As a man let me tell you: one of the best gifts you can get a man, if he doesn't have one already, is a nose hair trimmer. Trust me.

This is fair! Also it adds autosave (which the original release didn't have)

The Kiwami 1 upgrade adds autosave, extra languages and licensed music, and is only $2 so that one is worth it
*unless* you're interested in one of the new languages they added, because the translation is really good

tbh I'm not too upset by the delisting of the non-DC version of Yakuza 0, because as far as I know the DC doesn't remove any content, other than the non-licensed music opening and credits themes. It just adds (kinda bad) cutscenes that you can just skip if you don't want to see them.
-Yakuza 0 (PS4/XBO/Steam) delists on December 8th and will be replaced by Yakuza 0 Director's Cut for Complete Series digital bundle

I genuinely think there's cultural juice to be squeezed from the idea of "Canadian-produced tokusatsu."

Look, we made Theodore Tugboat! We can DO miniature sets!

I have issues with this graph tbh, the main one being that it's hard to just outright get "sales by year" because Rider changes shows in Fall and Sentai in Spring. Are they going by fiscal or calendar year?

Also: are they going by Bandai's group-wide earnings per franchise, or just toys & hobby?

maaaaaan it's so cool that they had a physical Magnugiga prop. If I remember correctly they barely ever used it, which, I don't blame them; transporting it to a location just to have it stand there and do almost nothing was probably never really worth it.

But when they did: Hell yeah. That ruled.

anyway I'm gonna go "focus" on my "day job" now but I'll leave you all with this absolute banger from Shinkenger's soundtrack

Well I guess I'll be thinking about Shinkenger all morning. Time to go listen to the soundtrack.

It's such a good show. I can't recommend it highly enough. If you like Sentai, and haven't watched it, I think you should give it a try!
November 26, 2025 at 2:55 PM
I also think it's weird because Shinkenger is, and let's not beat around the bush here, one of the best Sentai shows in modern Sentai.

It's.... it's still considered modern Sentai, right? Right?
imo it's weirder that shinkenger doesn't come up more because it was pretty popular at least with the ladies in japan

The Shodophone being in this lineup is a bit of an oddity. Usually when Sentai is doing a "legacy merch" lineup, Go-Onger/ToQger would be here alongside the usual Dekaranger/Gokaiger.

Makes me wonder if Shinkenger's having a moment or something? Like maybe its streaming numbers are up recently?

Ryuki is a show I’ve grown extremely fond of as time has gone on. Definitely worth $21!

It's so funny that American Thanksgiving is in November. Ours, here in Canada, is in the much better month of October. Another huge W for Canada honestly

Project R.E.D./Gavan Infinity got an official English press release. Hmmmmmm 👀
So far all I’m finding is a Tokunation tweet and www.gamespress.com/A-New-Era-of... but the text matches and that site seems dedicated to press releases (I think partly because a lot of sites that might pick this up reported on the jp release already?)

If it makes you feel better to call #ProjectRED a new thing and not Sentai’s rebrand (which it is, but whatever) more power to you- but calling it a new Metal Heroes is going to set people up for disappointment. It is by and large Reiwa Super Sentai with some new twists.

I like that we’re all like “rest in peace Sentai, but now it’s time for something brand new!!!” while we absolutely know for a fact the new Gavan show will be about a 19 year old boy using highly collectible items (and, occasionally, a new form) to defeat monsters of the week.
