The first official promo has been released for the forthcoming second season of the Unofficial Sentai Akibaranger! While the video was only viewable on the official website in Japan only, it has since been hosted over at popular Japanese video site Niconico.

Thanks to DecaEnd of Henshin Justice Unlimited, we also have a selection of screenshots from the video. These include a first look at new Akiba Blue Mitsuki Iwashimizu, a closer look at Akiba Red’s new super mode and even Malshina with her own Z-Cune modelled on the villain of the Aoi-tan anime!

Check out the images after the jump and you can now view the video below!

Thanks to members Christian Prime and DrillBIT for sharing!

Thanks yet again to user DrillBit for pointing us in the right direction for this info. It has been revealed, via the Akiabranger Official Website who the confirmed cast members are for Hikounin Sentai Akibaranger Season 2!

Masato Wada as Nobuo Akagi Akiba Red
Karin Ogin as Moegi Yumeria/Yuko Yokoyama Akiba Yellow
Shione Sawada as Mitsuki Iwashimizu Akiba Blue
Honoka as Malsheena
Maya Uchida as Hiroyo Hakase
Kozue Aikawa as Kozkoz
Ryo Horikawa as new villain General Tsu. Fans of Horikawa will recognize him as the voice of none other than Dragon Ball Z’s Vegeta!

Sadly this news confirms what has long been suspected. Akiba Blues’ original actress, Kyoko Hinami, will not be returning. She recently changed acting agencies in between the 2 seasons of Akibaranger and as a result can no longer work on the show. Her inability to return will most likely be written into the story as Hate Saburo messing with the Akibarangers universe once again.

The alterations to the Akiba Blue costume probably stem from the characters departure and the new persona that Yellow has taken on (Yuko) could explain the buns where her pigtails used to be. We’re still waiting for more info on the Akiba Red Z-Cune Power Up Armor as well.

After the recent official announcement of Hikounin Sentai Akibaranger Season 2 we have officially spotted filming of the series!

According to these images both Masato Wada (Nobuo Akagi/Akiba Red) and Karin Ogino (Yumeria Moegi/Akiba Yellow) are on set and filming. Sadly these pictures lend credit to a rumor that Akiba Blue actress Kyoko Hinami has been replaced by a new character in show. The rumored Akiba Purple may in fact be her replacement but that’s merely speculation.

Also revealed in these images is a brand new design of Z-Cune Aoi-Tan, the main character of the show within a show anime Nijiyome Gakuen Z-Cune Aoi! With Aoi-Tans’ redesign does this mean the Akibarangers will be receiving a new version of their MMZ henshin devices?

Fansub group TV-Nihon member Lunagel recently visited the newly opened Akibaranger cafe in Akihabara, taking a number of photos of this exciting, yet rather secretive spot! Inside he was greeted by staff in Akibaranger cosplay, as well as shelves of various Super Sentai toys and the signatures of the three Akibarangers.

His photos also include a look at the food and drink he ordered, and a selection of bonus Aoi-tan badges. He highly recommends the cafe and urges anyone in the area while its open to check the place out!

Is the news that Hikonin Sentai Akibaranger will be getting a second season still fresh on your mind? Well here’s another awesome piece of news, tomorrow January 16th, the Akibaranger Cafe Delusion Base opens! If you thought it was awesome that the Akibarangers had their own cafe base in the show, now you can enjoy it in real life too!

This super sentai themed bar will feature food and drink based on various characters from the series as well as previous sentai. The Delusion Cafe will only be open for a limited time, January 16th to February 17th. That’s just one month to get your fix of delusional treats, if you’re living in Japan that is!
