Gekiranger is considered in the west as one of the Best end 2000s sentai, rivaled by Shinkenger (We'll get to that) and Dekaranger (also getting to that), but let's find out:
Main Characters:
The main Gekiranger are mostly lacking: It's not that much about them, since the story mostly focus on Rio evolving and getting stronger with each master, and how he is connected with Jan and Gou, and the rest have just some episodes for exposing their character, but not development (well, Retsu sort of does have, but not that much).
The masters were boring, but Miki was cool (and I just loved her Let's Get Dangerous moment)
Fight Scenes:
The fight scenes are okay, but the abuse of SFX is wasted whereas they could do more Wirefu and more actual martial arts, but I'll admit I love Bae doing his giant robots fight commentator while they just duke it out.
Designs:
The Gekirangers suit are cool, but the helmets are too much look-alike, and I admit Gou having a Gong changer makes no sense, but Rule Of Cool and stuff...
The Power-ups were lame, it was just a color swap, and it's disapointing because Dekaranger and Magiranger had some cool-looking power-ups.
The Robots look cool, but it's mostly me gushing about Gekitoujah, even if his finisher is kinda lame, and Sai Dai Oh is also nice, but nothing beats having a squad of Robots chargining at you.
Overall Plot:
While I was dissapointed that the characters were just there except the main characters, I admit I like this sentai because it's a rare exemple of a sentai avancing with each episode (even though it only applies to Rio, and they forget their Aesop, save for the major events), and I did cry for Mele and Rio.
Bad guys:
The early vilains were boring as hell, but only Rio sama's Majesty made me go through it.
The Kenmas are okay, but it's especially thanks to Kata's training from Hell.
Rio sama is sexy, and you're gonna like him, because Mele said so.
Long is one monstrous bastard, but while he lacks some charisma that make me instead prefer Radiguet or Basco, he is one hell of a threat, and he damn feels like it.
Overall, Gekiranger was good and enjoyable, but I didn't feel it was any special, it's a good sentai to begin with though.
Good sentai, but lacks things.
