Weird but fine

As the headline says, this show is weird but fine.

First there is a good story in here but its let down by poor execution and ideas that seem incomplete.

The Team
Taro is a jerk, I get that his thing is finding his emotions but there's no real progress on it till the last episode and he really doesnt even need a team since he solves everything on his own.
Saruhara has to be one of, if not the most boring sentai hero ever, he doesn't do anything, he's not interesting and no one explains how he affords anything since he hates money.
Haruka carries this show, she's easily the best charcter out of the Donbrothers, her manga slump story arc is actually interesting and has plot relevance.
Tsubasa is the second most interesting character with his fugitive plot being tied into the Juto and their eventual resolution although it takes far far too long for him to join the team properly, Unfortunatelt because of his CGI nature when transformed his focus episodes in the first 30 odd episodes are really boring (Episodes 17 and 28 are examples)
Kijino, wow do I hate this guy, I don't think I've ever hated a sentai hero as much as I do this one, he's obsessive over one woman and constantly refers to her as an object, refuses to accept really when it slaps him in the face, turns into a monster several times and we're suppsoed to feel sorry for him and to make it worse he actually gets the happy ending that he does not deserve.
Jiro is just here because every sentai show needs a 6th hero, his split personality was interesting to start but it quickly gets old and his relevance diminishes greatly after his debut arc, they tried doing something interesting in the last several episodes but the twist felt out of place

Sonoi, he's much more interesting than Tarou, actually has a developed arc over the course of the seasona nd his rivalry with Taro was good too.
Sononi, her quest to find out about love was interesting and her scenes with Tsubasa are great, I'm glad she kind of got her happy ending.
Sonoza, the third of the Noto trio, he's just kind of there, helps Haruka out with her manga occasionally.

The Villains
what villains lol
The show throws 5 bad guys at you in the last 6 episodes but they have no development, pretty much come out of nowhere except for one of them making a previous appearance earlier in the series and are just there to give the heroes someone to fight at the end, they're not even that impressive or provide a memorable final battle

The juto was where the real interest was for villains but they just kind of peter out as the show has no idea what it wants to do with them, they have no real heirarchy and like i said above, Taro just shows up and solves everything because he said so.

Murasame is the most interesting villain in the whole show and by far the most threatening and fun to watch, episode 40 where he hunts down Tsubasa and Sononi is excellent but that's pretty much it, he shows up pretty early in the series too then gets sealed away for a bit before coming back then the show just forgets about him till the last episode where he joins the heroes because the writers need him involved in the final battle too.

Their was so much to explore and develop and the show just never does it.

as for the action, its your typical tokusatsu full of great fights and awesome stunts but they heavy use of CGI during the mecha is such a let down and Pink and Black being fully CGI during battles too made their usage extremely limited.

so yeah a fun but weird series, I doubt I'll ever watch the entire thing again but episode 40 is definitely one of the best sentai episodes made.
