¶ Loser Ranger Plot Analysis
what's good , nerds ? It's jet black extreme and we are back at it again with another episode of the zone podcast . Uh , today's topic is go go , loser ranger or uh , ranger , reject . Uh , whatever your prerogative is on the title . Without further ado , let's go ahead and zone in on it . Kokugatsu Listen , hear me out .
Some people will say that , at face value , loser Ranger is like what if the Power Rangers acted more like the Seven from the Boys ? But honestly , I wouldn't give it that much credit .
I wouldn't either , to be honest , I agree .
It's like because with the boys they had so much going on . You know how they have this dance to where they're pretty much picking on both sides of the blue and the red , the left and the right , blah , blah .
They got that whole shit going on and the only thing that loser ranger got going on , as far as like both aspects , is they have the five people and the colored outfits and the fact that these guys aren't exactly heroic and there are people that's trying to take them down . That's about it . That's the extent of that comparison .
Outside of that , I'm like , like it's kind of its own thing . It got its own thing going on . Uh , for starters , let's just go ahead and talk about the plot a little bit .
So , 13 years ago , you have this villainous army of evil and that's the shit I'm talking about to where , like , they're calling themselves monster , they're calling themselves this villainous army and I'm like my gripe is , if you're going to be bad guys , give us the nuance that maybe you're not that bad , like .
That's like I'm gonna say this when I do the transformer review to where , how the fuck are you gonna convince me that you guys are not the bad guys when you call yourself Decepticon ?
I'm just saying that's a whole topic for itself . Don't worry Me and Talos , we got you on that one because there is a reasoning into that . The naming of itself is not to describe them , but to describe the issues . That's going on . It's actually a reason for it . The term is a play-by-play Like deceptive . Cons is not one word , it's supposed to be two .
That's the best hint I can give you until we get into the review .
Yeah , I mean , I know , but I'm just saying to where I'm like , if that's what you're calling yourself , you're not on the right path . In other words , like I want to believe that if you have this organization and you just name it something to where , OK , well , it doesn't sound villainous and you know what I mean .
That's all I'm saying , that's all I want to say it sounds villainous .
No , it sounds very villainous , I agree .
It's like two on the nose . I'm like y'all not even trying to at least trick us into thinking that y'all might be good people . You know no-transcript .
And you got this super sentai squadron , known as the divine dragon rangers or the dragon god squadron , dragon keepers or they're called dragon keepers , and I'm like yeah , like you put a short there called Dragon Keepers , and I'm like , yeah , like , ah , guys , guys .
Come up with something , just come up with something simple and stick with it , bro .
Yeah , listen , come on , y'all doing too much with these names . But , uh , the dragon keepers , and they have these weapons called the divine tools or divine , you know Whatever they call them shits . And the funny thing About these divine weapons Is that they don't look very Divine . It looks more like Some of these weapons look like they break from hell .
You know , like almost like a it gives me witch blade vibe . You know what I mean .
Like as long as I wasn't the only one that got that feel , cause I was confused . I was like these don't look like heroic weapons . This shit looks evil .
What the heck is , in my look At least in Kaiju number 8 , when they made the Kaiju into weapons it looked like , okay , well , at least they look like divine weaponry , at least they look like they can do something , at least it looks like weapons that heroes would be wielding .
But it just kind of goes to show that you know they have a divine weapon for show , you know , when they're doing their exhibition , their weekly exhibition for the folks .
But then the real weapons , yeah , I'm like you should look like you ripped them straight out of a drag , like you ripped them straight out of monsters and just started using monsters to kill monsters . That's what it just . It does not look heroic , it doesn't look anything like that and I think that's supposed to be a point , like obviously we're going into this .
You , if I'm you , and I we have not read the manga , so I was . In most cases , manga is further along most things . I'm like okay , gotcha manga's further along , we're gonna see . But it's just outside of knowing that there's a bunch of stuff that doesn't make sense and to me that's not a good way to start off the first season right and keeping it going .
So , the evil army they got defeated within a year of them invading and then all the executives got wiped out . Uh , the remaining , which is more most likely the foot soldiers are being forced to reenact their defeat to the gatekeepers in front of a crowd of spectators every Sunday .
And here's my thing Remember that power ranges um comparison I try to make , imagine the putties from the fucking original um power rangers season . I would say the uh other like foot soldier type creatures in the other season . But these guys look aside from , you know , the bandana and whatnot . They look more like the putties , but with black instead of gray .
So there's that . But these guys are built different to where they can shape , ship and they can regenerate to a point to where they're almost immortal , like the only way you can kill the foot soldiers .
If you had a divine tool that the dragon keepers got , or a dragon , or a divine tool replica , I think that like , at least like neutralized the regeneration problem . Yeah , aside from that , you know one of the put soldiers D , he got tired of this shit , so he's like you know what ?
Fuck y'all , I'm gonna fight against the Dragon Keepers for real , and I can't do it directly , because they're just gonna keep stomping my ass every fucking time . So I'm like , okay , I need to be more crafty about this . You know what ? I need to infiltrate from within and try to swipe their divine tools and then I can fight them and shit .
But you know what ? That's pretty much the plot
¶ Critiquing Loser Rangers Animation and Plot
. Kogiasu , what's your general feel for Loser Rangers so far ?
Like I said earlier , this is not I can't say it's a good first season . This is one of those ones that you . I want to say that maybe I just over-hyped it up myself , like oh , we know we're getting the old Sentai thing and maybe we just over-hyped it up .
But I went back and I had to re-look at some stuff and I'm like , let me look at it now that I've already seen it . I went and watched a whole different anime , not even one that I really really like , like that , but just a whole nother anime , just to kind of like one that got a pretty decent reviews .
And then I went back and I was like , no , this anime really just does not hit like it's supposed to like , at least what I don't . I don't know , I can't say whether it's what I think it's supposed to or anything like that . It's just it hits different and , to me , not the best way .
Like the simplest breakdown we have into this yes , the divine weapons automatically , okay , give a feel of maybe our heroes are not so heroic . Okay , fine , I don't mind that . That's a cool thing to me into that . Maybe we'll get more of a background , background story into those divine weapons a little bit later on . Okay , I will just look past that .
But then we look at the characters . When I tell you the pacing of the anime of the first season , yeah , because I'm sorry that fucking pacing was like yeah .
It felt like , to a degree it was getting a little too convenient in some areas to where Okay , I know I'm jumping , but the fact that when Excuse me , I'm trying to get his name right Peltrola , hold on the boss , peltrola , hold on Peltrola , that's right , peltrola .
When he killed the Blue Keeper , and you know how , with the Blue Keeper , he pretty much fall dead on his armor Kind of like disappeared , yeah , okay , fine , fine , fine . Kind of like Disappeared , yeah , disappeared , okay , fine , fine , Fine . But it's like next scene .
After all that happened , everybody already know that he died and that the boss monster killed him . And I'm like sitting here , like how did y'all know that already ? Now , no , no , no , listen , listen .
I would understand if it was like one of those things to where some spiritual gravitation or whatever , to where it's like almost like a disturbance in the force , where like , oh , you can just tell that the Blue Keeper fell in battle . Okay , if you had something like that going on , fine , I'll let that slide . But how did you know that ?
