Samurai Equine

Hey there, my crowd. No art this time. Didn't feel like it.  So how are you all doing?

This week has been giving me surprise after surprise, and most of it positive. Has Christmas come early?

First off, Tokusatsu news has been going CRAZY! The first biggest thing is that we have a first look the next Sentai, Don Brothers! And it actually looks good?! Two of the 5 will be CGI, but at least we're not repeating the production choices of the Zenkaiger. The logo is amazing too. I am getting some STRONG Gurren Lagann vibes, even though this is supposedly based off of Momotaro and Japanese folklore. Is anyone else getting that vibe? 

Next up, MediaBlasters just pulled a phoenix! Years ago they blessed the tokusatsu community by release Masked Rider THE FIRST in the west. They went silent for years and left us all hanging, especially because that movie had a sequel, THE NEXT. Well now they showed interest in bringing us some more stand-alones. They teased Shin, ZO, and J. Later, they teased both THE FIRST and THE NEXT! On top of all that, they seem to be listening to fan input. I'm not sure how far this will go. I would love to see Kamen Rider SD, G, and World as well. Heck, I'd love to see the ZX special, if Shout doesn't get first dibs on that.  Some things I feel might be too crazy to ask for. I would love them to include the English dub track for ZO, but that might involve some legal situations with SEGA. I honestly don't care about the Malay English dub for THE NEXT, because it's absolutely broken. I am grateful for whatever we get, but MediaBlasters is REALLY getting our hopes up right now!

Lastly, Mill Creek has been consistently cranking out Ultraman releases. However, they just teased something I was DEEPLY hoping they would get to! Ultraseven X. This dark and surprisingly Western "reboot" on Ultraseven really captured my attention back in the day. Even with TV-N's terrible subs, I still managed to enjoy the show greatly! It'll be so nice to finally see it again in the original video and audio clarity, and better subs too I assume. Seems almost too fitting as we are just now getting a release date for the Shin Ultraman movie, May 2022.

But it's not all Tokusatsu related. Somehow, I won a contest drawing that I had no idea I was entered into.  Either way, I "won" a free GIF! Check it out:

...I wonder what kind of caption I should give this?  Usually @Sparklefan1234 has better, funnier GIF captions.

And before we close out, there is some less than positive news...

That's all for tonight! 

Take care for now, my crowd.
