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

    Hi there again, my crowd~! 1950853.gif A day late again? This time, I have a reason! Preparing for the holidays. But there is good news too~! Read and find out.

    bmc.png.dead4df5641294b1d1c51b1da6cdaeeb.png So the biggest things that happened this past week were, a surgery and a robbery. My other lawn mower was stolen, and I still hadn't gotten over the first one being stolen. :sunny: I knew it was a matter of time, but I am still bummed. As for the surgery, it was for my uncle, and he seems to be fine. He's bouncing back, no problems. I really just need to get storage shed. There's no two-ways about it.

    cel.png.932df6a068796c2120797b896cfae033.png I am late posting this update because I was preparing for Thanksgiving. Buying food and getting some things ready. Ran out of time on Sunday night to post this. But the good news is that I now have the rest of the week off! :yay: And I'll be enjoying it to the max while also making some food for the big Thanksgiving feast with my family.

    bmc.png.dead4df5641294b1d1c51b1da6cdaeeb.png Time for more trailers! :pinkie: WB is saving and releasing previously scrapped projects. One of which is an animated Steve Urkel movie, about saving Christmas no less. Random and a little dated, but sure! Why not. Speaking of Christmas, Batman fans are going to be tested with Merry Little Batman. Not really for me, but maybe some fans will have enough of a sense of humor to like it. I might even enjoy it more than Lego Batman. Not sure if I mentioned it before, but there will be a sequel to Chicken Run. And finally, a Robot Chicken-style series called Pokemon Concierge was not on my bingo card, and I still have no idea if I should be thrilled or not. I am hoping that this will be an uncut/dual audio release.

    cel.png.932df6a068796c2120797b896cfae033.png DonBros VS DonBuris: Humor Is Served. osnb5Gt.png Well, this definitely isn't a crossover movie, though there is a surprise cameo from another Zenkaiger actor. This is just a random movie that takes place somewhere in the later half of the DonBrothers TV show. It's the show's signature style of random humor on full display, and there was even a moment that actually got me to laugh. Perhaps DonBros was never meant to be that serious. Maybe stuff like this is what it was always meant to be about. I suppose if you're a fan of the show, you'll enjoy this movie just as much. You won't gain any lore or anything from watching it, but if tokusatsu tie-in movies aren't suppose to be essential viewing, then this movie definitely fits that bill. Originally, I was going to avoid this movie. Now that I've watched it, I almost wish I did, because it made my hungry!

    bmc.png.dead4df5641294b1d1c51b1da6cdaeeb.png King-Ohger 36: You Can't Bury A Flower. R9NrtBD.png It's good to see that the Yellow Ohger didn't instantly take her kingdom back after all; seemed too easy in the episode previews. I would have preferred if her teammates (besides Red) sensed that something wasn't right about her, maybe some kind of suspicion that she wasn't acting like the queen they know. It felt like they were going in that direction for a while. Still, I like how it wrapped up. The impostor was outsmarted, and one kingdom is fully liberated.

    cel.png.932df6a068796c2120797b896cfae033.png Gotchard 10: Mechanical Duet. W110H8u.png ...I suppose I'm happy this episode wrapped everything up with a happy ending? However, I can't help but get the feeling that this episode could have been more tragically driven in some ways. Also, gotta be honest, not really caring much for all these new Chemie combinations. About the only thing I noticed was that Goldmechanichor has a bulkier base than Gotchard's stardard base body. Not the first time we've seen a Kamen Rider toy with a bulky build, so they must be selling well.

    That's all for now, my crowd. B) Take care, and bring your appetites.

    Gotta thank @Trot Shuffle for sharing this. It's been too long since I've heard a voice this soulful, let alone see anyone keeping old school genres alive with new material, yet here we are. My friend opened the door by showing me the artist, but I found this song on my own. This is "Promise" by Laufey.

      Hello my friend :>

      I don't bury flowers, I just adore them :>

       

      Did you know that?

