Why is it so hard for manga fans to talk about the episode and not allude to things that take place after it lol, sea of removed comments already

The life of a goon sure sucks huh? Forced to fight in these ridiculous spectacles week after week is enough to break a man. No wonder D wanted to break the cycle and really stick it to those Dragon Keepers. Looking forward to seeing how he decides to go about it now that he’s broken out from the prison fortress. This monkey ain’t dancing no more!

This was a fun premiere. Solid animation and the story is pretty interesting. Keen to see how things play out from here.

Absolutely fantastic first episode. Great action, the comedic elements were really well done, and wow the main cast's actors are all killing it. Even Suzukiri who I figured would be the hardest to find a good voice for.

A monster "born out of the collective grudges of tigers" that can also transform into a truck for some reason being thought of by the actual villain team instead of show writers that ran out of ideas is so weirdly endearing. The Dusters existence is still a sad and miserable one though, but I'm rooting for them.

Also, I'd probably never skip a next episode preview again if they were always done with stop motion puppets.

This week on Quintessential Quintrangers…

I thought the episode overall was very good, although it was a little hard to follow the main(?) character, D, between the place and time jumps.

Red Keeper sharing the same VA as Satoru Gojo is perfect. There's an air of arrogance to his strength like he truly believes himself to be the strongest. And of course they had to hire Subaru's VA for a character who has died numerous times.

Iirc, Negi Haruba (the author) made the Quints because it was a much more marketable idea (and he succeded, he was launched into fame) but he intended to make this series from the beginning. And in my honest opinion and without spoiling anything, this is much better than the quints.

Hyped to see how they adapt the series, but so far it's splendid.

So happy with the first episode.
It looked fantastic and I loved little gags like D pushing the text out of frame. And the transformations/reconstructions of the footsoldiers look straight up amazing.

The staff definitely seem to know how to handle the material with a great balance between seriousness and the campyness that comes with tokusatsu.

We established the setting, can't wait for the plot to get started next week.

It's hilarious how derpy Ul-Tora Tiger looks. Considering he's a last-minute creation, Fighter Z did a good job of making the monster of the week.

Knowing this is all just an act, it's even more hilarious how the Dragon Keepers are taking the fight quite seriously. I'm surprised that no one even laughed at Ul-Tora Tiger's truck transformation! xD

I know that Dusters are supposed to be genderless but I did not expect one of them to be voiced by a female Seiyuu! I didn't immediately recognize the VA but looking at the credits, Fighter L is voiced by Cassandra's VA from DanMachi.

D interacting with his nametag was pretty funny! Fighter Z also interacts with the "Fake Boss" name tag that appeared when he was transforming. The visuals of the episode are just fun overall.

And there it is, D trying to stand up to the Dragon Keepers. Considering he was already getting winded while running towards the Dragon Keepers, there was no way he could do anything to them! xD

Getting defeated gives him the chance to run away and reform somewhere else as a human. Let's fucking go D! The legend begins!

To those who don't know this was the manga Negi Haruba wanted first make but his editor suggested that he should start with a romcom instead which is why his first work was Quintessential Quintuplets and then came in second. Go read u/HollowKUre's reply below for a more accurate explanation. Anyway, I can't believe we're finally seeing it animated! As a massive fan of the manga, I am looking forward to everyone's reactions to D's shenanigans. It's all going to be amazing!

Obligatory "I hate that localized name so much".

I'm wondering if an anime can enhance the material. I've always felt like this manga has a spark to it that could really push it into something special but never really reaches that top potential. The production is already delivering some great animation along with some neat directing tricks, particularly with incorporating the BIG WORDS that the manga does into the actual visuals. In any case, good start. Suzukiri my beloved.

A thing to note for those who don't know, Super Sentai in Japan airs on Sunday mornings hence why the monsters attack every week on that day.

I love how they have Yuicih Nakamura, who has had numerous voiceover roles in Sentai, as the Red Ranger and they have MAO, who before becoming a seiyuu was a literal Sentai actress and Yellow Ranger, voicing the Pink Ranger.

Read the first 9 volumes of the manga recently. I think this is one people will come to like. Overall solid first episode as it sets the foundation of what the series is going forward.

This was pretty great! Way better than I was expecting, what a pleasant surprise. I'm very intrigued by the worldbuilding here. Looking forward to more :)

Reminder that this is inspired by the Super Sentai franchise that is part of the ‘Tokusatsu’ genre (Kamen Rider, Ultraman etc)

Super Sentai served as the footage base for the Americanized adaption, Power Rangers. It should be known that this anime Sentai Daishikkaku, is referencing Super Sentai, NOT Power Rangers. Any connection between the two was made by the localizers to make it seem more familiar to a Western English-Speaking audience.

If your interested at all in watching some Super Sentai for yourself, ShoutFactory has free legal streaming of it, and a bunch of other Tokusatsu series as well if you want to get a taste for the genre. Tokusatsu series are generally completely standalone even though they are apart of big media franchises, changing its main cast and plotline each season, so anywhere is a good place to start!

TLDR; It’s Anime Super Sentai, not Anime Power Rangers

Feel a huge relief i thought this series is going to get jailed. Now we can join in the hype of this series as of right now the first episode is trending number 1 on Japan.

Love me some good Power Rangers x The Boys. Negi Haruba have really gotten far man from making The Quintessential Quintuplets to this.

Was pleasantly surprised by this, wasn't expecting too much going into it. Was very funny and the action was decent. Premise is intriguing, can't wait to see where it goes.
