Clip show is clip show. I kind of like the twist at the end. It's a fitting end to AkibaRangers.

I like that they drop little hints during the episode for the twist at the end, like the three of them can't eat the cakes and Hakase repeating what Luna just said like she didn't hear it

Yes, AkibarRangers, join the realm of dead Sentai members, and revive once more when the world needs you!

(Or I guess they kill them off so they don't need to make season 3)

I was laughing my ass off at the reference to GokaiSilver. Only fitting they mention Sentai's most rabid fanboy in the series about rabid Sentai fanboys.

Way to play for a series 3 there guys XP

Oh yeah, I totally forgot to mention that reference to GokaiSilver

This is the first thing that came to mind when I heard that line

Thanks you all for the hard work!
I hope I can watch all the 13 episodes soon. I had no time to watch weekly =[

There are already any news for a new season? Or this is THE END?

If they do make a third season (which would be awesome), we probably won't get an official announcement until early next year. As I recall, it was January of this year when we got official news on season 2.

The AkibaRangers did make history as the first total party Sentai kill ever. It was funny when Hakase is like "Let's completely forget about them and move on."

Honestly I wonder if we won't see an all-new cast if they do make a season 3.

and then the akibarangers come out of nowhere, tie them up, steal their powers, and become the main characters again. there, now we have season 3's plot ready, now we need to trick Hatte Saburo into aproving it xD

LOVED seeing Yellow Four since Bioman was my very first Sentai way back when. All in all, Akibaranger gave me some good laughs although I did feel sad that they really did die despite the "happy" tone of the ending. Still, at least the door is open for season 3!

Well here's to the end of another season of Akibaranger. It was funny, it was painful, and it was glorious. Now bring on season 3!

Since this is a clip show there's not a lot to cover, but I do like the fact that they were able to get some original footage shot for this one, and that it didn't rely on just clips. They totally got me at the end too; I didn't even suspect the Akibarangers were dead until the reveal at the end.

The handful of jokes they did work in ended up working well. The shot at GokaiSilver was a good one, and it was a riot having the dead Sentai members show up to drag the Akibarangers off to... well, wherever it is dead Sentai members go (Hatte's attic?).

Looking at the season in retrospect, there were a few things that I was expecting that we didn't see. Unlike season 1, season 2 did very little with Akihabara. For the most part they were in the delusion world, in the cafe, or in assorted locations. It didn't feel as Akihabara-centric as the first season, despite the name.

I was also a bit surprised they never followed up on Luna's rival. The way that was presented it seemed like it would be a returning thread, but I guess it was just poking fun at the "rival" trope after all.

All in all, it was a good series. Hopefully this isn't the last we see of it. And of course, a big thank you to the TVN staff for subbing this.:)

I've got loads to say, but due the gargling mess that is my fangasm dial turned up to 11, it'll make no sense whatsoever, so instead i'll sum up the episode in a picture.
