Why It Rocks[]
- Gingaman has a very retro style to the way its designed/edited, feeling like most 70s/80s Sentai.
- The Gingamen have some very decent teammates who are beloved by many fans.
- Ryouma/Ginga Red feels similar to Geki from Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger, with a much more likable personality.
- Hayate/Ginga Green acts as the parent to the group (similar to a straight man archetype), often calling out others for their flaws, especially Yellow, additionally he tends to be a picky eater, which provides some hilarious reactions towards Hayate.
- Gouki/Ginga Blue is very wholesome and his focus episodes are often pretty fun and emotional.
- Hyuuga/Black Knight is an underrated Sixth who acts as a mentor to the Gingamen and gets badass powers/fight scenes, and on top of that his sense of humor is could be relatable towards audiences.
- The theme song is somewhat memorable and very catchy.
- It's home to one of the best morphing sequences in Sentai with triumphant music and badass team poses.
- Hayate's rivalry with Shelinda was pretty cool and also boosted the character development for Hayate himself.
- While the villains didn't do too much outside of having a unique pirate motif, some of them have distinct and energetic personalities that are very engaging for the audience to watch.
- The action scenes were decently-choreographed, on top of that it has a remarkable cinematography.
- There were great teamups with Denji Sentai Megaranger and Kyukyu Sentai GoGoFive, two amazing Sentai seasons.
- They also had a great tribute episode in Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger.
Bad Qualities[]
- Hikaru/Ginga Yellow is an unlikeable character, who is often bratty and antagonistic towards his other teammates, Saya and Ryouma tend to fall into this category at times,
- Saya's nature of getting caught and injured almost eerytime, could mark her as a damsel in distress, while Ryouma tends to be bland at times due to not having a distinct personality.
- The series' other mentor, Wisdom Tree Moak, is a very boring mentor who offers little to nothing.
- The villains are also pretty dumb, despite the pirate motif being pretty cool.
- The aesthetics (bar Black Knight and his mech) are godawful, very horribly designed.
- The show is considered to be average by many fans, so because of this reception, it gets a spot on the Terrible TV Shows Wiki.
Trivia[]
- Hyuuga/Black Knight was portrayed by Teruaki Ogawa, who previously portrayed Sasuke/Ninja Red from Ninja Sentai Kakuranger.
