While people are saying this is going downhill. I think its getting better!

Why? Its obvious this series is a super sentai parody which kinda reminds me of Gintama in a way where they poke fun at certain genres, character archetypes, and shows yet have some serious heartbreaking moments thrown in. I believe this was never meant to be taken seriously from the start which is why I have fun watching it every week! And why its getting an high score from me!


But the thing is that gintama was a parody/comedy from the very beginning.. But samurai flamenco was a normal superhero wanna be show with a realistic setting for the first 6 eps and now they are pulling in all these random elements that totally get in the way of what the first six eps had built up, it's like they threw out the plot and even some of the characters personalities and developments hey were having, it's leaving big holes in the series. Maybe if the show was like this from the beginning it would be great but at this point it's like it got a different writer or studio or something. I wouldn't say the show is awful, I at least still find it funny and entertaining to watch, but it feels kind of like a sham.

Terrible episode, but necessary. Ok guys, this is what's going to happen.

Next episode, the other three bad guys of FROM BEYOND are easily defeated by the Flamengers, then King Torture makes the awesomest comeback ever, setting the scenario for the 2nd half of the show, which will blow everyone's minds.

BRACING FOR EPIC, you people need to trust the staff of this show a little, they've proven themselves capable of great things in the past.


The thing is EVERYTHING I have ever predicted to happen next on Samurai Flemenco since episode 7 has went a completely different direction. Although my current assumption is that they are going to easily defeat FROM BEYOND, before a new bigger threat appears. And the show will just repeats itself until eventually even Guren Lagann will look and say, "don't you think that's a bit over the top?"

This show is getting better and better, seriously. Also the villain in this one was very creative.

I'll be honest, the first few episodes were not that good in my opinion. I think the direction it's going now is way more satisfying and more fun to watch. I do admire cheesy tokusatsu shows and this show certainly makes me want to watch more of them.

Good god, this show just gets better and better!

I guess the Super Sentai feel isn't for everyone, but I absolutely LOVE it! It's like i'm a kid being stoked on Power Rangers again.

Yeah I'm not fond of Super Sentai stuff but the last half felt a bit too Power Rangery to me.

This show had a huge potential. Seriously, amazing characters, comedy, action, lots of fun... But last episodes had been really bad. I thought that episode 7 were just a great plot twist, but it was a shitty one. All of a sudden anything bad happends and we all have fun playing superhero, our lives will never be on risk, and our enemies are full retard, wtf seriously. They could have introduced lots of drama and stuff (seriously, how many head were ripped away on episode 7?), but no... and now, all of a sudden, there were not even time enought to end that shitty arc, but a Power Rangers Stereotipical Super Hero Show appears, well fuck, seriously thinking on droping this.

Well, it's not what I hoped for in the beginning, but it's still interesting to see a grittier Sentai series... I'm curious to see how things will end up. I'll be a little disappointed if the Flamenco Girls are out of the picture now, though. Sure Mari could be an asshole, but she was probably the most interesting character to me... I'd prefer to see more of those three. Only "Flamenger Black" seems all that cool so far... and Green a little bit. Also hope to see less of that mech fusion stuff... of course, if it's going to be some sort of parody, or just slightly gritty Sentai, I suppose it will have to go all the way.

Haven't watched anything Power Rangers-like since I was a kid!!! XDDD

Those new folks were fun, too, especially when all of them turned out wearing the Red costume!!! Hilarious!! :DDD They appear to be good fellas! XD I like that Black Flamenger - I bet his personality is really nice! ^^ Oh, he was a soldier before!! Mmmmm ;333

Made me laugh so hard and that Flamengers theme song...OMFG so funny!!! XDDD Epic....

But I missed my Go-chin~~~ Nyaa!!!! TTT~TTT

Yeah, from now on I'm just gonna watch every new episode and be like 'Mm-hmm' and 'Ok'. Trying to understand what's happening is meaningless.

They totally went sentai on us. I still think this is some kind of dream. I mean, come on guys, what about the rest of what Mayayoshi's grandpa said? What about his parents? What about their murderer?

Omori what the hell are you doing?!


I think the murderer has been taken care of in the Spider-man first movie. Yup, it's the same guy. Also, the murderer's father killed Bruce Wayne's parents.

Speculations are only useful for shows that seem to have some coherence, not shows that can pull any asspull at any moment. Speculating is futile.
We might as well speculate that next episode Gotou will transform to a tentacle monster.

It's like the point of this show is to have somewhat realistic takes on each stage of superhero and villainy found in various sentai shows. To explain it more would be madness.

Therefore: ALIENS.

THIS ANIME MUST BE STOPPED!
And exactly when I thought I've endured it all and we've got it behind us, nooooo, bring the aliens.
And what's with this ridiculous advertisment?x'DDD "From Beyond" Sounded like a new movie announcement.
And a secret base, of couuuuurse. Anyway, liked the new guys. Pretty ones, but pretty uninteresting at the moment. All too fast.
And omg, Flamengers? FLAMENGERS? ARE YOU FOR REAL
And everyone was the red guy, lol. Best scene of the episode.
Besides, when I already thought "Oh, they resemble the Power Rangers" they even have the mega bot and their own title song.
Yep. Definetely Power Rangers.

Whoa new characters. I'm guessing it's these people:
http://www.crunchyroll.com/anime-news/2013/12/19-1/official-english-site-introduces-new-samurai-flamenco-characters

Their poses are ridiculous though and seriously, all of them as the red Samurai Flamenco? LOL. I can't say I'm a fan of any of the main characters yet. The supernatural theme is still there..but shit, this is really starting to look like Power Rangers even with the different colored suits in the second half.

Wow I'm the top comment on that lol.

Now it's full on sentai. I never expected this. I though it would be all contained in the city but it's going way beyond that.

Flamengers!

New characters! Flamen Pink reminds me of Satsuki from Kill la Kill.

I wouldn't be surprised if they went to space which I have a feeling like they would. Things just keep escalating!

wish they delved more into Mari's character now that she isn't just a violent girl who acts as a superhero. maybe they will, but from the looks of this episode, seems like they won't.

you can't really expect people to take the events from now on "as a parody" or "for laughs" because that wasn't what the audience was given in the first few episodes. This show could have been good if it stuck to the SOL. It still could have been good if it was devoted to the riduculous superhero stint from the beginning with (improved) comedy. But then it tried to do both.

I still find the ED song as the best part of every episode... with the exception of the king torture fight.

I am disappointed that this has turned into a full on Sentai show now.

I'm not sure how I feel about this. I really wanted it stick to being a slice of life anime because the first 6 episodes were so much better.

Oh well. Maybe I won't completely lose interest.

some crazy new antags were introduced, basically all of the old cast is irrelevant now, and now we have some power rangers parody? this show is a mess - it's all over the place. still, i find myself entertained so i don't mind. i can easily see why a lot of people have problems with it though.

i love these new flamenger characters because they all have cool designs, but i hope they don't shift focus away from the original characters we've grown attached to. i kind of want to see the flamenco girls and goto evolving their combat skills to combat from beyond too.

Wow, good episode, really brought out the power rangers type superhero setting, with the whole team plus Megazord thing at the end. SF is really growing fr.

Also new villain Far Beyond is just part of the hero's life. Idk what to feel about them being connected to King T, a more multiverse type scenario would have fit the bill, but lets see how this will turn out.

Why's this episode so polarizing too??
