Just watched the first episode of Red Ranger Becomes and Adventurer in Another World, it rules so far. I love all the Sentai tropes it plays with and how they fit into a medieval fantasy type of setting. This show is gonna be fun.

Red Ranger isekai anime is finally here. I'll admit that I I found the manga far funnier, but I'm willing to give the anime a chance.

I seriously hope they do an April Fool's spoof this year of this show where the voice cast of the Kizuna Five cosplay as their characters. It would be a waste if they don't.

I looked. Well, it was interesting and funny, although some of the jokes seemed too forced to me. And one-sided, because it’s not like fantasy doesn’t have plenty of its own absurdity, which is also worth noting. Perhaps the main minus for me: missing the first six months spent by the hero in the new world. After all, this is the most interesting thing. And the comments from a peasant/simple swordsman sounded more natural than from a sorceress. That is, a complaint from a sorceress about strange gestures and screams, when literally a couple of minutes later she uses a spell in a similar way - this is the same attraction. But the joke that the Rangers' weapons look like toys seems quite natural. 3D looked very constrained. Plus, to my personal misfortune, I watched it in dubbing, where the studio, in order to be the first, left at least half of the episode without translation. The pieces are also mixed together, especially so that they are unnoticeable when rewinding. I will never choose this voiceover again.
But these are all just nitpicks, and the overall impression is positive. I'll keep looking. ![]() |

I had a similar thought at first, but I've decided that I think it's for the best that they skipped it. One strength of this anime, for me, is how it inverts the standard isekai "fish out of water" trope by having the main character react to the fantasy world around them. In this case, the fantasy world reacts to the absurdity of the tokusatsu tropes presented by the main character, and that wouldn't have been possible had they shown him exploring the new world.

Perhaps, but you can combine both. The episode had a good example of this in the case of the Burnt Trophies, which laughs at the unrealistic elements of both fantasy and tokusatsu alike.

I tried the manga, dropped it as soon as I realized its generic isekai trash.
Toku hero in a real fantasy world would’ve been cool, not the same old videogame-world nonsense. Power levels for characters, EXP-points are a thing and monsters drop items – wow, so original, we haven’t had that a billion times already. Sad times when even Toku-inspired anime sinks that low. |

Yeah I mean I hope they parody both, and I expect they'll expand upon the world as the series goes on. But I do think that this was a good place to start.
