| This exam definitely felt like a high risk challenge. We got to see skills difference between certain characters. It was really interesting to see various characters clash in this test. Kanon for instance showed some of her skills. Felt like Hibiki needed better teamwork and a plan. Kanon looked more annoyed than anyone else this episode lol. |
 |
| It seems Shun is as annoying as ever. The final test to become a full-fledged member had begun. To pass, they needed to steal the five-colored keys held by the high-ranking monsters. Kai Shion, paired with D as part of the Red Team, lacked teamwork skills, and D was already struggling to keep up with Kai right from the start. Blocking their path was Shun Tokita from the Red Battalion. Despite it being just a test, Shun showed no mercy, and Kai and D challenged him to a battle. D getting paired with this guy and in red, of all colors, is just double the fun. But damn, I can't believe I didn't see it coming that that one dude would be Shun xD. So the panda makeup was Shun's attempt to be kid-friendly... I can't even anymore. I didn't expect anyone to pull their punches, but this is more hardcore than I anticipated. I'm always surprised by D's ingenuity in combat; he knows he's just a lowly grunt in the grand scheme of things, but that just means he has to fight dirty. I mean, D using reverse psychology and making it sound like some big-brain play was stupid funny. D made it through the first day of the exams... how he'll get through the next is the question. |

| Fire episode. Almost nonstop action from beginning to end. The start of the final exam to become a full fledged member of the ranger corps, plus we got best girl Hisui introduced AND the animation was really good. we ate. Of course D gets partnered with the worst person possible, Shion, who thinks he knows and can do it all on his own. Their lack of teamwork should’ve cost them, but D’s ingenuity came in clutch against Shun. For an exam, the monster actors weren’t pulling their punches at all. Shun looked like he was gonna kill Shion at some points, and honestly I didn’t feel bad because Shion ran in there so arrogant and left his teammate behind. He needed to be humbled. Hisui beating up Shun for not adding the honourific to her name AND Shion at the same time had me dying. I can’t wait to see some of her best moments adapted. Seiyuu is already killing the role. Day 1 of the exam is finished and D and the others just barely scraped by. Teamwork and coordination is going to have to improve if they want those 5 keys. |

| It's anything goes, Isekaing the Junior First Classes with a truck is approved. If a cadet were to become a ranger, they will absolutely need vicious attacks like that against the immortal Fighters. D prefers deception to charging in like Shion. Using his transformation ability, Angel's drawings and the cloud from the fire extinguisher, he can really divide the Junior First Classes playing monsters who are already pretty rough with each other. |

| Considering how this episode had the opportunity to be really good and tense with all the action there for this test, this was underwhelming. One of the weakest episodes I would say of this show so far. Production looked janky and very rough with the action scenes and movement this time around, the ending post-credits was anticlimactic, and some twists were there in the test that didn't add much to what was happening in the fight towards the finish. For something that had the potential to be fun and thrilling, the whole episode came off as fairly weak towards the end and didn't do enough justice in showing off the skills that they all brought towards this test effectively. There was that one scene with D turning around and it looked godawful with a frame literally missing I think, and some other scenes that tried to look good with movement and different angles but nowhere being polished enough to deliver properly. Even the angle of D running with the angle focusing on him looking janky there too. |
| Damn. This episode was very exciting to watch. Suzukiri finally showed up again. I really want to see her crazy fighting style. Too bad she went away for the majority of the episode. Hope she'll be back. The way Fighter D fought by impersonating Tokita and Hisui was cool. These are the types of dirty tricks I wanna see him employ in his fights. Also, I'm surprised that Tokita is still alive after getting beaten so badly. I guess Rangers are tougher than normal people. gorkthe134th said: The fight in today's episode had a pretty good start, but the end felt a bit... off. First of all there were some plot points that led to nowhere. (Chekhov would not approve of this!) Fighter D transformed to seemingly confuse their opponents, but at the end he confronted Tokita looking like Hibiki. Suzukiri made an appearance, yet was irrelevant to the rest of the fight. Hisui also didn't do much. She was just complaining the whole fight. It didn't matter that Tokita was the one that had the Red Key either. I thought he might pause for a second when he heard Fighter D say "Because of you guys, I get to win this guy again". Alas! It wouldn't make much difference had he stayed dead and someone else be the one to hold the Red Key. It may have even been better if the Keys weren't colored at all. In that case, Suzukiri could have been the one to fight them. THAT would be interesting! Finally, why was it necessary to play the ending just before the climax, only to have the fight end anticlimactically? It's like they said "Next time on Go! Go! Loser Ranger!: Will Fighter D be able to- JK he wasn't. See you next time!!!" I'm not sure if they were trying to troll people who skip the after-credits, or if that was supposed to be funny. Anyway, at least individual moments were good, even if they didn't make much sense in the context of the series. The fight scenes in this anime are weird. Sometimes things just happen or they're very confusing. Also, I agree about the post-credits scene. It had a really good cliffhanger and they just ruined it with the post-credits scene for no reason. |
| Idk if this ep got enough time but some parts looked rough visually, kind of unfinished at times. |
| "Usokubo, I think you're better off quitting the Rangers and becoming an artist instead." - monster who's better off being a harem protagonist with the amount of rizz he's dripping in Watching D relish in his petty grudge against Tokita is way more entertaining than it should be. Also can't help but wonder which specialization group D would land in if he were evaluated without Hibiki's past results. Landing in Yellow would even let him and Suzukiri get more opportunities to co-conspire. |
| Now that was a crazy test day. |
 |
| Yostar really gave everything in this episode, but there were some hard cuts in several scenes. Suzukiri refuses to go to Isekai, Aizome clapped her opponent really fast, Ah, Tokita is back again, i thought he was dead just because of the blow to the head. i think i like Hisui more than Suzukiri, and also Usukubo Angel of course, and what kind of cliffhanger is it so unclear and at the end there is a post credit scene huhh?!  |

