The way Ghost's forms are looking it's like it's leaning towards Wizard's four base forms, then upgrades for them so they're just rushing through them as quickly as possible. Fourze had new forms or a new weapon pretty much every episode and the pacing was still a thousand times better than this.

the belt has all of the sounds preloaded inside of it most of the time, and whatever is put into the belt is either a barcode, punchcode or rfid chip that tells the belt what sounds to play

in some cases such as the Double Driver or the Sengoku Driver, the collectable is large enough to have its own sound chip and lights so the device only plays some basic sounds and as long as you can keep making new collectables you can make an infinite number of sounds for the belt
I have the Sengoku Driver and the sounds come from the Lock Seeds, the Gokai Morphers had an extension or something you could put on it that would recognize all the new keys. Why weren't toys this cool when I was a child?

Fourze is so much fun at the beginning but I'll admit, a lot of characters turn into catchphrases or revert to stereotypes after their character arcs are over with. And I still like Meteor, it's just Storm that looks silly as hell.

I gave up on sentai like 12 years ago. I liked Hurricanger for it's storytelling and Abaranger for it's ability to balance on the line between corny laughs and emotional drama. Magiranger was just too clearly aimed at children. It didn't have any of the bite that I come to expect from the Japanese series. Unless it got significantly darker further in, it looked like it could have passed as a PR show with no real changes.

So with all that in mind, what should I watch?
Gokaiger, Shinkenger, and GoBusters are the absolute peak. Kyoryuger is really good, too!

Shinkenger is an almost samurai type show with good characters and an amazing twist at the end involving the red ranger.
Gokaiger is an anniversary sentai where the team are a bunch of space pirates who can transform into other previous teams using keys. They meet a lot of previous teams, lots of great action
GoBuster is a future spy kind of show that features a dancing mech in the end credits. What's not to like?

Kyoryuger is a dino-based sentai that's extremely up-beat

So, uh, I guess I watched all of Fourze in a week. I really like friendship stories?

There's a lot to talk about but drat if I can remember all of it with all the marathoning I did. Someone would have to ask for specifics. I think the monsters were especially cool in this one. Gentaro's probably my favorite of the Riders so far. It got pretty dark near the end but I think the heart of the show is just in how fun it is.

Its funny to me that the ultimate motivation of the main villain was "I wanna meet aliens, they seem cool". He got a lot of similarities with Sonozaki but he's so consistently cheerful that he feels like enough of his own character. Gamou's a selfish prick, but you can't help but like a guy who happily informs people that he made soup after murdering their best friend. The most interesting thing to me is that the stakes both do and don't feel as high as other shows. The final battle is less about stopping him from destroying Japan than it is seeing if they can befriend him.

My only complaint is that I would've liked to see how Gentaro would've befriended all the other evil characters, like Pyxis or Aries. But drat I'm really satisfied with that one.
Now watch the movies! There's one that takes place a couple years after the series is supposed to have ended.

There's not even that much to pick apart in the first five episodes of Gokaiger so he has to reaaaaaaally reach to get his lame jokes in. Luckily my power went out when I was about 10 minutes in so nature itself spared me from the headache.

Is Kuuga the place to start if I've never had any experience with Kamen Rider and don't mind a show being more than five years old? I'm told that the idea of a "modern" series started there, and I know from the Sega CD game somebody made out of ZO that there's a lot of old crusty production jank in the older stuff. But at the same time I have a tendency to think "these first installments must be great if they launched an ongoing series" and then find out that no, the sequels were far better received.
Either start with Kuuga/Agito (For a more serious, slow-drama burn) or start with Double and watch Double/OOOs/Fourze for a more modern, light-hearted but great show.

But for real, I don't know that much Japanese but I can even point out where TV-N is mistranslating things. Refusing to translate "Henshin" because it's iconic to the series is fine, but it's "We are no longer using the word "Crew" or "Friends" because Nakama has no English equivalent that can properly convey the emotion and feelings of this word that means "Friends" or "Comrades" or "Crew members"

TV-N is bad and there's no real reason to debate about it, it's not objectively bad, it's just bad. Just read this blog to see people a lot more fluent in Japanese than any of us pointing out how bad TV-N is. They're marginally better than nothing, but can often be misleading or just wrong.

I hope Decade and Gokaiger come back forever, in spite of you. Gokaiger was undisputedly one of the best series of Sentai and their gimmick allows them to constantly return and it still make sense.

The idea behind Gokaiger was to sell tiny little keys and half a decade later they're still selling those keys why wouldn't they keep that money train rolling

I'm not certain, sadly. I posted about this on a Facebook group too and one person said they were able to access the Japanese Netflix selections through a VPN, and thus see the Toku, but they weren't able to actually stream/watch them.
So many companies were giving Netflix poo poo about other countries sneaking in through VPNs and watching content they weren't supposed to that Netflix had to break proxies from working on their websites. So unless you own a true private VPN, it's not going to work properly.

If i want to learn Japanese I'll download Rosetta Stone. TVN doesn't even translate properly half the time and I only know basic japanese. It's like the whole "Utchuu Kitaa!" argument.

Sure, it's roughly translated as "Space is here!" or "Space has arrived" but translating the catchphrase as something digestible in English, the language you know, is probably more important. Context is really important in Japanese so directly translating a lot of stuff looks jarring and out of place which is TVN's big flaws

re TV-N: If you want to trick yourself into watching subtitles that are below average quality and sometimes completely misleading, it's fine if you honestly don't know better and don't plan on becoming a fan of Toku, ever, because of how often they mistranslate and incorrectly mislead the plot. If you think you're going to learn more Japanese by watching them too, you're also foolish because sometimes even their un-translated japanese is somehow wrong in context, too.

re Dekaranger: The premise is cool but the series itself gets old quick, because it treats so many episodes as stand-alone and goes on to explain everyone's powers multiple times over and over. Did you know Jasmine is an ESPer? You certainly will by episode 20 when it's explained 14 times by a narrator word by word over and over. SPD is very similar in plot and you're probably just as well off re-watching SPD until better subtitles come out because of how similar the shows can be.

re 555s (Aka Faiz): The show is slow and forced, and there's so much melodrama that just drags on. The suits are absolutely beautiful and one of my favorites in the entire genre, but watching the show is such a drag sometimes. If you want good melodrama and decent suits, Agito and Gaim have got you covered. The only great thing about Faiz doesn't even require subtitles, it's just Busta Rhymes screaming "Don't this poo poo make a nigga wanna" at a very dramatic scene for, what I can only imagine was someone Japanese wanting to use some gangster rap and recognized the "Jump Jump" part of the song. The song was actually taken out of the DVD versions though :v:

W was a simple concept and it's like they've been trying to one-up that since then. A return to the basics wouldn't be the worst thing imo but Wizard and Ghost had the most basic designs and were kinda trashy so I guess we're on track for another one of those seasons.
