Samurai Equine

Hello there, my crowd! Welcome to my Weekly Musings: Orange Edition. 

[I ❤ JAPAN] -- [I ❤ THE COLOR RED] -- [I ❤ CELESTIA]

I'll paint this world in my own colors!  ...Oh, hello my crowd! Almost didn't see you. Is it that time again for a summary of my week? I guess it!

 I guess the biggest thing to report was the CT Scan. The facility that did the scan looked over the results and gave me the disappointing news that they could not find anything. My internals looked normal. Not the news I was hoping to hear because I still have an internal pain, and I was hoping this would finally explain what was going on inside me.  I am hoping my actual doctor will find something when he looks at the scan results, because this is it for me, my crowd. I can't afford any more medical expenses on scans, blood work, or anything exploratory. I all ready owe over $1000 in medical expenses, and the CT scan will add a few hundred more. If they wanted me to go in for a corrective surgery or if they wanted me to take a new kind of medication, then I'd pay for that. But unless my doctor actually says they found something, then this is as far as my journey goes. It makes me sad because I was REALLY hoping for some definitive answers here... I don't want to live with this internal pain my entire life, but it seems I may have to.

 I don't have much in the way of good news that happened this week. For the most part, the week was pretty non-eventful. No news is good news, right?  At least Kamen Rider Saber is getting bonus material. Saw the first Swordsmen Chronicles special, and it was good. Not sure how they're pulling it off, but I guess they need all the extra content they can muster.

 Last time, I forgot to mention the passing of Alex Trebek, RIP. One of my mother's friends has a son who is going into critical condition; his heart is failing so that's something to pray for. Had a false alarm; thought my drier had died, turned out that the switch on the circuit breaker had been flipped to off. Easy fix!

 Transformers WFCT 03 & 04: Empire of Dirt.  It’s so overwhelming seeing all this. Racism, political lies, shaky allegiances, and so forth. Slowly we can see how the Autobots are forming a complete team, why Jetfire and Bumblebee joined the team, and so on. Most importantly, we are finally getting an answer to why the Autobots fled Cybertron. It was a mix of both desperation and perhaps a little bit of divine guidance. I will say this; it’s interesting seeing the true nature of Megatron’s vision unfold behind the scenes of this war. Some people usually say that the evil fictional empires might actually be doing some good (like the one from Star Wars), but Megatron’s reign doesn’t seem to have any redeeming qualities outside of the war being over. And even that’s not a great up-sale, because it’d basically just be the Bad End.

 Saber 09: Lost Pages!  Who is Calibur? Seems Sophia thinks it might not be Espada’s father after all. On top of that, we’ve got a mystery lady with a yellow Wonder Ride Book. Wonder who she is. Espada’s sister, maybe? Highlights of the episode, Kamen Rider Slash appeared and Saber getting his all-red combo. And I was kind of right. He wielded the power with almost no negative consequences; he just felt week after the battle was over. Delayed reaction. Slash was AWESOME! I love his rock star attitude. His suit design and color makes me feel like we’ve returned to Ex-Aid. And there were more Rider Kicks in this episode, so that’s a thing too. I also had a feeling we’d eventually step into book-stealing territory. OOO really made this formula popular.

 Kiramager 30: Rocking the Science!  It’s always going to be a shame to see production teams make hero suits like Kiramei Gold only for the sake of a one-time use, in this case a one-off joke. Especially when the joke was kind of predictable; the way it had a silly scarf and the way they kept building up to it so much. I recognize a misunderstanding plot when I see it. Not my first rodeo. And what joy seeing Grateful Phoenix tossing around the other Kiramei Stones; they basically just told kids to recklessly throw their toys around! Oh what joy that’ll be.

That's it for now, my crowd.  Take care, and live the good life.

You know what? When this series first premiered, I didn't really think much of it. Sure they were building up some dark lore in the first video, but it wasn't that much different than your average Scooby Doo jaunt. Even as other videos came out and new elements were added, I just didn't feel any special connection to it like others did. But after this newest entry, all of that has turned around. I now see just how serious they are willing to go with this. The story is all in, and so am I. Suddenly I can't wait to see how this all will end. This is "Mystery Skulls Animated - The Future" by MysteryBen27. BTW, does the after credits shot look strangely low budget to anyone?