      I suspect @Hugs SilkALot have never grown a single mars plant :0

       

      Ah and here is your daily random fact of pony goodness :>

      You are awesome and I'm sooo proud of you

      @Astralshy

      Hi there, my cosmic friend. :proud:

      "You Can't Bury A Flower." references the events of King-Ohger episode 36, where the villain tried to hide Himeno/Kamakiri Ohger, the Yellow Ohger, the queen of Ishibana. The villain, Kamejim, tried to impersonate her and take her kingdom. The thing about Himeno is that she values all things beautiful, but what Kamejim doesn't understand is that there is more to it then that. She is willing to earn it, to do the hard work to bring out the best of everyone and everything. She doesn't praise superficial or shallow beauty. So by trying to hide her away, Kamejim was basically trying to bury a flower. But flowers don't stay buried for long. They grow and rise back up to the surface. :lookup:

      :BornAgainBrony: Are you saying Hugsy lied about the Mars Bars?!

      And here's a fact for you as well:
      No, u! :pinkie:

    TOKUSATSU MUSIC HIGHLIGHT:
    "Eiyuu" (Hero) by doa.

    MV5BNjEwMTgwYjQtODBiMi00NGFiLWIwMjItYWY5

    The first opening from the TV show Ultraman Nexus.
    And since I missed last week's post...

    "Never Good-Bye" by Tak Matsumoto Group (TMG).

    FitHJk2VEAIInzy?format=jpg&name=large

    The theme song of the movie Ultraman The Next!
    Are you feeling manly yet, my crowd? :mlp_icwudt: If you think The Next has a similar design to Nexus, well that is NO coincidence! Both came out at around the same time, and both gave their own unique, "realistic" take on what Ultraman would be like. Different flavors, yet two sides of the same coin. Which is funny, because by modern standards, one might say that these shows didn't go realistic enough? Either way, they have their coveted place in Ultra history. These songs are FAR removed from what you'd normally expect from an Ultraman theme song, and yet, that's why I like them.

  6. Hello there, my crowd! Welcome to my Weekly Musings: Orange Edition. :mlp_icwudt:

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

    Police STOP - Emoticon Point Right Feel free to leave a video request. Your video will eventually be featured in a future Weekly Musings entry! Point Left STOP - Emoticon Police

    Greetings once again, my crowd! I actually have a reason for being a day late, again! My weekend got so busy, I ran out of time! 1948466.gif Let's talk about it.

    sun.png.8ab21d7000bfb88f283da8c5e2f104cc.png So, medical update first... My left knee has been bothering me since Halloween ended. A strange ache that just wouldn't go away. :blush: I went to get a bowen treatment to see if that might fix it, but results have not be completely concrete just yet. I will say that I think using some arthritis medicine does seem to help, so it might be an early form of arthritis, or it might just be some bad inflammation. I am so confused. My mother's been unintentionally gaslighting me with her medical knowledge, and it's left me more confused than I was before.

    twi.png.f9a8f7839a12a89136cd0641ade8efb0.png But there was a LOT of good news int he week we just finished as well! :pinkie: The biggest news is @ShadOBabe gave me an early Christmas present. She gave me a Sonic game for the Nintendo Switch~! And it's challenging. I haven't played Sonic games in along while, but this is still really challenging. :ButtercupLaugh: But I'll get the hang of it eventually~! I spent most of my weekend playing it.

    sun.png.8ab21d7000bfb88f283da8c5e2f104cc.png There's also been tons of trailer drops~! :squee: Yep, we are officially in trailer season. There was a trailer for The Marvels, and while fans are skeptical, I want it to be good. I am PRAYING that the live action Yu Yu Hakusho will be good; I don't want the surprise success of One Piece to just be an isolated incident. Japan has every reason to get that one right. Speaking of, the new live action Avatar is in the same boat. I REALLY want this to be good as well, but I know a thing or two about misleading trailers. Ghostbusters Frozen Empire didn't look like anything I was expecting, but I saw red uniforms, so I am all for this. I am sure some people are excited about Inside Out 2, and I honest did not expect Jurassic World to be getting a CGI animated series. A younger me would have been upset about that, but after things like Star Wars Clone Wars, I really don't care anymore. I WANT to be excited about the Ultraman Rising cartoon, it really caught my eye in that one Netflix teaser trailer, but now the real trailer makes me wonder if they are trying to turn this into a comedy. And finally, the two big ones I am most excited for... We got a trailer for Sonic Prime Season 3, and Master of the Universe: Revolution! This might be the season that really impresses everyone. B)

