Hikari Sentai Maskman/YMMV


 * Big Lipped Alligator Moment: The opening credits features a naked body-builder flexing, summoning energy and blasting a block... which explodes to reveal the five members of the team. The hell?
 * Complete Monster: Emperor Zeba
 * Crowning Music of Awesome: The opening music is very awesome. Thank you, Hironobu Kageyama!
 * What about the ending theme. Again, thank you, Hironobu Kageyama
 * Even the Filipino version is epic.
 * Fan-Preferred Couple: There's a lot of fans who'd rather Takeru end up with Momoko eventually. Also an example of Ships That Pass in the Night since Takeru and Momoko don't get a focus episode together or even talk to each other very much.
 * Takeru/Haruka is also a popular pair, and might have more support in a way that Haruka was once a recipient of Takeru's Get a Hold of Yourself, Man!.
 * Germans Love David Hasselhoff: While this Sentai is pretty much fine in Japan, it's really, really popular in the Philippines. Generally the contender for most memorable Sentai is either this or Choudenshi Bioman.
 * Amusingly, Takeru's actor married a Filipino woman.
 * Hilarious in Hindsight: X-1 Mask's design differs greatly from the existing Maskman design scheme - while he might not pass for one of them, he'd make a passable Battle Ireland.
 * The Untwist:
 * To a lesser extent that Takeru's girlfriend is really the princess of Tube, which we find out early in but the Maskmen themselves are ignorant of for most of the show.
 * Values Dissonance: The male Maskmen jokingly impersonate criminals to get the female members to strip. That strikes a modern viewer as rather creepy.