The boss must I , how do you I , just the way , know that the boss must I ? How do you I ? Just the way they paced , it was a little too fast .
It's almost like it felt like , um , they skipped some scenes where , um , some of the dots could have connected better you know what I mean to where it just seemed like y'all moved um story along a little too fast .
To where , like , uh Like also with this one chick , the one chick that was Hanging out with D and Sakurama I'm trying to remember her name , don't help me with this one Suzuki , now she , she's one of those characters where I'm like , alright , she's giving me Makima . Those characters where I'm like , alright , she's giving me Mockin my vibes .
To where I'm like it was something about the eyes . To where I'm like you're up to something . I don't know what it is , but you're up to something .
Bruh , I thought she was a putty . I'm not gonna lie . I may not putty A fighter .
That's the weird part . I'm like is she a fighter , is she a boss Monster like I don't know , I can't .
When we meet SX , you can see it in her eyes Okay , she's a fighter . But then you see this girl . You're like bruh , is she a fighter ? I am curious , I need to know . Like I am lost .
It's almost like , okay , you thought she was going to be one of those characters where she's going to be friends with D and Sakurama and all that . By the way , it did not play out nowhere near like what I thought it was going to be , where I'm thinking , okay , this guy , he's going to infiltrate this organization .
Of course , I kind of knew that he was going to form some sort of attachment to some of the people along the way . Uh , kind of like how , with uh kawka and uh kaiji , number eight , uh , even though he wanted to actually join , to actually be a hero and shit .
The point being is that , yeah , he's gotta uh do this whole uh double life type thing to where you gotta keep a secret . But you know that secret got blown anyways . But the way they did it in um loser ranger , I'm like his . His cover isn't completely blown , but it's almost like his cover gets blown almost every other episode .
It's almost like static all over again , my dude it's like . It's like your cover gets almost every fucking time people keep finding out and it's like it's either they're an ally and it's like , oh well , don't worry about it , I've been wanting to take down the rangers anyway . Like wait , what you know ? It's almost like a little too convenient To where .
It's like either they find out and they're like , alright , I'll keep your secret , or they find out and die that part Literally like alright , I'll keep your secret , or they find out and die that part , literally Everything .
Just it's like plot armor to an exceptional degree and it just doesn't make sense at all whatsoever . So it's like it's a lot .
It's honestly a lot , so um , I'm sorry , but I'm kind of all over the place with this . Uh , at this point , how are you ? Feeling about those uh , how are you feeling about the blend of 2d and 3d in this show ?
okay , I'm not too upset into it , I'm not too upset because one thing about it like yeah some of the animation . The animation is not horrible . Like I can work with that animation , it's really . It's decent
¶ Confusing Plot Twists in Animation
. Um , I wouldn't like if they stuck with one thing , especially because , in fact , like I mean , most action anime kind of just sticks with 3d , and if you , usually , if they do kind of have a switch , they'll switch 3d only for the action scenes .
And this one is like it became predictable every single time that it switched , every single time that , uh , the fight would go from them having a conversation . It was switched to 2d style and so even if you , if you see it switched to 2d style , you automatically know they're not about to throw hands you just know this now right off the bat .
So it became very predictable . So it was like , okay , this , this is not about to be a fight scene , this is going to just be a long conversation . Then it hits 3d and then boom , okay , now we're there .
So it felt I don't mind , the animation is fine , but the use of it became predictable , so I don't , I don't , so I can't really , I can't say I hate it , but it frustrates me because of how it messed up the pacing to me onto that too .
Going back in for the pacing , because one thing that I mentioned as far as about the Blue Ranger , this is how confused I got with the fucking Blue Ranger . Okay , literally the backstory . Yes , when is when the backstory hit ? So here's the thing Like most people , you'll get a backstory in their dying scene or right before they're about to die .
This dude , all of a sudden he's fighting Peralta , he's fighting him . We pan off to a whole other fight scene with our main character and the cadet squad fighting him , fighting another clone , and then all of a sudden we get a blue background and then this is the whole background character .
This was the previous blue keeper and this is how the new blue keeper came to be . And then we get introduced to a whole nother boss monster . So are you watching this ? You thinking , oh , we're introducing a whole nother storyline . There's nothing to say . Oh , this is a background . You don't get that until the end of the flashback .
And at that moment then you're like this is another background . And then they just introduce another off-the-wall thing . Oh , the heroes , the keepers , know that all the monsters aren't dead , because they have an alliance with them .
Wait , see what . What is happening with this show ? What is happening ? No , no , no . The the last episodes where people were saying like oh my god , like some folks on like youtube and whatnot were like overhyping the ending . And , bro , honestly the only thing that happened was you find out how D was conceived .
The day that the Keeper decided to do the whole Avengers thing . You know that one scene from Endgame to where Thanos was just chilling and then next thing , you know , the Avengers come crashing in killing him . It felt like that to where essentially they were like all right , well , um , we just having like group meeting , we're going on discuss world domination .
Next you know that keyword just come busting in , killed on executives . Like all right . So here's the deal . Now your bosses are dead and you work for us now and what y'all gonna do ?
um , here's another thing , it felt like they retconned themselves within the season . And now I'm confused . I'm like wait , what is happening ?
but the whole time y'all saying that , okay , it give you like the boys vibe or Power Rangers , bro , it feels more like Teen Titans Trouble in Tokyo , to where they had Brushel Gun , where it's like , okay , essentially we're gonna keep uh making y'all uh fighty , fight us , you know , kind of for show .
So that way people will think that , uh , okay , we'll still need the dragon , keep us around , even though we've seen like the red key for stopping um criminals from like stealing money and whatnot . But you know , um , yeah , in the flashback backstory , and that was um .
The weird thing too is where , for some reason , I'm thinking like I thought the backstory was taking place in real times , where , like , it was like a yes , that's what I'm saying and I'm like it's so oddly paced you can't tell that there's supposed to be a backstory , like it's badly used yeah , so , uh , that's why I'm saying that , um , the way they dumped
all this shit in the last episodes , where , uh , you find out that they um defeated the boss monsters , uh , these times during the Sunday showdown .
And at the end of it all this shit , you find out a whole bunch of other multiple revelations , like how Renmaru's still alive , but in critical condition , d's team got promoted to full Rangers and , by the way , I kind of like the art for the characters . I don't know .
At least , with the characters , they look like they stand out in a way to like , okay , I'll remember you . Uh , then there's this secret organization that's working within the rangers to take down the rangers . So that's another thing . It's like , okay , so it's not even about um d and the fighters and the monsters and whatnot .
Oh , so we now have a third party trying to backdoor the rangers . Now , okay , okay . And then also , uh , the blue keepers divine , artifact gone missing . But we know who took it . Uh , suzuki , and then tokita . Um , I like how , um they would go . Oh , the panda guy . I'm like he doesn't even look like a panda . What the fuck you talking about ?
Anyways , um , tokita find out that suzuki restore the cartridge to the red keeper is missing , divine artifact . And she was like 40 chest him . To where I'm like , oh so why do you have it like ? That seems very incriminating . I will , um , first we keep that under wraps . I was like damn , she got me .
And and then now d's pretty much just determined to complete the mission to kill all the Dragon Keepers . And keep in mind that he was pretty much doing a whole face-off thing going on with his buddy Sakurama it was Sakurama's idea to where I'm like , hey , man , impersonate me , infiltrate the Rangers .
