Ep 7:

And it keeps getting better... So any news on how many episodes are planned? 13-14?

unfortunately, there's no confirmed number. But according to the rumors it'll be only 13. I hope they're wrong. we need at least 26 eps.

With the turn of the plot in episode 7, I'm starting to believe 13 is the magic number. That matches with the length of Japanese late-night shows as well (It airs after 1 AM).

I agree with 13 because with what happened in 7 I dont see how it can have a plot longer than 13 eps

Really I demand a full season, this is the best thing in some time.
Just love the whole show, nothing about it is disappointing.

next ep

Haven't watched 9 yet (waiting for SD), but I think it's neat/a little weird that the girl playing Yumeria is only 16. She's a talented young woman!

She's gonna play Kaede Kaburagi in the Tiger and Bunny live action.

Also Mitsuki's actress is only 18. Young cast (except Nobu duh) Interesting to note she played in a Pepsi Nex commercial, which is also somewhat related to Tiger and Bunny.

Tiger and Bunny live action? Watashi kiitenai!

Well, at least Mitsuki's actress plays a girl her age. But yeah, Yumeria's actress is pretty good. In fact, Akiba is better than most toku in terms of acting.

Well Nobu's actor Masato Wada is rather famous as a singer and for his Prince of Tennis Musicals.

The live action is actually a stage play. Although when the DVDs come out you can still watch it online:

Leo Zodiart and Gavan in the cast.

Sorry, guys. It's only 13 episodes, with episode 13 being a recap.

Thanks for the link! Now I can correct the episode number at mdl.

A shame.

Ep 9:

This show is so frickin' FUN! =D Every episode just ups the ante that much more. I'm kind of sad it will end at 12 episodes plus a recap, BUT, I'm glad we won't end up with any repetitiveness and filler that the regular Sentai series falls into. Even with the way they're loading the back end with plot, I'm not in the last disappointed and I'm sure that not only will it go out with a massive BANG, but that everything will be wrapped up.

Arg. I wish they would do at least 26 episodes of this epicness.

But oh well quality > quantity

I don't really think 26 episodes would reduce the quality. They could have one more episode for each ranger, one girl power episode, one Red and yellow and onde Red and blue episodes... A KozKoz centered episode... There are many parodies to be made. And they could have the 4th... There would be a lot of material to keep it fresh.

Well, I meant with a 49 episode season. I'm certainly all for a second season of Akibaranger! 26 isn't too bad. But, to be honest, I don't think at any point you could really refer to this series as "fresh." Refreshing, sure it is. Fresh? Nah.

I just noticed Punkbeelte's comment: For a late night drama, 12 episodes *is* a full season (I'm not counting the recap).

Many a laugh! KozKoz is definitely a fave, but I just realized... wasn't there another girl working at the secret base at the start of the series?
