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

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

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

Hello, my crowd!  I know, big delay. That's because I had Monday off, and I just wanted to enjoy my extra time off before posting anything.

 The biggest thing to mention is Easter. I spent the holiday with my family. We all made food, though my mother made too much. She needs to learn to scale it back in her old age.  But other then that, it's been good. Also, my mother saw a doctor. She is going to get a follow-up operation for her other side.

 So let's talk about some pop-culture news! The new Fantastic Four trailer really surprised me with how well their lives are and that epic music sting at the end. Somehow, a Superman behind-the-scenes clip made for a better trailer than the teaser trailers we've been getting. And the biggest news... For all intents and purposes, it looks like it might be official, but I'm still going to wait and see. It looks like the original actor for Kuuga might actually be coming back after all these years! Granted, it's just for a 25th Anniversary look-back, but I really do hope they do whatever it takes to make an actual Kuuga movie or special while they've got him. Fans have been waiting for his return forever! PLEASE Toei, make this happen! 

 Sonic Boom S2 33-36: Character Justice.  The reveal of Knuckles being Muckfoot was too obvious; they really needed to give their 3D model a second pass. The next episode had Eggman fully in character, he even said the thing! But I am getting so tired of seeing Sonic in a mech suit. Holy moly, it's the Vector episode, and it was even better than I could have expected! The episode after was okay, but I simply cannot enjoy the sound of the Sonic characters singing.

That's it for now, my crowd.  Take care, and find the eggs.

Oh sure, AI will always have a place for covers, but it hits so much harder when the style cover is done with a human touch and a human singer. This is just another unforgettable prime example. This is "If The Doors wrote Enter Sandman" by Denis Pauna.

Happy Birthday, my friend. You are missed.

The year is now 2010, sort-of. Thanks for the previous Kamen Rider show being only half as along, these two shows are no long in sync. They don't start and stop at the same time. Truth is, Double started when Shinkenger was half over. But if last year's anniversary show was full length, then these are the two shows that would have run side by side with each other. Kamen Rider Double is the absolute best return to form after Decade, and the best way to start off Heisei Part II. It starts off with a little bit of a love letter to the Showa era, embraces a little more of its Heisei identity, yet fully evolves into an absolutely solid story with great characters. Double set off an era of better storytelling. Meanwhile, Goseiger is somehow more "mega" than Megaforce. It's about a team of guardian angels marooned on Earth with a mission to protect us all from evil. It's a surprisingly wild story! Though I can totally understand why the angel aspect was dropped in the adaptation. Neither show has an official western release, but both are worth watching. Especially if you want to see the anime spin-off of Double called "Fuuto P.I.".

Double Boiled Heavenly Armaments, my crowd!
