Akibaranger - The Official Unofficial Sentai [10 Year Retrospective]

[@XerxesTexasToast]

The otaku-est of the team roughly having the catchphrase "cringe is power" is SUCH a power move.

[@sethyeates7832]

One could call it a "cringe" move/j

[@Magicboy06]

Lets be honest cringe is a powerfull emotion

[@erikbihari3625]

@@Magicboy06. Reminds me of joker's song"smile DArn ya Smile"$ lyrics:-"don't listen to the dullards saying"Life Is A Bore"those fuddy duddies spoil my fun, that's why I strive to eradicate gloom, it's from that itch, I made the switch, and choose my narm to bloom"!

[@erikbihari3625]

@@sethyeates7832. Indeed!

[@fangjokerLS]

Akibaranger is definitely treasure. "We'll never be forgotten, because nerds never forget anything" may be the most realistic thing ever said in a toku show.

[@justinmontana3710]

I think one of the funniest parts of Akibaranger is that it, like a lot of Tokusatsu, was also made to sell toys, just adult ones (innuendo intended); Akibaranger, for those who don't know, was made in part to advertise the new Super Sentai S.H. Figuarts line, which is why we got so many Akibaranger releases in that line

[@1eyeddevil929]

Source for the toys

[@kermit6366]

Funny thing that Hakase considering that the actress who played her is the voice actress of Rikka from Chuunibyo literally hired 3 Chuunibyous as a ranger team.

[@pmuean]

The scene where he transformed for the first time in the real world solely with his willpower was incredibly well-executed, and it gave me chills while also bringing tears to my eyes.

[@haydenreviewscustomcombos]

So, their transformation call is literally “grand delusion“ what a weird transformation call for a weird unofficial parody that has recently been recognized by the Mobirates, GearTlinger and Don blaster.

[@nai_nen_meme]

I want a 6th akibaranger (or 4th I guess) that's entirely themed around Genz and memes. seems fitting

[@alphariz]

dont worry they have kiba ranger dudee

[@paul_niron]

I just realize that the Red was Gen X then the Blue and Yellow were Gen Y

[@nai_nen_meme]

@@paul_niron we need to complete the trio

[@kiss-shot_is_bae]

What we need is an Akibarenger that is actually a Kamen Rider fan but is forced to be part of the Sentai team and is basically the embodiment of an annoying fan

[@azeezbashir1734]

@@kiss-shot_is_baeyou just blew my mind and now I’m mad because they never did that, seeing as their was a reference to ultra man. I don’t remember if there was a reference for kamen rider but if they had included a rider fan as the sixth, his suit could look like a rider suit which would be possible because his delusional would be just as grand as the red, so he would customize his suit to look like a riders suit just as any true fan would

[@tulpabubble2453]

This was my first full Sentai watch, genuinely a great starting point, with very charming characters, and plots, id recommend it to anyone with any sort of love for Sentai/ Power Rangers

[@EKsUrbanTracks]

We need a show like this every 5 years, it's time to take parody seriously. A sentai-based show for an older audience to tackle more themes freely, and actually being funny. The Dairanger opening theme remake had me cry from laughter.

[@blackphoenix77]

I love Akibaranger; it was the first Sentai show that I ever watched for a full season; I still need to finish season 2, however. I can't believe that it's been ten years since it came out already!

[@pockylovingranger]

This show is so fucking hysterical not because it pokes fun at Super Sentai, but as it goes on, it pokes fun at the ENTIRE otaku subculture xD

[@Sotau890]

I can see both Akiba Yellow & Onisister have one common they are both artist

[@shaoronmd]

Fujyoshi sisters!

[@yiwoon_cr8s]

Onisister is more like Kid Cosmic's Spirit animal

[@crazygoatanimations3577]

Dr. Zedd might also be a power rangers reference because there was a power rangers villain called Lord Zedd

[@MiXVoy]

And season 2's Barosu W was a joke on Warner Bros

[@SmashBros2009]

Oh man, I miss Akibaranger so much, I wish it got a season 3...:'C

[@pwnd1138]

I love Akibaranger, it's such an amazing show, full of great humor and clever gags. I feel like Akibaranger is a beautiful love letter to Sentai, as well as Sentai fandom and toku in general.

[@ΓΙΑΝΝΗΣΔΑΣΚΑΛΑΚΗΣ-ω9ψ]

I can't wait for the second season review: the Tsu Shogun is my favorite sentai villain PERIOD!

[@tulpabubble2453]

Season 2 is amazing, but I wish AkibaBlue 1 stayed on board.

[@thegreatscribbles960]

and we definitely need a full analyze of the" powerful rangers"

[@srokavodtube]

This was great! I'm not a sentai fan but it was really heartwarming to see all the little references this show had to other sentai shows!

