Context YMMV / TensouSentaiGoseiger

Go To

1* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: Despite the series not shining as much as the recent predecessors, at least up to the first one-third, its soundtrack is definitely on par with others':
2** ''Tensou Sentai Goseiger'''s [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eSqkROCl6TY theme song]] is certainly one of the most heroic sounding theme songs in the series, befitting of this show.
3** Gosei Great's theme song, "''Kōrin! Gosei Great''", is a ''must'' track.
4** The battle theme: "''[[OverlyLongName Tatakae! Soshite katte wo e yo!]]''".
5** Double that for [[DancingTheme Gotcha Goseiger]]. [[RearrangeTheSong Both versions]].
6*** Correction; [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EDgA_qlH2jE all THREE versions]]
7** Gosei Knight's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=39xDB6Kto2g theme]] has a really catchy tune too.
8** Datas Hyper's theme song definitely counts. Bonus points for the [[Series/MetalHeroes nostalgic feeling you get by listening to it]].
9* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: Exotic Brothers. They even outright say that [[ItOnlyWorksOnce it's a one-time thing]].

11* BrokenBase: Common opinion seems to be the show falls here; some believe Toei was putting all their energy towards [[Series/KaizokuSentaiGokaiger the next season]], while others find it to be a good season in its own right, in spite of being sandwiched in between two very popular seasons, making it one of the most divisive Sentai seasons. Perhaps because of this, the show suffers from a mashup effect -- a set of angelic heroes with two different [[MerchandiseDriven collectable gimmicks]] instead of just one (cards and Headders), versus three disparate villain groups [[spoiler:(though they're all being manipulated by a FallenAngel)]].
12* CompleteMonster: [[spoiler:[[DarkMessiah Buredoran[=/=]Brajira of the Messiah]] is a [[FallenHero fallen Gosei Angel]] seeking to destroy and rebuild the world because he deems it corrupt. In the distant past he murdered his allies to become more powerful, after which he escapes into the future, where he manipulates an alien army into invading Earth and unseals monsters born of pollution he himself sealed away to do his dirty work. After his memory is erased and he is enslaved by Robogog, he develops a relationship with Metal Alice. Together, they restore his memory and destroy Robogog. [[UngratefulBastard As thanks]], Brajira murders a wounded Metal Alice. Brainwashing Gosei Knight, Brajira tries to enact his plan by using massive drills to destroy the world. When fatally wounded, he decides to just destroy the planet anyway, even though he can't make a new one. While claiming the world is corrupt, his attitude and omnicidal tendencies [[NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist expose his noble motives as hollow]], and prove him to be just a madman with [[AGodAmI a god complex]].]]
13* EnsembleDarkhorse:
14** Magis/Gosei Green, thanks to the memorable act of protecting his partner Hyde from a MonsterOfTheWeek at [[HeroicSacrifice the cost of his life]].
15** For Mecha, Manta Headder, simply because he turns the Gosei Great into a pirate themed mech. One can't help but wonder if its popularity inspired [[Series/KaizokuSentaiGokaiger the next Sentai]].
16* EpilepticTrees: Since his helmet was never shown in series, what animal was Gosei Green? His color and tribe made many suspect it was a Turtle[[note]]the fact that ''Dairanger'', a series that ''Goseiger'' had a few throwbacks to, had a turtle mecha was one of the reasons for this theory[[/note]]. However, thanks to the [[Series/KaizokuSentaiGokaiger Ranger Key Set Lost Edition]], his animal is now official: [[spoiler: a dolphin]].
17* EvilIsCool: Buredoran (aka [[spoiler:Brajira]]) might be a constant backstabber who gives even [[Series/ChoujinSentaiJetman Radiguet]] a run for his money, but he is good as an evil counterpart and foil to everything the Goseigers stand for, has a calm and calculating personality. It goes to the point where some fans ''outright'' admitted that [[JustHereForGodzilla they're just watching the show because of him]].
18* FanNickname: ''Super Sentai: The Headmasters'', not unlike that of ''Anime/TransformersHeadmasters''.
19* HesJustHiding: Up until the very end, there was a strong group that believed [[spoiler:Magis]] would return at ''some'' point, looking for clues where clues were not.
20* HilariousInHindsight:
