In case you missed it, Last month I released a video going over my thoughts on my recent rewatch of Kamen Rider Decade, and breaking it down thoroughly.

Check it out, my editor did a great job with it.

Probably my last "treat" I'll be getting myself using my bonuses from work

The Memorial Geartozinger. One of my all-time favorite sentai characters, and my first Memorial item. Incredibly happy to add it to the growing Zenkaiger collection

Halloween Kills (2021)

This might be one of the worst film scripts I've ever seen in my life.

Overwritten, brainrot fanservice slop that assumes the audience needs every minute detail explained.

It's so bad its good. I was having fun, but not because I respect this movie.

I should probably use today to work on one of my videos, shouldn't i?

Hibiki is a really nice, relaxed, sweet show that puts you into a wonderfully-realised slice of an ongoing world with a large human cast (principally focused on hot dads on monster-fighting camping trips), and a shifted focus to the POV character being a kid being mentored by the main Rider (1/2)

Without spoiling anything necessarily - can you explain a bit about the show’s strengths (and why it seems like Hibiki has so many detractors)?

The franchise known as Super Sentai will end with the current iteration, No.1 Sentai Gozyuger.

From here on after, the franchise will be adopting a new branding for its 2026 iteration;

"ジャパニーズパワーレンジャー"

This might be one of the worst marketing blunders ever, because WHAT DO YOU MEAN actual sentai cast members are tweeting about the franchise ending?!

This rebrand better pay off because you are taking a HUGE gamble with this "end of Sentai" marketing stunt.

Found this vintage Power Rangers Ninja Storm trick-or-treat bag in my attic while looking for an old costume.

I had ALOT more Ninja Storm stuff than I remembered as a child

GOTY just dropped

The insane frankensteining of Toei's toku catalog in the 90's with all of Saban's shenanigans means that on the plus side, Bandai America made toys of ALL of it back then

Meaning there is a plethora of extremely cheap figuarts accessories you can get at Flea Markets for like, $5

Halloween (2018)

I started calling it "Halloween: The Force Awakens" halfway in

Nostalgia checklists, very familiar beats, contrived plot points, half-finished character arcs

People complain Zombie's Michael is too overpowered, but this 61 YO Michael is cartoonishly strong

Its "fine". Not a fan

The Power Rangers Brainwashing is strong

Because SOMEHOW... the picture on the left looks more correct than the picture on the right, even though the suit was LITERALLY designed to go along with those suits.

I've always loved the Dairanger opening so much.

I'm tired.

I'm tired of the pain, and I'm tired of suffering.

I know it's getting better, but why does the pain still have to hurt so much?

Today is the 25th anniversary of the release of Digimon: The Movie and y'all, when they talk about films that "couldn't be made today," THIS is it. A weird, funny and fascinating time capsule.