We're going to have a bet going on to where you're trying to destroy the Rangers , I'm trying to fix the Rangers , and we're going to have that bet going on to see you're trying to destroy the rangers , I'm trying to fix the rangers , and we're gonna have that bet going on to see how that's gonna play out .
So , uh , until then , you know what I'm gonna take the fall , um having his face , um , disfigured and whatnot . He pretty much was left in the force and he was taken in by the rangers .
So , uh , d can have this whole arc to where he yeah , this whole fake persona arc to where he pretty much like Sid Coggin , where he pretty much went to the school just for whatever reason , you know , just part of his thing .
But with him it's like , okay , I need to interpret the organization from within , so I need to like be buddy buddy with these people and I'm really just going after the Dragon Keeper these people , they're fine , and that's what I was talking about earlier to where it's like I'm a monster , I shouldn't care about these surface dwellers , and yet I can't help but
feel something for them .
That part and it's so confusing . And then Sakurama's confused . His whole character is confusing as far as things In the fight , you say , oh , I want to fix the Rangers . Do we understand his backstory ? Oh , he was raised by the second blue , found out that the second blue was not good , and now I'm just more confused . I'm just so lost right now .
Yeah , it's like , the more you try to Piece this together , the more it just feels like Never mind , the more it feels like what were they trying to accomplish with this ? Like um another thing , um double x or xx , whatever you want to call it .
Yeah , xx's character confused the heck out of me too I thought I had an idea of what was going to happen and I'm like I don't , I don't know what's happening it's almost like these characters , like flip-flop switch size at a drop of a hat .
Here's the thing . I guess you could say what makes this show an interesting watch , the kind of show to where it's like okay , it kind of makes you want to keep watching . It's the fact that it keeps throwing these curveballs , but it's more like . But once you go back and think about what you just watched , you're like hold on .
I left this season with more questions than answers .
Yeah , and not in a good way . Definitely more confusing questions than answers , because you're just sitting here like what is supposed to happen here , like I'm actually lost into this . So I binged the series , I binged this , but this was one of those ones . I have to be honest , I literally binged the series . I binged this , but this was one of those ones .
I have to be honest . I literally binged this for the review yeah , I did it too , you know .
No , I was in the same voice , you guys at the moment I heard of this anime , I was like you know what , I'll give it a chance . And then I literally just got through binging the whole season and I'm like what you know ?
What am I watching ?
Yeah , let's talk about XX for a moment , to where okay , see , I'm trying to get this right . So , essentially , she was one of those zealots for the boss monsters , to where she always knew that the boss monsters , to where she always knew that the boss monster was all around .
Like she was like super loyal to Petrola and all the other boss monsters , to a point to where , like , she was like flip-flopping with deeds , where Hifiki Sakurama was having her hide in her closet for some reason and that's another mystery that we need to figure out in season 2 to where like why the fuck is she in your ?
room in the first place how long has she been there like cause ? Literally no one , just somehow or another , no one knows . She's been just been in there and she hasn't attempted to attack him or anyone else . And we're just supposed to accept that as a non , especially considering the fact that , okay , we found out her backstory .
She's one of the original fighters that that left . That was like no , we can't do , I can't do this , no more , I'm not gonna be sitting here doing this . I'm pretty sure some of our bosses are still alive somewhere and stuff like that , okay , got you feels like we kind of have an understanding a little bit .
Then she finds out okay , I'm the last one left . Dang , they killed all the rest of them . That's pretty messed up , okay , so how did you get captured and why have you not done anything yet ? Because as soon , as soon as d shows up , she's like all right , the two of us will be enough , but d has been proven , d and f .
Because before f had died , because in that whole death sequence see , I get the point of it it felt like that death sequence was supposed to be like , and I kind of spoiled , if you haven't seen it , it's kind of like a moment where no , no , no I won't even give it back . I won't even give it that much . I won't even give it that much .
It was supposed to be like a Jiraiya for Naruto's situation , but to me it failed Because it was supposed to be a point of oh hey , this is supposed to help push this main character , this main . This is supposed to help push this main character . This main character is supposed to be good .
This main character , well , not good , but this main character is supposed to get an awakening moment . This is supposed to be your chance to kind of feel like oh , this is my drive , this is my push . I watched someone close to me die and I need to do something about it , and da-da-da-da-da . And then , all of a sudden , no , no .
Then all of a sudden , no , no , he doesn't , he doesn't get the push . He doesn't get that . It's just a . He still wants to be take over the world , but then he's confused . He doesn't know if he wants to take over the world . Now he's . What are you doing ?
like what is happening in the show I didn't get that from that scene to where , honestly , I like that you got that from that scene .
But what I saw it as just a why I say it was a Tony Stark moment where , where Iron man won to , where he said that the most dangerous weapon I'm paraphrasing , I don't remember this line , but essentially for demonstration the best weapons are the weapons that you only need to use once , and essentially that was just a setup for , okay , apparently the dragon
keepers have weapons that can permanently kill the foot soldiers and whatnot . See , that's why I'm saying like , okay , all that shit that we've been doing to y'all for the past 13 years , that was an act of mercy compared to these divine artifacts that we have . So , uh , we could have killed y'all at any moment we wanted to .
But when you see episode 12 , like , okay , well , we don't want to kill y'all Off right away , we Just want to keep our Job . So we're going to have Like a weekly exhibition and whatnot , and joining us now is Talos Gundam . What up , talos ?
What's up Talos .
What up ?
Well , we are . We are kind of deep into the review already , but go ahead and give us your impression of Loser Ranger because , honestly , it wasn't it At least season one it wasn't it Okay . So once again , ladies and gentlemen , boys and girls , children of all ages , at least season one , it wasn't it , Okay ?
So , once again , ladies and gentlemen , boys and girls , children of all ages , your mecha manager Is also your couple manager and I want y'all to know something , right ?
If you are a fan of Kamen Rider Especially some of the fan of Kamen Rider , especially some of the older Kamen Rider Then you know about the troops that fall under the big bad known as Shocker . Ladies and gentlemen , loser Rangers are Shocker Troopers . I want y'all to , ladies and gentlemen , loser Rangers are
¶ Confusing Villain Protagonist Dynamics
Shocker Troopers . I want y'all to understand me very clearly . I know what you're thinking . What does that mean ? What is that ? What is that ? What is that basically saying ? Okay , take a set of video game fodder , right , those normal enemies that you're just like . Okay , I'll see you on my way . Give them their usual stuff .
Then turn around and give them the ability to come back over and over and over and over again , at least for one of them In this case . You know , yeah , this is nothing but shocker . Let's see it Like legit . I want you to understand . I want you to understand . Most folks don't get it .
Most folks are like man , I thought this was going to be so different Because I heard all the speculations and everything else , a lot of people were like I thought this was going to be where the bad guys get to be Rangers and it somewhat is and it somewhat isn't . Because the bad guys are the Rangers . Yeah , like it's somewhat easy .
Because the bad guys are the Rangers . Yeah , like in this case , the villains are the Rangers .
Be honest with you but I don't think there's no good guy in this show so far from my understanding yeah , that's the thing it's like , uh who you supposed to be rooting for ? No one .