[@cirvac1981]

To note, the villainess Marsheena's name comes from this: © n.a. Basically, copyright not available, or in this case, "mar C" n.a., which gives Marsheena - minding the Japanese pronunciation of C [cee] to C [shee] due to its anglicism. Considering they're unofficial, it's obvious there's no copyright available...🤣🤣🤣

[@parkergreen2704]

Also to note, Marushina's actress was in p*rn. No, really. Look it up.

[@SammEater]

I loved this show, really wanted a season 3.

[@hukesama8389]

Man, I remember watching both seasons as it was airing back. It was mind blowing when we got to the 4th-wall breaking episodes. I don't really watch much sentai (more of a KR guy) yet I still managed to get the inside jokes.

[@haydenreviewscustomcombos]

I really hope that 2023 brings the review of the second season of the unofficially official sentai itself.

[@faosparkNeo]

This following gokaiger almost felt like a companion series...it was like we are living inside the mind of gokai silver. i would say Akibaranger was miles better than gobusters.

[@funkmastaC]

The best parody I have had the pleasure of watching.

[@williamwatson4354]

I've watched a lot of Sentai and this is one of my favorites. Of course it was created by Naruhisa Arakawa; my absolute favorite show runner.

[@Ming1975]

I got fed up of Super Sentai long ago even before Power Rangers, then this came along and I loved it. Too bad there wasn't Bandai model kits of them but there is SH figuarts of them but hard to get, I would have loved to get Akiba Blue.

[@Unclaimed_Username]

It's funny, actually. I got into Kamen Rider because of Decade. I got into Super Sentai because of Akibaranger. I owe my modern love of toku to shows that celebrate it.

[@redstonecommander5190]

Although it does say unofficial on the logo, there are some ranger keys and even ranger gears that are part of the super sentai series over the years that actually has a reference to the show looks like akiba ranger is an official Santi after all

[@redstonecommander5190]

While the other two members of the team of Akibaranger always kind of messes and getting into things without knowing what they are doing, whatever actor, who is being the blue ranger is always… Keeping it together and being strong

[@LetsChat]

Thanks for this video, I will always have a special place for Akibararanger in my heart.

[@theheronamedvillain2131]

i had to stop half way through of your video cause you convinded me to watch it good job i shall return when im doing binge watching the show

[@Ijustusethistocommentstuff]

You know? Akibaranger could actually be a really good idea for a Sentai-themed Persona game. Especially with the idea of the characters being knowledgable of Sentai Tropes, it could be something where they just kinda...became Sentai as their Persona's manifestations because they thought the monsters looked like Sentai villains.

[@oa-san53]

Curiously one of the main villains of Persona 5 Strikers is a fan of tokusatsu and he wears a tokusatsu-like suit in the metaverse

[@Jayz457]

These guys are the only set of Rangers I own. Love the gimmick and absurdity.

[@lester44444]

holy shit this is how you write a love letter to your fanbase

[@MiXVoy]

Something Power Rangers wouldn't do, ever

[@crsmntmr392]

Damn, i miss their shenanigans

[@tootkoro]

Bro how tf do u have so little subs-this editing style and commentary is amazing wtf

[@Robanhood99]

has it really been 10 years since this aired damn

[@daeyoungVT]

I really miss Akibarangers :3 (especially Maaya Uchida) i wish they made more LOL

[@combatking0]

Akibaranger is great! I wouldn't recommend it as anyone's first Sentai, as it makes more sense if you've seen at least a few of the shows it draws iconography from. Currently I'm watching Carranger and there's a similarly silly vibe but with fewer cameos from earlier seasons.

[@MrKarate2]

10 years after and I'm still waiting a 3rd season... ='(

[@Bobking11]

Great stuff my man!!

[@shanthegamer21]

Akibaranger appends the perspective of otaku as well as comedy anime and Moé, especially with the Z-Cune Aoi character that was made for the show. It’s moment were hilarious and succeeds with paying homage and adheres to Official Sentai Seasons. I wish more people in the toku fandom could understand this; I’ve been into anime myself and grew to understand this stuff. I hope Toei will revive Akibaranger and make a V-Cinext special, maybe in the form of TTFC. Perhaps Hatte Saburo can revive them to get new Daisoreta Powers (I’m picking ones based on Goggle-V, Dynaman, and Flashman) while Malshina can have her own repaint of the Munyu Munyu Zubaan (and unlock a more “revealing” final form) to accommodate her Moya Moya Z-Cune. And maybe the final boss should be based on Deathnark from Goggle-V (Tsuu Shogun is based on Kaa Shogun from Dynaman, Doctor Z is based on Doctor Man from Bioman). Most importantly, they need to keep the anime elements, gags, tropes, and otaku-ish type of comedy.

