AkibaRanger 10 released

Post by takenoko »

What a plot dump. Since they've been dropping hints throughout the series, I guess none of this is too surprising. The only big surprise is the parallel world full of particles that make people's imaginations come true.

So the plot is to destroy Hakase's voice so she can't portray Aoi anymore? Not sure what to make of Hakse's brother from America. It kind of seems like they'd be more wary of phone calls now that they know Malshiina can imitate other people's voices.

Who's hairstyle do you recommend, Akagi?

Yumeria's cosplay in this episode was very adorable.

When I first saw the guy on the motorcycle, I was like "OMG it's Retsu!". Then I realized it was his actor's, Takagi Manpei's, twin brother. I would totally laugh if that was what Akagi was referencing to when Kozukozu was showing him the picture.

Anyone else laughed when Mitsuki knocked Akagi over when she did her role call? XD

Also, it was pretty funny watching "Retsu" look for the scorpion on Hakase's chest. The others were like "What the hell are you doing?"

Also, there's a ZyuRanger reference with the candles. I won't say what it is for obvious reasons :P

Watching Kozukozu saying her name in English was pretty cute. INCREDIBLE!

Yeah, I'm thinking the call from the Pentagon is Malshiima as well. It seems way too convenient for Hasake's brother to show up and become the new AkibaRed.

Yumeria's rollcall about the recent anime with the girl being a gun is referring to Upotte. It's about a school where the girls are actually anthropomorphised versions of real world guns. In my opinion, you will want to bang your head on something hard after the first episode.

I read there's going to be a special 13th episode. I'm happy for that

The post that people showed me of it makes me doubt that there will be one. It's written rather jovially, so it might just be a joke. I'm still going to go by what Amazon says which is that there's only 12 episodes:

What a plot dump indeed. It's only going to get more insane from here on out when Malshiina makes her blindly obvious heel face turn.

So Hakase is cursed and will loose her voice. The way she got the curse was pretty strange though. The moesomething particles shouldn't work like that and that's the only thing that explains the abnormalities in the show.

LOL @ Nobu getting hit by Mitsuki's roll call.

Delu-knight has Sanji and Kotetus's voice. And his attack is similat to Barizorg's.

What was that attack with Yuko upside down?

I thought it was Retsu, but Takuma is played by Retsu's actor twin. His clothes might be a reference to Terui's. And riding a bike with a trumpet? KR Ibuki reference.

The girls reaction to him was funny, even though that was a bit cheesy. And LOL @ the pentagon wanting to hire Nobu. Shouldn't they call his phone or his job's phone? Pretty silly if you ask me. They could've used the JSDF or somethign. Takuma being from Interpol is also kinda lame. And they wouldn't send just one guy. I know the show isn't supposed to be realistic, but they could at least try to make the parts in the real world more convincing

I wonder what will happen to MaruCna, since she probably feels her papa doesn't like her anymore.

Anyway, Takuma is either a villain or he won't get the victory flags.

And Dr. Z really destroyed the moe anime fans.

乙 is the "otsu" of Sutema Otsu.

Obviously a trap. I think that the new guy (with his crap Kikada impersonation) is the Delu Knight, especially with being the son of the bad guy, but I imagine that we'll find that out if we see them fighting next time.

Also, I liked how they pretty much said 'we have enough badguys for a full season' and Dr Z is all like "we only have a few episodes left, fire them all". Amazing.

Just to add, it's actually Japanese Internet slang. Otsu is short for Otsukaresama (御疲れ様) which means "good work" basically. Eventually people on the forums abbreviated it to Otsu, which happens to be the same sound as the kanji for the O (乙) in Otome (乙女).

Two MORE Dairanger references!

Oh, silly Dr. Z, don't you know that if you fire them with no reason, you'll have to give them their last pay with a plus? :lol:

I'm actually surprised that the brother never made any Power Ranger references.
