Agreed... this year is one helluva year. I'm just sorry we'll soon no longer have Keitai Sousakan 7.
Diend Decade
Deliquent Duo
For me, it is mainly decade and KRDK that brought me back. As for Shinkenger, it is still a bit undecided or haven't been enough events to captivate me for it. It is more than RPM for me, that I would spend such time.

2008 was a meh year for me. It gave us Kiva, which, despite its megaton of flaws, I actually really enjoyed, especially towards the second half, I just hated wasting nearly the entire first half on...well, nothing really, it seemed like nothing happened and the show bored the heck out of me until the Checkmate Four. Go-Onger was...well, I don't want to get into a Go-Onger bash fest, but I really enjoyed the first 14 or so episodes of Go-Onger, so it's the biggest disappointment in tokusatsu that I've seen in a long time.
Rescue Force was a fun show, but I had trouble sticking to it, I could let episodes stack up and feel no real impulse to watch them, though I loved it once I watched them, actually getting them playing was the hard part. Then there's Keitai Sousakan 7 which, aside from a random spell when I really stopped watching everything, I've loved, though it's not without its flaws, a lot of the episodes felt incredibly random, there just for the sake of adding to the episode count.
Annnnd finally Ultra Galaxy NEO, which has definitely been my favorite 2008 tokusatsu. It's short, sweet, filled with monster action, and did something to improve upon the first series by given the story more substance. I only hope we get a third series eventually (hopefully a full length one), because this has the potential to be an epic show given the right amount of time, NEO certainly made its mark on me.
Tokusatsu for 2009 is looking good, I'm loving Decade more than I've loved any series in ages, though I've got my reservations about the first Blade world episode and the way Tsukasa acts...I'll just chock that up to Shouji Younemura writing those episodes. Shinkenger is pretty good as well, definitely seems different compared to recent series, it's nothing too great yet, but I've got infinite hope.
Annnnd I'll keep hoping Rescue Fire turns out to be a good show as well.

I'm loving the hell outta KRDK right now, and I'll probably start watching RPM during the summer, since I hardly have any free time while school's in session. I just caught up on Shinkenger, and I'm really digging it. The music's awesome, the mech design's amazing, and the characters are actually pretty cool. I'll attempt to start watching Decade this weekend, if I'm not too busy.

The kaijuu genre just may be seeing a new boom, and this time, on the small screen! It's just as I had been saying for years, TV, right now, is a better medium for giant monsters than on the big screen (usually with mediocre box office results in recent years). Right now, we have Ultra Galaxy: Giant Monster Battle, which just finished, and also recently, we have the kaijuu eiga spoof series, Gehara! I'll bet we might see more TV monsters in the foreseeable future!

It's Judgement Time!
Oh no, they're on Blade now? They better not mess with my Tachibana-kun. Garren was the perfect Rider. They dont need to be fuckin-em-up!
Bad Wolf
Skreeong!
Mothra wasn't so bad, she's the only monster who was able to pull away from the Godzilla series after being incorporated into it.
All Hail Mosura!!!! Queen of The Monsters.
