History YMMV / MahouSentaiMagiranger

* FoeYay: Houka with both Nai and Mea/Vancuria, the two girl's first major plot had them hypnotizing and transforming Houka into their vampiress servant, and are always touchy-feely with their enemy and disregarding of personal space.

* MoralEventHorizon: N Ma crosses it when he [[spoiler: destroys Magitopia and killing Sungel and Blagel]], Dagon killing [[spoiler: Titan]].
** Meemy crossed it with his betrayal of Magitopia.

* NightmareFuel: [[DepravedBisexual Belbireji the Incubis]] uses this both as his primary powerset, and is generally very creepy.

** N. Ma's final form, he has a CreepyMonotone and HorrorHunger, for EVERYTHING.

* FoeYay: Houka with both Nai and Mea.

* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: While it was successful in Japan, Magiranger was so popular in Korea, they're making an MMO game based on the series. ''IN 2011.''

* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: The series' soundtrack is catchy and hopeful, perfectly embodying the themes of family and courage present throughout, especially some of the more notable vocal songs created for the series. Also among the {{Image Song}}s, Kai's "Yuuki wa Phoenix" stands out. Yes, that ''is'' Atsushi Hashimoto singing it. Surprised?

* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: The series' soundtrack is catchy and hopeful, perfectly embodying the themes of family and courage present throughout, especially some of the more notable vocal songs created for the series.

* MemeticMutation: The scene in the first episode where the Ozu family got shock at Kai's reckless antics has become quite a Draw The Squad meme for various fandoms. In fact, [[https://biomic.tumblr.com/post/155925565031/already-loving-this-family a tumblr]] post about it got more than 45k notes.

* CrazyAwesome: Many of the spells take on unusual forms, yet are devastating in no small part because of this.

* BrokenAesop: Episodes 23 and 24 have Tsubasa ending up in a perilous situation because he used forbidden magic to try to reverse time to find out what happened to the people who lost their souls. Hikaru told him not to do this, by the logic they have to find some other way of fixing things. But Hikaru had no better idea. If they waited for him to come up with a solution, it would've been too late and the souls would have been destroyed. So what else could've been done?

** The suit for when [=MagiPhoenix=] rides [=MagiDragon=] looks odd due to how it's worn: the stunt performer is clearly wearing [[http://supersentai.com/database/2005_magiranger/images/magi-mm-magidragon.jpg the torso of MagiPhoenix and the legs of MagiDragon]], turning the rest of the dragon into a lifesaver around the performer's waist from which the lower legs of MagiPhoenix dangle. Whenever the performer moves in this set-up, the entire suit wobbles unconvincingly, and when it's filmed in slow motion after defeating a monster it's even worse.

* WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids: For a series revolving around a heartwarming "Family" theme, [=MagiRanger=] can be pretty dark when it comes to human casualties; victims are killed off in ways as {{NightmareFuel}}-ish as possible[[note]] As much as a general-audience show can allow, for the very least.[[/note]], and after they die, ''they stay dead''.

* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: Some of the more notable vocal songs created for the series.
** Madou Kishi Wolzard performed by [=NoB=].
** Shining Magic Magishine performed by Psychic Lover.
** Mahou Sentai Magiranger Opening performed by Iwasaki Takafumi.
** Make Legend! Magiranger! performed by Mizuki Ichirou.
** Go! Yellow Thunder performed by Matsumoto Hiroya, Tsubasa's actor and used for his [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome victory over the Hades God Cyclops]].
** Fantastic! [=MagiAction=] performed by Takatori Hideaki.
** Song For Magitopia performed by Mizuki Ichirou, Kushida Akira, and Kageyama Hironobu.
** Majin Gattai! [=MagiKing!=] performed by Masaki Endoh.

* EvenBetterSequel: The show is considered to be better than ''Dekaranger''.

* GrowingTheBeard: The show definitely comes into its own with the introduction of the Heavenly Saint Lunagel in stage 16.

** In stage 22, the Magirangers end up in a JidaiGeki themed [[PocketDimension Marudeyona World]] and are forced to dress and fight like ninjas. The core cast would later appear in ChouNinjaTaiInazuma, a Franchise/SuperSentai parody set in the JidaiGeki period with our heroes being magically empowered ninjas.

* NarmCharm: Let's face it, how they did the theme of family, courage, and magic is a little silly but somehow, they make it work epically.

* SoBadItsGood: The Korean version of the Opening: "Go Fight Pow! Pow! Power Ranger!"
* SpecialEffectFailure: The premier of Travelion's [[KillItWithFire Destruction Fire Reverse Spray]] is decidedly underwhelming.
** The suit for when MagiPhoenix rides MagiDragon looks odd due to how it's worn: the stunt performer is clearly wearing [[http://supersentai.com/database/2005_magiranger/images/magi-mm-magidragon.jpg the torso of MagiPhoenix and the legs of MagiDragon]], turning the rest of the dragon into a lifesaver around the performer's waist from which the lower legs of MagiPhoenix dangle. Whenever the performer moves in this set-up, the entire suit wobbles unconvincingly, and when it's filmed in slow motion after defeating a monster it's even worse.