| give the girls more screen time please... |
   |
| just felt a bit rushed, i think i remember these events happing a little later in the manga but i could be remembering wrong i guess. visuals definitely took a step down though, this is definitely the weakest episode so far. |
 |
| This scene with the truck and the blonde... XD and the guy, after running into the blonde, asks if she is okay. So we have an exam... the action is interesting, strategy D was very cool. 4/5 |
| Up until now I've had mixed feelings about some changes that have been done compared to the manga... But this time I actually liked how they "compiled" some scenes/dialogue to make it more fast-paced. I'm also a bit disappointed about the animation, but the story keeps being great. (I just wish we had more scenes of D being a vicious gremlin!) |
 |
| man i really love this anime like it makes me feel things it just feels like im back being a new anime watcher also this is my first anime like these previously i watched the romance anime like this but not this makes me excited |
 |
| D, even though he's not that strong physically, is a great strategist. He manipulated everyone during the exam. I liked Hisui, although I find her just as crazy as Suzukiri. |
 |
| Props to D for making good use of his face swapping ability in dire straits as well as taking the other characters impulsiveness to his advantage. It seems like in the rangers many have their own agenda which may or may not be that important. In any case, Suzukiri came back briefly, good since she seems to be the fan favorite. |

| Final Exam Day One, START!! Action packed episode, really enjoying it. Fighter D come in clutch once again with the transformation. If they really wanted to hanging us with that cliffhanger, than that should be it but it continues to the unnecessary post credit scene and making it anticlimactic. But i think they are trolling people who skip the episode as soon as the credit roll. |
 |
| That was a risky move for D to pull off changing faces there. Hisui~~s~san seems amusing Oh no times up. |
| This is getting even better! Hidden gem of the season maybe |

| @Nanami0007 For real! I was so hyped for Kaiju No.8, but this has completely eclipsed it for me. |
|
| D finally made things interesting lol. He fails upwards, what a chad! |
| Perhaps Shion will now work with D since he obviously can't handle Tokita on his own. On a side note I'm assuming that Suzukiri knows that D is pretending to be Hibiki so I think she'll offer an assist. |
| first day and the exam was hard!!! kekeke |
| I'm a bit dissapointed that they've gutted the extensively technical battles from the manga, as well as funny bits of dialogue here and there. I felt like that's what made the manga better than your average shounen. Plenty of anime that try to parody certain genres either succeed in parodying said genre/s, or the parody is surface level but the series is otherwise very well written. The manga felt like it did both, whereas this adaptation seems to be rushing it thereby failing at both aspects. It's still an enjoyable show, but I was hoping for better. |
| LOL Bet they never expect an actual "Monster" would be fighting the "monster actors" LOL . And that other examee girl was so confused at D wanting pictures... Seriously tho... D is constantly avoiding actually getting hit... since if he gets hit, he's "dust" would appear. So, D basically needs to master the art of "Dodging" LOL |
| Nothing Written Here But Us Anime Bunnies *boing boing boing* |
| woooo! that was an intense exam!!! 5/5. |
 |
| I admittedly didn't pay much attention but why's extinguisher dust in the air for five ass minutes |
| I'm sorry, but I think D's plan is doomed to fail. Also did they forget the goal is the key and not beating up the fake monster? All this fighting is a waste of energy. LOL! |