I mean the protagonists are clearly the bad guys , but it's like with the quote-unquote good guys , you know , like I said , with the whole comparison , trying to compare it to the seven from the boys , but I'm like I wouldn't give it that much credit because the only thing they got going on Is where it's like okay , I can kind of see how the Red Keeper he's
like ultra violent and I guess if you try to compare Him to Homelander , I'm like no , no , that would be Insulting to Homelander .
You're not wrong on that . That is very true . Also , one other thing , and this is something that maybe Talo , since you're comparing it to Shocker Troops , because , forgive me , it's been that long since I've seen Kamen Rider , so , forgive me , I'm struggling to remember how they compare .
The other thing that gets me is the fact that how in the world has people died from fighters ? Because these things are fragile . Literally , you hit them in the head with a rock . They crack and break . You can grab their arm and crush it . Wait a second . At least the putties in Power Rangers . The putties will mess people up .
They can flip you around , They'll kick you , punch you up , They'll jump you behind .
That's the story , though Right , I'm going to tell you right here , real quick , while this continues . That's the story , though right , that's the premise . We're looking at this through the eyes of a look I want y'all to understand . It's like we're watching Saturday morning cartoons all over again . To us , the putties are .
Remember , when we were little kids , the putties were so easily to be beaten . They weren't that strong . They merely had a foot on their chest . You know not when the hero powers up and the hero basically gets in their suit and oh , it's over with . The putties are easily knocked out , they're gone .
That's what's basically the premise , but whenever the Power Rangers are in their base form , they can still get messed up by the putties . You've seen it happen time and time again . But with these fighters we're just looking at normal people , causing them to break . Dude got hugged too tight , not even by a person who's super strong at that .
He got hugged too tight and his face and arms started to crack . Yes , it's like how much more of a loser can you be ? Even than that , like , wait a second .
And then also another thing that I said that feels like they kept retconning themselves , because we were talking about how it felt like they retconned themselves with the whole beginning of like oh , they showed up and killed all the monsters .
Then , all of a sudden , in a flashback , with the blue ranger , which was horribly placed , very horribly placed , because we both me and jb , thought that this was part of the story , that this was another like c storyline that was happening , and then all of a sudden we found out oh no , this was just a flashback , wait what ? And it was so confusing .
But then we're finding out oh no , the monsters are still alive , they're just mob bosses and they have an agreement with the . They have an agreement with the keepers wait , hold on . So did they not kill them ? All was this . It was just a ploy . Okay , is that what it's supposed to be ? And it just felt confusing .
Then the whole thing with f at the beginning like come on , f , why don't you volunteer ? I will never volunteer to be a monster , I'm never gonna do this . Then an s flashback he was a monster , he was a captain leader . He was a monster leader before . I thought you said you would never do this . All of a sudden you , you did it .
Wait , hold on a second . It's like you're saying one thing , going back saying something else and I'm like do y'all even remember what you said ?
like I'm confused . What's happening
¶ Analysis of Loser Ranger Plot
right now ? The whole point of loser ranger is like , like I said , um before you jumped in talos , to where it just reminds me of teen time trouble in tokyo , to where you pretty much , uh , enslaved the bad guy . Just um for you to keep your job as a hero . You're not really heroes , it's just more like it's just a job for y'all .
This is a paycheck for y'all and let's see when we get that see , okay , so right , like I said , the villains , the villains in here and I'm talking about our main protagonists , this is where I have to say they're the hero , because , okay , hey , one guy in particular .
He's like alright , you could have just killed us off , which is what was supposed to happen . Because what most folks don't realize right is , this is where they say even good guys can become bad .
Yeah , live long enough to become a villain .
Yeah , it's basically where hey , y'all a sentai team , because , literally , they think you like this , because if we're going gonna be legit , right , for those of y'all that's maybe first time watching the anime . This comes from the manga , same manga , and they are an actual sentai team . They are a super sentai team .
The problem with it Is just that they were so strong that they wiped these people out Within a week .
But then we found out , they didn't .
Yeah , like Some of these executives are just floating around somewhere , yep .
And so Therein lies that that get floated around somewhere , yep .
And so therein lies that which also you know , which also is now about to become a problem .
Because if and I want y'all to know , yes , ladies and gentlemen , while it does have just 12 episodes , 14 volumes , if you are , you know , a person who is into manga and stuff like that , um , I want you to know , I want you to know , right this , right here , is going to be that one thing of whoo .
It's gonna be good , it's gonna be one of the ones that's gonna have to take time . It's still , don't get me wrong , even throughout , it's still gonna be where , quote unquote , the villains get kicked in the head , you know . But at the same time , it's going to expose a lot . It's going to expose a lot , and I do mean that wholeheartedly . We have what ?
A hundred , and as of I'm going to say as of right now , may , from about May 16th , 2024 , we have about 132 , I believe 132 chapters . We are supposed to . There are more chapters , but they're not all , like , quote unquote out yet . So we have , we'll have , a total of 144 .
So the other ones are relatively , I guess they I'm going to say they have not just relatively been translated , translated , so they're not fully out yet .
Yeah , okay , been translated , translated , so they're not fully out yet .
Yeah , like , like I was saying earlier , to where , with season one , it's like one of those things where we're gonna have to see how season two plays out before we can say like , okay , we can bump it up to like at least a , b , because right now if I were to grade season one of Loser Ranger I would say a , c , maybe C plus . It's passable .
But , uh , between the pacing and um , some of these characters motivation , whatnot , just feels a little flip-floppy , a little flimsy . It seems like you just get kind of lost and , um , where what's this character's motivation ? Well , where does this character truly stand ? Like some , for the most part , just feels like every other uh episode .
Uh , they just throwing curveballs and whatnot . Like I was joking around how like it seemed like d's um cover gets blown , like every other uh episode .
But the difference is is either he unwittingly find himself a new ally who have their own reason for taking down the rangers , or , if it's like anything like the blue keeper , if you , even if you find out , uh , his cover has been blown , they just end up being dead anyway .
So it's like he get to to keep his secret as long as they're either an ally or they die . So I'm going to say Season 1 is more like a setup for what I hope Season 2 would remedy . Some things where I'm like okay , season 2 was much better .
This is where y'all really need to be as far as the series , but Season 1 was more like a launch point for the whole thing .
I will sit here and say it , be the first to say it . It relatively is , but then it's like how I ? Okay so , and I know a lot of people are going to be like damn Talos , that's fucked up . Like I said , even though this is a quote-unquote , kamarata-esque-like or Super Sentai-like situation , it reminds me of the boys .
Yeah .
I'm so sorry it does . It reminds me of the boys . It literally is just like okay , here we go . This is me of the Boys . It literally is just like okay , here we go . This is one of those tropes again . And let me see . They say it's supposed to get better with the next season . It's about the same . Wait a minute . What the fuck ?
Hold on , wait , wait , wait . There's another season coming out , though . Alright , let me see if this third season works . It's about the same . What the fuck you know ? So this is one of the ones where I literally say 12 episodes for the season . That shouldn't have been the season . 24 should have been .
