Review:

Even as a child, I am a fan of the super sentai series and have watched many of this series. Personally, I liked this Super Sentai Series because of the story line.This is just one of my favorites Super Sentai Series. At first, when I read about this series I wasn't excited, but as I started watching the series, I found that the story is quite interesting. The characters were well played and the  weapons are great. If anything else, I strongly suggest that you watch this series. In here, we will see how one can develop trust amongst the rest, trust in one's abilities, the love of friends, importance of friends, and about family.
