I finished my first Sentai show (BoonBoomger) and god it was good, a post about my thoughts of the show and what I liked and didn't like about it

I finished BoonBoomger btw (I can't remember if I said this or not)

I really liked this show and honestly from action, characters, arcs and how wacky it got but also how extremely serious it headed towards the end

***Things I really enjoyed***

- Taiya's and BoonBoom's friendship

I don't have much to say about this, it's just a really nice friendship ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

- The inclusion of Byun and Sakito

Really fun characters I enjoyed every time they were on the team

- Everything about Decotrade, Itasha and Yarucar's characters

These characters are basically Team Rocket and I love them, they imo were always a highlight of the ep and always had me smiling whenever they showed up

- I liked that Pink wasn't just "I'm the girl"

Always enjoy whenever a female character is actually a character and not just "and I'm the girl of the group"

- Max Rex's arc

Mad Rex imo is THE best villain (besides the Team Rocket guys), his unexpected arc and character we saw was really good

- Waruido Spindo

This villain absolutely FUCKS!! Everything about him just oozes aura like no other villain in the show, and he's just a very chaotic villain for the Rangers to actually fight and I love it (and weirdly enough he's modeled after Michael Jackson lol)

- Final Arc

This show switches up and gets SO SERIOUS extremely fast during the last like 8 eps or something, it's actually great

- Crossovers

Most of the crossovers felt like they fit the tone and never felt like they were just there to have a crossover, and I enjoyed seeing the crossover power ups used outside of the crossover (even if it wasn't used much)

- The op and ed

Idk I just really liked them, especially the op and they always had me bobbing my head with them or trying to sing lol

***Things I wished they would have gotten more into***

- Pinks character

They kinda set her up as this character who would make her own destiny and someone who doesn't want to do what others tell her to, and we did get like two other eps playing off of what they set up in ep1 but by the end of the series it felt like she barely had any real character development in this almost 50 ep show

- Big Bang Grand Prix

The BBGP is this HUGE thing that is mentioned throughout the show with multiple characters that revolve around this thing, but we never see it besides in flash back very briefly or in the last ep right before the Rangers race in it, which sucks I wanted to see it actually be a thing we witness with our heros

- Shirabe Saibu character

Her character is EXTREMELY lacking I feel, they could have done more with her and as is RN I liked her but never really felt like her did anything besides introduce the ISA (I was really hoping she would have joined the Rangers to be the second female Ranger but NOPE

- The Final Crossover in the show

This crossover felt like it was just there to be there, like the Ranger who crosses over straight up just shows up, fights a little to aura farm then leaves lol, it was the most "wtf is happening" I've felt ESPECIALLY since this ep had a HUGE story beat and the crossover distracts from that

***Anyways***

I really liked this show, I was always entertained in it and nothing ever really felt boring or unnecessary which is great, I really wish I would have gotten into the IP sooner before it's long hiatus but me not liking Power Rangers growing up kinda prevented me from liking Sentai even tho I liked the idea of what Power Rangers and Super Sentai was doing. As my first Sentai show I gotta say this has been a 10/10

I'm watching BoonBoomger (my first Sentai show) and OMG IS THAT A SHIN ZETTON REF!!

It even makes sounds like Zetton, I was NOT expecting a Shin Ultraman ref in here

If there was an in universe Kaiju documentary, what Kaiju would you like to see??

If there was a in universe Kaiju documentary to explore that these big creatures aren't just mindless city attacking monsters, what Kaiju would you like to be in it??

You could pick 1 or a few Kaiju, or go out and tell us a general theme of what the documentary would be able. I'm pretty interested in what y'all pick

Also, it doesn't necessarily have to be Kaiju from the Ultraman universes, any Kaiju universe/ IP would be allowed ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

The clip was something like a giant monster attacking a building and a Ranger jumped off the half destroyed building while shooting at the monster, I *think* the short or reel I saw of it had some sort of caption like "why was this cut from Power Rangers" or something like that, idk if that helps or not but I thought I'd include it in case it does.

I know absolutely nothing about Sentai other than a few eps of Ohsama Sentai King-Ohger, and Sentai's action footage was spliced and used when making Power Rangers (I didn't like Power Rangers growing up), so I'd help me out if someone might know what clip I saw or what show may of had a similar scene to it ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Also I marked the post as a spoiler bc I think I read a comment saying how it was the finale of the show, or at least some big event in the show
