I'm going to be honest (as usual) but this is has become my least favourite Super Sentai, so for me it ranks as: 1. Gokaiger 2. Akibaranger (it's an Unofficial one I know but still!) 3. Go-Busters 4. Goseiger 5. Shinkeger I understand I've only seen a few, yes, but onto my review: Story: The concept of 'Samurai' is a good one and very Japanese and quite an educational and fun way of learning some thing's about samurais. I found it very boring and I couldn't find any real plot until episode 42 when BOMB the last 8 episodes are just plot, twist, plot, excitement, twist, all hell breaks loose. I was hooked the last 8 episodes but the rest of the series? I watched while doing work or reading a book, that's how much it didn't interest me. I did however like the running unlined plot of Juzo and ShinkenRed fighting at each other. I normally cry at the end of Sentai's and Kamen Rider's but I only got teary eyed here because of how unattached I was to this series. Acting: It's Sentai so it's either over the top or doesn't show their full potential. Not showing their full potential is definitely what happened to Aiba Hiroki and Matsuzaka Tori. I love them as actors and yet were so mediocre here because of the genre and the type of show it is. Characters: I loved ShinkenRed, Gold, Kusakabe, Juzo and those little yellow fluff balls that are always with Dayuu >< Everyone else... sometimes liked, other times I just wish they were dead. Music: Loved the song Dayuu played and the opening theme was rather catchy, haven't listened to the ending theme enough to have a say on it. Overall: Bland until the last 8episodes then it's really good, but shame it took so long for me to get hooked.
