2012's "Super Sentai" show (the source material for Power Rangers) is Tokumei Sentai Gobusters, but there's also a second string of heroes coming for adult audiences... the Hikōnin Sentai Akibaranger (Unofficial Task Force Akihabara Rangers).

 

The show, which features the tagline—“Good little kids shouldn’t stay up late to watch this!”—has a staff that includes director Ryuta Tazaki (Kamen Rider Agito, Ryuki & Faiz), director/character designer Keiichi Satou (Karas, Tiger & Bunny), writer Naruhisa Arakawa (Kamen Rider Kuuga, Spice and Wolf, Steel Angel Kurumi), and composer Kenji Kawai (Ghost in the Shell, Death Note, Eden of the East). It will debut on Japanese TV in April with previews on March 31 and April 1 at Bellesalle in Akihibahara.

 

Bandai's high end Tamashii Nation toy line has revealed what the group looks like.

This could be great if it's like the first episode from Mitsudomoe season 2.

What is up with the guys helmet?

it's supposed to be spiky hair, like how the women have pony tails. Also, a (very small) page out of Square-Enix's book of asymmetrical character design.

Gives a new meaning to the phrase "helmet hair," don't you think?

Why am I getting vibes from this similar to what I got from the Excel Saga parody of Sentai series (The "Municipal Force Daitenzin" episode)?

I was wondering what this was reminding me of. Damn if that is feel they are going for, I kind of really want to watch it now.

director/character designer Keiichi Satou (Karas, Tiger & Bunny) so of course the body designs are going to look like this

The yellow one reminds me of Bubbles. I really like the design of the red one though!

Red's helmet looks ok facing straight on, but from the high angle of the third picture, he kind of looks like a rooster.

Right now Blue kind of looks the best to me. I second Yellow looking like Bubbles. I think that might be intentional.
