The isekai sub-genre of anime – which involves someone figuring out life after being transported to another world – has always had its audience. Still, it’s noticeably grown in popularity in the past few years. The success of series like That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime, The Rising of the Shield Hero, and more has pushed isekai into more mainstream avenues and brought more fans to appreciate it. In addition, the goodwill that those series earned with the fanbase likely gave Isekai more wiggle room to embrace the tone and creativity it’s known for, with its unique premises and lengthy titles. While isekai has seen its shining moment, there’s also been an uptick in anime that pulls from the popular tokusatsu genre in properties like Go! Go! Loser Ranger!

These two formerly niche corners of the anime medium are now coming together for a forthcoming series, The Red Ranger Becomes an Adventurer in Another World, which Torajiro Nakayoshi created. As the title would suggest, the story follows a character named Tōgo Asagaki from modern-day Earth who can utilize the powers and abilities of Kizuna Red, essentially the red Power Ranger. One day, he gets teleported to another world where magic, knights, and royalty all exist, and everyone is as confused by his science as he is by their magic. If you’re a fan of anime and the Power Rangers franchise, this series is for you. A new trailer and key visual have been released in anticipation of the series premiere.
