaller premises. For example, I thought Go-Onger was going to be awesome. Traveling through different worlds, using sentient race cars? That's sounds so retarded, it's gonna be awesome! And then I watched it, and it was just plain retarded.

Again, this was my own personal experience. I know that many people enjoy Go-Onger, but the description didn't just live up to expectations. And this is actually the reason why I started this project in the first place, to give people a better idea of what to watch.

No, it's a way to avoid endless:

Anon1: I think [Sentai Name]'s best part is X.
Anon2: What? X is a minus! It's so bad, Y is a plus.
Anon1: No Y is a minus, X is a plus.
Anon2: No you.
Anon1: No you.

Into infinity.

You just need to list the 10 that were voted to be people's favorites, give brief descriptions of the premise of the show and people decide from there. It really is that simple.
>>
>>8794341
Well then I hope you enjoy threads being derailed into pointless bickering of who's opinion is better every time you post this chart. Because that's exactly what is going to happen.
>>
>>8794341
>premise sounds retarded
>it must be awesome!

You're a retard. Most people are smarter than that.
>>
>>8794341
But Go-Onger wasn't about traveling through different worlds and was never described as such. That is your fault.
>>
>>8794349

You mean like this thread did when you came in and started shoving your opinion on the matter in everyone's face?
>>
>>8794342

I just find it interesting that all this bull-shit started after the last notes were added. Nobody had anything bad to say before until the project was near completion. Stunning.

Also, that shit is gonna happen no matter WHAT kind of things we do for this project. And it's gonna happen no matter WHO is in charge of the process. People who want to bitch are gonna bitch, and that doesn't help out the community at all.

Again, guys, these are suggestions and opinions, and if a majority of people agree on these suggestions and opinions, they're going on the list.
>>
>>8794349
It's kinda weird that that other Sentai list just fought over whoever was gonna be in the top three.
And fursuits.
>>
>>8794361
You can't have a thread on /m/ without shitposting anymore. Get over it.
>>
>>8794371
It's gonna end up like that Rider list.

People will complain while it's being made, but if it gets posted long enough people will ignore it and just accept it as fact.

Not talking about the one with WHAT NOT TO WATCH but the fixed version of it that just lists where to download it.
>>
>>8794371
The problem is that you can't even tell if the majority of people agree with your chart or not because this is an anonymous message board. You don't even know how many people you are arguing with right now.
>>
>>8794377

Then those people are retarded. It's stated right up there below the title to watch whatever you think looks cool.
>>
>>8794381

There are at least five different people posting in this thread right now.
>>
>>8794381

Well, that's the breaks. I worked with what I had, and that's what's on the list.

And by the way, the format of the list is not up for discussion. You can discuss the CONTENT of the list, such as the pluses and minuses. But saying "fuck all that, just wipe everything out and put up the series summaries" just isn't going to happen.
>>
>>8794399
Then why aren't you going with the suggestions being made?
>>
>>8794404

The ONLY legitimate suggestion that I've seen since posting the last update to the list was the one about Go-Kaiger, and that was put into dispute. So, I'm just kinda waiting it out now. I'm actually surprised at all the bickering, since the voting thread went pretty well (except for maybe 10-15 posts). But, again... my naiveté is my downfall.
>>
>>8794419

...I can't believe you're still taking this incredibly seriously. I added a couple character jokes on the chart already, so that DekaPink comment isn't out of place. And the entire list (save for DekaRanger, that was my contribution) has been contributed by people who have watched the shows.

And just because the two most autistic people in the thread TOLD me to take off the DekaPink comment doesn't mean I'm going to take it off... and I can't believe, with all the other shit on this list, I'm actually arguing THAT one point.

It's a joke. It's in there. Deal with it.

I'm pretty sure we already have joke and troll recommendation charts. We don't need another.

People have complained about the Gai "joke" too. You are just ignoring them because you think you are a funny. In fact, you are the same person that made the last chart so why is anyone arguing with you?
>>
>>8794538

How much butthurt do you have about these jokes? Damn, son. I actually just took the Gai joke off the pluses and minuses to make room for stuff related to the actual plot, so cool your jets.

And that's another thing. I'm trying to fill space here. So if your'e just gonna subtract and not add anything, shut the fuck up. If you think something else is worth adding to the DekaRanger spot, then say it. If not... read my last sentence.

