Ranger Reject / Sentai Dai Shikkaku

No thread?

Hisui cute

Who is the Nino of this series?

I don't remember zoo being brought up until a good time after Magatia. They're really speeding this series up.

They also skipped over the class president stuff, but I don't mind it.

I don't remember this guy, so maybe he wasn't a bad cut, but I think the entire anime in general is moving too fast. None of the emotional weight is there if we don't have enough time spent with the characters.

The current arc is being adapted well, so I'm happy about that, and it's neat that they're makins small scenes to start laying the groundwork for the next arc. So far so good.

Only thing that still terrifies me is all the imagery from Foreshadow Man and the IRA arc in general. I'm on my knees hoping that they don't try to squeeze the entire thing in like 6 episodes. Hell, even less so. This arc probably ends by episode 6, but then there's the restaurant chapters, catching up with the other cadets, trying to assassinate Green, the Zoo, fighting at the church, etc.

I hoping that the OP is just a red herring and only there as foreshadowing, and that the season ends with either killing Red or the Sunday fights being cancelled

The direction of this show is so fucking bad

They'd have to slow way the fuckdown to end it at the zoo with THAT as a cliffhanger.

This arc probably ends by episode 6

I think it ends next episode, and a lot of content in between it and Zoo is getting cut. They're speedrunning this manga big time

ending exactly where the episode should have, pace-wise

including that anime-only monster zoo build up

so far so good, neat
i can see at most 3 more episodes to get dream school and hisui's backstory done, then that leaves them a good 6 episodes left to make it all the way through the stakeout, monster zoo, and the introduction of yakushi (which is absolutely happening as he has already gotten character art for the anime)

I think it ends next episode

I give it an extra episode. Next one will end with the principal battle and then the next one will end with the barbecue.

adapted well

speeding through everything

lol
lmao
I'm not even bothering with this and sticking with the manga
No way they are making money off this shit and can afford a S3

hurr durrr but they got S2

retard streaming service slop get greenlit for two cours worth at least and then get canceled

they introduce chidori using greed eye/the seven tools

but not the REASON why it's even used to begin with in the manga

so they skipped out on like 2 whole chapters of content and emotional payoff... maybe they didn't think the himeji suicide investigation thing was worth it? it was like the only piece of trapped student development throughout that entire arc

but not the REASON why it's even used to begin with in the manga

Chidori was going to use it regardless, the missing girl isn't introduced until after he says he's going to use his tools.

It's sad, because the adaptation is creative in a fun way with how it handles certain stylistic things.
But even when the pacing isn't as bad as it was last season, it still feels off.
That being said, I've completely memoryholed this. Genuinely can't remember anything about this.

not giving a fuck while froggy eats family

are we finaly entering the boys terrirory?

First day on the job

Already a liability

Jesus that's sad.

hisui legs

At least the adaptation has made Hisui super cute. That's all that matters really.

best girl?

sadly this isn't popular enough to get 8 seasons like other shonenslop

new op not growing on me

Why not make 2 seasons with less content in them?

idk. feels like season 1 they wanted to end on blue rangers death. so they must want to end season 2 on something as epic as that

The manga is pretty awkwardly paced, the current arc is not long enough for a full season, but the next one has enough content for almost a whole one. I sympathize that it's hard to find a satisfying way adapt where they are in the story into a standard 12 episodes, so there's probably gonna be a lost of rushed parts to try and get it to a satisfying conclusion, especially considering I highly doubt there'll be another season.

Is the manga ending soon?

Ending season 1 with Blue Ranger's death made sense as a conclusion to the prologue of Bailong and as a tonal setup for the rest of the series, so I can forgive a little fastforwarding there. People have issues with Bailong's length anyway. I wish we didn't sacrifice some D moments and a real explanation of the switch with Sakaruma though
Does the next arc really have that much content? Couldn't they end safely with Red Keeper's "death"?

Shitno lost

I can't really blame the adaptation for how season 1 turned out in terms of pacing. Blue's death was the only logical end point given the core structure because the exam arc was just that fucking long. In the old days where your typical anime could go uninterrupted for dozens of episodes in a row this wouldn't have been a problem, but we're stuck in 12 episode batches.

Ideally, you could have made it work if you had made the two cours back to back, thus being able to extend the rushed content of the first cour to episode 15 or so. THEN use the remaining time for this current arc and the current stuff until the Zoo investigation comfortably.

Well, it's too late now, and good luck getting another season after this. I just hope they're sensible enough to realize getting to Death Messiah is fucking impossible. The show is not going to get good sales regardless of how much you rush to the hype stuff, so it's better to slow down and end up with a better paced season, even if ends in a cliffhanger with no further adaptation. At least then you can tell them to read the manga.

Couldn't they end safely with Red Keeper's "death"?

Personally, that would be my choice as the next best stopping point yeah, but with the way they're already setting up for the next arc it feels like they're going to blow right past that and attempt some kind of adaptation of Three Way Battle. I hope I'm wrong about that though

I don't know but this is much better than the chunin exams.

If you started with 2 cours to begin with, I'd say you could end with Zoo very comfortably, or even with Magatia or some of the content after that. There's plenty of material to adapt to enrich the world or add foreshadowing but I think that ship has sailed for us. Death Messiah is coming this season, even if I can't see any way to build him up properly.

it feels like they're going to blow right past that and attempt some kind of adaptation of Three Way Battle

That seems obvious to me based on the OP and the fact that we've already seen Hwalipon. I don't understand the point of cutting and rushing through so much; is it just to get to the fight scenes? I can't imagine watching this series as a secondary, they must be so confused. Who is this green guy in the school, what happened to that Hwalipon guy, why is Green Keeper pretending to be an informant and what does that even mean? We've deleted these answers in favor of lightsaber battles.

But even when the pacing isn't as bad as it was last season

One of the main complains of that arc in the manga was the pacing too.

I genuinely forgot this was a thing
how is the new season animation looking?

Cheap and mediocre but not ugly or distracting. They know they're on a budget, and they're making sensible it out fine so far. I imagine important fights will have some extra effort put on them.

Nah, maybe 1 or 2 more arcs after the current one

the only released invader rights VA information and reference art are for hwalipon and yakushi so far

it was revealed about two months before the season started

Haha... they wouldn't gut the small, character building events leading up to monster zoo and the IRA... right? Please tell me they'll dedicate an entire 12-episode season to three way battle... I specifically really want to see Red's spergout against Yakushi after he tells him he isn't shit

Don't worry guys they will add more anime only scenes for green keeper arc and zoo arc. With how much they are milking Suzukiri in the promo material I wouldn't surprise me if they add more scenes to her date with D

With how much they are milking Suzukiri in the promo material I wouldn't surprise me if they add more scenes to her date with D

As someone who only watches anime, how important is Suzukiri? If you ask me, it seems much more appropriate to milking Kanon, since she's had a lot of screen time and fights frequently. Shit, even Angel makes more sense than Suzukiri.