    twi.png.f9a8f7839a12a89136cd0641ade8efb0.png [ 1 / 2 ] MOVIE TIME! icon?1379626399 I recently saw CORPSE BRIDE for the first time. Surprisingly, this movie was not the gross necromance I was afraid it was going to be. It was a well written movie with some surprisingly good moments. I imagine I'll probably have a better time remembering all the details to this movie than Nightmare Before Christmas. I don't know; something about that movie is just so novelty that I always have trouble remembering all the story beats/details. Ultimately, I did end up feeling bad for the corpse bride herself. It seems like everyone got the ending they deserved except her. Just didn't feel right, but even that little bit of tragedy makes the movie even more beautiful. Still can't believe they managed to get away with making a movie like this for kids, but I guess that really is part of the genius.

    sun.png.8ab21d7000bfb88f283da8c5e2f104cc.png [ 2 / 2 ] MOVIE TIME! dawswur-b623def6-6fd1-44ef-94bc-ee3a54bc I also recently saw FIVE NIGHT AT FREDDY'S. Ignore any critics that don't like this movie. It wasn't made for them, it was made for the fans. Scott made a movie that perfectly captures his vision and gives props to all the fans who made the franchise as big as it is. It's such a passion project, it doesn't even matter that the story is basic. It doesn't stop the movie from being good. I know we're all happy that MatPat and Croyxkenshin, but wow... The Living Tombstone. I hope they have taken a bow. When your fan song becomes canon and plays in theaters for millions to hear, you've peaked. That's a dream come true. I guess even Scott knew that the song so perfectly captured the message of the first FNAF game that he just had to use it! No point in making a theme song when the perfect one has all ready been made. I cannot wait for the sequel. Markiplier, where you at?

    twi.png.f9a8f7839a12a89136cd0641ade8efb0.png NO KING-OHGER THIS WEEK! R9NrtBD.png I need to take some time to do some reorganizing, so I had to put this on hiatus for now.

    sun.png.8ab21d7000bfb88f283da8c5e2f104cc.png Gotchard VS Legend 01: Royal Jewels? W110H8u.png Not much to say here. Gotchard is transported Decade-style to a parallel world, where he finds a golden Decade-esque Rider with an obsession for gorgeous things. However, he is not impressed with Gotchard and believes he can be more gorgeous. Ironic considering he apparently thinks Riders like Hibiki are gorgeous, but I digress.  Part 1 just exists to set the stage. I have no idea where this is going, but considering how dangerous things got with Decade and Zi-O, I feel like this is not going to end well. Either Legend is not quite the hero he claims to be, or he is playing with a power he doesn't understand and should have just left alone.

    twi.png.f9a8f7839a12a89136cd0641ade8efb0.png ...Did I forget to post a tokusatsu song this past week? :wacko: Well pooples.

    That's all for now, my crowd. B) Take care, and be there for the fun.

    This was just the kind of brevity that I needed. Before we march forward into another season of Doctor Who, I think the whole fandom needed a good laugh like this. Casuals might not get it, but long time fans will. Best of all, it ended on the perfect note. This is "Doctor Who Parody: Dalek Who" by mashed.

