Unofficial Sentai Akibaranger Confirmed for a Second Season

Unofficial Sentai Akibaranger, Toei’s self-aware parody of the Super Sentai format, was confirmed for a second season at the “Super Hero Festival” event on January 11, 2013. Ahead of the announcement, rumors of a follow-up season had circulated for months; the confirmation put those rumors to rest, though full details were held back for the show’s official website.

Alongside the confirmation, early word suggested the second season would add a new team member to the Akibaranger roster, reportedly a purple-suited Ranger played by an idol-type actress, though this detail remained unofficial at the time of the announcement.
