This episode was great! I really liked the part when Yumeria and Mitsuki were cosplaying :). Who was that guy at the cosplay base who who lip synching what Yumeria was saying? Oh yeah, the part when Malshiina put that girls face in her boobies was just adorable :lol:

The line between delusion and reality has been completely blurred. So in a way, the AkibaRangers have become more official than any other sentai in history!!

If they ever had a real giant robo fight, hundreds of people would die :mrgreen:

Best episode by far. Malishina entering the cafe totally felt wrong. Magiblue cosplay should of used the Ryuugekiken. It's a bigger sword. At first, I was wondering if they where gonna get stuck in the delusion world. Cause they hit their changers. But they went into a totally different direction. I wonder. Since the Akibrangers physically altered a real world sign. Could that mean the toys in the cafe would function as the real things. It be a lol moment if Mandoraboy was brought to life. The Akibarangers using the small weapon toys as real stuff. Even all toy changers would work.

At 2:02 and 2:21 in particular, they've spliced together two takes. You can easily tell because the positions and facial expressions of the actors jump. Or for that matter the henshin sequence, where they didn't even try to make the music line up by just awkwardly repeated the last few seconds of it a few times.

Sir i don't know on your POV, but to my understanding, that was intentional. I might be wrong though but i most probably seen the same with a certain KR Series. Can't remember which series though. (Or maybe there's something wrong with the RAW when TVN crew got it, or Something happened to the person who's processing the RAW, or because someone wants it that way, or maybe because the producer of the show said so, or ummm... etc. etc.)

Oh, I don't think that's lazy editing. The first one is probably just an alternate angle. And looping the transformation BGM is fine. If they were purposefully trying to make the editing bad, I think it'd be more obvious than that. I'm actually kind of impressed that they capture whatever Yumeria's cosplay is that week instead of using stock footage.

Humm, I don't believe that's so. It wasn't the camera that moved, it was Hakase's head that moved (and only the head). So it wasn't them trying to grab a different angle.

So it's just bad editing then. That's what I figured.

It seems that ... *shades on* Shit just got real.

Very nice episode, I wonder what's the plot behind Malshiina's actions though. And that call from the Toei producer, I hope they don't get sued over usage of Sentai trademarks or anything xD.


P.S - Should I feel guilty that this show has me wayyyy more excited than all of GoBusters combined to date? :|

Isn't it sad when the parody has better mecha fights than the actual show?(kidding, xD)
Nice to see the mecha again. I'm gonna say the battles in the real world are gonna be a deconstruction, with people getting hurt and stuff.

No? It only looks weird because real people don't move like an anime, which is what that jumpcut is. A one-frame movement, to show her sudden shift from "oh, I see" to "who's that?".

Same with the spittake a few seconds later. It's an animeism.

IIRC, that was Keiichi Sato. He was the one who did the designs for Z-Cune Aoi.

But yeah, this episode was great. The ending of the previous had me questioning what Malshiina was going to do. She does seem smart, cunning even.

Spoiler
She fooled the Akibarangers into going into the delusion easily enough. Technically, she also did kidnap the Akibarangers mentor/boss with ease. She even made it to where she also helped the Akbiarangers by giving them knowledge on how to beat the monster of the day. All seemingly to test a theory of hers.


In other words, as said before, shit just got real.

Spoiler
I think what's going on is that Hakase's dad worked for Toei.

He designed Mashina and the MMZ-01 while working for them, but shelved those designs for whatever reason, keeping the copies that were in the safe and leaving copies at Toei. Malshiina's attack on the real world generated some buzz (as we saw from Akagi's phone), and somebody took pictures of the Akibaranger (holding their MMZ-01's) and Malshiina with their phone.

Those pictures made their way back to Toei, and now they know want to know what's going on. They're either concerned for the same reason that Hakase's dad shelved the designs (as we've seen, there's some sort of dangerous power at work here)... or they're about to sue her skirt off for using their copyrighted material. :lol:


Just a a theory.


Also, was that football uniform that one of the footies was wearing one of the ones from Fourze? It sure looked like it.

I love how they do little stuff in the background when somebody else is talking or doing something important. Like, the play-fighting in the last episode, and the thing with the creepy mannequin head in this one.

I still think the Toei call was that they are interested in their promo in public. And just want to buy the design off them.