    Hi there again, my crowd~! 1947567.gif I know this is late. I didn't forget. I just got so tired and preoccupied on Sunday that I had to retire early. Didn't have time to post this.

    bmc.png.dead4df5641294b1d1c51b1da6cdaeeb.png So the biggest thing about the week we just finished was... Halloween! :love: Mine was simple. Had a slightly larger-than-responsible amount of candy. Did some spoopy fun things. My knee has been feeling strange, but hopefully that's an unrelated issue. I'll keep an eye on it. Either way, great holiday.

    cel.png.932df6a068796c2120797b896cfae033.png And then there's the dental update. :blush: I was able to get an appointment much sooner, however... They were able to smooth down the surface where my tooth chipped, but they strongly recommended putting a crown on it. I can't afford that, my crowd. I'll keep an eye on it for now, but this may be a thing where I just have to risk it for a while. Maybe my tooth might not chip any further after all. Maybe that initial chip will be enough to relieve the pressure/stress.

    bmc.png.dead4df5641294b1d1c51b1da6cdaeeb.png There were some good trailers this past week! Doctor Who is releasing more content lately. Probably a promotion deal as they move to Disney Plus. Godzilla has also been making a lot of bonus content too! They are making Kingdom of the Planet Apes. While I have not been a huge fan of this cinematic reboot; I am impressed with their dedication to remake all the titles. Good Burger 2 is getting closer to its theatrical release. This might be the beginning of another Trailers season.

    cel.png.932df6a068796c2120797b896cfae033.png King-Ohger 35: To Spite The Face... R9NrtBD.png A very moving episode indeed. An episode where we finally see a little more of why the Blue Ohger has so much faith in his retainer. I hate that it came to this. I hate that he had to destroy the mother computer. I really wanted this to be a fake out ending where he had the advantage all along. In the end, he sacrificed technology to save his people. If he previously built something from nothing, he can do it again. Not much Racles action this time, but you never know what might happen.

    bmc.png.dead4df5641294b1d1c51b1da6cdaeeb.png Gotchard 09: Kamen Mazinger?! W110H8u.png I've been a fan of Kamen Rider for years, and of all things I've come to expect, turning into a giant robot was not on my bingo card. Still, I wouldn't be against a live action giant mecha movie in this style. As for our hero, it looks like he is going to learn the hard way why you don't leave your hero equipment at home, ever.

    That's all for now, my crowd. B) Take care, and remember where it all came from.

    Speaking of things not being in my bingo card... I never could have predicted this. 2023, the year of the final Beatles song. There is a mini-documentary explaining how this came to be, which I highly recommend. Explains it better than I can. For now, this is the final chapter. The end of a legacy. This is "Now And Then".

    TOKUSATSU MUSIC HIGHLIGHT:
    "Take Me Higher" by V6.

    30355737_30NAMA.webp?1637093352

    Gonna Tiga! :mlp_icwudt:
    To start things off, let me just say that ULTRAMAN is a franchise I am not super knowledgeable in. I don't watch it regularly, though I feel like I should. So forgive me if I focus on main themes more than rare songs. That being said, this is the theme song of Ultraman Tiga! A show that, for a while, got a really bad English Dub by 4Kids (and yes, that means this iconic song was replaced by some lazy song that 4Kids is known for making). Honestly, can you blame me? Unlike what we got in America, this is an actual song made by an actual music band. I learned about V6 because of Inuyasha, so it's nice to see them doing other things.

    Oh, but we're not done! This post is a two-for-one. No, three-for-one! Actually, would you believe four-for-one? Because...

    There's an Unofficial English Version! :o
    At the time, Dave Rodgers was the manager of V6, so the song was just as much his idea as it was V6's. I call this version Unofficial because the lyrics are not exactly the same. While the Japanese one is more about the hero's feelings of protecting everything dear to hear him, this version is clearly a love song. Some of you might know Dave Rodgers as the guy who made all those eurobeat songs for the anime Initial D. Well if you didn't hear the influence before, I bet you do now.

    And now the unnecessary bonus rounds...

    Spoiler

    Dave Rodgers made a 2020 version of "Take Me Higher". Other than some minor differences, it sounds practically the same to me. But here you go, just in case.

    And once again, I don't hear that much of a difference between the instrumental melodies. However, if you want to hear Dave Rodgers' voice over the V6 instrumentals, here you go.