* TheWoobie: Tsubasa.

* MagnificentBastard: Both Meemy and Dagon pull off some very cunning plans through expert manipulation of both the heroes and the other villains.

* FamilyUnfriendlyAesop: As with ''Series/ChoujinSentaiJetman'' before, our heroes see no problem with cheating at games of chance to rescue those most important to them.
** Tsubasa is dealt with one (combined with FantasticAesop since it involves ghosts) about letting dead people go.

* HolyShitQuotient: Stage 42 explodes past all limits with [=WolKentauros=] vs. Hades God Sleipnir on his chariot, complete with nod to Literature/BenHur!

* HilariousInHindsight: In stage 22, the Magirangers end up in a JidaiGeki themed [[PocketDimension Marudeyona World]] and are forced to dress and fight like ninjas. The core cast would later appear in ChouNinjaTaiInazuma, a Franchise/SuperSentai parody set in the JidaiGeki period with our heroes being magically empowered ninjas.

* EarWorm: ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mm152Jdh9wQ "Go Fight! Magi Magi Magiranger! Shinjite Future. OK! All right!Yuuki wokono te ni...Tabidatte!"]]''
** The ending dance theme. "Magi! Magi Magiro! Magi! Magi Magika!"

** Magi! Magi Magiro! Magi! Magi Magika! The high voice doesn't help either.
** Damn'it! I can't take that song Mandara Boy sings about the 5 magicians out of my head!
* EvenBetterSequel: To ''Dekaranger''.

* MoralEventHorizon: N Ma [[spoiler: destroying Magitopia and killing Sungel and Blagel]], Dagon killing [[spoiler: Titan]].

** Oh, and then there's the [[BodyHorror fashion in which N Ma emerges from Titan's body...]]

* AwesomeMusic: Some of the more notable vocal songs created for the series.

* VisualEffectsOfAwesome: In Stage 9, [=FireKaiser's=] [[FlamingSword Flaming Bari Javelin]] is actually on fire, and not just for StockFootage!

* FanNickname: [=MagiShine=]? Surely you mean [=MagiPimp=].

* RewatchBonus: Watching again for all the foreshadowing regarding [[spoiler:Wolzard's true identity and Miyuki's true fate]] is practically a must.
** IKnewIt: [[spoiler: Wolzard appearing so similar to the Magirangers from the moment he arrived was enough to tell some people that he was the missing father of the Ozu family.]]

* UnexpectedCharacter: The 2018 ''Hero Mama League'' special is centered around Sentai heroes who have grown up to become mothers and struggle to juggle their hero work with their lives as housewives...so imagine everyone's surprise when one of the featured ladies turned out to be none other than ''Houka'', whose general flightiness and ReallyGetsAround tendencies don't exactly inspire an immediate image of a natural housewife and mother. (Fittingly, in the special itself, while she's shown to have committed to a husband, she's easily the ditziest of the moms present to the point [[WackyParentSeriousChild her toddler daughter keeps calling her out on it]].) Making it even more surprising is that while the other two participating actresses were enthusiastic Sentai alumni who had reprised their roles multiple times by that point, Houka's actress Ayumi Beppu had previously declared an intention not to appear in children's shows again, and although her cameo appearance in ''[[Series/KaizokuSentaiGokaiger Gokaiger]]'' was indicative she wasn't averse to reprising her role as Houka, the announcement still came as a huge surprise for those who weren't expecting to see her come back for more.

* WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids: For a series revolving around a heartwarming "Family" theme, [=MagiRanger=] can be pretty dark when it comes to human casualities; victims are killed off in ways as {{NightmareFuel}}-ish as possible[[note]] As much as a general-audience show can allow, for the very least.[[/note]], and after they die, ''they stay dead''.

* CompleteMonster: [[DragonInChief Hades God Dagon]], leader of the [[JerkassGods Infershia Pantheon of Hades Gods]], is dedicated to the revival of the [[EldritchAbomination Dark God [[GreaterScopeVillain N Ma]]. Adhering to the Dark Precepts, Dagon shows no regret in executing his fellow God Ifrit when [[YouHaveFailedMe Ifrit fails to defeat the Magirangers within a time limit]]. Dagon soon shows his true colors by cheating, and when the good-hearted Hades God Titan attempts to seal away N Ma within himself, Dagon ambushes and kills him, releasing N Ma to devour Magitopia, earth and even Infershia as well. Betraying and attempting to kill his honorable companion Sphinx, Dagon later rejects her offer to ally with the humans, claiming all he desires is destruction and to see "the ultimate nightmare."
