[Review] Shuriken Sentai Ninninger

I posted this review on MDL but I might as well repost here with some extra comments.

Firstly, I DID started watching Ninninger when it was still airing and YES I loved it. But then I put the series on hold, not because the story was bad but more due to the fact it gets annoying seeing how the fandom kept shitting on the series as well as Nishikawa Shunsuke. As much as I can just ignore those things and just enjoy the show, the negativity and toxicity of the fandom was still bothering me so I decided to take a break from it. That, besides the fact that life also gets in the way. And I did resume the series in the end.

To be honest, the series was quite decent. Not too bad nor too silly, contrary to what some people might claim the series to be. And in terms of acting, I don't see that to be any worse issue compared to any other Sentai series before or after Ninnin. Even for the actor playing Takaharu. Also for people who still question Nishikawa Shunsuke's acting ability, he IS a good actor honestly as you could see in later episodes where Takaharu's personality totally change whenever enemy monsters get up to their tricks. Or if you disliked the idea of a cowboy ninja, dude, Kinji's already is a Japanese cowboy prior so having him embracing his new ninja side shouldn't be weird.
