THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------


I lol'd @ beginning. Dat power rangers.

Funny episode overall though, as someone wants to be a hero after finding a suit! Well, actually everyone wants to cosplay.

THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
This episode was so Power Rangers infested it was insane to see the references just roll up and amend to the following,

HOLY SHIT! The gang is all dressed up and ready to kick Musical Justice around. I really liked that part of this episode. It really brought back some nice memories of the show back in the old days.

About the beginning, the beginning right away gave away the whole Power Rangers notion in the spoiler
and certainly it was nice to see that Wien does have a appreciation for it. However it seems that a package arriving in the spoiler
got him moody. Must be something from his brother.

About Sakai, once done with Wien comes Sakai’s turn in the spoiler
her conversation with her father were nice but I am a little worried over her consumption of coffee and the amount of sugar she uses. Normally I was told that coffee was best consumed at 18 cause it halts a little growth but I never checked that. Regardless it’s true that having too young and too much can impair some developments.

About being back at the club, I liked seeing the gang back in the club in the spoiler
which really started out nice but got better due to Konatsu’s positive vibes.

About the conference, Sawa’s mother in the spoiler
was pretty much the entertaining point of this segment. I got a few laughs out of that random old lady talking but in general Sawa’s mother sure knows how to make it more lively in general. Her expressions were so showing that.

About Sawa’s place, nice to see that Sawa’s mother actually does have Power Rangers suits in the spoiler
but I actually like her tastes in pastries and Sawa’s mother continues to be positive nicely.

Wien’s putting on the helm in the spoiler
along with the visors was hilarious. He looks pretty cool in it but it’s so ridiculous that comedy ensues.

BEST OF BEST! That Sakai ass slap In the spoiler
by yours truly Sawa’s mother herself. Now I guess Sakai is the final victim there and certainly it made for ROFLs from Sakai’s reaction itself.

About the practice, certainly the whole gang was nice to see sing but I find that Konatsu in the spoiler
really livened up things with her poses and enthusiasm much more than anything during that part.

About Wien’s brother, when I saw him in the spoiler
along with the following,

I HNNNNNNNNNGHHHHHHHHHH hard pretty much. Wien’s brother MOE is insane from his looks. The typical Blondie little boy.

About thee end, unbelievable the gang in the spoiler
actually do put the suits on which translates into high pitch comedy. Totally would not see them doing this at all. Sawa/Sakai of all people among them.

Lovely way of achieving success in the spoiler
Konatsu did it from the looks of it and I am damn happy for the gang upon knowing this.

The whole gang looked might fine in the suits.

About the preview, RED TAPE in the spoiler
what is it? What does it involve exactly? How will it change things exactly? Well I for one can’t wait to find out.

This is.. err.. Wien's episode? In a sense, I guess.
Vice principal has a lot of things in her head. They better make this chance profitable.

Next episode preview sounds epic.

Dude, seriously, did you just forgot about it in the last 1-2 episodes? You always be here very soon, and you keep missing stuff in your *review*. I thought you like this show like I do. If you like the show, and you really pay attention to it, I'm pretty sure you won't miss out some detail like that.

IMO this episode was good, but not really great. It's like another episode that paves its way for another climax episode. Also, since I don't really into the super-heroes thing (sorry guys!) I'm just a-ok with it.

Oh wait, I hear someone's coming ...


-----

Ahem! Ok, back to the normal program.

This episode, I like the fact that they reveal more story about Wein. However, it was build up so long that I thought it would be more crucial. It's kinda let down for me a bit, but now I hope that we'll later know why the letter's recipient is not there anymore. (And also, who is 'Sandleitengasse' that send the letter back to Wein)

I really enjoy the opening scene with Wakana, and later on when she get her butt-slapped. Ha! Sawa's mother really loves to do that. Also, I lol'ed so hard at the scene that the cat jumped down and walk on the piano (well, see, even cat can play the piano.) :P

BTW, make sure you didn't miss Sawa x Taichi teasing around the beginning of the episode. That was really cute, and I think that was really on purpose. More Taichi x Sawa please!!

Now, looking forward to more about the letters, and what really made the Vice Principal so concerned like that! (Not really looking for them in the costume, sorry!)

----

One thing that starting to bug me, however, is that Konatsu seems to be in the same outfit all the time. I know she looks very cute in that outfit, but I think I'd like to see her in different dresses as well. If you notice, all of the girls are in a different outfit in this episode.

I was aiming it more towards setup and use. It's not about what we know already but how all of it will be used once again.

I am betting on inspiration being a factor that the Red Tape will help out.

So epic them as "Ganba Rangers". Those outfits and glases are just win. Slightly Wien-centric, yay, but is he all done being Japanese-illiiterate? That's why his character was so interesting and hilarious lmao D: Vice-principal looking down, wonder why...

Can't wait to see them in full force next episode. Maybe Wakana will be inspired by these events to write her song LOL.

I wonder if we get the reason for why that kid doesn't get the mail anymore. I mean, normally, the mail would be forwarded if he moved away.
I want Rambo in a mecha-suit with a laser-chainsaw gun that fires nuclear warheads, fighting the love-child of Predator, Alien, a group of Bangladeshi terrorists, and Satan. (Actually that would be a pretty sick show) - StopDropAndBowl

Atsuhiro was pretty committed the the superhero stuff guess he was really trying for his friend back in Wien he really cares allot about him.
Which made Konatsu's tactless commend not that surprising wether it was a girl.
Still it makes me wonder what kind of life Atsuhiro was leading if he was good friends with a seven year old didn't he have a friend his own age?

This is all we are going to get from Wien, way too short compared to the others? The German grammar was alright but Japanese people have always a hard time pronouncing foreign words.

Okay maybe I am wrong, but I swear that the first few seconds of the power rangers intro parody thing Wein played sounded exactly like cha la head cha la from dragon ball z.
Also what is wrong with the vice principle is she feeling OK? She seems to be nice for once.
Overall not much happened but a fairly funny episode non the less.

The worse case scenario is that kid is dead and Wien will be hurting all over and I don't want to see that.

Anyway good buildup episode. I particularly liked the boys scenes and I'm happy they're at least getting a decent amount of exposure. Wien in his super hero mojo and Taichi bro'ing it out is an entertaining sight to see.

I thought that was his arc. I think after the next episode, all of the MC's problems would be more or less resolved. Then, the last few episodes will probably deal with the White Festival and whatever's going on between the vice-principal and Colonel Sanders.

Whatever gave you the idea that Jun is Wien's brother? Not to mention that the episode made it pretty clear that he is a kid he met in Austria and used to watch "Ganba Rangers" shows with. They are not related or I seriously doubt that the letters would be returned with no explanation.

The real question is: what was the place the kid was living and why are the letters being returned. I figured he was ill or something and it was a hospital of some sort, or maybe an orphanage? I don't know though...

Wien was pretty seriously depressed at the beginning of the show, but the whole shopping rangers thing got him turned around. I expect there is more stuff waiting for him...

I also think that Wakana is going to be a big help to the Vice Principle in her time of need. I think I know what the problem she and the Principle have is, but I will not speculate publicly... Don't want to spoil it if I'm right, and not too certain of it either...

Taichi arc was episodes 2 and 3 when his club and prospects of playing at the nationals, and therefore earning an athletic scholarship, was in jeopardy. Konatsu fixed that for him by making the Tari Tari club, he played in the Nationals, came in 8th, and has an athletic scholarship. (Now he just has to pass entrance exams.)
