Well, except for the aforementioned Giant Robo (aka Johnny Sokko and His Flying Robot) a decade before that strange devil-Spidey show, and considering its popularity, could be seen as an influence for giant, live-action robots to come.
I can accept that. To reword myself then, Spidey really did influence Power Rangers/Sentai because (at the time) they were produced by the joint Toei/Marvel partnership, and Sentai itself became a large influence on live-action Japanese superhero shows in general. Seeing as how Sentai is 40 years old and counting and Power Rangers is coming up on 22 years, Spidey's influence on the show is pretty monumental.
