I do not know anything concerning the Super Sentai metaseries. In the past, I only saw Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers (who are not even strictly Japanese), and I stopped watching that after a while because I got tired of it, so my expectations for Miss Kuroitsu from the Monster Development Department were not very high. I did not really get it during the first few episodes. However, this anime series finally won me over with its comedy and sense of humor. There are funny parallels to the strict corporate environments, interesting and likable characters, and an overall pleasant atmosphere. Gradually I started to really enjoy everything about it and discovered a lot of favorite characters (Megistus, Wolf, Cannon, Mizuki...) and was entertained by the unexpected, hilarious, and original ideas the anime's creators managed to come up with throughout its narrative. Even though it is probably not going to make me want to watch Super Sentai, I have to admit that maybe the last episode and a few other moments were actually pretty cool. Perhaps I am now kind of picking up on what the Japanese actually see in their colorful main protagonists in stretchy Spandex, elastane, and Lycra costumes. So I am glad I gave this anime series a chance, even though it should have gone completely over my head, and I am surprised at how much I ended up enjoying it. 7/10. ()
