Season Summary
Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger is the 35th installment of the Super Sentai Franchise. A group of young pirates come from space to Earth to obtain the "Greatest Treasure in the Universe", which can only be acquired after obtaining the "Greater Powers" of the different 34 Super Sentai Teams. However, they end up facing the Space Empire Zangyack, whose earlier invasion forces were wiped out by the 34 Sentai groups long ago before a new invasion force is established under Commander Warz Gill, the emperor's son. As a result, due to their history with the empire, the space pirates use the powers of the older teams and attempt to master their powers to fight the Zangyack forces as the Gokaigers.

In order to celebrate the premiere of the 35th season of Super Sentai, Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger, RangerCrew will be hosting monthly, seasonal discussions. A new month means two new seasons. Throughout the month, we’ll post questions to the fans to get their input on various topics regarding the particular seasons. Feel free to share your favorite episodes and moments, as well as your personal critiques about the seasons.

We ask that the monthly, seasonal discussions stay on topic.
Each month, a mod will create two threads like this and sticky them.

I enjoyed the opening. It was pretty catchy. The ending was alright too.

The Henshin was pretty cool, I liked how they used the X's and V's to transform them.

The weapons were alright, I liked the design of the sword.

I liked the crew right away, they were all likable characters from the start.

It did feel like an anniversary season for me, and I wasn't disappointed in the Gokai Changes.

[Kaizoku Blue]

Love pretty much everything about this show. That's my answer to the first seven questions.

[Billy Jarvis Stewart]

The opening was catchy! I found myself singing along in my attempt at japanese everytime!

I found the ending to be satisfying over all. I liked the final battle and the use of the keys in it!

I thought it was simple and sweet. It wasnt overdone like other seasons.

I enjoyed all the character at first, though doc annoyed me down the road.

Yep

I wasnt disapointed at all.
I liked the look and attacks of the weapons. Final Wave was an awesome special attack.
