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

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

   Feel free to leave a video request. Your video will eventually be featured in a future Weekly Musings entry!   

Hello, my crowd. Care to dance?  I ran out of time to check my notifications. Just be patient. I'll get to them soon. Okay, 3, 2, 1, let's jam~! 

 I guess the biggest thing to happen to me this week was the fact that I got my last vaccination shot! I am now FULLY vaccinated!  Because of this, I have put my vaccination card in a lanyard so that I can wear it around town instead of having to wear a mask (at most places). We're all kind of sensitive right now, and when we see people without a mask, we're not sure what to think. They might be rebels without a cause, they might be vaccinated, who's to know! Well, when I go out, I'll make sure everyone knows. It'll put minds at ease, it might mean less places/people will ask me to put on a mask, and it just feels good knowing that I'm doing my part. I didn't really get to celebrate it too much because part of my family was away this week, but maybe next time.

 In news just as awesome, I may have spent more money than I was planning, but I did some more shopping!  I got some new khaki pants to replace my old brown pants (not the same color, but close enough I guess); some new black to replace the old pair, and some new grey pants to replace the pair that tore apart. One day, I shall own a pair of white pants as well~ I also got some more socks (had to replace a pair of red socks), and I got a brand new pink shirt too. It's light pink with thin grey stripes. Incidentally, I learned my ring size for at least one of my fingers, so I might buy consider buying rings in the future. I also went ahead and purchased some elastic shoe laces too.

 Thanks to getting vaccinated, I was able to go to church after being away for so long. COVID has really streamlined the experience; for the better I think. And perhaps the best thing about this week was seeing all the different trailers coming out, especially the Netflix He-Man trailer! So psyched!  But there was bad. I randomly got sick in the middle of the week. Thankfully, it didn't last long. I also found some bugs crawling out of a strawberry I almost ate. I did eat one of the fresher ones before I noticed. I think I am fine, but it really scared me that night.  There's all ready been enough health scares related to people who got vaccinated; I really didn't want to be in that statistic as well.

 Tokustatsu Movie Time! To start things off, I saw... ZENKAI RED SHOWCASE!  I couldn't find any records of me sharing my thoughts on this previously. I did see it before, but this time I saw it again with better subs. My thoughts remain mostly unchanged. The ending ruins it, and seeing it is completely unnecessary unless you're a completionist. Still, I hope they actually do something with the Zenkai Red outfit in the future. I don't know about humans, but I could easily see the other 4 Zenkaigers evolving to look like traditional Rangers. I could see Zenkai Zyuran turning into Zenkai Red, Magine turning into Zenkai Pink, Gaon into Zenkai Yellow, and Vroom into Zenkai Blue. If they made an all-red outfit, they could easily do it for the other four. But for now, unless they retcon the ending of this special somehow, I doubt we're going to see Zenkai Red's actor return to reprise this role.

 And next, I also saw... SABER X GHOST CROSSOVER SPECIAL!  I am getting a little tired of over-hyped specials. You can't even call this a movie since it's not as long as a normal episode. I seriously wondered why Saber was crossing over with Ghost of all Riders. There didn't seem to be a connection at all. But as I watched, it began to make sense. They made this to promote the Legendary Rider Book toys. Worst of all, they ended this on a cliff hanger. The damsel in distress is still captured, and there's two other enemies undefeated. I guess I am just confused because Saber is almost over. They chose a strange time to make this. I am guessing the other two will have powers related to yet another legendary Rider. So, if we do get another crossover since this one ended on a cliff hanger, I'll just say the obvious. Take all the episodes and combine them; then you'll have a proper movie. For now, this is not worth your time. Not if you're a Ghost fan, not if you're a Saber fan; but only if you're a completionist.

 Saber 39: Making Up for Cut Time.  Easily the best part of this episode is Kento. Now that he is no longer lead astray by the Sword of Darkness, he can rejoin his friends honestly and has taken up the title of Espada again. I might not like the circumstances that made him come around, but I love how he had a heart-felt moment between Saber and again with Kenzan. It's more than I can say about Sabela and Durendal slowly changing sides. It's forced right now, especially if they are still calling the main cast traitors of the guild. Seriously, how can they say that when there's hardly a guild left? The rest of the episode is just build up. Hopefully, this next episode will have a great pay-off.

 Zenkaiger 15: The Old Gears Are Still Turning!  Well done, Zenkaiger! You subverted expectations and made a love letter to old school times. I was born in the 80's, got glimpses of the 70's and such. I remember VHS, vinyl records and tape cassettes, when Standard Def was the only definition, when everything was in 4:3 aspect ratio, etc. And I know there are people older than me who remember way more than I do. An episode like this has something for everyone, young and old. The younger people watching might just think it was a silly filler episode, but it really is more then that. We also got a little hint of Stacey's past, so hopefully that'll pan out in future episodes.

That's it for now, my crowd.  Take care, and stay healthy.

I said I'd post more ponies, right? Well, here we go. This is old, but a classic. I seriously need more videos like this. Pip pip, tut tut, and a cheerio wat! This is "Ponies what are British" by
