Mahou Sentai Magiranger/YMMV


 * Anvilicious: This is not a show that believes in subtlety.
 * Awesome Music: Some of the more notable vocal songs created for the series.
 * Madou Kishi Wolzard performed by NoB.
 * Shining Magic Magishine performed by Psychic Lover.
 * Mahou Sentai Magiranger Opening performed by Iwasaki Takafumi.
 * Make Legend! Magiranger! performed by Mizuki Ichirou.
 * Go! Yellow Thunder performed by Matsumoto Hiroya, Tsubasa's actor and used for his victory over the Hades God Cyclops.
 * Fantastic! MagiAction performed by Takatori Hideaki.
 * Song For Magitopia performed by Mizuki Ichirou, Kushida Akira, and Kageyama Hironobu.
 * Majin Gattai! MagiKing! performed by Masaki Endoh.
 * Big Lipped Alligator Moment: The confrontation with the Monster of the Week in stage 14 takes place in an old west style setting.
 * Complete Monster: Hades God Cyclops deliberately strings the Magirangers on solely to psychologically torment them with the futility of their situation. N.Ma also fit this in spades.
 * Crazy Awesome: Many of the spells take on unusual forms, yet are devastating in no small part because of this.
 * Ear Worm: Go Fight! Magi Magi Magiranger! Shinjite Future. OK! All right!Yuuki wokono te ni...Tabidatte!
 * Magi! Magi Magiro! Magi! Magi Magika! The high voice doesn't help either.
 * Evil Is Sexy: Vancuria, Queen Vampire, can split into Twin Loli Goths.
 * Family-Unfriendly Aesop: As with Choujin Sentai Jetman before, our heroes see no problem with cheating at games of chance to rescue those most important to them.
 * Fan Nickname: MagiShine? Surely you mean MagiPimp.
 * Faux Symbolism: Memmy/Raigel is basically Lucifer, while Hikaru/MagiShine/Sungel is basically the Arch Angel Michael.
 * Foe Yay: Houka with both Nai and Mea.
 * Germans Love David Hasselhoff: While it was successful in Japan, Magiranger was so popular in Korea, they're making an MMO game based on the series. IN 2011.
 * Growing the Beard: The show definitely comes into its own with the introduction of the Heavenly Saint Lunagel in stage 16.
 * Hilarious in Hindsight: In stage 22, the Magirangers end up in a Jidai Geki themed Marudeyona World and are forced to dress and fight like ninjas. The core cast would later appear in Chou Ninja Tai Inazuma, a Super Sentai parody set in the Jidai Geki period with our heroes being magically empowered ninjas.
 * Nic Sampson, the actor who played Tsubasa's Power Rangers counterpart Chip, went on to play the Sentinel Knight, gold-armored Zuban's counterpart, in the following season.
 * Holy Shit Quotient: Stage 42 explodes past all limits with WolKentauros vs. Hades God Sleipnir on his chariot, complete with nod to Ben-Hur!
 * Like You Would Really Do It:
 * Magnificent Bastard: Both Meemy and Dagon pull off some very cunning plans through expert manipulation of both the heroes and the other villains.
 * Memetic Sex God: Hikaru can and will seduce your Love Interest from you, right in front of you, with a simple flick of his hair.
 * Narm: In-universe example; in flashback it is revealed that Kai was mauled by a bear that had escaped from the zoo while Tsubasa was out hanging with his friends, and when he finds out, his first response is to laugh at the absurdity of it all. Makito did not think this was funny. At all.
 * Nightmare Fuel: Belbireji the Incubis uses this both as his primary powerset, and is generally very creepy.
 * Oh, and then there's the fashion in which N Ma emerges from Titan's body...
 * Rewatch Bonus: Watching again for all the foreshadowing regarding is practically a must.
 * I Knew It!:
 * Special Effect Failure: The premier of Travelion's Destruction Fire Reverse Spray is decidedly underwhelming.
 * Visual Effects of Awesome: In Stage 9, FireKaiser's Flaming Bari Javelin is actually on fire, and not just for Stock Footage!
 * What Do You Mean It's for Kids?: For a series revolving around a heartwarming "Family" theme, MagiRanger can be pretty dark when it comes to human casualities; victims are killed off in ways as Nightmare Fuel-ish as possible, and after they die, they stay dead.
 * The Woobie: Tsubasa.
