THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Shinomiya is so shy...well, whatever, nice to see her make episode debut this week. She's almost like Frau imo of this show in her terms of using technology. I still think she looks pretty though in those clothes :p

Well, I'm not surprised that she joined the team and got her own Vivid powers. Not bad.

Himawari joined the team as expected. Those blonde drills she gets after forming into her adult form are something...

Himawari's docked form is beautiful and her weapons seem to be more for defense than offense like the others as the bits reflect and nullify enemy projectiles.

Well, I pretty much predict that she would be the defense type and her docking form is beautiful but normally she is cute.

Kuroki Rei: Nice Homerun!

Next preview: Final key

Well, Kuroki Rei might be the final key but I don't think she easily will team up with Akane and instead go with the enemy, but somehow I got a feeling of she will help them later.
She might just end up in neutral side as first.

OP got updated again and the episode went pretty much as we expected. I like the added pride factor of Himawari and Vividyellow reminds me very much of a combination of Mami and Selnia.

They've already thrown so many transformations and stuff at us, I wonder what else they have to offer. Normally I'd say the pacing and everything are way off, but I kinda like how the show takes a different approach so far.

Himawari-chan is so damn cute. She's as cute as Aoi-chan. Also has the biggest breast size out three girls.

Vividyellow is one pretty babe. She resembles Mami of Madoka too.

The episode did what it had to in order as introductions go with Himawari Shinomiya herself. I for one already know she is CANNON FODDER for breast service easily. OP bouncing being present of her during each OP ends the discussion of this.

About Himawari, typical shut-in and is given courage aka light to come out and make a differences. Quite used often GAG. No surprise there.

About Himawari’s transformation, quite the most clean I have seen. Himawari’s appeal are her breasts and cleavage. Nothing else to say other than her ass should a better variance. Last I hear big breasted girls have bigger asses than others.

About Himawari x Akane docking, quite the best in the following,

Including of course them blank breasts who have a better shape since has the biggest shape. Makes you wonder if Akane’s breasts size compacted them into being smaller. Oh well the wonders of fusions other than how they are presented to the viewers.

Himawari’s boots remind me of:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hermes
Basically. Especially at what they do. Speed is quite essential in a good defence.

About Himawari’s fused appearance, if you take a look close from the panorama view in the following spoilerAs a whole. You can quite be happy that you should get fooled. It’s nothing but this:
http://myanimelist.net/character/38194/Mami_Tomoe
Add longer drills and a variance of the dress. It quite fits Mami indeed. A lot of elements IMO. Albeit I like the closed eyes aspect it does to the fused version.

About why I picked this up again, cause I felt the service is stupid in thee end and that the SFX and enemies is where it’s at. They flash all they TBH I would not care of it. It’s the action that I am after. That’s why in thee end I think it’s frustrating how some rushes are done and service done here and there but it pales in comparing WHAT I LIKE. So basically it’s for now to like this series SERVICE GTFO! In my head. That’s how I will like this series from now on.

About Himawari’s strategy, most people fail at getting this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_best_defense_is_a_good_offense
Whom is the sole reason of Himawari/Akane fusion and the boots too. There is nothing more to understand of that notion. Himawari/Akane fusion may be the most useful.

About the preview, looks like EVIL HOMURA background check. CHECK! Will watch to find out no problem! Also the petals of the flower are now RED FEATHERS?????? What?????

The crow might be Murasame, the evil demon blade.

I will add separate but the ED this time around is the first to feature full nudity of Himawari.

Too bad they did not do the same for the other girls. Waste of service potential there.

Yup. That settles it. Himawari is my favorite ranger. She looked so cute when she transformed and looked even sexier when she turned into vividyellow.

I couldn't help but wonder how exactly did she even know how to use her weapons and how did she even know how to dock in the first place? I guess I have to throw my brain and logic out the window whenever I watch this show.

Hacking the database only told her about the Alone and that mysterious girl in red was in the battle. It didn't tell her anything about those girls, what those moves are or how to use them.

But this is one of the first things I thought when I saw the very first docking (the first thought was, ofc, "I'd like to dock with Akane too, knowwhatImean nudgenudge winkwink")

i knew you someone will counter what i have said but its the only possible clue on how she obtain knowledge about the Vivid System, lets put it this way she might learn the general ideas through hacking but never learn the details like who the girls are or what moves they use, she is a genius afterall and can do MEMORY ASSOCIATIONS on any sci-fi/nerd/geek/genius technology

well to me my idea about that again is Himawari is a GENIUS, so anything weird that she see can have MEMORY ASSOCIATION on science and technology including popular scientists like Kenjirou

EDIT:

just watched that part again and the sequence goes like this
Kenjirou: Geez and here i even fixed it for you
Akane: Gramps!!!
Himawari: oh so your Dr Isshiki right?

so there is your better answer

So, next episode focuses on Rei? I'm still expecting Momo to be the next one to receive a key (Vivid Pink!), Rei can be the 6th Ranger.

On the topic of Rei. Since the second episode, I've been thinking that she may be one of the "good guys". Maybe the only way to permanently defeat an Alone is to destroy it in this power-up state? This episode's "monster of the week" was seen regenerating, maybe it wasn't just that one's special ability, but rather a common trait of all the Alones? And Rei has actually been helping them all this time?

Everything is weird in this anime, don't try to find some logic in both the pacing and the way the characters act!
Gramps turned into an animal? - Yeah, no problem!
Giant robots/whatever start attacking out precious machine, so we just transform using a key and become Super Sayan in the process? - Seems legit!
Sudden urge to start a naked choreography midair during a battle while touching and kissing my 2-hour long "friend" in the forehead and merging our bodies into Super-Chick? - YEEEAH!!
A student is using a remote camera to attend school? - Why the fuck not? I do it all the time!!

I think you get my point :P Just enjoy the show for what it is - hot pants + lolis + some shallow action + lolis + ... lolis in hot pants... + hnnngg!

You've forgot biggest one including him - you grandpa is dead, what do you do?
Call the doctor?
Bring him to hospital?
Nope, you put him in the fridge. LOGIC SUPREME!

But it was nice episode, better than earlier... ok kind of weird that little girl knows how to fix that big watever-it-is but let it pass for now.

It will be nice to see what's wrong with Rei - she doesn't seem to be bad, she could just attack out pantsu-rangers insted but she does not. So probably some backstory here... docking... and she will be best friend of them.

I think we'll get our last one next ep. Likely will be black or purple. Over all this ep seemed a little rushed, what with a shelterd PC girl becoming BFF's with people she just met. Didn't mind this ep though, I wonder what the next docking form will be. Some sort of ranged combat likely. Make you wonder if there is like a super all girls combined form.

Umm.. Vividyellow is Ranged Combat.
The missing one is the overkill/ultimate/special attack.

The pacing was better than for last week, but I feel it's still lacking. All these single introductions and dual stage transforms are leaving the background unfilled. Hopefully that will be resolved soon.

What I want to see is if all four (or 5) can be docked at once, and what form it would be.

The Megazord? It would only seem logical. If there isn't one I will be utterly disappointed. Maybe they could dock by doing midair Oral Train..! o.O

Vividyellow best vivid fusion so far.

God, I can't believe how random this show can be. But then it throws out stunning visuals and yuri and I'm all over it again. At least I can say that two things are pretty obvious after having watched the first four episodes.
1. Now I know where the funds for Magi went to.
2. Vividred will sell like hotcakes.
