Bad Qualities

  1. Despite being a kids' show, it feels more like a TV-14 show at times since it has violent scenes that are inappropriate for a kids' show. It's is probably due to Japan's less-strict rule on allowing blood in kids' shows. On the other hand, The fewer restrictions on allowing blood and guns allow for much more intense scenes to play out. So some can consider the inclusion of these scenes as a good thing instead of censoring them for the sake of "Its for kids" as a good thing and rejects the outdated censoring.
  2. It started slightly going downhill during the run Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger but it redeemed itself during the premiere of Doubutsu Sentai Zyuohger.
  3. The trailers for the anniversary seasons feel a little bit too overhyped, even with Kaitou Sentai Lupinranger vs Keisatsu Sentai Patranger.
  4. Most of the movies are 30 minutes long, which makes them rather short.
  5. They rely on the same motif a lot of times without trying to be unique wit them, most notably Dinosaurs and Vehichles.
  6. Some of Super Sentai Teams are NOT going to happen or they did missing out with awesome team-ups such as Kyuranger vs. Zyuohger, Gaoranger vs. Timeranger,.
