I like the new OP. ED is cutely animated too, but idk why the ED is always based on the Miracle Muse...I thought they weren't important anymore?

Unlike others, I'm enjoying this show as usual. Fun, fast-paced solid story in each episode. Also, interesting development with Goto and Mari.

Also, I died laughing when they added a laser firing dick onto their mecha.

When Masayoshi was in the store, wasn't that the pale kid from the first ep?

Hmmmm I actually think it was.
If it was then that kid seems to be important, there's been some talk about him before.

Or it was a random guy and we're all grasping at straws...

I checked and yeah the exact same hair so it was the same person.


Still it doesn't mean he's important though. Might be just showing that Flamenco helped him live a respectable life (him having a job now)

The girlfriend that somehow knows so much, but is never seen, is a real mystery

Right now Gotou is one of the few links between Hazama and his past life, one that might prove as crucial later on I presume, since the present super-hero stuff seems too commercialized and too good to be true. For once the other member of the flamenger team don't seem as genuinely caring about rightfulness and justice as Hazama is and more set on the praise and prestige they achieve from doing this job. Their mentor Kaname Jouji hasn't been the most reliable person either as seen in previous episodes and of course there's still Akira Konno as the ever so sensationalism-seeking journalist lurking in the background.


Thank you for being one of the only people contributing insight that isn't another useless "WTF MADE NO SENSE" posts.
You don't have to be a genius, but sheesh...you can at least TRY to look at the bigger picture

Like when Masayoshi teamed up with Mari and the girls, there is always a disconnect between Masayoshi's idea of being a hero and what his allies see a hero as. At the end, I felt as if the flamengers didn't really respect him as a "leader" but rather the guy that can take over a majority of the responsibilities (just from the way they treated him to a dinner he cooked them) so they gladly handed over the red suit to him.

And as quoted, the old-er characters are still not out of the story quite yet. I feel as though they are being saved for the more interesting parts of the plot, especially gotou, as Masayoshi is still attached to him in some way.

lol Maya just hiding in that one room in Goto's apartment =P

okay, these fight scenes are pretty darn lame. It was like they were getting hit by plastic swords, and their guns shoot laser beams. Not really any great animation and I don't really enjoy it. . .
Also, all those random people that died, Flamengers don't blink an eye and even ignore them, just focusing on how to defeat the mmm34. Seriously, since the gorilla, so many random people dying as if they were nothing. .

, and then the 64 new villains at the end, I feel like this series is just trolling now.

I still see glimpses of how cool this show was at the very beginning... It's like there's still hope for it to end up being really cool again. It isn't bad right now, but I felt so much more potential at the beginning, and everything still seems really deliberate.

Here's hoping this anime ends up being more worthwhile than it feels right now!

Looks like they will screen the finished OP in the next few weeks according to their twitter account (scheduling issues are still present as ever).
I thought that might've been the issue since that did not look like a new OP to me. Thanks for the news.

The ending was cute when finally everyone decided to have curry at Masayoshi's house. His hard work to unite the group seemed to have paid off. Still looking forward to the yellow flamenger.

Their base...Camp Big Falcon! And when they showed the Flamen Cannon I was like "wait that looks familiar..." Shot Bomber from Hikari Sentai Maskman!

And what is up with those deluxe parts?

*fires Crotch Beam*
Flamen Pink: "There's so much energy!"
*female Musashi blushes and fangirls*

Can't stop laughing!

The first OP was better than this one imo. I like the ED though the first one was also fun.

When all the MMM34 people appeared, I was laughing pretty hard. To me that was almost Inferno Cop levels of idiocy (which is hilarious).

Anyway, this has been getting worse and worse, but watching it while thinking of it as some sort comedy makes it a little better I guess.

what the actual fuck! they really fucked up this anime.. whether in a good or in a bad way, I'm not sure yet..

Mari was annoying as usual..

this really remind me of Voltes V... I mean there are 5 of them and each of them controls a vehicle that can transform into a giant robot if they all combine and also that giant letter V..

and look at Goto.. a cop with an imaginary girlfriend but lets a girl sleep in his room... man why?? you're the only one here who actually makes sense!!

after the 4 kings here comes the 64 War Gods!!! and after them is the 101 Dalmatians!! wooo!! (ooops)

Getting real sick of your shit, SamFlam. I was absolutely floored by this anime's amazing awe-inspiring potential until they basically destroyed the show by creating true villains that acted like idiot children's show crooks.

The original plot of this show, when he was a lame-ass hero really trying to make it, was the coolest idea for a show, ever, hands down, period. I feel like that blue moon miracle has been completely wasted.

If they don't salvage this soon, this will be the biggest disappointment of my anime experience, which spans 18 years.

