Akibaranger Season 2 Episode 3 "Martial Arts Delusions" Discussion!
 

Just watched the RAW. Gotta say, loving season 2 so far!

Especially how they got RyuRanger and KibaRanger back to normal. And the fanservice of Malshina, my god. Not that I'm complaining. :lol

I can definitely see more Sentais being pushed off into being unofficial and Akibaranger having to make them official again. And loved seeing Dairangers' Penultimate/Inordinate Power. Literal hand-cannons for the win! :rock

I see a new or bigger Penultimate/Inordinate Cannon coming.

Man that re-enactment of the Dairanger Opening has got to be the best thing ever! That was awesome! Plus the Ryu Ranger vs Jin Matoba and the nurse/love interest was great too. This was a great episode. And is it just me or does Malshina like to flash her subordinates? And they don't seem to like it. You'd think Kiba Ranger would like that kind of thing since he was a pervy kid.

So good so good! That raw rocked! Love that they're using different covers of end themes from different shows each episode. RyuRanger and KibaRanger kicked lots of ass once they got their personalities back and dat hand cannon :lol

Will have better thoughts once there're subs. But right now? Blown away and impressed with how awesome the show is this season.

Akibaranger getting stronger and stronger every season...
So I assume japanese version of the S.H.Figuarts may come with additional weapons and option parts for the official rangers?

Luna might be General Tsuu's "daughter"!?

Shima Daisuke (Red Falcon) quitting show biz.

Good stuff again, using Kibaranger as a 'would of been' extra for Akibaranger was brilliant.

And dat show opening re-enactment was hilarious, along with AkibaRed high-fiving the cannon hands =p whilst I find the hands a little odd looking, I'm hoping it means they either make a robot or perhaps the fourth member of Akibaranger?

That was a really fun episode. I'd already seen the Dairanger opening re-enactment, but it's still hilarious. The Jin episode redo was great, too. I'm really glad I'd already seen Dairanger before watching this, though, as it added a lot to my overall enjoyment. I'm really liking the new villain, too. He seems like an evil version of Nobuo.

I'm still trying to get used to the new ever-changing status quo,but it isn't keeping me from enjoying the show.The Dairanger opening and episode reenactments were amazing,never seen Dairanger so I had to watch the actual opening to compare and YUP lots of bike riding in there.

I'm trying to let Luna grow on me,but she kinda isn't.I know,only 3 episodes in so I really wanna see her do something that makes me like her more.I feel like I should be liking her already,but something isn't clicking.I don't want to compare her to Mitsuki,but she really needs to do something on par with summoning BoukenRed.I just want her to be something more than just the replacement.

Man oh man. I loved this raw and it's equally as awesome subbed :D

Akiba continues to exceed my expectations. General Two's plan is brilliant. I'm even beginning to think that he IS Hate Saburo or rather he's Saburos' sort of avatar in the Akibaranger universe. Luna's flippant personality is really fun, and I'm liking how much more involved the tribute to official shows are. 2 whole episodes for Dairanger is awesome. Can't wait for episode 5 when the "Power Rangers" show up and Nobuo has to deal with a reality where Power Rangers came first and Sentai second :lol

This episode rocked. Rocked so hard. You guys, seriously, it was so good.

Is that what's really happening? If so that's hilarious.

Yes it is :D

Thats why the Zyuranger figuarts on display a few weeks back had US flags on them. Ive seen set photos of the suits with those flags added too. General Two rewrites history so Power Rangers came first and Sentai was the adaptation.

So then Power Rangers started with "Goranger" and Super Sentai started with "Mighty Morphin'"? This will be interesting.

I didn't catch that. If so....freaking hysterical. Also, the fact that Akiba was considered the worst sentai of all time was pretty damn funny as well.

You haven't caught it because it doesn't happen til episode 5 :p

That's when General Two screws with history again.

Well that's not fair, you knowing the future an all! :P

Shame on you, KamenRiderOOO. You didn't make the obvious Nossan joke.

Fear not, my friends! I will not fail you!

"WHAT?! Akibaranger must fight a Kibaranger!"

Season 2 of Akibaranger is so far off to a great start. I love how they reinacted Dairanger's opening:lol

:D

AWESOME AWESOME!!!!!!

I cannot wait to see what they do with the ZyuRangers in episode 4.

Another fantastic episode, the main highlight being that glorious Dairanger opening reneactment :D

Yeah, that was probably my favorite part next to just getting to see both Ryuu and Kiba kick ass. I also loved the scene when Malshina tried to explain how she came back.

That finisher should've been a Kamehameha :lol

Is a giant cannon with hands shooting energy blasts not close enough? :lol

Did Kibaranger just beat them with a music dimension? Also, is Malsheena now a member of the Deboss or something? Season 2 is gonna be good!

Hopefully they will keep the retcon and never bring up the Hate Saburo thing again. I hated how the first season ended, I thought it really lost the point and went downhill. I am loving Season 2, I really hope they don't screw it up again by bringing back the whole self-awareness joke.

But the whole self awareness thing was easily what made that show so great. It added another layer of enjoyment to the show. I wan them to bring that back and right now it looks like Hate Saburo is manipulating General Two into making the show official so that the Akibarangers don't become self aware again.

I truly disagree. I loved the show so much up until then and I just didn't like it at all. Was a huge disappointment and I am praying they don't bring it back ever again. It made everything before it seem pointless and lame. I don't think it really looks like that at all, though, it could easily be taken in a different (and much better) direction from here and they havent left any hints of self-awareness again.

I'm with Den-O on how the self aware issue was great. Everyone fighting the giant Japanese the end font was classic.

Episode 3 reminded me how awe the Diaranger roll call is.
