Why You Should Watch Go! Go! Loser Ranger!
As Go! Go! Loser Ranger! prepares to return to screens with Season 2 of the anime later this April, now is the best time to catch up with the first season now streaming with Hulu in the United States. While Power Rangers and Super Sentai fans have gotten to see their Tokusatsu worlds clash with anime in the last few years, Go! Go! Loser Ranger! offers a fun spin on the idea as the heroes are far from the world saving fighters than the public at large believes them to be. And those references to The Boys are all intentional too, if you’re looking to scratch that itch this show is for you.
Director Keiichi Sato revealed in a recent interview that he was indeed inspired by the anti-hero series, โThere are many anti-hero works in Japan and overseas, including [the] overseas dramaย The Boys,โย Sato began. โAmong them, [Go! Go! Loser Ranger!],ย in which the main character from the bad side confronts a hero of justice with a hidden dark side, has similarities toย The Boys, and the story develops in an unexpected direction, which is similar to foreign dramas. I had a similar image. So, if I were to make an anime about [Go! Go! Loser Ranger!], I wanted the overall tone to be similar to a foreign drama.โ
