THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Robots and flamethrowers? LOL. I also noticed the show got a new OP song for this second half.

Samurai Flamenco style I guess. The way they fight is similar to Zoids. I'm still not used to these new characters yet though. Damn that gun...guess we shouldn't underestimate these guys. The villains were ridiculous this episode with that blue color.

Did the budget dive even lower or something, because the entire OP song was basically recaps and character art.

Can the monsters get even weirder, *suddenly game console monster* apparently they can.

I left all logic and sanity in the first season, my advice is, so should you.
At this point, jumped the whale is more likely and that's not an exaggeration.

lol dick beam turned on of the MMM monsters andit looks like the Flamengers are getting closer.

Wonder if the final boss is after the 64 war gods? Or will it parody something else from the super hero genre?

The villains are just way too random now lol. Nice seeing the Flamengers improving their teamwork.

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).

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. ( "What does this battle mean to you?" - "If I write an autobiography, it'll be a best-seller." ).

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.

i dont know. its stopped being watchable the momennt he became a real hero. until then it was fun to watch.the weapons and gadgets he used were original and fun (even tho the guys he fought already were ridiculous ) but this has gone beyond lame in this episode.

its probably time to drop this.

Enjoyed the OP, the ED, the gratuitous use of Engrizh and the fact that Mari is staying with Goto. The rest I watch in mild amusement but mostly facepalming disbelief.

Like Kerozzin pointed out above, I get the feeling that Goto's girlfriend could be the final boss. Too much is made of her and that darn umbrella for her not to show up at some point and be important.

Mizuki needs more screentime, Her gorgeous eyes are missed.

I'm guessing from the opening that this Super Sentai stuff is gonna stop in a few episodes. They probably made real animation for the 2nd opening but it would spoil the next twist, so they threw this together until this arc is done. Im thinking that this anime will end with Masayoshi going Super Saiyan.

Does the studio have too much money or something that they're trolling people for fun? It feels like they're purposely wrecking it now, no sane person working on this and watched the episode in its entirety could say they're proud of the work they did. The highlight of the episode was finding out Mari is okay, the sentai crap bored me like hell, not that there's anything wrong with sentai but there was like zero effort and Masayoshi is so incredibly boring now.

I love the new opening by FLOW! Its awesome.
The new ending is quite nice too, but Date Time is still more catchy and better. I need to listen more to the new ending to like it more.

To the episode... yup, this anime is totally sentai now. Masayoshi has united the Flamengers now. I really wonder how far they can go with this sentai setting now for the remaining episodes. The deluxe weapon was... ridiculous. Hahaha.

Also, there is a Miku version of the MMM34! Hahaha.

And... Mari is living with Goto! My god. Seriously, they need to reveal who is Goto's girlfriend.

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm I was a big supporter of all the changes, loved it still as a 10/10 show, but now... Ehhh, it's gone down a tiny bit. Too many little things bugging me, especially the fact that the other Flamengers are failing to notice that they're named after Samurai Flamenco, thus why he's the leader. Gotou is basically being phased out, and that bugs me. Mari's just as much a nobody, and the new characters don't really fill their shoes. I still love the show... But not as much. I feel like this is now a 9/10, maybe an 8/10, which is still good... But yeah.

Love the new OP and ED songs, also next episode is called "Night Before the Decisive Battle" , so looks like another final battle is coming pretty soon (either episode 14 or 15)

Boy arcs sure are flying in this show.

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...
