Lupinranger vs Patranger series thoughts(Before the last episode)

Overall I have to say it's been an interesting season. I have to say I love the idea of two sentai teams knocking lumps out of each other. It's not the best series I've seen, I have however enjoyed it and with the episode 50 burned into my brain has made me realise I will be sad to see it end. I also have to admit there have been a couple of moments that have gained a strong reaction from me weather it was anger at Noel being framed or seeing the flashbacks to the Lupinrangers' loved ones. I do like a lot of the characters like Noel, Touma, Commander Hilltop and Tsukasa(With Commander Hilltop being my favourite. For some reason I thought he was going to be the one to say "F*** this. Lupinrangers did nothing wrong....we'll just say we can't catch them and focus on the ganglers!"). I also enjoyed some of the villains, the boss could not care less about but his right hand was defiantly entertaining and old ice gun is hard not to like. Overall with the season finale likely to end in a fairly predictable way I decided to include this little review...more out of boredom than actual critical thinking(Also wanted to clarify that despite the season coming to an end...I won't be stopping the fanfiction, yes I know stupid aren't I but the next series really doesn't look worthwhile. I have decided that once I choose which angle to go with, I'm debating weather or not to use opening 1,2 or 3 for chapter 4). So overall score for the season....7.5 out of 10. I'm just not certain it deserves a full 8 but I still really enjoyed it.