Yeah , and that's what I'm saying . That's why I feel like the pacing was a little too convenient , a little too fast , because you were trying to pack a whole lot of exposition and shit in 12 episodes where I'm like I feel like y'all were just trying to race to get season two clear , to where it's like , okay , we got enough meat on the bone .
To where we can , uh , automatically get a season two um green lit , and I'm like , yeah , but then we gotta wait like a half a year just for season two , at least half a year , if I'm being optimistic , because they didn't say what month in 2025 is gonna be out , it just said 2025 .
So I'm like , optimistically , I can say at least um january , because a lot of time when shit gets on green lit , like almost immediately , like delicious in dungeon , to where you probably have to like wait like a season , like three , four , maybe six months for the second season to come out .
Or like eminence in Shadow , to where we got two seasons and one year . Sometimes these shows are just set up to where , okay , season one might not be that good , but I swear to God , season two , that's gonna be the one that's gonna be , and I'm like , alright , we'll see we're going home soon .
We're going home soon Because I think , yeah , like 12 episodes wasn't enough . It just it left too much open , and not even so much open until a point of like , oh , it's really got my interest , like I'm curious to know where the storyline is going , I'm curious to know what's happening .
A lot of stuff made me feel lost in watching it and I was like I am actually confused and I don't think this is what was supposed to happen , because it wasn't like confused in a good way . I was confused in the fact that I literally almost tried to . I was like if we were not going to review this , I would have dropped it .
Honestly . I would say the three episode rule really tested me to where I'm like , okay , the episodes . I was thinking like , okay , I'm following y'all . So far I think I got an idea of how this gonna play out . And then , by episode four and shit , I'm like , okay , y'all throwing a little bit too many curveballs , like whoa , what's going on here ?
like yes , then like the whole point , because then you know you get sudden betrayals that happen and you're like , okay , huh , you know we feel just as betrayed as like the main character does . You're like , oh , I thought we was good , that was something , and then all of a sudden it's like , oh , and then also the thing about it , you know , we , we .
The best way of following is that the storyline feels almost just like the main character . How dumb the main character is because he swore at the beginning . He was like oh , these humans are stupid . They have no idea who I am . And literally old girl was sitting here like nah , bro , I know exactly who you are .
It's like I've literally been covering for you since the beginning . It was so obvious .
I was more clever than that so .
so another little touchy thing that I'm going to hit on , and I know y'all ain't gonna like it . This was supposed to basically be reminiscent to Dead man Wonderland , portal , portal , yeah . So I know a lot of people are gonna be like blasphemy , dead man Wonderland , that's gonna make us confused . Oh hey , I want you to know something right .
Dead man Wonderland , for a lot of folks didn't make it confused , but even with its reviews , some people were like it's confusing , I don't know where it's going . The pacing is off , in which , at the time , it was Because Dead man Wonderland Isn't even finished , because if you read the manga which is why I say folks read mangas- read .
Listen . Everybody know by now I've said this multiple times Dead man Wonderland was one of those animes that just broke something in me spiritually to where I'm like how fucking dare you when especially with the ending , the way they ended the anime . To where it's like oh yeah , she was to admit that she's the Redman , nope , cut the credits Anime over .
And then he's like what the hell ? All right , ok , I'm curious . Let me read the manga . First of all , they cut out a lot of shit that happened before the first episode of the anime . They cut out a lot of shit that happened before the first episode of the anime to where , like , there was like way more to it .
To where you're gonna have more backstory about , uh , ganta's friends and shit , um , and whatnot . And then by the time you get after the point where the anime cuts off , it gets way more interesting after that and I'm like where's the rest of it ? Like are we gonna get the rest of it ? And I'm like no , and I'm like , okay , I see how it is .
That pretty much what started the whole thing
¶ Predictability and Confusion in Loser Ranger
. To where sometimes I get a little worried about anime . They come out with only like 12 episodes and then they just leave it off . And now it's getting to a point to where you really just put out a 12 episode anime just to see if it passable enough to warrant a season 2 true and see what it is .
I'm gonna be real with you Loser Ranger is better read than watched .
I can tell . I can honestly tell cause it's one of those ones that we were just seeing . Cause one of the things we also talked about , too , was the fact that animation when you , before you , hopped on Talos was the fact that it was so predictable . This was one of the ones that hit the animation team on . If you see 2D , there's no action .
There's not going to be any action sequence whatsoever . As soon as you hit 3D , it's going to be an action sequence . It became that predictable . If you was in the middle of a fight and it switched to 2d , it's going to be just nothing but conference , long conversation for a minute . Then all of a sudden switch to 3d . Oh , we're now back in action .
And so it's like it became very predictable what it was that you was about to watch and I was like , okay , um , don't think you intended to do that , but it still was . Like it's very , very predictable in that aspect . But other than that , that's the only thing that was actually predictable .
The only thing that you could really follow into was the action sequences . Other than that , you're just like bro , what in the world ? Especially going back in , because the other thing we also talked about was the dragon keeper's divine weapons . The divine weapons don't look anything god like . They don't look like divine weapons whatsoever .
Those shits look evil as hell they look straight out of Dante's Inferno . They don't look like divine weapons whatsoever . Those shits look evil as hell .
Dante's Inferno . Dante's Inferno , Constantine . It looked like you ripped out a dragon's spine and started killing monsters with it . That's exactly it . None of it looks divine whatsoever . And I was like , okay , maybe that's the point , Maybe that's the point , Maybe .
And it's like , maybe that's the point , Maybe it's to emphasize the fact that these heroes are not as heroic as we think per se . I think , even for me , the most enjoyable part , the most shocking and enjoyable part for me in the entire first season was when they sat down to eat .
The first time the Keeper sat down to eat , not the second time after Blue had died , but the first time they sat down to eat and Red was having to own up to everyone . I messed up . He said so , my divine weapon's gone . And then his first command was like oh , you know what ? You should resign , you should do this .
And it was like all over his face about it and he was was like you know what you right , he said . But my position I can't just give to anybody , I gotta give it to someone strong . Are you stronger than me ? And dude was like uh , they said oh no , he was talking all that good shit .
What happened to the good she was talking , grabbing my throat , slamming him in the wall , and then everyone's like yo , yo , just kind of chill out , just chill out . And he and he heard exactly what they said and didn't hear what they said . They pulled up that one fist smashed dude into the wall .
Blood splattered everywhere on his glove , his legs , his arms , even still upset about the fact dang , this was a costume , said man , I can't even pull up my real costume because I ain't got my divine weapon . No more , this , that costume was blood , so difficult to wash out of this shit then goes back to eating .
To eating Now , just as I was just saying , and there was like yeah , I lost my appetite , bro , like I ain't got time for this shit . That was the most outlandish and probably the most enjoyable part of the entire first season to me .
Otherwise , I was like bro , a couple of mine when I was talking about how weak the fighter was when Fighter D went up against the other cadet . No , not the cadet , but you know he was a .
He was like third lieutenant or something like that , not the one that he managed to get a lucky hit in and managed to steal divine weapon and bash him in the head in , but the one that actually activated his divine replica because he had a cartridge , which I found very interesting too . Okay , so you can get cartridges Was it , the one with the sight .
Yeah , yeah , yeah .
So he goes up , he transforms his arm into a blade , literally . My wife was , just like everybody , want to be Full Metal Alchemist , I said I know right I laughed so hard when she said that too . So he turns his arm into a blade and then he hits the dude and there's no cut on his clothing or nothing whatsoever .