Why are you taking comments from a chart that was universally hated for a multitude of reasons?

Lucky for us, Megaforce gets the best of both series.

(NOTE: I use the term "lucky" incredibly loosely in this sense.)
>>
>>8794748
I dropped Dekaranger due to a mix of it feeling too childish and the fursuit use. Not sure if that's worth listing in any form, not sure if anyone else has had that problem or if I'm the oddball, but Deka seems to be awfully light on the negatives - it's the only sentai series I've dropped because I wasn't liking it.

Geki could probably do with it's villains mentioning though, they were arguably more fleshed out and had more development than the team themselves.
>>
>>8794748
What was wrong with Zyu's Dan and Boi? Them having "no personality" seems harsh at best, complete BS at worst. They've got about as much personality as many other sentai team members and easily as much as Mei. Are they as focused on as Geki and Burai? Obviously not, but I really don't feel either of their personalities (or alleged lack of) detracted from the series, hell - Dan had plenty of personality as the younger, impulsive member of the team.

I really aren't convinced that deserves to be on there.
>>
>>8794688
Ehhhhhh, I wouldn't call them SHIT persay. I personally liked Warz Gil, Barizog, and especially Basco. Damaras and Insarm were okay, and Ackdos was pretty meeeh since he didn't show up until, like, near the end. Still, of the series that I've seen so far (not many, admittedly), the main Zangyack are probably my least favorite. The mooks were fucking awesome, though.
>>
>>8794923
I'm beginning to wonder if I'm the only one who thinks Mei had very, very little personality. o.o

>o.o
Just get out.
>>
>>8794926
Basco felt like someone they brought in just because of how shit the original villains were.

Rivals for Red is a tradition though.
>>
>>8794926
Insarm didn't do shit all show. She had a forced plot in the episode she died in. That was it for her. She was terrible. What made it even worse was that Metal Alice was in the series before her and she was pretty good.

Walz Gil was bad too. He was a loud weak leader who went out like a bitch. He had a planet destroying robot but didn't even take out one city. His death was so garbage that I honestly had no idea he was dead and expected him to come back for a very long time. But he never did. He was dead. I didn't believe it. That was the most pathetic death in Sentai.

Gavan crossover completely derails the series for two episodes
Initial defeat of Messiah comes out of nowhere and feels rushed, but that's a massive spoiler so I would put it as "First entry into hyperspace and its consequences comes out of almost nowhere and feels rushed."

Also, calling Enter "competent" seems like an understatement. How many villains in these type of shows actually attempt to adapt their plans in the face of adversity?

a) Actually being true
c) Actually being a legitimate detraction from the series?

>>8795475

Multiple people have called attention to it. It's out of my hands, bro. And remember: they're NUMBER SIX on a top ten list of the best Super Sentai list. Plus, they have Power Rangers roots going for them. It's gonna be okay.
>>
>>8795480
>And remember: they're NUMBER SIX on a top ten list of the best Super Sentai list.

Pretty much. Think of it like this: If the bad outweighed the good that much, then it probably wouldn't be on the list.
>>
>>8795480
Eh, I just don't understand how people think that's a thing.

Boi is a bit bland on personality, but has his ninja stuff going for him.

Dan has more personality than Boi and Mei put together, arguably more than Goushi (as much as I love him), right off the bat he's established as the younger member of the team that's a bit immature and sometimes fucks up, but tried to fix it.

It's not a "problem" exclusive to Zyu, plenty of sentai series have far less developed characters than those, and it's never really a detraction from the enjoyment of the series.

I'm not really worried that it's going to spoil the chart or anything - Zyu has heaps going for it, but it just strikes me as a completely out of the blue criticism with little to no grounding in reality.

A Jetman flaw is that Red and Black overshadow the rest. White is just written as a prize while Blue and Yellow barely get focus. The ending doesn't make sense either.

Liveman was the last of the series notes that needed completion, and we needed SOMETHING bad to stick in there. And somebody came up with that little nugget.

>>8795548

Yeah, we also couldn't find anything bad to put in there. Seriously, if anybody has anything better to add to this, feel free.

If there's one more bad thing about Liveman is that the show's pace went down after Episode 30 which obviously will pick up later on
