Hi there, my crowd. How goes it this week?  Things are about to get spoopy~!

 I guess the biggest thing that happened this week was my closest cousin came down to visit the family.  It's always a treat when that happen.

 The next biggest thing is, I learned that a new fansub group is working on an old tokusatsu title that I love, Tomica Hero Rescue Force! Thing is, I really hope this group goes all the way. Their webpage makes them look like one of those groups that starts off strong, then disappears without warning. I hope that's not the case, even though they've only posted 1 episode and it's been weeks later. There are some quality issues they need to work on. Their video file sizes are way too big. I also find it weird that they subbed the OP theme, but not the ED theme or Next Episode preview.  They said they are a SCRUB group, but who's work are they scrubbing? TV-Nihon? That wouldn't explain the parts they didn't sub. Maybe they'll issue a V2 translation or something...

 No movies this week, and possibly next. I want to take it easy for the holiday.  Hope everyone is ready for the fun and frights~!

 I finished watching Ducktales, the 2017 reboot! Easily one of the best reboots in a long, long time.  Seeing it end after three seasons leaves me feeling a little sad. It felt like it ended too soon; especially when the original cartoon STILL has a bigger number of episodes and seasons! This reboot left some plotlines unfinished, and others had potential for even more stories down the road. Heck, they folded Darkwing Duck and Donald Duck into this reboot. I am sure there are characters and stories from all 3 classic cartoons they could have brought in. (I can even think of a few myself!) But at least the show got a satisfying, conclusive ending. Now I can only hope that, since many of the original voice actors from the vintage cartoon are now longer with us, Disney will continue to use David Tennant and the other voice actors for future appearances of Scrooge, the young duck trio, Della, and so on.

 Zenkaiger 32: The Pauper & The Pest!  Well this is just what I really needed; to see Kaito's new canon weapon in action. I wanted to see him get creative with it, and he did. The body swapping gimmick of the episode was also fine, but they didn't really take it as far as they could have. And I know the ending was trying to make Stacey more sympathetic, but I can't help but wonder if his past was falsified and he's actually related to Kaito's family somehow. I could honestly see him as, perhaps, Kaito's half brother or something. There is a certain family-like resemblance.

That's all for now, my crowd.  Take care, and stay spooky and scary.

Every once in a while, I get in the mood for some low down blues. And thanks to my friend @Stone Cold Steve Tuna, I have another piece to add to my collection. This is "Born Under A Bad Sign" by Albert King. That ain't no lie.