      The fact that this was an official Ultraman song/video is priceless. :ButtercupLaugh: I know Scatman John was extremely popular in Japan, but I wouldn't have expected a superhero to get in on the craze.

    Police STOP - Emoticon Point Right Feel free to leave a video request. Your video will eventually be featured in a future Weekly Musings entry! Point Left STOP - Emoticon Police

    Greetings once again, my crowd! 1581344.png If you are wondering why this is posted late, it's because I was watching some movies and time slipped away from me. You can read all about it down below...

    sun.png.8ab21d7000bfb88f283da8c5e2f104cc.png Can't say anything big happened over the week. I know my mother found a new renter and has been helping him get settled in. Also I chipped my tooth a weekend ago, so I am trying to find some time for the dentist to see me so I can get it fixed. :lie:

    twi.png.f9a8f7839a12a89136cd0641ade8efb0.png I learned that on top of Minus One, their big cinematic masterpiece, Toho is also making a short film called Operation Jet Jaguar. It's in the style of a Heisei era movie with a Tokusatsu flair, so I am all for it!! We need more Jet Jaggy! :pinkie: Apparently, this is the 4th entry in the Fest Godzilla series. Should I see all the entries?

    sun.png.8ab21d7000bfb88f283da8c5e2f104cc.png [ 1 / 2 ] MOVIE TIME! icon?1379626399 I recently saw TRANSFORMERS RISE OF THE BEASTS. Man, the trailers really did NOT do this movie justice. The promotional material did not do this movie justice. The fact that Michael Bay is attached probably scared people off before they gave it a chance. Because this movie has heart. It does some amazing things! You don't need to watch the other Transformers movies, because I am pretty sure this and Bumblebee are part of a reboot. However, this movie re-contextualizes some of the plot failings of the previous movies, it gives us a way better Unicron, does a better job of giving us likable humans, and even dares to give us just a little more screen and character time for the various robots. I hate that we had to go through about 4 bad ones to get to this, but here we are. It had some senseless death scares, but they managed to turn it around in heartfelt way. We didn't get to see Unicron transform, but he still exists, so we might see him again. There was one minor flaw in the story's final act and some tactless jokes, but it's not enough to ruin the movie. By the end, they teased a crossover that I did NOT see coming! Still, I am here for it, and I hope this movie was successful enough to make that happen.

    twi.png.f9a8f7839a12a89136cd0641ade8efb0.png TRANSFORMERS ROTB SUPPLEMENTAL:Warning: Spoilers Head... Like I said, the 2018 movie Bumblebee and this one might be part of a reboot. If it is, then there's no reason to see the old movies and no reason to try and connect them. However, Optimus Prime doesn't trust humans in this movie, and we never find out why. If all the previous movies are connected, then it makes sense because the Autobots once had an alliance with the humans only to be hunted down by said humans later. However, The Last Knight all ready gave use Unicron. They revealed the Earth itself is Unicron. You can't have it both ways. Optimus would have recognized the name Unicron at least. So in the end, I do think that this movie is still part of a reboot, but I think both sets of movies are helping to explain things. Soft reboot? This version of the Autobots went through a different history, but it must have been something similar if they have lost trust in humans. Likewise, this movie explains why Autobots and Decepticons were permanently killed off; not enough Energon to bring them back. Sadly, Airazor was indeed killed and so was Primal's twin. Even so, if Energon is the key, it might be possible to bring them back too. :) ...Also, anyone else find it weird that Primal told the Maximals to “roll out” as well? They don't have wheels. They're animals. Just thought that was odd. Epic, but also odd.

