I can only say 1 really, as I've not sat there and watched any others... Gokaiger is my favourite, I really, super enjoyed it o.o

Definitely Dairanger for me as well. Great characters, great mech and just an all around great time.

My favorite is a tie between Timeranger and Go-Busters
My least favorite would have to be Goseiger. Seriously, I nearly fell asleep once watching that one.

Ya I also like Gokaiger but that's a given considering its near-universal praise.

Best
Kyoryuger is the only toku show I've seen that managed to recreate that sense of being a kid and being so excited that I can't even keep still in my chair. It's a total "heart overruling head" choice but I love it beyond all reason.

Being more levelheaded, IMO Megaranger is really close to being the perfect Sentai. There's a plot point in the last three episodes that I really dislike, which sucks because I find how a show ends really colours my lasting memory of it. But everything up to that point is brilliance.

Akibaranger is two seasons of sillyness and joy. Literally my only problem with it is that I seem to have deleted my copy of the OverTime episode notes explaining all the references, and can I heck find them anywhere online now.

Worst
The first one that comes to mind is Ninninger. That is just a cluster of errors that made the whole thing a drag to watch. Miscast actors, bad writing, weapons and mecha that don't seem to have anything to do with the ninja theme, etc. Unless you are a completionist I'd advise you to skip it.

I never really got into Bioman. Yes, there's something morbidly interesting about them spending an entire episode beating the yellow ranger to death because the actress was fired and they were clearly really p***ed off with her. It does have a plot arc at the very end just to try and leave on a high. But there's much better entries from that era.

Sun Vulcan might be a victim of it's own success. It's big gimmick is that it was the first Sentai to have a combining robot. But that's been a part of the franchise's formula ever since, so nowadays it just seems like the most by-the-numbers series. To give it credit, the female characters are all really charismatic and more interesting than the guys. But this is early 80s Sentai, so the spotlight is firmly on those boring dudes.

Favourites are Shinkenger and Kyuranger (and LuPatranger gets an honourable mention as it's not very far in yet)

I don't really have one I disliked much as I've not seen many yet. I'm pretty new to the whole thing tbh

Oh wow, yes kamsamnida, that's exactly what I meant. How on Earth did you find that? I can't find them on OT or via search engine (even pastebin's own search) or anywhere...
