Whats up my millenuims? Your
Black-Winged Magician is back from a short hiatus!, which I do
apologize deeply for. I've been busy taking care of business for the
Yu-Gi-Oh! film, trying to get a production group started and I'm
starring as the Beast at my school's upcoming performance of Beauty
and the Beast. But enough of me, let's get to what EVERYONE's been
waiting for-!
Yup this is gonna be a weekly
segment!.... Starting now!
So this week we're gonna take a look at
Hikonin Sentai Akibaranger!
Um.... Ok..... I have some explaining
to do. You
see back in April 6th,
TV
Asahi's BS Asahi
channel
began to broadcast this show, so “technically” this isn't a part
of the official Super Hero Time television block.... But then again
Go-Busters sucks gorilla boogers from a baby's dirty diaper, so
instead, I'm going to be reviewing this alongside of Fourze!
Now for a little back-story: Hikonin
Sentai Akibaranger actually stands for Unofficial Sentai Akibaranger.
So yeah this isn't an official Sentai either, bite me. It's intended
to be a parody show of Super Sentai. Also this show is... for
“mature” audiences and every episode closes out with “good boys
and girls stay away”.
0.o..... Um... I wonder why.... Anyways
the show revolves around three individuals who make up the
Akibarangers.
First up is Akagi Nobou who is
AkibaRed!
Er... Maybe not the smoothest Red, but
Akagi is still one of my favorite Reds EVER. He's a 29 year old otaku
that works for the SPD... The Sasaki
Pom Poko Delivery which coincidentally has the same initials as Special Police Dekaranger and is parodied in the first episode!... Erm...
Anyway, Akagi's a MAJOR Super Sentia fan that knows EVERY single
detail of EVERY Sentai, thus leading him to constantly have
delusions. He is brash and points out every single Sentai Trope (or
cliché) the instant it happens, making him perfect for taking the
role of AkibaRed.
Next
up is Yumeria Moegi AKA AkibaYellow.
Ok...
so our heroes are a bunch of weirdos, but I love 'em!
Yumeria
is a 24 year old cosplayer and doujin manga artist who's trying to
get her work recognized. Her mood depends greatly on the costume she
wears and will speak in a deep voice when compromised. She is easily
the CUTEST character of the show, and oddly, the least annoying. How
can you get mad at that? Especially after episode 4 when she cosplays
as Melee *drools*... Anyway!
Wrapping
up the Akibarangers is AkibaBlue, Aoyagi Mizuki.
Yeah
she's the typical cool-headed blue. Always says whats on her mind,
thinks everyone else is an idot, blah blah blah. What makes her
interesting is her passion for martial arts, which is the primary
reason she joined the Akibarangers. She is also the only "underage" member of the group. On top of that she is a closet-otaku,
trying to hide the fact that she likes Aoi-Tan (a fictional anime
character in the show whose design makes up their changers.)
Lastly
on the good guys side, Hakase, Hiroyo Hakase.
She
is by far the CUTEST mentor for any Super Sentai I have seen.
She also owns a Sentai Cafe! Will she marry me?! She designed and
created the MMZ-01, the changers of the show which look like figures
of Aoi-Tan, but transform into guns when the rangers transform.
On
the bad guys side.... Malshina <3
I
may as well end the review here, I can't top THAT ^
She
is the most drop dead gorgeous villainess I have seen, she even beats Kegalashia, OH YEAH I WENT THERE! She's sexy, seductive, evil and one
of the funnest characters I have ever seen. Actually, every single
main character in this show are some of my favorite characters of
all-time.
Hikonin
Sentai Akibaranger is by far already one of my FAVORITE shows, and
its BARELY on episode 6! Oh I am so looking forward to this show! Too
bad all the fights are in the rangers' heads.... Oh yeah they really
don't fight the villians at all, the MMZ-01 are just broadcasters
that allow them to share the same delusions.... What's that you say?
What's the point in them even fighting? Well, apparently there's
someone going around Akibahara(the town the Akibarangers live in) and is trying to transform it and
get rid of all the otaku-ness! There's more than just delusions,
especially since this weeks episode revealed that Malshina can get
into the real world!... I was the happiest man in the world <3
Anyway
like I said, Akibaranger is a GREAT show and I'm going to be
reviewing it ever other week, starting with episode 7. I HIGHLY
recommend this show to most otakus. Hope you enjoyed this segment of
Supah Hero Time. Also if you are going to FalCon, I have already
reserved a table so come on by and say hi! 'Till next time!
Ah, I love this show more and more...