That's what also got me out when he said so how weak are you ? To the point that you can't even damage cotton ? I can get a regular blade and cut cotton .
No , no . It reminds me of who JJK with me was like all you niggas is sorry . It's like you got a katana and couldn't cut butter , even if it was melted . You just sorry .
That part . I was just sitting here like dude that was supposed to slice through him , bro , you didn't even scratch him . A toothpick could have did more damage to him than that . What is happening ?
I'm going to say it like it is . I want folks to know wholeheartedly it does get a little bit . I'm going to be real with you . It gets better . It does . That's what I was saying in the beginning .
I'm hoping it gets better because season one would have got it though .
It would have wasn't . It gets it better , and the reason why it gets better is because the people that play a very big part in it is those of the colorless rangers .
Yeah , I like the colorless .
The colorless faction plays a big part , so just know that .
Yeah , because I'm thinking like the way they were setting up all these different characters . I'm like , okay , it's not going to be just about D and his mission to take down the Dragon Keepers . We're going to pretty much follow these guys too as they rise up in the ranks .
But some of them have their own agenda for why they're doing all this in the first place , and I want to see that explored in later seasons so I'm going to hope it gets better , because , yeah , this stuff got so confusing and then for Charlton , his power got confusing as hell too , because at one point it felt like you could keep track of how many clones he
. Like you couldn't keep track of how many clones he had , and then you lost track of how many clones he had . Yeah , it was like okay .
It kind of made me remind me of Duplicate , from Invincible to where it's like all these clones , and you don't even know if the real body is here . But then he was like saying , oh well , surprise , surprise , they're . You don't even know if the real body is here . But then he was like saying , surprise , surprise , they're all my real body .
It's just that you just have to kill All of them Some shit and I'm like , okay , alright , whatever , buddy .
Can we also talk about his design change ? That threw me off too . He first gets introduced with these angel wings and a cape and he has like a glowing mask , like straight out of From the prayers and shit like that .
The fact of the matter is , first of all , he claimed to be God and , second of all , boy , you look like Adam from Hazman Hotel .
Right , okay , and you get
¶ Confusing and Inconsistent Loser Ranger Analysis
that . And then all of a sudden , like he gets , he starts making his clones and then he turns into like fucking Griffithith from guts , from berserk , and you like nigga , wait what ?
what is your ?
face , yeah , and I'm like , wait , hold up . So was that not your ? Was that a mask ? Like , how did you cover up your face ? And how did you see the eyes blinked , the glowing eyes blinked , the glowing mouth moved when you talk . How did you do that shit ? Because now I'm confused . I thought that was his real face and all of a sudden , oh no , the same .
No , you , just you just have to accept that there's no one even come as much , as this show also had comedy , that they pointed out random shit , because fighter f pointed out a bunch of random shit that happened in the show . That was one thing I'm like .
How is no one going to comment the fact that his face is now different , not just his face , his whole body is completely different . Like what the fuck ? Everything has just changed . Was this design A choice ? And then went to design B ? Because you just I don't like design A , no more , we're just going to completely redesign .
I'm confused , so I'm going to say this on it and I'm confused .
So I'm going to say this on it and I'm going to I'm literally going to just be open and honest about this . So this shouldn't have been an anime . Why ? Because you already just got A stage play announced and I'ma be real with you . This is more so of a . It's more so just the poke fun At Super Sentai and Shocker .
Like more so poke fun at Super Sentai and Kamen Rider , especially , in particular , at the villains Like Shocker , like it's more so about Super Sentai and Kamen Rider , especially , in particular , at the villains Like Shocker and shit , like oh look , hey , now you're in Slay , you know that sort of thing . It's more so about them . But I'ma be truthful and honest .
If you want to go the anime route , yeah , you can slightly make it funny , and I say slightly . But this is the point where this shouldn't be for kids , because this should be way darker than what it is , or at least what you're showing . It should be way darker than what it is .
The reason why I say that is because , yeah , everybody is coming back , oh no , we're killing . It should be way darker than what it is . The reason why I say that is because , yeah , everybody just comes back . Oh no , we're killing them all . Oh okay , they can come back Because they basically got immortality To a degree .
They just have to respawn from their home base .
Yeah , they basically just have to respawn from their home base Wait , but then they don't have to respawn From their home base Right , but then they don't have to respawn from their home base .
That was the confusing part when they die they immediately go back to , so they can choose where they go to .
Because every time Fighter F like dusted himself , like when Blue when the first time he fought against the keepers , when Blue had hit him with his divine weapon and blowed him up like a balloon , he blew himself up and just teleported himself somewhere in .
Well , that was the premise before shit went sideways .
But you remember , but Fighter F also died in the arena in the first episode and teleported to a building , to the top of a random building .
See , it's supposed to be where he's the exception to everybody else who's supposed to teleport to their home base . He's supposed to be the quote-unquote exception and he don't know that you see the confusion that we all have .
No , no , no , hold on .
He don't know that he's relatively Okay . So slight spoiler maybe , but he doesn't know that he's supposed to be a big bad . And what I mean by a big bad ? He's not a normal grunt , he's not normal .
And because he's not normal , you know the enemy tropes Like because he's not normal , okay , he's basically the dummy that don't know that he could literally wipe out the entire team .
I'm going to have to really see that play out , because I've already pointed out his fragile body , how weak he is , the fact that at the very beginning he literally was like , oh yeah , I got this super run and then he's got this little wiggly Napoleon Dynamite run thing .
Yeah , because like legit , I'm saying they're playing it like it's a damn trope for against soccer troops and shit , because you look at them and see how they run , and see how the putties run and everything else . Then you're like , oh shit , okay , I else . Then you're like , oh shit , okay , I see what you're talking about hold on .
Can I also mention , before I forget , how to a degree they do break the fourth wall , like you know , how they have a lot of those uh name cards .
Um show up on the screen with uh kanji and whatnot , and then d is like , hey man , get this out of the screen so , yeah , we had like this , that's what I was mentioned like there is some funny tropes into it , but it just doesn't stick long enough to be like , oh yeah , this is , this is what I'm really sticking around for , like I'm sticking around for
these funny tropes . It's just , uh , it felt funny , but it was like what do you want to be ? So if talis is saying no , this needed to be more serious , then it should have stuck with a more serious tone , even if you had some comedy in it .
It really should have because , legit , at least by his first season , episode 12 , it should have been where hey , you need to make them hurt , you need to make them hurt , kill Off the Ranger . Hold on , hold on , make them hurt to loss a ranger .
Hold on , hold on , hold on . Wait a minute . Now that I think about it , I'm going to have to give your wife some points , because when she said that on comment about oh , they trying to be full-blown- alchemists . But hold on Piggybacking off what Talos was saying , at least with full-blown alchemists , they had the balance .
Piggybacking off what Talos was saying , at least with Full Bound and Alchemist , they had the balance . Where they had pain , they had comedy bits in the right places . They had so much world building and shit to where they slow cooked the motherfucker , they slow cooked the world building , they slow cooked everything to perfection . That's what they need to do .
