The highly anticipated premiere date of the Go! Go! Loser Ranger! anime series has been announced after months of speculation and rumors. Fans of Super Sentai anime, like the Power Rangers, are buzzing with excitement for this long-awaited debut.
The official Shochiko Anime Studio YouTube channel recently released a trailer revealing that the series will premiere in 2024. Although it's uncertain which specific anime season it will be released in (Winter, Spring, Summer, or Fall), the fact that it will happen within the next year is fantastic news for its dedicated fanbase. Along with the promotional video, fans were also treated to a captivating new teaser poster on the @anime_sentai, the official Go! Go! Loser Ranger! X (formerly Twitter) account.
Go! Go! Loser Ranger! Is A Dark And Exciting Spin On The Traditional Power Rangers Shows
Although not specifically centered around the Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers, this series is a must-watch for enthusiasts of both that franchise and Super Sentai shows in general. Based on Negi Haruba's ongoing Sentai Daishikkaku manga, the story ingeniously subverts Power Rangers tropes and reinvents the entire Super Sentai genre. Rather than focusing on a Ranger team, the spotlight is on the Power Ranger villains - known as Putty Patrolmen in the original show - the expendable minions of the formidable and malevolent alien "Executives." The series delves into the intriguing concept of what occurs when a group of these evil foot soldiers grows weary of their masters constantly sending them into unwinnable battles against the Power Rangers, prompting them to seize control of their own destinies.
"The story also gives the actual Dragon Keepers - the Rangers of the series - their time to shine, thus presenting a compelling double-sided view of good and evil, as the protagonist's goal is to kill what are, in fact, heroes. After the anime was originally announced in December 2022, no further news about when it would debut was provided, until this latest announcement. Over the year, the fear among more than a few fans was that it might never get made. During that time, a single promotional video was the only "sustenance" fans had to slate their interest. That video, however, was breathtaking and showed how potentially good an anime series could be."
Go! Go! Loser Ranger! Has A Solid Creative Team Behind It
The story also allows the real Dragon Keepers - the Rangers of the series - to have their moment in the spotlight, offering a captivating perspective on both good and evil. Surprisingly, the protagonist's objective is to eliminate these heroes. Initially announced in December 2022, the anime lacked any further updates on its release date until the recent announcement. Throughout the year, fans anxiously wondered if it would ever come to fruition. Amidst this uncertainty, a lone promotional video served as the sole source of excitement, giving fans a glimpse of the anime's immense potential.Go! Go! Loser Rangers! boasts a promising future, thanks to its exceptional creative team. Helming the series is none other than Keiichiro Ochi, a veteran director renowned for his contributions to renowned anime titles like Under Ninja, Tiger & Bunny, Black Butler, and the Mobile Suit Gundam franchise. Moreover, the production is in the capable hands of Yostar Pictures, the esteemed anime house responsible for bringing Azur Lane, Arknights, and Blue Archive to life.
