I would even forgive this if the scriptwriters didn't create such formulaic and nondescript fantasy worlds. That is, this is the most interesting thing in ?fish out of water? stories: getting to know a new, unusual world and interacting with it. So that the hero, and with him the viewer/reader, would be surprised and never know what awaits them next. And standardization completely destroys all this. In essence, such issekai are the fantasy equivalent of the ?killer butler?.

The idea of plopping a Toku hero in a fantasy setting is appealing, but man, why did it have to be the most basic and boring MMO roleplay isekai trash world. Why does it operate on videogame logic. Why are there item drops, quests, visible stats like HP or wisdom, and dungeons? It's so dumb. If they had put in some thought and created an original fantasy land for the hero to explore it could've been great. As it stands this story is held back by the very tropes it tries to make fun of. Also, the jokes aren't even particularly good. If you have seen one single Toku parody in your life nothing in this will make you laugh. |

This is the main problem I have with this particular manga / anime by the way.

Finally... Quality Isekai...
![]() I know Isekais are all cut from the same cloth and nothing special, but I'm not going to complain about this basically being junk food. Heck, one could argue Tokusatsu fits into that category, and I personally don't care. I've read some of this Manga and had fun with it, so at the very least seeing a (rather neat design) Sentai Ranger run around a Cut-and-Paste Fantasy World with a toyetic arsenal is enough for me to have a good time. It's not going to be Sentai Daishikkaku or Ai Wo Sekai Seifuku No Ato De, and I honestly don't expect it to be.

Well, I could argue with this statement myself, but it?s better to just link to a video where it is explained better: In any case, in every popular and not so popular genre you have to look for diamonds among costume jewelry and garbage. If only there was a desire to search. |

In a way my thoughts remind me of how my own critiques on Isekai can be used on me as a Shounen Enjoyer, or when people look at Tokusatsu and immediately go "Eww, Power Rangers."

While I'm not one for Isekai anime, I'm probably going to take a look at this one.
I still need to take a gander at Love After World Domination cause that looks cute. But compared to what I saw getting pushed heavily a while back, Ranger Reject, this feels like it has the actual aesthetic and characteristics of a Sentai from what little I've read and seen. Seriously though, the person behind the manga is a Toku Nerd through and through based on what bits I see posted on Twitter and I think that alone will get me to watch/read this anime/manga. |

It's been revealed that the show is getting dubbed, and I really hope that they go the extra mile and have the main character be voiced by one of the real life Red Rangers.
