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.

This show... XD

It just keeps anting everything up each week
The situation, the villains, the absurdity

So whenever Red Axe was always "leaving for trips" he was actually preparing the Sentai squad for From Beyond? I always thought he was just a dick and teaching Flamenco for the fame

Hahaha what the hell just happened to this show

Samurai Squad Flamengers.. At least that Flamenger song during the fight was pretty cool and catchy.
The new characters seem interesting so far I guess. Lol at all of them coming out as Flamen Red.
I can't take it seriously, but I actually thought this was a nice little intro episode to the Flamengers.

Lololol...that totally went power rangers on us XD

The true enemy From Beyond and the explanation of why Kaname was always away XD

4 new characters...Power ranger stereotypical archtypes of characters to add XD
Lol'd at how all of them were red at the start XD

Even Gattai XD

And Kaname's beautiful lies were lol XD

Hazama is screwed now that Ishihara found out the truth. Damn she was pissed "SOB" XD

Flamenoid is voiced by Horikawa Ryo right? Been a while since I heard Vegeta's voice XD

Gotta admit. Loved the Flamenger theme song XD

I wonder what role Marie and Gotou will play from now on and when the hell we'll see his gf >.<

Ah Flamengers.
Guys it's the Flamengers complete with their own theme song.
They even fuse together to fight gigantic enemies oh god.


I guess from this point on I can laugh and take it easier now because questioning this show will be the end of me.

I can't believe this is real though. I'm seriously in denial :/

Oh my God, that ending. I'm drowning in nostalgic tears here from laughing so hard. I have no idea what's going on anymore, so why am I loving it? And I knew Jouji was up to something! It's a beautiful lie.

That skyward scream, pfft. Someone's got a little ‘splainin’ to do.

I enjoyed this more than I expected to. LOL What kind of villain name is "ugly toxic poison"?! LOL I love the new rangers. Hilarious group.

I guess this show is the hit and miss type. You either like it or you absolutely hate it. I'd say I like it. I mean, it's funny and parodic! What else do you expect? I laughed at least five times this episode.

►| SamuMenco hits it out of the park once again. They really increased the cheese level for this episode while still playing it tongue-in-cheek, giving it just the right amount of seriousness (by which I mean it is almost non-existent) and the rest being straight-up comedy. The film trailer for FROM BEYOND with its title blending in wholly depicted in capital letters à la horror movie style was just priceless. If you decide to shift gears and go crazy you better go all out! In this regard SamuMenco sets a great example unlike that other half-assed noitaminA show this season *cough*GalileiDonna*cough*.

►| "To those 'adults' who don't want to become adults..." In a sense the new direction of this show does exactly what it promoted from the very start. Had it maintained its status quo shown in the first six episodes even Masayoshi would have given up at some point because the role he aspired to play just isn't meant to work in the real world. However, with the new development he gets the chance to continue playing superhero, he can avoid growing up, maintaining his simplicistic point of view. The whole thing depicts a "What If" scenario that stuffs fantastical elements in an otherwise mundane setting (though I guess the real world is ridiculous enough to cover that up a bit).

►| For now our hero gets to shine as a superhero but I can't imagine any other solution to all of this but reality slapping him in the face in the end with the whole facade crashing down as he (and all the other like-minded characters) will finally have to accept growing up and leaving their childhood aspirations behind.

After the darkness of the last episode, dId they just do a full body reference to friggin' VOLTRON?!

I'm at a complete loss as to what Takahiro Omori is doing in this show anymore, so I'm just gonna keep trucking and see where the cheese and absurdity leads.

ive been feeling it for a couple episodes but I definitely feel that Red axe is the bad dude behind everything. Hes either some kind of alien or hes a producer for the most insane reality tv show of all time. Either way looking forward to the shenanigans he pulls in the next few eps.

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?!

Even if they come out with the "it was all a dream" bullshit later on, it will be too late to save the show. It completely went downhill and at this point it's beyond salvation.
How could this happen? It was such a great series.

I mean, c'mon the dude lies constantly, even about his own death! He's probably been away preparing all these evil dudes for his ranger team to fight and whatnot. Hell, he might even be the reason behind King Torture becoming evil. My guess is that he's delusional and he's clinging onto the remains of his past.

Nobody is dumb enough to start off the show the way they did then transition into this insanity without any sort of reasoning. Have patience...lots of it, but I have a feeling we'll get something to reward our patience XD

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!

I wouldn't call it utter shit...just unorthodox
I don't blame you for not enjoying it, but personally I find it rather fun to watch the ridiculous parts and the serious moments are good when they do occur

Lol well that escalated quickly.

It has a linear progression though. My guess is in 2 or 3 episodes he's going to fight the boss-man, and all of the Flamengers will die (except him).

It's going to get darker again after that, and he's going to be a solo hero, purely. Not even any support. And he's gonna save the entire planet.

And then we'll find out he's in a mental institution or something.


Seriously I'm thinking this is gonna be like another Paranoia Agent.
