Why I don't like Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger / Sentai Anymore

Just going to point out the obvious here but these series weren't meant for people like us. These tv shows are meant for Japanese children. So you find it boring, or you still prefer showa over heisei.... as long as Japanese children keep watching them and continue buying the toys, Toei or Tsubaraya could care less of what we think.

It seems Tsuburaya cares more than Toei does about its older fanbase, given how much care the Ultra franchise has been given. A lot of times now it feels like Toei just slaps on the name "Sentai" and "Rider" on their product without any further thought.

If I got to meet Black Condor, BoukenRed, AbareKiller, Red Racer... I would scream and act like a 5 yr old girl at ( insert little girl markout moment here).

The trouble is that there are those who don't want to be reminded of how they would act if their fanboy/fangirl dreams did come true.

Not every fan acts or would act like that.
 
Not liking a character like Gai (or Genta or anyone from Go-Onger) doesn't mean someone loves grimdark death and violence, it just means they probably found the character(s) annoying and the humor wasn't to their liking. A bad actor can really bog down what would be an otherwise decent character.

Are you saying the actors of Genta and Gai are bad? If so, I wouldn't agree with you
 
It's mostly what Kamen Rider does as well, except they tend to have one monster over a two-week arc

that may be true but at least there's a concrete story. i still don't see a story in gokaiger unless you count the pirates trying to find the ultimate power, the main story of the show. hell, the zangyack are just plain pathetic

I can understand that. But as someone pointed out above (Kamen Rider Biblio?) if you just dislike the "monster of the week" format in general, there's not really much toku left over for you to watch
 
The costs of retail DVD come from the Japanese media industry supporting their huge rental market. Don't live in Japan? Too damn bad.

Sucks, I know, but it's not only Super Sentai problem.