21** Landick Gosei Great's FinishingMove has been described as a drill [[Franchise/KamenRider Rider Kick]]. Then ''Series/KamenRiderFourze'' happened...
22** In the ''Anime/GalaxyAngel'' anime, there's an episode where the Moon Angel Troupe are the main characters of a ''Franchise/SuperSentai'' parody called "Angel Five". Amusingly, the Goseigers themselves are the official angel-themed {{Sentai}} team.
23* JustHereForGodzilla: There are some who agreed that Buredoran is the main reason why they're watching ''Goseiger'' in the first place, at least during its run anyway.
24* MoralEventHorizon: Buredo-RUN[[spoiler:/Brajira]] crosses this when he [[spoiler:brutally murders Metal Alice of the Agent after she helped him bring down Robogog]].
25* {{Narm}}
26** The [[MonsterOfTheWeek MOTW's]] "ominous buzzing" sounds like farting at points.
27** Kinggon and Makuin's Yuuma Buster sounds awesome... But then you see the posture that Makuin and Kinggon take to execute the move, with Makuin pretty much bending over while Kinggon stands behind him.
28* NarmCharm: Gosei Knight's [[LargeHam hammy tendencies]] during his debut make him theatrically heroic.
29* {{Shipping}}:
30** There's no OfficialCouple on the show of the main characters, but some fans thought that Hyde and [[spoiler:Magis]] would have [[HoYay gone well together]] and were disappointed his appearance on the show was brief.
31** [[ChildhoodFriendRomance Alata and Eri]] is also present as a fan couple, with a bit of [[BelligerentSexualTension Hyde and Moune]] in the mix, making these pairings ShipMates.
32* SignatureScene: [[spoiler: Alata punching out the darkness controlling Gosei Knight]] has become this. Even those who haven't seen the show know of this scene.
33* SpecialEffectsFailure:
34** Buredoran of the Chupacabra's claws are clearly EVA or a similar material, given how impossibly flexible they are whenever he moves his hands.
35** During the post-intro mecha scene, one of the fake mountains can be seen being jiggled around by the explosions.
36** In Epic 10, the monster's legs can still clearly be seen sticking out after it explodes.
37* TearJerker: Epic 41. Poor Koro; it's like ''WesternAnimation/TheIronGiant'' all over again.
38* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter:
39** The Landick siblings are the most underutilized characters in the show. One of ''Goseiger's'' problems are a little bit too much focus on the Skicks, especially Eri (Gosei Knight as well for being the only character that has a story arc), which is carried over to ''[[Series/PowerRangersMegaforce Megaforce]]''. [[TheLancer Agri]] in particular could play [[WhatYouAreInTheDark a similar role to]] [[Series/GoGoSentaiBoukenger Bouken Black Masumi]] as hinted in the first episode but was scrapped later on.
40** Fans will never know details about [[spoiler:Burajira's past aside from him betraying the other Gosei Angels. Is there a catalyst for his traitorous side? Is he a Skick, Landick, or Seaick?]]
41** Magis, who created a lot of fan speculation, ended up being not very important outside of a few episodes.
42* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot:
43** The origins of Knightic Power. It was never really explained.
44** During their battles against Warstar, Alata had personal battles against Dereputa. The same kind of happened between Agri and Kingugon during Yumajuu arc (but only towards the end of the arc, thus making it another example of this). Why couldn't we have the same during Matrintis arc, but with Hyde? His water based powers and analytical strategic mind would be used in a great manner if put against a stronger Matrintis's general.
45** The Gosei World is not shown (or at least details on the Angels' daily life or tribe rivalry) at all.
46** More use of combined elemental attacks would be interesting, like Wind+Ice or Water+Land or Thunder+Water. Those could be used in several creative ways.
47* ToughActToFollow: The series had the unfortunate fate of being sandwiched between two very popular Sentai series [[Series/SamuraiSentaiShinkenger before]] and [[Series/KaizokuSentaiGokaiger after]] it, plus a very [[Series/KamenRiderDouble popular entry]] from its [[Franchise/KamenRider sister series]] airing at the same time, causing ''Goseiger'' to suffer bad critical evaluation in comparison. It did manage to be VindicatedByHistory sometime afterwards, but it unfortunately continues to remain in the shadow of its surrounding series in terms of popularity.
48* {{Woolseyism}}: The Millionfold Curiosity subtitles translate the monster names so that Western viewers can tell what movie they’re derived from.
