Besides the voice dub being off on Nobuo in the beginning, when he hands over the MMZ to Takuma, you can see a line between the screen. Like two different filters where used. Just look at MMZ and the mecha prop in the back at the middle. The color is off. I've heard some compare it to Power Rangers' "peace conference" situation. They don't show Nobou's face save when he's by himself, handshake looks weird, the dub is slightly off at the beginning, and finally the aforementioned hand off of the MMZ.



EDIT: Oh, and way to go Nobou for stealing second base.
Glad I wasn't the only one that noticed that.

4th Wall: OBLITERATED!!!!

This show is getting really good and goofy. Stopping the text mid-scroll? Awesome!
Nobu get's to grab a tit and not get slapped for it? Interesting.
What does ShinGiTai mean? I wasn't paying attention.

I'm surprised Kozkoz doesn't yell "Didn't I tell you, he's somehow related to Retsu/GekiBlue!!!" kind of a reference to last episode.

Wow Defence Corp, thou art a heartless b!tch. You arrived seconds after Nobuo decided not to go and just ripped off your letter AND you tried to shoot him? not a good decision there.

One thing's been bothering me is at the start of the show, they showed Sanbei Ryuuji as Sanbei Ryuuji, not Ban/DekaRed. But they showed Retsu's twin brother as Takuma, and not as Retsu's twin? Mindblowing twisted turn.

A Gekiranger reference. 'Shin' is heart, 'Gi' is 'technique', and 'Tai' is 'Body'.

I'm pretty sure DeluKnight's Delusion Mirage is referencing VulEagle's Hiba Gaeshi. First Gokaiger and now Akibaranger? The amount of love given to it, apparently Japan really loved SunVulcan.

Excitedly waiting for the final episode!

meh, i think it's tied with animal man
Spoiler
it has the writer appearing and telling animal man he is a comic book character


anyway. i think there was a hint of a romance between Nobuo and Malshiina...but considering this show, it is probably the producer's doing.
Man, this feel like a big take that for the Hibiki thing.
Nobuo has become the ultimate genre savvy.

this show is sooo gonna get cancelled...

My thoughts exactly. They have really put their hearts and souls into making this the most ridiculous (yet loving) parody possible. Sometimes the best thing to do with the 4th was is to drive a wrecking ball through it...

there is noticing the fourth wall
there is leaning on the fourth wall
there is breaking the fourth wall

then there is taking the fourth wall to a nice little diner and then crushing it with a giant boulder , punching it so hard it gets launched into space , where it gets sucked into a massive black hole until it finally implodes into nothingness

and then akibaranger took it one step further

And with that from this point on anybody who puts SQUADRON or any other name for Sentai in their Title is 150% full on RETARD.

Actually, I think that there is a mistranslation of Akagi's line. If I'm not mistaken, it should be something along the lines of: "You mean we're already at a point where it's fine to ignore the little details!". Can someone double check?

And that, is how to officially translate a Sentai show's title. Just like how TV-N does it! :wink:

It kind of fits with Nobou realizing they're in a TV show.
Wow, so even those were intentional! Now that's cool! :)

That blows your mind? Try watching The Nanny.
Spoiler
The penultimate episode had Fran Fine, the show's main character, meet Fran Drescher, the actress who played her, and they had a meta conversation full of in-jokes.
Your head would EXPLODE.

And glad to see I'm not the only one who thought back to Hibiki with the whole Shakeup nonsense.

Show of hands, is anyone genuinely surprised that Malshiina's defecting?

I'd say that's probably more a giant coincidence than a PR reference, if anything. (Also, I dunno about anyone else but, I never noticed any dubbing being off. >:?)

I wrote up a defense for my phrasing, but I thought about it a bit, and I think you're right. I probably would have written it this way though:

"So he's ignoring the little details now?!" Then that'd lead into the next line more smoothly now since he starts talking about the guy running things.

But I dunno. Akagi could just be saying that things are too dire to be worried about little details like that, hence leading to my interpretation of the line. It's hard to say, but the line should directly lead into the next line.

This episode was so fun. just one question: are we sure it's Heart Tiger? sounded like he said "surge jaguar" to me, to make a small joke reference to him being the brother of gekiblue, but i could've been wrong.

I can't wait to see how it all ends.

In an odd way, the show is going towards the characters (delusions) breaking out of their world and into reality... and their world is about delusions breaking into their reality.. I'm anticipating them somehow smashing through the fourth wall and into the "real world" now haha. That would be total deluception.
