Well, that was pretty cool. More AkibaRanger, whatever the form, can only
be a good thing.

I thought the background image was really distracting, though. Maybe for
the next one we could have a smaller portrait to the left of the of the screen,
with a plain low-contrast background? And then you could put the subtitles
in the middle-right of the screen, rather than the traditional bottom-center.
There's no action to worry about covering up, and it would probably be
easier to read. Just a thought.

A few questions...

1) Where can we send in letters? :D
2) Where is that Youtube Video they talked about with Yellow?
3) How many episodes to usual Sentai Radio shows last?

But my comments on this.

It was awesome. It's cool to see they were good friends behind scenes. It's also funny to see how they were very in synched even when trying not to be.

A! Akagi Noubo Ki! Gross Ba! DON'T BE RIDICULOUS

XD lol

Both are in the wiki link I set up. The first actually being explained on the show itself.

3) How many episodes to usual Sentai Radio shows last?

Average = Length of current radio shows / Number of episodes

Honestly I'm a little disappointed it was mostly silly buggering around and not a lot of actual content. In contrast to the Healing Princess show, this had more futzing around and less show-related stuff.

I liked this. Though I too think every podcast should be a radio drama. Which reminds me, look forward to a love triangle between me, myself, and I in the next chapter of the JTAKRAOSP saga.

Also, the definition of futz was something we had yet to learn.

I wouldn't say I was disappointed since it was still really fun, but yeah, they tend to play around a lot and not much 'real' content. I don't think Wada fully answered the second question, though he did talk about Akagi a bit in the beginning. Here's hoping episode 2 will be a lot better.

Tiger and Bunny THE LIVE?! Ogino Karin as Kaede? Hirata Hiroaki?!! Eitoku as Keith Goodman/SkyHigh?!!! Tominaga Kenji suit acting for Wild Tiger??!!!!! And Ohba Kenji!!! THIS IS TOO AWESOME!!!

I'm surprised by how much I like the music in Sun Vulcan. The opening theme, the insert song "Yume no Tsubasa wo(Wings of Dreams)", and the ending theme, all are really great songs.

I liked how they talked about the actor's background, but I still somewhat felt that this first episode was lackluster. It would be interesting to me if they talked about whether or not the girls grew up with tokusatsu or not in their childhoods.

What I'm thinking is if they change hosts every week then the girls will do the whole three minute introduction the same way Wada did.

I thought the show was pretty fun. I mean, I just genuinly like hearing the Japanese language so I liked it. The girls sounded cute, but Karin refers to herself as Karin. I'm not sure if that's a cultural thing or what.
It was interesting to hear Wada's voice when he isn't spazzing out as AkibaRed.

It's the first show. It takes time to find the right balance. It probably get better over time.

To be honest. I felt like this was total shit, but then I say I give three episodes before I judge, so it has two more chances to get good for me.
Well I guess I'm not a pirate anymore now that img limits exist.

Help I can't help finding every yellow ranger cute

I have to say that I'm surprised by the negative reaction to it. It's a (sorta) unofficial radio show about a show that ended already. What did you expect from it besides it mostly being about the actors just talking about themselves?

Personally, I thought it was pretty interesting, which is why I thought it was worth translating.

I'm curious what you guys thought this would be because it seems like your expectations didn't match at all.

I guess I was hoping it'd be a bit more structured. More talking about the show and their experiences, less talking about what kind of hairstyles they like. Yeah there was a lot of talking about the show, but I couldn't help but feel annoyed whenever they were talking about stuff that didn't really matter.
