Fans of newer seasons (or Franchise/PowerRangers fans wanting to get in) will be welcomed by a Sentai that features very little of the common characteristics, like giant robots or combinable weapons. The suit designs are also fairly nonstandard by today's designs, and the special effects didn't allow for a lot of the flashy attacks used on both sides these days. Everything like that that merely doesn't look as good as in the 80s Sentai that are recently getting subbed flat-out couldn't be done back then, before the series proved itself worthy of the budget for even the best 1975 had to offer. While originally ground breaking and impressive, time has not helped this series at all. The fact that it has [[ArchivePanic almost twice as many episodes as any other series]] doesn't help either.

* HarsherInHindsight: Watching Kirenger can be a hit harder if one knows the fate of both the actors who played him, as the general public's typecasting of them led to financial problems and other woes.
** The suicide of the original Kirenger's actor Baku Hatakeyama in 1978 still hurts fans after so many years. Him being typecast in the part led to financial issues when he was unable to land another regular role. Both Toru Hirayama and costar Naoya Makoto worried about him to the point that the former offered Hatakeyama a guest spot in ''Series/KaiketsuZubat'' to hold him over temporarily. Ultimately, he would end his life barely half a year after Goranger had finished airing despite Makoto's attempts to dissuade his costar.
** His temporary successor, Jiro Daruma, has had it hard too. Daruma also fell prey to typecasting which led him to quit acting altogether at the end of the '80s and moving to the Philippines where he met his future wife (who was 22 years old at the time) before returning to Japan in the early '90s and fathering a son. Much later in 2006, Daruma suffered from osteoarthritis resulting in knee surgery which left him unable to move without a cane. He lost his job as an auto parts delivery man and then had to have a 0.4-inch tube inserted into his chest due to respiratory problems. Daruma's wife left him and took their child with her, leaving him with high bills and forced him to go work in handicrafts in order to pay rent. All of this wouldn’t become common knowledge until December 2014 where most of his castmates would reunite to [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments wish him]] [[AFriendInNeed the best.]]