Since now Mari is living in Goto's house,she may find something about Goto. As Goto is the most mysterious character in the anime ( in my opinion ),she may also find out about Goto's girlfriend.
And in the future i hope to see more Goto action scene.....i'm a Goto fan....And in one of the pictures of Samurai Flamenco,i saw Goto holding the rifle.I hope to see that in the anime

Couple of things:

- Has the Prime Minster ever mentioned Kaname by name?

- This is the first time we've seen the inside of Goto's house.

- How the hell did the media capture the Flamengers fighting like that?

I wonder what we're being set up for. This definitely feels like a "calm before the storm" moment. I'd be surprised if the Flamengers survived more than 4 or 5 episodes.

The story is falling apart. I'm not sure what they are trying to achieve anymore.

It's time for me to change the score down from a 7 to a 5 until they stop showing lame villains like these. This has turned from an initial gem to just an average series. It's something very annoying about all Sentai series, to show a one-off villain that nobody could care about. They are repeating this so many times in an anime series that I don't know what they are trying to achieve by doing that.

The "calm before the storm" thing has been used too many times in this series. It's no longer effective anymore. It's not clever enough to sustain the whole series. There are too many things unexplained which I shall list below:

-Akira. Why is he back to normal and just lazing around? I thought King Torture did something to him?
-Jun and his stationery. Yea it was confiscated by government and he went back to his job. So that's the end of him? If so, I am disappointed. His weapons are the most original ever and I still think he could make better ones against the threat they are facing.
- Mari. I could care less about the other members who only fought because Mari wanted to, but I don't think it is the end for her.

I'm expecting the OP animation to change. They are just recycling animation from the past few episodes.

It's more hilarious than the anime to see how some people in this forum are pissed on "WTF" posts and still consider a decent discussion on the story when it's pretty much fucked up and obviously nothing serious to talk to anymore. Just look at bright side people, and stop thinking.

Imo, the only part of the show that still has "seriousness" with it is the fact that Goto/Mari are alive and surviving the mayhem in the flamen-iverse.

If this show still has something good on it, then it would probably be:

1) it's flamenco-rny, lame and cliche (i guess those are good things?)
2) a decent ED for keeping you sane
3) you-don't-know-what-to-expect-next-episode

It was my mistake to limit the parody/lameness to "hero" genre after seeing:

1) FLAMENGER...PERIOD! (nice sexual innuendo)
2) DELUXE MODE (more commonly known as Elephant Dick Satellite or EDS)
3) MMM34 (dual parody of Miyamoto Musashi *dang the production for making fun of this epic guy* and AKB48, a japanese idol group consisting of 48 members)
4) FROM BEYOND TO HEAVEN (probably a parody to "To Infinity and Beyond"-Toy Story or the fact that he was "crucified/burned" thus the heaven part)

It doesn't re ally feel the same anymore. It was more fun with him fighting the good fight as Samurai Flamenco and having his cop buddy.

Barely got to see his agents reaction.

The only interesting part was Mari with Goto.

It's hard to take the cheezy monsters as a threat. When the Guillotine Monkey killed cops shit was real but since then? King Torture going after the girls was the only thing that didn't make them feel silly.

So many posts I want to reply to but I'm going to hold back. I'll say this though. If anyone by this point thinks he's in coma then you are extremely gullible. The story itself pretty much confirmed everything from episode 7 to now to be real. Even if he is, and I say "If". Then they literally destroyed this entire show to a point where it can't recover. I'm done with the show but I'm going to check back every week to see how it turns out.

I agree. It's a one-way ticket to destruction. It's too late to twist it by saying Hazama is dreaming, coma, or just filming. It's been 5 episodes people. Five! It's too late.

I really don't want to give up on this yet, so I'll try to be optimistic and say that -as it had been previously pointed out- at the moment everything seems too good to be true for Masayoshi, and there is a lot we still don't know about the rest of the characters; so there's still time for the plot to take another turn and have some sense again.
Until then, this show looks more like samurai flopmenco. (aah yes, lame puns)

1. the show is still enjoyable. It showed how a hero slowly get accepted, and the challenges the hero face once accepted.

2. Mari old costume was yellow, and there is a spot open for yellow flamenger.

3. Can't help but feel that Gotou's girlfriend is the final boss. Gotou and Hazama is the main cast. so Gotou will need a reason to be involve with the flamengers, and his girlfriend being the boss of from beyond is one way. This episode already hinted at Mari's attachment to Gotou. And Gotou showed concern for Mari in a few episode already.

4. I already got a feel for what the series is aiming for (I think). Mahou Shoujo Madoka★Magica is a serious topic on magical girls, and Samurai flamenco is a half serous topic on power ranger. Typically, girls watch magical girls, and boys watch power rangers ( at least is common in Japan and for other Asians). Get where I am going with this?
