Goranger to Dynaman: Which is Best?

Forever Knight

Eye See You
Time to start figuring out which Sentai Series to start watching.

My choices are:

Goranger
JAKQ
Battle Fever J
Denjiman
Sun Vulcan
Goggle V
Dynaman

Which of these was the best?.

The style of Sentai I like is something like Change/Flash/Mask/Live/Jetman. So a serious storyline, good fight scenes, and lots of drama. I'm hearing that Goggle V has all of this and Dynaman is the worst of the group.

I would say Denjiman, but I haven't seen any of Dynaman or Goggle V and not much of the rest, so...
 
Your mileage may vary, it's hard to pin down some of those shows as being definitively "serious" or "not serious". Like Battle Fever seems pretty goofy, but then something comes along like

I like Denjiman and Sun Vulcan (mostly), but there's always something kinda neat in all of them. Goggle V is cool, but whoever said it was that much more dramatic than Dynaman must have been smoking something, cuz last time I checked, Dark Knight > the Computer kiddies any day. :laugh:

Quite the opposite, actually. Dynaman is thought of by many fans as having some of the best action sequences in any tokusatsu series. The story may be lacking in areas and the series starts off fairly comedic, but I found it to be a lot more enjoyable than Goggle V. You'll especially like the episodes with Dark Knight, the series' version of Bio Hunter Silver.

Goggle V's generally regarded as one of the weakest sentai shows. It did well at the time of its airing from what I know, but it didn't really catch on with regular fans. I don't think it's that bad, but it's certainly not near my favorites. But like Dynaman, Goggle V has the awesome Jun'ichi Haruta (Mad Garren), so either it's worth at least one viewing.

JAKQ's good for a darker fix, and I find Denjiman to be enjoyable (despite some of the worst villain designs this side of Goranger). You may like Sunvulcan, although I find it gets a bit campy in its second half trying to pay too much homage to Goranger. Goranger...save that one for last due to its length and age. While the last twenty or so episodes has some cool action (courtesy of the Japan Action Club and Junji Yamaoka), I'm not sure if you'd like that one so much. Goranger would be a pretty cool show if they had a better designer, because those villain designs just about ruin anything cool that the show does. I personally enjoyed Battle Fever J, but like Goranger, it's probably too dated (moreso than the others) for you to enjoy.

Then again, you seemed to surprisingly like Janperson, so...:shrug:
 
I've heard things about Dark Knight for awhile now so I think that has pushed me to check out Dynaman.

There is a good amount of info availible for the series @ TD and Wikipedia.

I've watched the Dynaman parody dub back in '99 and thought it was halarious. IN AND OUT OF LOVE :buttrock:
 
jakq apprently has a very dark story which ur normally into plus it also has use of drug use as well


also i think sun vulcan is a sequal to denjiman
