THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Wow, it continues from last week. Let the mindfuck continue

RIP those officers.
Ah so much weirdness. Let's see here. What was that drama on the road with those ugly beasts? I feel sorry for those passengers having to deal with this. Samurai Flamenco girl's return wasn't surprising to me this episode especially since I know she loves to get into this sort of stuff. The teamwork was fun to watch though. Actually, 4 of them at once gives them a better chance. The end entry of that fight reminds me of Power Rangers lol..

They really went for supernatural fantasy? Or was it all play in play or Hazama's hallucination? Either way it's disappointing.

its actually taking the supernatural path, the episode descriptions of the future episodes confirmed that.

That is unless they really did intend on dragging out this as a dream of hazama's for multiple episodes and then end it when hazama fights the robot from the start. though that isnt gonna happen, so just get used to the fact that this became something it shouldnt have

Evil organization does not seem that strong. Pity those guillotined police officers....

Sakuga seems quite shaky...
So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.

When I look at all the characters, I start to see them all as children. It makes me think it's all a fantasy of some child Hazama.

Either way, It's going to get interesting, I'm pretty sure. Each episode is wildly different, and I think the next episode is going to have us all going "whaaaaaaaaaaat" again.

I seem to be the only one enjoying this at all. It was better when it was more realistic and I wish they would have had an evil organization without the crazy monsters. I don't think this is terrible, not as good as before, but not terrible. Before I would have given it an 9 or 8 but now its more of a 7 or a 6. Maybe it'll become better, still have a lot of episodes left. Flamenco Sapphire <3

Well, seems like I'll be thinking about this as a silly comedy show for now (unless shit gets real later on).

All I'm really excited to see now and one of the main reasons I'll continue is to see Goto's gf >.<

I think there will be much more surprises to come. It was strange to see how silly it became (like how monsters were quickly defeated and how stupid they all looked) at the same time building Masayoshi's heroic self even more. I think this strange shift is done intentionally and will quickly escalate into something even more. And i am eager to see what this show has for us in store.

Sigh... such disappointment. I can't watch this with the same mindset I was watching it before, all the characters are suddenly losing their appeal, it's like a bad comedy act. I like how everyone is taking it easy even though they're being threatened by monsters, which they could make a little more interesting by the way. This will be a hard pill to swallow but I'm interested to see what craziness they will bring up next.

Some people never watched Power Rangers when they were young? Or any tokusatsu shows? Kamen Rider? Anyone?

The show is still a parody, and it's still not supposed to be taken seriously. It's a parody or homage to sentai shows. And it's fun as fuck.

Last episode I was thinking they were going to make it all serious and drop the parody part, but it doesn't seem that way to me.

A lot of people are dropping this show, looks like this shift is not that appealing to the audience. Honestly, I feel like something bigger is going to happen with this story, that is the reason why I am not dropping this. Plus Hazama's new outfit was pretty awesome, especially with that Flamenco Tornado. Anyway, we have 14 more episodes to go, anything could happen at this point, and seeing how Hazama is changing, things might go a darker route.

I do not like the direction this show is going at all. It was a boring episode, the villains are terrible enough not to taken seriously but not cheezy enough to say "it's so bad, it's good" and the supernatural elements ruined the Quixotic element the show had. And even the animation was subpar in this ep.

No having said that, the guy who directed Baccano and Durarara did this, so I'm still desperately hoping that there's some twist coming that will justify this strange turn of events. I'm thinking that there will be some sort of angle like Kazama's hopes/dreams are becoming reality, a Haruhi Suzumiya if you will. There are some strange things like the lack of an appearance of Goto's girlfriend that make me think there should be more to it than there is now.

No wonder why MAL gets such a bad reputation. An anime decides to do something differently and people decide to drop it before giving it a good chance. I'm pretty sure the writers know what they are doing. There's still 14 more episodes to go, not 4. Anything can happen at this point.

I got a feeling that Mari is going to one of the bad guys. She was bored and pretty much gave up on becoming a hero since Hazama took all the monsters. Hazama is changing drastically , completely lost against lust.

That was...pretty damn bad.I barely finished watching the episode.
It still feels like Hazama is dreaming, because everything is just so ridiculous.

If this continues for 3-6 episodes more i'll have to drop it.Unfortunately.

This is really bothering me.. but I will still keep on watching just to see who is Goto's gf. Haha, it was funny when Hazama saw his manager on the bus.

I am still clinging to a very small hope that this anime will redeem itself with the later episodes.. It's such a waste.

This show took a turn for the worst. I'm not going to drop it after all the supernatural stuff since I do watch Toksatsu shows. I just liked how it had realism, and now that luster is gone and replaced with something that seems so childish and just plain bland. I would have preferred them going against an alliance of drug cartels or a terrorist organization.

As for the actual episode, it was fast-paced, not the usual pacing I enjoyed from the episodes before this. The monster fights just flew by, this was a month's worth of Tokusatsu episodes jammed packed into 30 minutes. However, I do enjoy how they are keeping character development which is a strong point. Masayoshi has acquired his dream, but he feels off,as if he lost the glow that drew me in and made me like him as a character. And that was noticed by Goto through his (elusive) girlfriend.

I am sure something else is going on, the writing seemed to be competent beforehand but it is extremely out of character now, the only thing I can figure is that something is going on that will be revealed in later episodes that will get it to make sense.

It feels weird that the monsters are so easy to defeat, almost as if they are meant for Flamenco to defeat....Hm maybe set up for some reason?

Plus, It's funny how everyone was going about their lives like normal even with the crazy starting, and in the meantime, Masayoshi is becoming a little arrogant.

This anime is nuts, but I'm enjoying it for that very reason.
