Hi there, my crowd! For once, I am excited to bring the news of the week we just finished~ 

 Chances are, you're seeing this on a Monday. Which means, it's my birthday!  But I all ready celebrated on Sunday, for the most part. My mother bought some gifts for me; the Gridman boxset and new bed sheets. One of my uncles got me some new music while the other got me some premium hygiene products. I didn't get to go out to my restaurant of choice, but I will be doing that Monday! Speaking of, I have Monday off! WOOHOO!!

 This was suppose to be the week I got back into Ducktales, but since my birthday was coming up, I decided to take my time.  So, nothing for now, but I did see the movie. Speaking of, I've figured out which fansub group I'll be using to watch ReVice, if I ever choose to. Sad to say, but it will be IzuSubs. It really is them or no one. Genm Corp stopped at 4, and we're at 6 now. NAF was just repackaging old subs, and they're way behind too. While I hate IzuSubs' translation choices, it's going to be either them or no one. The ghost of TV-Nihon has risen to smite all of us in a time of tokusatsu uncertainty. Not to mention, I never did get any feedback on how I should feel regarding the costar. For now, the only way I can justify it is that I wouldn't be supporting him, but rather everyone else in Toei and Bandai.

 Oh, and speaking of Ducktales... I saw DUCKTALES THE MOVIE (1990)!  I've been watching the 2017 reboot, and I kind of hate that it ends after 3 seasons. That's less total episodes than the original series from 1987. I watched this movie wanting to make the ride last just a little bit longer, but what I got was something interesting. If all you've ever seen is the reboot and you want to dip your toes into the original, then this movie is for you. You'll get a glimpse of how much the characters have changed, catchphrases that were left behind, and a solid grasp of the tone of the original show. You won't get everything, like Magica or Gizmo Duck, but if you can stomach things like the 3 cousins' original voices, then you can definitely handle the old series. Interestingly, there is a character in this movie that appears in the reboot, and the reboot re-imagines him so much better, but I almost wish all these movie exclusive characters had appeared too. Oh, and as background detail, the kids own a computer! This came out in 1990, before it was popular to own Windows, before more modern versions of GUI's that you might recognize. Talk about accidentally having an eye for the future... Sorry, no promises for next time. We'll just see what happens next.

 Zenkaiger 30: Villain Stole My Name!  All right, an episode worth talking about! From the moment I saw this villain's gun/cannon, I knew the Zenkaigers were going to get it. Also, I can't help feel that Hakaider (the villain from Kikaider) would be pissed that this new villain, Hakaiser, has a similar name. Do you think Toei is doing this on purpose? They own both franchises. I eagerly look forward to the next episode, but you know... Hakaiser's quirky personality seems oddly familiar...

That's all for now, my crowd.  Take care, and put a candle on the cake.

I honestly feel like rock is about to make a big come back in terms of mainstream popularity. Case in point, here's a fairly new band that's making some really epic music. This is my personal favorite, "Fire Away" by Dirty Honey. If you want more, you should totally check out their song "When I'm Gone".
