2018 Lupinranger vs Patranger Premiere Episode Photo Review

The super sentai for 2018 is titled as Kaitou Sentai Lupinranger vs. Keisatsu Sentai Patranger. It is indeed a double team super sentai concept. Lupinranger is set as a thief-theme super sentai and Patranger are police theme sentai, specifically a tactical unit squad.

The first episode premiere yesterday on 11th February 2018. Guys, I think we gonna have a great super sentai year again as I just finish the premiere with high feeling. The premiere episode play in fast pace and indeed show how promising this double concept can be present. The first scenes are the Lupinranger in action, taken their act in a casino, that turn out to be operated by the villain, a Gangler.

The Patranger however, concepted as the good boys but will somehow too late in action to stop Lupinranger. The act played in very gangstar feel with thick jazzy background music.

Here are my photo review, the episodes will soon fansubed.
