To make up for how Power Rangers is an old Japanese show they filmed additional scenes with Americans for we should do the opposite and make the casts of Law & Order SVU and Grey’s Anatomy stop a couple times an episode to fight people in werewolf costumes

Digimon Beatbreak obviously wants to do a lot at once, and I'm interested to see the kind of show it becomes when it gets through with its set-up. For a Digimon show, it's got style to spare, and I'm a big fan of the inherent weirdness of Gekkomon - a far cry from the reliable Agumon standard.

I'm not quite sure what I expected out of Tojima Wants To Be A Kamen Rider, but it rides the line between cartoonishness and sincerity so well that I've quickly become a fan. Every sad portrait of obsession is counterbalanced by stylized derring-do.

Counting just DVDs and up – not VHS or digital purchases – I have 493 movies and TV shows on physical home video.

I'm not saying you should be where I'm at. But I am arguing you should consider getting closer.

May I Ask For One Final Thing? is wonderful so far. An anime built entirely around the satisfaction of seeing a woman punch bullies, with every scene paced to turn her fists into a potential loaded weapon. It's a fun time.

I think it's funnier that someone got this signed by the original Turtles.

the ad from above, but signed by Renee Jacobs (April O'Neil, with a "guess not...", Barry Gordon (Donatello, with a "YEAH RIGHT!"), Townsend Coleman (Michelangelo, with a "Still here!"), Rob Paulsen (Raphael) and Cam Clarke (Leonardo, with a "Crystal Ball, anyone?")

He was my favorite as a kid (a spot he traded with Rob Van Dam, who I was obsessed with emulating in middle school) and while he should be nowhere near a title belt or even active competition, Tajiri still owns. Glad to hear that he's a pretty good teacher as well.

Tajiri has slowed down quite a bit in the last decade, but I appreciate the recent moments of intensity that make him look like an absolute demon in the ring. It fits well with his "I can't flip much anymore, so now I'll just try to tear your limbs off" style.

Every once in a while, I see people wonder why, out of all of the available Pokémon to choose, Poliwhirl was so often shown front and center. Especially in the case of Pokémon's marketing in America.

Well, I'm going to do my best to answer that question now.

Also, the OP is pretty standard, but the ED with all of its ominous fairy tale/Disney princess imagery, is very solid.

That one is great, too! It and Tojima are my favorites of the season so far.

The Weregarurumon tradition stays strong.

That is a solid duo!

Daniel Dockery @dandock.bsky.social · 21h

Agreed! I'm hoping it continues to make like Tojima and just belt itself out with its whole chest. The show is its own best endorsement.

Daniel Dockery @dandock.bsky.social · 21h

I am as well. I could see it becoming one of my favorites if it sticks the landing.

Daniel Dockery @dandock.bsky.social · 21h

That its protagonists lean a little older is interesting, too. I won't spoil the first episode, but it sets up stakes that have a bit more personal weight than "save the computer/real world, I guess" and I hope it follows through. It has the POTENTIAL to be really cool.

A great watch even if you've never seen a second of Kamen Rider, as it takes the youthful act of "playing pretend" and straps an explosive rocket to it. I have no idea how popular it will become, but it's among my favorites from this season.
