Personally, I am only watching this because of Kozue and Ikura.

>> Akibaranger tells the story of three people being part of an otaku club and living in the new "Electric-Town" Akihabara. They have to fight a mysterious malevolent entity that swore to conquer Earth with cool gadgets created by a brilliant genius. However, the Akibarangers' ultimate goal is to become an "official" sentai team.
The Akibaranger's secret base/hideout is a "Sentai Cafe," a Super Sentai version of the popular maid cafe in Japan.

The OP provided a really loose description of the show that really doesn't even go into the plot itself.I'd go as far to call it false, as the heroes aren't even fighting IRL, they're just deluding themselves.
First episode for season two just aired yesterday.Not disappointed.Here's the opening: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u-mqQsjMaSk

If you haven't watched this, seriously look into it.The show's what you get if you mixed Welcome to the NHK with Super Sentai (The original Japanese Power Rangers, if you're not familiar with the franchise) and then add The Truman Show in there.Although if you are going to watch this, you should watch some Sentai first, since there's a whole bunch of trope jokes and references.

The characters are fantastic, especially Akagi, the main character.

I will warn you though, use the Overtime subtitles and avoid TV-Nihon like a plague.TV-Nihon WILL ruin all the jokes in the series with their subtitle style.
