Hikonin Sentai Akibaranger - Talk Up!

[FieryRed]

I didn't like it when they went with the TV show route...I wish they stuck with the otakus becoming "real" Sentai thing. To me the powerful scene of Nobuo becoming a "real" Sentai for the first time felt meaningless after they went with the unexpected route. I have other things I want to say but I can't put them into words. :sweat:

I see Akibaranger has not just doing homage to the past sentai series (with Akagi being a huge sentai otaku), but it is also a commentary on the franchise as a whole. That's why they broke the 4th Wall, because it allows Akagi to give a critique to Super Sentai and how it is not just formulaic, but also controls by the producer creatively. I think they had this thing planned out from the first episode, and I think it is great for Toei to actually do a introspection on one of their most successful franchises and has a character looking at it critically.

Like how the final lyrics of Machine Itassha are "Unofficial Fusion...Complete!"...I have to say..."Unofficial Sentai...Complete."

The manliest of men...Akagi Nobuo.Best red ever.

They need to break through and find the sentai movie world

Even if they appear in the go-busters movie to save them

I just noticed wikipedia has added a section to the Akibaranger page for "Unofficial Sentai Akibaranger Official Web Radio". Anybody know anything about this?

Hinami Kyouko seems to have done a lot of modeling work though, considering how she is best friends and the same agency as Nishiuchi Mariya, who is...yeah.

Akibaranger radio show announced

I hope someone will sub this radio show. I still much rather have a second season for Akibaranger, but I guess this is better than nothing.

Despite being labeled a parody...the show didn't feel like it. Mockumentary probably, The show felt like watching a Hyper Battle Video or something.:sweat:

In term of Hot Blooded Reds...where does he rank?

I'm glad they made the article AFTER the series ended. How else would I learn about something. And I never get made at people calling Sentai Power Rangers...but these guys changed that..

It follows three otaku (geeks)

IT'S IN YOUR NAME FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!!!
