I finished Timeranger. Amazing series, btw. I don't know how to fill that void. I need Sentai and Kamen Rider recommendations. Here's what I finished years ago: Bioman, Maskman, Liveman, Jetman, Ohranger, Megaranger, Gingaman, Kyoryuger, ToQger. The only Rider series I finished was Fourze. Gokaiger and Dekaranger is homework

Besides repeating Gokaiger and Dekaranger as clear ones u should watch as soon as possible. Carranger ChangeMan Hurricanger Abaranger Gekiranger Kakuranger And of course Shinkenger As far as Kamen Rider...I myself am not too knowledgable on that front but I can reccomend Kamen Rider Kabuto which is my all time favourite Rider. And also Kamen Rider Black....avoid Black RX

For Rider I recommend: W, Gaim, OOO, Ex-Aid and Build.
In my opinion those five series' are the cream of the crop of the late Heisei era Rider shows. Great characters, fun gimmicks and of course some of the best story lines in the history of the series. Expect to go on some emotional roller coasters especially with the likes of W and Gaim.

I almost forgot one more reccomendation for Sentai
It is a subjective debate about the best Red senshi in Sentai...either Ryuranger or Captain Marvelous but for good reason Dairanger is f*** amazing and has the best heltmetless rollcall in all of sentai.

Don't get me wrong Dairanger was still very very good for most of its run, just that ending arc was a bit of a let down.

For Kamen Rider stuff, I would recommend two 90s movies: Kamen Rider ZO and Kamen Rider J. ZO in particular is a near-perfect distillation of classic Kamen Rider in 50 minutes.
Black to me, is peak Showa-era toku. The original 70s show is pretty cool, too. A little rough in places, but dammit, Hiroshi Fujioka!
Heisei-wise, Ryuki is sticking in my mind as I recently rewatched it. Kuuga and Agito are also great.

I am gonna reccomend something else Toku bit it is neither Kamen Rider or Sentai.
I give to you REDMAN(not the rapper sadly)
This lands squarly in it is so bad that it is amazing territory because RedMan lives to kill EVERYONE he does not care what you are doing...standing there idly by? , just taking a stroll through the park minding ones own business? he does not care if RedMan sees you you will f***ing die no questions asked.
You can find the episodes on youtube they are only each about 3min long and it is f***ing ridiculous how gawd damn petty muderous he is but it is also damn f***ing funny.

Since you already have watched some 1980s sentai, I would recommend Changeman and Flashman as well. Engaging characters, good plots, awesome villains (Sir Cowler from Flashman definitely makes my Top 10 Sentai villain list still)...they and the ones you watched (Bioman and Maskman) are what I consider the mountain top of 1980s sentai.

So Shout! Factory is having a sale on Super Sentai seasons. I'm for sure getting Dairanger since I already am about 1/3 the way through thanks to a library copy, but if I get two series I get free shipping. I'm torn between either Jetman, Zyuranger, and Kakuranger. Anyone want to sway me in one show's favor?

Also, I just found this out: the Tubi tv app has all of the Shout! Sentai releases available to watch.
There are ads, and the app isn't SUPER reliable, but if anyone wants a free legal way to watch them, that's an option.

Kakuranger is my all time favourite sentai it is alot of fun , great cast , first ever female leader , it has an overlooked awesome and brutal gawd damn fight between Sho and Kane Kasugi , and it has an episode where you get ninja santas...again an great series and of all the ninja series it is the best. But of those three the one you wanna get is Jetman....it is regarded as the best series in all of sentai and it is damn nere impossible to argue against it and it has the most infamous moment in all of sentai , fantastic characters , fantastic villans....and it is one of the few series that has a strong romance plot that is done extremely well...but this is not a series where I can say this is meant to be fun this one gets real f***ing dark more than most but in place of that fun is a quality sentai with such strong writing. The biggest weakness of this series IMO is the monsters of the week are pretty ass but that is such a minor thing when the rest of this show is so damn strong.

I've probably talked about Gokaiger at length before, possibly in this very thread, but I just can't help it.
The year that Gokaiger ran here in Japan was magical. A lot of shows go for nostalgia, and Gokaiger certainly went there. But the nostalgia that Gokaiger traded in seemed to be aimed not at long-time Sentai fans, but at older relatives of Sentai's target audience. Older brothers and sisters. Parents. And, yeah, grandparents. Gokaiger was a show that family could watch with their younger relatives and and enjoy it. Moreover, it seemed designed to get the different ages and different generations to talk with each other.
The only Gokaiger movie I saw in theaters was the Gavan one. But when I left the theater, I saw young kids asking their parents and grandparents about some of the stuff they'd seen. It was just super sweet.
And of course, it didn't hurt that Gokaiger was just an amazingly well-made kids' show. It's got all the tropes in there, but the acting is good, the characters are excellent, and it doesn't at all shy away from going *really* dark on a few occasions. I wasn't a Sentai fan before I watched the show. But by the end of it, I definitely had a great appreciation for the series, the history behind it, and what it has meant to people for (at the time) 35 years.
Oh. And the MERCH! It seemed like there was new stuff released EVERY week. Sometimes bigger items, but you'd rarely go long without a new gashapon machine, or Ranger key set, or sofbi, or whatever being released on Saturday.
Also, the music was super fun.

I ordered Dairanger and Jetman this afternoon before work. I likely won't get to watch much before I go to Nashville but they'll be here when I get back.
On a different note, I'm currently watching Denziman, and holy shit the SFX are HORRIFIC. As in many times worse than Battle Fever J.

This thread made me remember that I ordered TimeRanger and GaoRanger from the Shout Factory sale a few days ago and had not heard anything about it since.
Didn’t get any notification it had been shipped, like I normally do. Didn’t get any notification it had been delivered, like I normally do. But I do have them, now.

I also happen to like Majin Robo Veronica, mainly because it's a freaky Keita Amemiya (director of Jetman,, various sweet toku movies in the 90s and of course, GARO) design
Jetman is great though. The end of an era in many ways, especially the "Military sci-fi" era. They'd try and revisit it with Ohranger and to a lesser extent Go-Busters, though. Watch Jetman, then episode 28 of Gokaiger, for the goddamn feels. Saying any more would spoil a huge aspect of Jetman's epilogue.

Not all of them are complete crap as you pointed out but I still believe that is the biggest weakness of the show...which is not a bad problem to have at all. I would NEVER betray the one true god thtt is GOD RAMEN that would be like anyone daring to insult the one true 2nd god that is Croco Dvile I mean just look at him...aint he adorable so fluffy scaly.

So about Ryusoulger...so far IMO not bad at all
Untill you start talking about both the theme songs.....ohhhh boy ESPECIALLY that ending theme which had to have come from hell itself.
BUT what is undeniably f***ing awesome is the mecha fights....holy shit the mecha actually f***ing moves like REALLY moves really quickly and the fights are filmed in new ways they look awesome and again the mecha is great and I LOVE that while it has armaments when it changes it has someone other than red taking controll.
