Least Favorite Toku Shows... And Why?

[Aoi Kurenai]

Probably Boukenger and Go-Onger. Boukenger because I didn't like the characters, heroes of villains. It had a decent premise, but I could never bring myself to care about anyone except for Eiji. Go-Onger was just . . . bad. And it's not even bad because I want everything in my superhero shows to be grimdark and filled with sex, it was just lame. The characters didn't appeal to me, I really didn't like the humor after the first 14 episodes or so, it just grew so stale. When I think of stand out tokusatsu shows with smart humor, I think Carranger, Sazer X, or Ryukendo, those shows integrated a lighthearted atmosphere into their core while still managing to have this sense of balance when the darker moments came about. And it sucks because I genuinely had a lot of fun with Go-Onger in those early episodes and then it progressively grew more boring by the episode. I was pretty much done with the series by the time the Wings were introduced.

Decade: It became really boring after the hesei riders worlds. I didn't like the characters and the lack of plot were others reasons.

 

[RangerFan52]

Goseiger, I've haven't seen one sentai in enitrety but after 15 episodes of Gosieger to look for useable footage, I found the rangers bland for Sentai.

 

[Tokuboy]

Kiva has problems. The 1986 arc alone is watchable; Wataru managed to annoy me a lot.

Decade had the issue of so many good yet conflicting ideas coming together, which resulted in a big clusterfuck.

Other than that I can't really pin down other least favorites... since I don't even bother watching the weaker ones.

 

[Galaxian]

Kamen Rider Blade - The story was all over the place, the pacing was a mess, and it contains both my least favorite character and ending in Tokusatsu all together.

 

[ParmesanBasil]

I really couldn't care one iota about any character in Dekaranger. They were just so boring. Dekamaster was by far the coolest, but he got relegated to background character real quick.

 

[Forever Knight]

Go-Onger -Idiot comedy fest. I felt like a 2 year old when watching it.

Hibiki -The 1st half was easily the most boring and stale storytelling I've ever watched. I don't care about was grade the kid got on his test.

 

[areaseven]

Chouseishin GranSazer - The first toku show to put me to sleep.

 

[Wraithstrike]

*puts up the shields*
KABUTO. A convoluted storyline, A prick of a hero, and pointless enemies. It was like watching fanfic.

All the Tomica series.

Go-onger. Seriously, screw that show. RPM did it better.

Ryuuki, it was below average the whole series...and then the ending was like a fucking kick in the nuts. Worst ending ever.
