YMMV / Battle Fever J

• Americans Hate Tingle: The series is one of the least popular Sentai series in the Western fanbase outside of Hawaii, primarily due to the ugly suits, outdated special effects and blatant favoritism towards Battle Japan.
• Awesome Music:
  • The opening theme is incredibly catchy with its disco styled intro while namedropping the rangers in a fun manner.
  • The ending theme sounds like an epic ballad about the rangers finishing their journey with the guitar rocking out along with it.
• Germans Love David Hasselhoff: In Japan, Maria was a Replacement Scrappy for Diane Martin. But in the west, due to Diane spending most of her time Out of Focus after the first few episodes, not many people complained when Maria ended up replacing her. It helps that Maria had more focus episodes dedicated to herself and spent more time with the team on missions.
• Hilarious in Hindsight: Battle France has a Spanish dance because French music was deemed "not suitable for battle". France Five and its accordion-playing Blue Ranger would like a word with you.
• I Am Not Shazam: Despite the later Kousoku Sentai Turboranger retrospective introducing them as such, and the anniversary series Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger referring to them by that name on several occasions, the team is never actually referred to as "Battle Fever J" on the show. The team's name in the show is Battle Fever-tai ("Team Battle Fever"), not "Battle Fever J".
• Nightmare Fuel: In the first episode, General Kurama's Expospeak about Egos is accompanied by stock footage of war and chaos, which seems fairly tame... until the last shot, which shows dozens of corpses scattered across the ground after the Jonestown massacre.
• They Wasted a Perfectly Good Character: Despite being the Big Bad and having an aura of mystery surrounding him, we never learn who or what Satan Egos is and what his true motives are.
• Unintentional Uncanny Valley: The main team suits are considered by fans to be the creepiest of all the main team suits due to their helmets having two eyed visors as well as noses, giving them this creepy, mask-like appearance. The biggest offender is Miss America's helmet, with the aforementioned elements combined with the wig, making it the most unnerving.
