WHAT COULD POSSIBLY WRONG WITH NINNINGER?

Fuuhh! That's a quite long title.
What is currently happen in Ninninger? Is there anything big occured?
Today, let's talk a bit on what is wrong with Nininger up to the point that I am not as excited as before to watch it. Generally, there are three main points that have been wasted by the writer.

1. The Storyline
Ninninger has a big chance on being one of most successful sentai series among its fans, but unfortunately this series failed.
Forty episodes? have been aired yet there is NO MAJOR story in the plot. No plot twist, no major plot that make viewers to curious on what will happen in next episode? What will happen in the future episodes? It is all about trying to be last ninja, getting new allies, fighting and bla bla bla. Nothing that attract or hook me to stay tune every week.
Go-busters - Hiromu being the back up of Enter and some of Jin' data are with Enter. How to destroy Enter without harming Hiromu and Jin?
Shinkenger - Seal Doukoku by learning the sealing character. It turns out that Takeru is just a vessel not the real Shiba Head. This creating conflict among the vassals either to fight alongside Takeru or Kaoru, the real Shiba Head.
Toqger - The five Toqger turn out to be kids with adult bodies. Akira, ex member of Shadow Line join Toqger. Right shares the same darkness as Zett and no longer able to return to his self child. Will he be able to defeat Shadow line alone?
Ninninger - ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

2. Characters
If I have to talk about characters in detail, I don't think I can express about them in words. I am just speechless with the characters. Ninninger sets up great characters with the character description in the beginning of the series. It's giving too much spotlight on Takaharu, sometimes Yakumo and Kasumi and totally leave out the development on Nagi, Fuuka and Kinji.
There's not much can be said in the development of the characters other than being downgraded.

• Takaharu is describes as optimist in the group but he is too optimist that he starts to annoy me with his optimism.
• Yakumo is described as a cool character. But why did every Yakumo centric episodes make his character looks from cool to 'not cool'?
• Kasumi is a genius and she is awesome but she also been outshine by Takaharu's character.
• Nagi and Fuuka. I feel bad for these two; always been left out in the background rather than shine brightly in the series. I know that these two are the youngest members in the group but show me that these two can also outshine the trio (Takaharu, Yakumo and Kasumi). Nagi is described as an observant and knows various things. Show to me and the viewers out there his ability. Fuuka is described as reliable character but most of the times, other characters have to save her especially Takaharu. Show me that Fuuka also can be independent and able to destroy a yokai by herself.
• As for Kinji, he is a likeable character, but show more potential in his character as the Last Ninja apprentice. Don't keep tying him with Izayoi for useless matter. Be serious if you are going to use Izayoi as the development of Kinji's character.

3. Villains
No enjoyable villains like Zett, Shadow Line, Enter, Chimatsuri Doukoku. There is nothing to show the true power of the four main villains. Even Usukawa Tayu is a threat to Shinkenger. They are just assisting in gathering the fear by bringing some yokai to fight ninninger. The end. Kibaoni Gengetsu is nowhere to be found in the story, yet suddenly we all are being introduced with his son? Even Zett shows up as early as episode 11.
'Facepalm'

I am not trying to critic Ninninger as I am currently give my best to enjoy the show, but I can not help but point out its major and visible flaws. Not that other series don't have any flaws but this one shows too much. With great characters in Ninninger, they can do beyond this. Give a plot twist regarding the characters. Don't waste the potential that they have in the show. Use Takaharu optimism in a positive and convincing manner like Right. Give Yakumo constant scenes that show his cool and serious demeanor. Show out more Nagi's ability as someone who has quite a lot certificates. Let Fuuka be a strong and awesome Fuuka, not the unreliable Shironinger. Have Kasumi creates more device and use her intelligence during battle. Make Kinji a rival worth to be Last Ninja alongside the Igasaki family. As for Tsumuji, his role is not as important as Hikoma Kusakabe.

Please take this as a mere complaint not that I hate the show. Anyway, I'm looking forward for upcoming episodes as we are approaching the final battle soon. I also can't wait for the versus movie. I miss the train members. Toqger...

Well, this all for now. Study and work have been affecting my blogging life which is why it is quite difficult for me to blog for the past months. I hope you have a great days.