What Loser Ranger did was that they were trying to jam pack too much shit in one season with only 12 episodes where I'm like , bro , if you just gave the 24 , like you did with the listen , well , not the same people , but I'm just saying like , um , just like what the listen done is where it had the 24 , if you , if loser ranger had the 24 , I wouldn't
have been saying shit , because I feel like we get more fleshed out that way .
Yeah , like , look , you know I understand you want to have some sort of comedy to it , but you're more so confusing than being comedic . So it's like , hey , as far as this goes , it should have been a little more serious , because you're going to do 12 episodes Cool beans . The 11th or 12th episode kill a range of y'all .
Kill one , I'm telling my whole heart , kill one , one . And once you kill one and they're like oh , we can die .
I mean , they kind of sort of did with on blue , but no , no , because the previous book , the previous blue died Like in the flashback .
See , here's the thing . Right , okay , look , the previous blue died . But truly it was like yo we looking at that like relatively it was negated . If y'all look at it and , being truthful , it was negated . It wasn't relatively something that hit them and made them feel like anything , it just oh , no , yeah , you know they're getting out of line , you know .
So now we gotta straighten this out , like all that .
No you didn't feel any emotional weight from um blue pathway . It just felt more like , oh well , shit , the Blue keeper passed away . What are we going to do about it ?
Yeah , like because Red doesn't care about nobody but himself anyway . So he automatically said I need somebody strong .
No , no , no . Red was only mad because with Blue he had the perfect height for their victory pose . That's the only reason he cared .
No , no no , that's the current Blue , that's the current . I'm talking about the previous Blue . Oh , the older Blue , yeah , the older Blue in the flashback . He didn't care , like when Blue died , when the new dude before he became Blue , like when he was knocked unconscious by that monster , which also was crazy enough that the monster didn't kill him too .
And I'm just like , bro , do these monsters just suck at killing ? I don't understand . Except for Peralta . Peralta wound up wiping out what'd they say , 560-something people . So he's the only one that got a pass from me on that .
But other than that , we're just sitting here like , um , this dude , you failed at killing people or something , because he just he gets knocked unconscious . And that's when I'm like , and all of a sudden he pops up in red and red's like , oh yeah , you got knocked unconscious by a monster .
I'm like , bro , y'all working together , some shit , like what is happening , so confusing into that . But then he mentions that the previous blue died . He's like , yeah , that old man died and I know you was close to him . But I don't need nobody weak . You seem strong , so I need someone to kind of fill in that roster . Can you do it ?
Can you be strong enough to do that ? Do you think you are ? You want to get revenge or some shit like that ? Just really Gaslight him about it .
Or , or , or , or , or , or , or , or . We can have your ass locked up for all those crimes you did .
¶ In-Depth Character and Plot Analysis
That part .
Like I said , like I said this relatively , like I said this relatively more so , still , on the comedic lines , it wasn't nothing that just made them be like , oh you know . No , like I said , you truthfully want this to be where it is . Hey , shocker has made folks literally sit the fuck down because they're like , oh shit .
They're like oh shit , they're actually fucking serious . Like , no offense , if you're going to do this and you're going to do this off of a Sentai team with some big bad villains and whatnot . All right , cool , quit , trying to pull from a main serious villain and basically you're picking on Americans .
Actually I'm from a main series villain and basically you're picking on Americans . Actually , I'm gonna be real with you you're picking on the . American versions very true cause they're more so comedically funny and they relatively fuck themselves up more so than Super Sentai villains . But nah , look , I get it .
I understand , but you want to be serious , you want to catch the eye that the people that relatively is supposed to catch the eye of kill one . And I'm talking about kill one to the point where the entire , the entire divine Dragon team literally is like , oh shit , there's now fear in our hearts .
We can fucking die because somebody is here that can literally whoop our ass . That's what should have been there , not stop Fuck . That one died . Oh well , we can replace him .
Yeah , because , when you think about it , aside from the newest glue , the only character , the only dragonkeeper that I would say I'm like you would think would have like a effect on the Whole ranger force Is red , because he's the only one that they even focused on .
Like , okay , they did a little bit with ping , but the only thing you really know is that , oh , she was the girl that grew up with Uh sakurama Um , his sister , to where she's not in a wheelchair when she's out of the suit , but when she's in the suit , yeah , she got uh the legs and what not , but she also has the brother complex . But that's about it .
Other than that , red is the only real threat that we know of . The other Rangers Are just there , as far as I know .
And Pink . I don't even want to get started on Pink and her God damn like oh my god , my little baby brother , that whole damn ancestral complex that has to pop up in like damn near every fucking anime now .
Why .
Yeah , yeah , we didn't need that .
It was unnecessary , it was not needed and we got it . Now .
We stuck with it like damn bros fuck I mean it would be more interesting if , for some reason , um pink had , like some odd feelings for d and some different ways where it's like , not like , oh , she just Incidentally , or Whatever .
This is when she just have feelings for her brother , where I'm like , no Like if you're trying to Angle in the whole Ship thing going on , just Not the whole brother route , just not the whole brother complex .
We don't need that I even put in this aspect here , out of all the Rangers , all the keepers sorry because we keep calling them Rangers- but of all the keepers that I probably have respect for , the only one that I even have some type of respect for , is Yellow .
Yellow doesn't like , put his cadet in his place Because , let's be honest on this , I already lost respect for Blue Beforehand anyway , cause he just seemed to be that whole , his whole story of the fact that , like his first Ranked cadet , literally had Said that oh , you can't talk unless I tell you to , because you Don't know how to fucking talk to people .
You only talk when I say so . So she gets her ass damn near killed . She's telling him everything , go get him . And he's just standing there and she's like oh yeah , that's right , you can talk . Now what the fuck does him having to talk have to do with killing a monster ? What the fuck is that ?
What the goddamn thing , bro , you know what it reminded me of ? It reminded me of that movie , jet Li Fearless , I think it was . No , no , it wasn't Fearless , I forgot which one it was , but it was one where Jet Li was like the mafia .
The mob boss had trained him to be like a dog and then the only way he would tell him he had to tell him to kill . He had to take his collar off . So kill . He had to take his collar off . So as he took the collar off , then he was only unleashed . That's what it was .
Gently was unleashed , and so he was unleashed and the monster within came out and he would just be like this unbeatable badass that was just up this . And I was just like so you had to wait for the cut you had , you had to wait for the command from your master . And then I'm sitting here too and I'm like , just , is she a girl like ?
I was also confused until , like the whole training regimen , when Peron Troll had to like admit , he said like , oh no , I know how old you are . You look like you young , but you really just an old hag . And I'm sitting here like the fuck , wait , did we do this again ?
She's a really old person that has the body of a young person and now and so we have to assume that she's leaked , she is of legal age , even though it's obvious she has some going on with blue . Really , really , there was too many , there was just too much , it was entirely too much happening to that one blue I , I was aggravated as hell .
I'm like Blue , just shut the fuck up . You know what You're right , shut the fuck up , don't say shit , just go kill monsters . I don't need you to do nothing else , but go fucking kill monsters . I just can't deal with you right now . Red crazed psychopath got you it was supposed to be a homeland complex , I guess .
Got you it was supposed to be a homeland complex , I guess .
whatever , outside the whole Gresham situation , yeah , aside from the need for validation . Nah , this dude don't need validation . He just , he , just so fucking self-centered . Yeah , he just like fighting people .
