Yeah, I meant to say most PR fans.
And yes, looking back at those arguments makes me glad I was never aware of the online fandom at the time.

I myself recently finished Hurricanger and I thought it was pretty dang good; one thing I definitely liked about it was how the core three hurricanegers had really good chemistry as a team which is important in a sentai and yet doesn't always come together. Also, Kouta is a physical therapist, which sets him apart from everyone else in the whole franchise. I like that.

I think Hurricaneger is a decent series. But it misses from being great due to certain issues. 
For me, it's like the Shinkenger of the early 2000s.
I think Hurricaneger had some neat ideas going on, and it's plots were fun, even if they were rather unimaginative. I blame this on the writer, Jun'ichi Miyashita. I think the occasional writer, Jun Maekawa did much better.
While Hurri is a decent series for me, I think what hurts it most for me are the characters. While some of the plots are neat, the characters themselves are rather unmemorable imo. And frankly, I don't find the acting to be all that great either. Though I do think Shun Shioya (Red) and Nao Nagasawa (Blue) did fantastic in Gokaiger. Unfortunately, I found their performances in Hurri to be a little underwhelming. And people accuse Geki of having bad characters. :redface2:
While the Gouraijers and Shurikenger had some fun plots going on for them, I didn't find them very fun as characters as they were. Well, Shurikenger was fun, but he takes a sudden darker change in the last 10 eps which I found kinda annoying. Gozen was kickass at least.
I really liked Oboro. I wish she got to do more.
The Jakanja were mostly wasted potential imo. Tau Zanto was boring and he got written off rather anti-climactically. Furabijo was okay, I really liked her ep with Nanami as it brought more depth into her character. Alas, she gets underused. Chuuzubo was forgettable imo. Manmaruba I did like at the start, until he got resurrected like three times, which is so not cool at all. :redface2: I really liked Wendinu. Sadly, she's also underused. I loved her in the ep where she grows giant. :laugh: Sargain was kinda cool. But he didn't do much, sadly. I think Satorakura was the best villain in the show. Sandaru was okay, but he appeared way too late, so whatever. :redface2: Oh, and the villain designs were bleh.
The mechas were okay. I liked the Karakuri Balls. But the fights and combination sequences were a little dragged out and unimaginative.
As is common knowledge with Hurricaneger's production, it was technically supposed to be a Liveman meets Kakuranger. The mix is interesting, but unfortunately, it doesn't handle it's elements as well as the two shows before it.
Overall, Hurri is a fun watch, but nothing really groundbreaking in the Sentai franchise. IMO, Gao before it and Aba after it were much more impressive Sentai seasons.

Why do some of you insist on calling it HurriCANger? I mean I know it's nitpicking, but they are not the HurriCANgers

Is it officially HurriCANEGER anyway? I mean I always thought HurriCANGER was meant to be some sort of play on words with Ranger.

Yes it is. It is HurriCane and Ranger. Hurricaneger.

Well I'm just asking, any merchandise with the word? I mean don't they ususally have English words with the merchandise or something?
Or maybe I'm thinking of something else?

All right there we go.
You know I could've sworn people were saying Hurricanger years ago and I myself didn't even find out about the Hurricaneger spelling until like a few months ago. What's with that?
