NHK Super Sentai Poll

[Lunagel]

Vote for your favorite Super Sentai series, hero, and robo!

The poll is being done by NHK, a public broadcast station, not Toei or TV-Asahi, so it might actually be slightly impartial this time lol

You can also put in why you like them, your favorite scene/episode, and why you like it.

Series (choose 3): https://forms.nhk.jp/jfe/form/SV_6Lvl4Nmz6AmUA7k

I feel like if someone poitned a gun to my head and told me to identify the third+ or even the second robo from these series I would die

[Lunagel]

Series: Hurricane, Deka, Shinken
Heroes: Hurricane Blue, Rio, Shinken Red (Kaoru), KyouryuuCyan, Papillon Ohger
Robo: Galaxy Mega, Senpuujin, MagiKing

[HowlingSnail]

Series: Donbros, Gobus, Go-On
Heros: Oni Sister, Stag Buster, Black Condor, Gokai Silver, ToQ 5gou
Robos: Zenkaiju-Oh, Dai-Tanken (I like that the auxilliaries get to be a full robo), Gao King (Big Wild Force nostalgia)

They've included 2 of the extra Akaningers, but any powers like the Kyoryugers are only on there once, I notice. Also VRV Master and Gunmajin are there. The latter is an especially odd inclusion.

There's a lot of weird inconsistencies. Like why did they include all the Nouto in the DOnbros members, that's super weird. Why did they include Lio for GekiRanger but not Mele? It's like splitting up an obvious pair, someone made that decision and it baffles me

I also don't understand why some robos are there, some are just standalone mecha. Some forms are considered a "new form" while others aren't. They have a lot more than I expected, like mad respect for a lot of the extra rangers that they include. Just curious as to why some were included and some weren't

[CheetahLynx]

Series: Go-Onger, Gokaiger, Go-Busters (all the ゴー series lol)

Hero: GokaiRed, Go-On Red, Red Buster, GekiYellow (the cheetahs), DekaYellow

Robo: GokaiOu, MagiKing, EngineOh

[takenoko]

It's pretty fun seeing the different responses. It's such a wide and vast history that there's so much to choose from. I'm constantly going "Oh right, him/her". And it pleases me that this community has a lot of favorites that aren't just sausagefest dudes. Toei, don't tell me lady Riders wouldn't do well with the fans

[KRDangerousZombie]

Series = Go-Busters, Toqger & Carranger

Although Gokaiger, Shinkenger & Jetman are probably better shows, I know those are gonna have WAY more people go to bat for them as their favourites.

Heroes = YellowRacer, MegaBlack, ShinkenPink, BlueBuster, Pat3

I tried to keep it to "my favourite of each colour/slot" but took a 2nd pink instead of a red because otherwise it'd probably mean taking 2 from the same show (Go-Busters/Shinkenger)

Robos = VictoryRobo (GoGoV's first), Diesel-Oh (Toqger's second) & PatKaiser (the Patranger's mecha)

My favourite mechs are usually the big clustermechs that have a billion parts and are stupid big, like Toqrainbow, G12, etc, but this poll only counts the base forms so. (also a bunch of one-off movie mechs for some reason, but whatever)

Also VRV Master and Gunmajin are there. The latter is an especially odd inclusion.

Spoiler

Mele = In every episode of Gekiranger, has a transformation sequence and is paired with Lio who is included... somehow not included.
Hakaizer = suit is in like 10 episodes of Zenkaiger and some spin-offs, has a transformation sequence, not included.
All 3 of the Akibarangers aren't included in-spite of having a 24 episode run.

VRV master = in less than 10 episodes of Carranger, doesn't have a transformation sequence and only exists to give the team a new mecha and fuck off, included.
Gunmajin = in 6 episodes of Ohranger and barely exists as a character, included.
ZyuohBird = in 5 episodes and some spin-offs, included. (also is a recolour)
King KyoryuRed = 3 episodes and some spin-offs, included.
DekaBright = literally one-off episode, included.
RyusoulBrown = literally one-off episode recolour of a different suit, included.
Lupin vs Pat 6th = both forms counted as separate rangers.
Donbros 6th = Both forms counted as separate rangers.

It's really inconsistent what is/isn't counted for this. Both the dad & grandad versions of Akaninger powers are on here but not the grandson Akaninger or Midoninger, two forms of the same ranger counted TWICE, one-off rangers counted sometimes but not other times (sometimes even within the same season).
Also Justice for the Akibarangers wtf?
