Episode 1: Oh great, another generic action anime.
Episode 2: This shit is terrible.
Episode 3: FUCK YES YOU ARE THE GREATEST EPISODE EVER!

I now finally see why /m/ loses their collective shit over this series. Even if it never reaches this level again this episode alone makes it the best thing Goro Taniguchi has ever done by far.

Edit - I take back what I said. While this episode was awesome, the rest of the series is insanely bad.

I like this episode, people should have more respect for elderly.

I was loling hard at the power rangers all grown up. They turned out to be reckless drunken elderly.

Good episode

I loled the hardest when the oldtimers entered the battle and one of them was saying "Josè, you cover Carlos." and then the three of them start while Carlos doesn't move an inch, still sleeping ^^.
I probably regret this post by now.

Very nice episode , at first i though it was simple parody of Power Rangers (i wonder anyone even remember that haha) but it turned out into very nice episodic story which for some reason felt nostalgic.

That was one incredibly cheezy episode...The use of Spangrisss made me laugh though

Ouch, my heart! My eyes overflow with MANLY TEARS!!

Forrealzies tho, that was a beautiful episode, even if we didn't have the main mecha's regular stock footage.

This is an old ass post but come man, don't do this shit. Not like it'd surprise me though, there's no way to top this one.

first two episodes = bad

this episode = very good

but it's still "villain of the week" which i don't like. and even though this was a very good episode, it had NOTHING to do with the two main characters. also not the biggest mecha fan (it wasn't mentioned in the synopsis, but it was tagged under genre, to be fair)

i'm going to put this on hold for now. may not come back to it for awhile though. tbd

this episode = 8/10. bumps the series up to a 6/10 (previously a 5/10)

They 100% understood the assignment with this episode, completely knocked it out the park.

Don't count the old timers out, I guess. It's still ostensibly in dragged-out parody territory though, so yet to impress.

What manly spirit! A combining robot, some old vets with some real grit! Truly, this is a super robot show!