He's like yeah , oh , but yeah , the only person I actually have respect for is Yellow , and the only reason I have respect for him is because we have no fucking clue about him and he's the craziest looking one . He got spiked fucking shark teeth and shit . And he's the only person so far that we respect because he doesn't put his first command in place .
His first command doesn't command him type shit , but then he doesn't know that old girl is absolutely against the keepers and wants to take them down and shit like that . As far as we know , he actually treats his subordinates with respect . He's the only person , as far as we know , that actually does that .
He's the only person that we can have some type of respect for as far as a keeper . Everyone else , fuck all y'all bro .
Hold on that first meeting where Susan Kira showed up late and Red was like excuse you , yellow , your first , your second in the command is late . She should apologize and then .
Yellow was like Blue did it . Blue was the one that was trying to call it out , but Red had to shut him down about it .
No , no , hold on . Okay , blue did it first , but then Yellow was like eh , nah , nah . And then , yeah , red pretty much took over , but at the same time he was like saying , but Blue does raise a good point . It's like you know you , cad , but he does , blue does raise a good point .
It's like you know you , cadet , need to know your place , you know that type shit , but uh , but yeah . Yellow .
He's the only one we know nothing about , except he's part of the research , like the Yellow's supposed to be part of the research team . So that's the only thing . Otherwise we're just going to assume that he's not . I feel bad that I cannot remember his name , but the Bleach Captain , the one that was head of the science division that took over after .
Uraha . Oh , I know , his birthday is Mayuri , but yeah , it's Mayuri .
So , yeah , I would only assume that , if it winds up going this route since supposedly all of them are the bad guys and crazy , that he's pretty much going to my yuri route , that he's actually experimenting on motherfuckers and shit , like we assume , all the fighters are dead except for xx , all the rogue fighters are dead except for xx , and then come to find
out , oh , they're not dead , but constantly being experimented on by the yellow team in order to make stronger weapons that can actually kill them or something like that , or can make them feel more pain , because the goal is to make them hurt more .
Whatever the case may be , I'm just I'm jumping out possibilities that could , like , help the storyline a little bit more , maybe something that might help follow along . I don't know , but that's the only thing I can assume
¶ Critical Discussion of Loser Ranger
. Otherwise , yellow's the only one that got respect . He's the only one that got respect , I guess . Wait , how many keepers were there ? It's red , blue , yellow , pink . Who's the fifth one ?
Red , blue , green , yellow pink .
There's a green one . Red , blue , green , yellow , pink . There's a green one .
Yes , what the fuck was the green one ?
No , the green one was like the . I guess he was like the stronger one . He was the only one whose face was like completely covered up .
So he's the only one that we had absolutely no show of whatsoever in season one .
Pretty much he was . The Green is the main one that literally just there , just to be there , at least for season one .
Okay , I thought I was tripping on today because I'm sitting here like I feel like we only talk about four keepers right now . We really are .
I mean , there's really only four keepers to talk about .
Green , I got respect for you too , because you just stay chill . You're just like you know what I'm going to make my money and move the fuck off .
He's like Black Noir . I don't say much , I just do my job .
Pretty much Okay . Okay , I thought I was tripping on that . I don . Pretty much okay . Okay , I thought I was tripping on that , but yes , I don't know . You gave your rating onto the seat I'm at the beyond . I'm gonna give this one a d , like some of the fun .
There's some funny moments that were funny , but then there was points onto it that was trying to be jokey . I was trying to be a comedy joke and it just wasn't funny . Like it did not come off well . The storyline to me is very miss wishy-washy and shit . That background , the whole flashback hit at the wrong time for blue .
That was my big , that's my biggest fuck up to me on that one . You hit that flashback at the absolute wrong fucking time and made it seem like this is a whole nother storyline . That was happening . That's my biggest fuck up for me . On to that one you started . I was already getting lost , but you fuck up for me . On to that one you started losing .
I was already getting lost , but you fucked up for me on to that one . The main character is just he got plot armor beyond fucking plot armor . That makes no goddamn sense . There's been so many times . He should have died and gets bailed out at the last minute .
I think the only person that got more plot armor than him was Law from One Piece when they were fighting Doflamingo , because that nigga should have died how many goddamn times or how many bullets his body ate , like I don't even understand . Yeah , I have to give this one a D rating to be on that . I can't .
I wanted , like I said , I wanted it to be a maybe was over-hyping it up type of thing , but it wasn't even just that . Even just coming down to Earth , this is just . It's a losable series to me . Go , go , loser Ranger . You lost me , you're losing me , I'm just kidding .
I just thought that Give it a D for fighter D there you go , it's right there .
I didn't even think about that but , yeah . So I'm sorry , like I hope season 2 . I'm still gonna give it a try . Um , cause like Talos . Talos says that it's gonna get better . Cause , to be honest with you , if Talos didn't say that , you'd be like , oh , you got greenlit for season 2 , motherfucker , why , like , what was the point ? Is there actually more ?
Like just real talk ? Like I probably was not gonna watch .
Yeah , that's just the thing With shows like this nowadays , where they made it , see , it's like Velma all over again To where you know . That show Shouldn't have deserved a season two because how much people hated it . But it was already greenlit for a season two before season one even came out . Um , so I can only imagine that .
Um , yeah , like I said earlier , uh , a lot of these shows pretty much get the um green light for season one , one on the promise that season two is going to be better . And if season two doesn't hit , well , then like OK , well , just pack it up . Y'all not doing shit , like we gave y'all a second chance , but no , this ain't it .
But if season is better than the first , like alright , well , I guess we should just let y'all cook . That's what it feels like . But , um , outside of that , I'm good .
I feel like I gave it more time than I should have . To be honest with you , I don't have nothing else to say on the show .
Tell us you got anything you want to add on .
Nope , not a bit , not a bit , not 90% . Alright well . I'm going to tell you another one . My ranking for this is a C it is a C- .
Yeah . So I would say it would average about 2 . I would say not even like a C+ , but more like 75% . So I would say it rounds out to about C yeah , because you know , kogatsu , I know you said you gave it a D , but it's like like not a D plus or D minus . So I want to say it just rounds out to , like I said earlier , it's like it's passable .
But nah , you're going to have to really convince me with season 2 . Don't make me eat my words with season 2 , that's all I will say . But that make me eat my words with season two . That's all I will say . But that on that note .
But that make me eat my words . I'm saying season two ain't going to be nothing . That's what I'm going to go ahead and say right now Make me eat my words , prove me wrong . Please prove me the fuck wrong .
Yeah , like we really need to see season two to get a better judgment of the entire series or , better yet , just read the manga .
¶ Manga Episode Length Discussion
I mean that one episode of Boondock like read nigga , read no . Like , come on dog . Like for real , though , like most manga nowadays . Like when I read manga nowadays . Like when I read manga like , uh , my year academia or jiu-jitsu guys , and most manga are like 15 pages and it takes me like 10 minutes .
You mean to tell me I only got 10 minutes to read at least one chapter like , and , believe it or not , the more chapters you read , like , just keep blazing through these chapters like , oh well , damn , I'm pretty much caught up now . Um , but yeah , you know , read the manga or wait until season two , whatever your prerogative .
