| Despite the things you say that are some logics in this anime firstly the reason why they put the body of grandpa in the fridge was because he mentioned it to them and he said that he could return to his body at some point with with his research. That he able to move in a stuffed anime can be explained with technology seeing everything he already made however the memory transfer needs some more explanation. There hasn't been any technology yet that could store as much data as the human brain. The enemy's attacks are all aimed at there power source this a very obvious thing the attack it was mentioned that everything in there world functions on the energy supplied by that generator. If you are planning a invasion the first two things you would want to take out is the communication of the country your invading and the weaponry they are using to defend themselves. So by taking out that generator the enemy efficiently takes out both the way of communication and there weaponry. |
| this was just a neutral episode |
| Himawari's weapon is awesome. Both shield and guided missiles. When they become VividYellow it becomes some kind of shield/railgun hybrid too! I'm really interest in Homur--, I mean Rei's backstory now. :) |
 |
| NAKED POWER! Himawari's cannon is pretty damn cool, my new favourite vivid, Goodbye Akane. GuiltyKing said: 1. Now I know where the funds for Magi went to. This lol |
| And. We finally have our Yellow Ranger. I gotta admit, I really like the docking between the Red and Yellow Ranger. The red and yellow hair peaks my interest. |
 |
| I liked Tiro Finale more xD |
 |
| I've been wondering, why is it always "Naked" for blade, rang, impact, and collider? and everyone just seems to know how to dock huh!! Anyway, Vividyellow is definitely the best right now, so hot and cool, though Akane's voice still doesn't fit the image!! Will there be Vividred, I wonder? The fight is getting boring, but still a fun watch. |

Magito said: So we got a total of six rangers: Red, Blue, Green, Yellow, Black, and Pink. We got four now, and two left. haha pretty sure that chick with the bow will be black even her scarf is black,but who will be Pink hmmmm~ new girl pretty much transformed into Mami from Madoka was only missing the guns but i swear for some reason almost every show this season has more than 1 ED |

Judging by the cover + the girl that shoots arrows. |
 |
| There was a significant lack in posterior loli this episode. Ah well. Himawari is OK. Reminded me of Sasami-san@Ganbaranai the way she was a shut-in. |
 |
| I really hope this gets better soon because good OST and character design aren't enought to make me enjoy a anime :/ |
 |
| That girl who broke her promise to Himawari...ugh. I would totally take the blame. I really would, I've been bullied like that before, so.... THE DOCKING. OMG, HIMAWARI, YOUR BOOBS. I SERIOUSLY THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO BE ORANGE. BUT IT WAS YELLOW. |
| Vivid yellow easily puts all previous docked vivid girls into shame, even her 00 qan't/AGE-FX esque shield and blustia cannon like weaponry is awesome to watch. her drill hair reminds me of Naito Argent Loup Mitotsudaira and her mom since they shared the same hair length Am I the only one who still finds Akane's boomerang the most badass looking weapon? I can only imagine how awesome it will look like once she transformed into vividred mode |

| Very cool episode with a particularly awesome soundtrack. This show is just tons of mindless fun. |

neontaster said: Very cool episode with a particularly awesome soundtrack. This show is just tons of mindless fun. true that, somehow those OSTs frequently reminds me of the soundtracks that played when I first watched Gundam Unicorn O_O |
| I thought it was okay at first, but the show is seeming a bit too generic for my tastes. And all the butt-shots annoy me. Dropped. :\ |

Finally in ep.5 we will have that girl as the focus, and the mood will be a bit different from what came before. |

| Ha ha, Frau also immediately came to mind when I watched this episode as soon as I saw the aircon running on power mode when they came inside Himawari's home LOL |

| My, I could not stop laughing watching this episode. Especially when Akane broke the camera. And Wakaba voice reminds me how I can't get enough of Toshino Kyouko. |

Judging by the cover + the girl that shoots arrows. I actually based my assumption on the trailer itself. Notice that there's always a different colors representing each characters intros.The Black one is Rei, while Pink represents Momo. neontaster said: Magito said: Oh wow, turning point next episode!

I quickly look at the database as soon you mention it and I can hardly believe. I didn not notice it from the start. Kyouko-chan is my favorite character, so knowing she's facing Wakaba is a plus for me. |

| Watched the episode for the THIRD TIME. That GN Shield Bits (from Cherudim Gundam) armament of Himawari is so kickass and cool. Now I wonder how many caught the Madoka reference in this episode? Should be many I guess. |

| It still bothers me how every-time there is a new member they automatically now what to do like they done it before. |
| I love how cheesy this anime is. Everyone is so accepting. Although they kind of sort of had an excuse for the docking this time as she was a genius and figured it out instantly somehow..... yeah. Well putting aside the cliche characters and set up, this is a fun anime to watch and is pretty much what I expected. But anyhow they are just asking for the world to end, why would they put 95% or whatever it was of the earths energy in one place? babak159 said: Is this anime all about visuals? Am I right? I really enjoy it while I don't care for the story. Yes it is xD. Story in a sentence: evil alien monster things attack earth and little girls have to save it. Exactly the same set up as Strike Witches and Sky Girls and probably others I don't know. If you want any more development than that, I think you will be disappointed. But if you can except the cheesy setup and lack of story, it is quite fun to watch. |

