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!   

I give you a little Celestia so that you may have a little ray of light in your life.  Shall we discuss the week we just finished?

 The biggest thing that happened this week was Valentines Day!  I didn't do much for myself, and I have no special someone to spend it with right now. Still, I enjoyed it. My mother received a lot of candy and she's not a candy eater, so she sent the candy my way. ...I'll have to pace myself on it.  I was going to buy myself a copy of the Hamilton soundtrack, but I think I'll hold off. My favorite red pants suddenly developed a nasty hole in an inappropriate place, and my work shoes are falling apart.

 This week has also been SUPER WEIRD!  My mind is melting worse than hearing about Chris Pratt as Mario. We had a weird trailer for the Rescue Rangers movie. MLP G5 released teasers for their CalArts 2D style, and I'm just glad that it'll hopefully be a YouTube exclusive and not the main series. Other people have been having it worse than me this week. I just hope we start getting some better news this new week.

 GRIDMAN!  Episode 19, this was so bad that my brains are absolute mush. Dragonic Cannon became Dyna Fighter, but other then that, I'd prefer to forget this episode ever happened. Episode 20, this one had a GREAT story; feels like they were making up for the mind-numbing previous episode, also King Jet/Dragon Fortress debut. Episode 21, not a bad episode, but it had potential to be so much more, not to mention the problem was solved by a rather convenient mcguffin. Episode 22, it's actually pretty good if you don't think too much about the finer details, also Dyna Dragon debuts. Episode 23, really?! It took the villains this long to think about defeating Gridman first and foremost? The show is more than half over! Episode 24, and back to status quo as if the last episode never even happened, nor did they even try to debut something new.

 Zenkaiger 47: Worlds No-Longer Apart!  WOW! Talk about a triple shot of the feels! I wasn't expecting to have the feels over Stacey's story, but I actually felt bad for him. Makes me all the more glad he is switching sides. I was so cheering for him when he started fighting along side Twokaiser, who made an epic return. I was confused how he got there, but then the show answers the question just as they end the episode on the best cliff hanger they've ever had! Now I REALLY want to see the next episode!

 ReVice 16: Family First.  I called it. They aren't getting rid of Lord Giff, the stone statue is still in tact. Was not expecting Hiromi/Demons to become the new chief of Fenix, though. Are they setting up a failing health story? It was nice to see the mother coming to terms with her children being super heroes. Mostly there is not much to talk about for this episode, except for the fact that Ikki/Revi is horrified to see that some Deadmen cannot be saved. The human hosts are dying with their demonic partners. There have been many Rider shows that show the tragic dual nature of stories like this, but it's rare when the main  hero has to face it or shoulder the burden of murder. This theme was quickly touched on in the last episode, but it really carried over here. I hope they actually go somewhere with this instead of reviving these characters and making this whole thing a red herring.

 And now, it's... TOKUSATSU MOVIE SPECIAL TIME!  We're back at it with ReVice Mystery 2. For some reason, this episode really didn't do a good job of capturing my intrigue. The whole focus of the episode was the returning Riders from Double and Gaim. The story didn't progress at all, really. Sure, one of the main characters “died”, but I wouldn't be surprised if that's just a red haring. So excuse me if I decide to save my tears for now. Feels weird because the episode preview for this had me hyped, and yet after watching it, I just feel mellow. Let's hope Episode 3 will be better.

That's it for now, my crowd.  Take care, and activate your ability.

Occasionally, I might see people giving their Gundam model kits and toys a custom paint job. I might even see people building custom set pieces for their toys and miniatures. HARDLY do I ever see someone trying to recreate a set or a cockpit at the 1:1 scale, let alone from something animated! This is "Reproducing a Cockpit of Mobile Suit GUNDAM" by DanCreator / Cardboard Crafts. It's not a completed project, but it's still outstanding to see!