[@1eyeddevil929]

>Giga Tokusatsu Ah a man of culture! Love episode 6

[@filluppanda]

Great video I genuinely enjoyed it !

[@redstonecommander5190]

Inappropriate this aside, I do love the time where he does witness several super sentai guests, appearing in sometimes in certain scenes akiba red, literally uses some of the super Sendai powers, and uses them for his own advantage

[@SentaiDadvsRiderGirl]

They were the best and will always be remembered.

[@MIRRORMAN_REFLEX_OFFICIALS]

I wish akibaranger had sixth sentai hero which they didn't get one from season 1 and season 2

[@redstonecommander5190]

Delu knight looks really cool. He almost has like a futuristic version of Iron Man.

[@mitsune13]

the only sentai that has a season 2 and i want a season 3

[@00paincakes00]

great video! informative and entertaining. this season is pretty wack lol, i might have to check it out

[@RGSMANIA]

Such a great series

[@Rat4ever]

I would kill for the figures of the "powerful ramgers" in one of the episodes

[@haydenreviewscustomcombos]

I wouldn’t of been surprised if in April 2011, this was pitched as an April fools series.

[@redstonecommander5190]

I really like that Delo knight character I especially love his design I mean look at him. He looks like a freaking combination between war machine and Iron Man.

[@BusterCorp]

Thank the KZbin algorithm for good content for once.

[@MIRRORMAN_REFLEX_OFFICIALS]

I wish akibaranger could've of got sixth sentai hero and akiba blue yellow need powered up armor as well

[@miorionomichi]

I hope they do a new Akibaranger or similar to it for the upcoming 50th anniversary

[@kimitohanahala8674]

I only clicked a recommended video of Akibaranger out of context.

[@kairo31]

underrated channel

[@vincently1995]

Happy 10th Anniversary to Unofficial Sentai Akibaranger!

3:15 IS THAT A JOJO REFERENCE

Akibaranger was my introduction to sentai lol. I enjoy watching sentai since then .

[@mahdibd]

ONORE, HATTE SABURO!!! man i love Akibaranger

[@redstonecommander5190]

It doesn’t get more rad than that

[@MiXVoy]

Too bad PR can't adapt it by replicate it's humor using their history of controversies and scandals as jokes to offend the most toxic fans.

[@goldl3385]

Based and goated work my guy

[@stevelucky7579]

We got to get a faithful dub over this. Not changing anything else just a dub because ai don’t feel like checking this out as a sub.

[@TheGreatVoicemancer]

The fact that the red and green power rangers appear wearing random american flags on them is so funny

[@redstonecommander5190]

2:08 I prefer that she is more of a calm and collected figure to the team😊

[@redstonecommander5190]

If you combine the looks of Iron Man and war machine together, you get Delu knight

[@redstonecommander5190]

Now I noticed that in the eye keeper, ranger catch phrases of every time they appear umadia always speaks way too much on her part of their appearance, which gives me a feeling that she is actually quite hyper

[@MIRRORMAN_REFLEX_OFFICIALS]

@HekiDevi I been waiting and wishing for akibaranger to have ten years after movie

[@MIRRORMAN_REFLEX_OFFICIALS]

@HekiDevi will akibaranger ever get 10th anniversary movie

[@huevasocallejero9184]

buen video, espero que tengas mas apoya a futuro bro.

[@Venkullix]

maybe i should try watching the super sentai series after i finish watching all of kamen riders

[@snowqueen_8958]

Me and my roommate started this two nights ago and its funny ss hell and amazing

[@zenkaimommy]

My biggest flex is that I bought a Moe Moe Z-kyuun for around 120€

[@brevin630]

I just finished a rewatch of Season 1, and man, this show has aged weirdly. Like, not bad, but not good either. Still an enjoyable watch nonetheless, and it's still one of my favorite Sentai ever (sits right under Kyoryuger for me), but there are some bits that don't age super well, especially in a western media mindset

[@MsSaskue360]

U forgot to mention dekaranger vs gavan mentioning the akibarangers

[@MIRRORMAN_REFLEX_OFFICIALS]

I wish there was movie called hikounin sentai akibaranger x gokaiger

[@shresthasengupta8984]

2:15 Honestly I need time to memorize the name of the anime.

[@dylanthebiguy]

Funnyly enough IF akibarangers DOES become official it could've be titled 公式戦隊アキバレンジャー A.k.a offical sentai akibaranger And ya ik then they'll not have any plot then but cmon it has a nice ring to it if you read it in japanese 😂

[@redstonecommander5190]

Or should I say yuko is quite hyper

[@deetay59]

You forgot to mention how they parodied power rangers with the powerful rangers

[@oa-san53]

That is in the second season

[@MiXVoy]

That episode proved that PR can't make parody season using their history of controversies and scandals as jokes to offend the most toxic fans.