"When everyone else is about to give up, the fighter who becomes the role model, is the true Leader."  |
| Yet another awesome transformation sequence! :D Yellow, curly, twin-tailed girl with oppai! That's so Mami xD though I doubt vividyellow will lose her head any time soon... and NO producer! don't you dare do that in the future too!! This series is just too sweet and nice to have a twist of fate D: Looks like next ep is going to be about Rei, kinda curious about her part of the story :3 hope she is on the good side >< p/s the Akane x Himawari ED is pretty nice too! ahh how will the shipping goes >< |
| So awesome, this show. So mindless and beautiful! Check your brain at the door, set your Naked weapons to 'fun', sit back and enjoy the ride! Kuroki "black rider" Rei next week. Might save Momo(iro) chan for an emergency pink ranger. Only eight episodes left, can't wait! Is it too early to hope for season two??? |
| Well I recognized something. Maybe that these four episodes, Akane has been making friends and suddenly they get keys and they easily defeat the Alone after that (output- 120%, 150%, 200%..). All along the same lines, so it's a little repetitive at this point. At least I believe that is the last of the addition, so next episode will be something new. 3/5. |
 |
| Mhmm. I agree with others who are saying that it is starting to get slightly over-repetitive. Hopefully things start to actually go somewhere now though. |
| There is no such thing as shit taste. Only idiots who think everyone should have the same taste as they do. |
| Well, it's obvious that the producers are doing the intros for the four girls before moving on to the serious stuff. I wonder if they'll get Rei to join next episode? But I doubt it'll that easy. Well, lets see how it goes. I agree the that whole story is cliche and repetitive, and lots of fanservice shots, but if you can set that aside, Vividred is fun to watch. And if you like cute girls, fanservice, lolis, and an old man stuck man stuck in a stuff toy's body, then great! |
| ViviPan (nickname for Vividred in Japan) is rising again in Amazon BD sales ranking after ep.4 As I have expected, Yellow is most popular among fans (while Green is the least popular). |

symbv said: ViviPan (nickname for Vividred in Japan) is rising again in Amazon BD sales ranking after ep.4 As I have expected, Yellow is most popular among fans (while Green is the least popular). Sales of what exactly are you looking at? Is it like on demand streaming/downloading or physical purchases? |

neontaster said: I think my mention of Amazon should give you enough hint that it is about physical purchase ;-)Sales of what exactly are you looking at? Is it like on demand streaming/downloading or physical purchases? What the anime industry cares about is the BD/DVD sales. Legal streaming constitutes only a tiny bit of revenue for the anime production. It is only the sales in Japan that counts at all. ViviPan started up in top position for this season's anime, but over the last 3 episodes has weakened quite a bit as its position in bestseller ranking keeps going down. The trend is finally reversed with the airing of ep.4. It is still not back to its original high position but hopefully things will improve from now on. |

But what I don't get is what are they buying? Do they release each individual episode or are these preorders of volume 1 that'll be released whenever? |

Based on the size of preorders, the production will decide how many copies to make. OK, that's what I wanted to know. They really break it down like that on a week by week basis and then say "this character is more popular and this isn't"? That's pretty terrible if it is a major factor in the creative process. Sometimes something isn't immediately popular but builds to become something loved... |
|
neontaster said: Character? Not sure what you mean here. But it is true that preorder is carefully monitored by the anime production people (I am not sure if it is done in weekly basis or daily basis or whatever) because if they make too many copies it will just become extra cost. Anime production does not have big scale so it can be sensitive to any extra cost.

Sometimes something isn't immediately popular but builds to become something loved... As for your point about series not immediately popular, if a series manages to become much more popular before its broadcast on TV is done, preorder will catch up. On the other hand, the ground reality in Japan is that the vast majority of purchase of anime BD/DVD happens in the first few weeks after its release. So even if it becomes a better loved series later (which is not that common anyway), sales does not often pick up that much. |

I was talking about your first post on this topic - you said the sales from this week were up, indicating that people like Yellow (and like Green the least). Question is does that factor in to the creative process? Do they look at those numbers and say "we need to give Yellow more things to do" even if it isn't good for the plot? I mean, I'm sure there's a little bit of that in every movie or TV show all over the world because you are trying to make a product that people will want to buy, but I guess I was just wondering if the fact that they keep such a close eye on sales (for the reasons you mentioned) impacts their decisions regarding the shows themselves. |
|
neontaster said: I am sure the production would not come up with a main character in a team that is much less popular than others. So I believe the relative popularity of Green vs Yellow is something of a surprise to the production. And even though for anime series, later episodes are still being made while the early episodes are aired, it is very difficult to change the screenplay to a big extent as a lot of teams are involved. It does not mean that they cannot do something if they sense a certain character is being much popular but big changes are unlikely.I was talking about your first post on this topic - you said the sales from this week were up, indicating that people like Yellow (and like Green the least).
