Akiba Tsuu 08 released

Post by takenoko »

Wiki: http://wiki.tvnihon.com/wiki/AkibaRanger_2_Episode_08

Before I get to say this, I really enjoy Luna as a dumb character. Her non-sequitors are really great. I just love it when she says her name for no reason, whether it's some act of self-promotion, done out of ego, or just the only thing she can say (like she's a Pokemon)

I'm really wondering about the story about the guy in the hospital bed. He turned on Boukenger? Hmmm...

I think you posted this ahead of the release. There's only at 1080 Garo episode 8 released, but not Akibaranger 8 (or 7 for that matter)

I had a nerd attack when Okamoto Yoshinori shows up and Yuuko mistaken as Okamoto Jirou. And then I have a major nerd attack when Takaiwa Seiji shows his face

And LOL at Yuuko trying to put hand cuffs on Takaiwa-san!

I like how they explain that for the actors playing the bad guys, one of the things they need to consider is how to die beautifully when beaten by the heroes

I also like they keep referring to the previous episode's ending songs

The ED of the episode describes the very pain... the cold stares... ouch!

Oh man I love this episode. Stuff with suit actors is always awesome. The "beautiful death" really struck a chord with me cause so many times recently you see someone ham up the death too much but for toku it's always just boom bam, beauty! Amazing.

Seiji Takaiwa!!!!!!!!!!!!! Let me have your babies!!!

Oh god that ending song is my life. Every single time I go to the movies, it's a ticket for one and I'm with all the kids and their parents. T_T Even if it's painful, I will still keep going!

It's just funny that Tsuu popups near Malshiina's crotch. I'm surprised there wasn't a real world alternation this time. Luna was just loving being the center of attention until the others got really annoyed by the wait. Silly Luna, how do you expect Yuuko to use three guns when she only has two hands.

Should Takaiwa Seiji be as big of a deal in the AkibaRan-verse since Kamen Rider doesn't seem to exist?
Without it it would seem like Seiji retired from suit acting for a couple year and then came back once for Magiranger.

Anyway, always nice seeing the suit actors get the spotlight. The unsung heroes of Toku.

The strategy for the win this time was just EPIC. Some of my favorite episodes in toku have been the ones where a commander and one of the members end their rivalry.

Remember that time in Gokaiger when Joe used 5 Gokai Sabers? I think she thought Yuuko would've done the same thing.

I liked the other combined weapon better.

Its a nice episode. The suit actor thing paralleled nicely with the one from last season.

Oh man, I was hoping the Gekirangers were going to show up, but it looks like there won't be any more outrageous powers. Still a pretty good ep. Poor Malshiina.

I find Luna kind of bland. The character's nice, but the actress is just kind of... there. It's weird. Her enthusiasm feels forced, I suppose. She's not too bad in the delusion world, so maybe it's just her body language or something.

Tsuu Shogun's face was crushed as the sunset went up, that poor bastard. He thinks he's got it all figured out but he's trying to walk up the down escalator on this stuff.

Maybe. Guess they just want to emphasize the main rule in Akiba's world that Sentai is the greatest show ever. That's why they had Takaiwa-san who seems like an equivalent of Niibori Kazuo in Kamen Rider appeared. Probably they want the viewers reaction such as:

"Dude, that guy is a well-known in Kamen Rider series, and yet you only list his Sentai's works??? Painful!

Otherwise, if the writer just want to give a suit actor cameo without any hidden plot, they could just ask other actors who are not busy right now. Takaiwa is doing Wizard right now.Why not ask Hirofumi Fukuzawa to appear instead?

Oh, I'm dumb. I subbed the Renai Replay Commercial, but left out the most important line

Character voice: Uchida Maaya (Hakase's actress and Aoi's voice actress). I just love Japan's blatant cross promotion of stuff.
