Watched Hikonin Sentai Akibaranger. Maybe a bit late, but I wanted to get to know most of the original before I started parodying it. Well, I should point out that the show isn't nearly as much of a cringe and meta-commentary show as the internet tends to think. Well, it's all there, but I wouldn't say that's the point. In fact, Akibarenger is one of those rare cases where the jokes taken out of context are funnier than the show itself. It's also worth noting that the first season and "Tsuu" are very different from each other in tone and structure. They are so different that I even have a hard time naming which is better. Based on my feelings, I liked the first one more, but at the same time, "Tsuu" entertained me more.
The first one focused much more on the characters, which made the audience really love them. The episode with Yumeria's mom is really great in this regard. But the ending is extremely crumpled, even despite the attempt to explain that it was supposed to be that way. In the second one, the focus has clearly shifted from the characters to the action. Only Yumeria has any development.
Only Yumeria has any development. Blue was replaced and Luna doesn't get episodes focused on her. And Nobuo, in my opinion, has degraded between seasons. Also, the fan service, which was presented as a joke in the first one, is now used more obviously and the show takes full advantage of the fact that it is designed for a more mature audience. But with this, I can't deny that "Tsuu" is much funnier and more active. And the alternating endings from different Super Sentai are a great find.
To sum it up, this is definitely a show worth watching, but only if you're a Super Sentai fan. At the very least, I wouldn't recommend trying Akibaranger without first watching Jetman, Zyuranger, Dairanger, Hurricanger, Dekaranger and Boukenger.
P.S. Also, I think the PR portrayal in this show might upset some people.