    sun.png.8ab21d7000bfb88f283da8c5e2f104cc.png [ 2 / 2 ] MOVIE TIME! icon?1379626399 I also recently saw Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem. You know, I fear I may be the victim of over-hype this time. Listening to others talk highly of this movie, I expected it to be amazing. Don't get me wrong, it had wonderful moments. The music was fun, the comedy on point, the ending was heartfelt, MrBeast made a cameo, and I had no idea I wanted to see the Turtles bonding with other mutants that would normally be their enemies until now. Despite my hesitations, let it be known that Seth Rogen can indeed facilitate a good TMNT movie. However, there were elements I didn't like. I didn't like that the legacy of Hamato Yoshi was dropped here. I was never really a fan of seeing Splinter be just some guy who randomly picks up martial arts and masters it quickly. Wasn't a fan of that in the Michael Bay movies, not a fan of it here. But mostly, I don't like how they had to punch Splinter down and have him learn a lesson about trusting humans. Having him be a protective parent is one thing, having him be speciesist against humans felt like it was just too far. The art style takes some getting use to in places, but the story absolutely nails it in quality. Makes me somewhat excited to see where the sequel is going. ...And yeah, seeing Splinter shipped with a bug was weird. Why did they make that a thing exactly?

    twi.png.f9a8f7839a12a89136cd0641ade8efb0.png Gotchard 08: Room For Growth. W110H8u.png Alchemy really needs to re-evaluate itself. Episodes like this are really just slowing things down until we get to the important story. I am getting tired of the whole “Is he dead or not?” shtick about Rinne's father. I am tired of Spanner. And despite the alchemists saying that all of this goes against natural order, I haven't seen any negative effects from Chemies and humans interacting. It's only a problem when malice is part of the equation, and that's what the villains are doing. I'm trying to enjoy these standard episodes, but when the previous one had some promise, it makes episodes like this less than thrilling.

    sun.png.8ab21d7000bfb88f283da8c5e2f104cc.png King-Ohger 32-34: Of Prince & Kings! R9NrtBD.png To start, we are making Super Sentai history with the first canon, in-series crossover between two Sentai; something that we usually only see with Power Rangers. Still, I hope this doesn't keep us from getting an actual cinematic crossover in the future. Nothing against the new kid, whom I still can't tell if his acting is bad on purpose or not, but King Kyoryu Red just isn't the same as the original Kyoryu Red. And hearing just a recording of him isn't the same. Also, the fact that he was Pink & Red's son was kinda obvious. I don't think ANYONE was asking or expecting to see Blue and Candelira become a romantic couple. Still, it was good to see the Kyoryugers again doing their thing and it was good to see how much these two teams have in common. But as for episode 34... I can't tell if King Kyoryuzin is here to stay or not, but I won't be treating it like a crossover anymore since this last one hardly counted. Part of me wonders if the MOTW was intentionally drawing Kamen Rider imagery. Also, I CALLED IT! Racles is back and bigger than ever. Now that's how you end a seemingly random yet completely canon crossover.

    That's all for now, my crowd. B) Take care, and share the experience.

    Sure, this seems relevant right now. I grew up with the classic demon shooting game DOOM for Windows 95/98 back in the day. However, at the same time, there were a LOT of similar PC video games coming out at that time. This is a historical look at them all. Most of these I did play, some I forgot about, and some I've never heard of before. It sure is nice to see his slice of my history so perfectly catalogued. This is "Doom Clones" by Bransfield.

    TOKUSATSU MUSIC HIGHLIGHT:
    "Rise Up Your Flag" by Gaku Sano (Kouta Kazaruba).

    1016073-0-q80.jpg

    With honor, we rise! :mlp_icwudt:
    There are no rare or forgotten songs from Kamen Rider Gaim. All of them got screentime, so I'll just share a personal favorite of mine. This is basically the theme of Gaim's Kachidoki Arms form, which I enjoy way more than his final form, Kiwami Arms. And with this, we are done sharing Kamen Rider music! We may come back to it some time later, but for now... I feel like moving on to something Ultra.

    Happy Birthday, my friend!! :mlp_yeehaa::balloon::blue_baloon:

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

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

    Police STOP - Emoticon Point Right Feel free to leave a song request. Your song will eventually be featured in a future Weekly Musings entry! Point Left STOP - Emoticon Police

    Hi there again, my crowd~! 1581336.png The reason this is a day late is because... I completely forgot. Sorry~! But let's go over the week we just finished.

    bmc.png.dead4df5641294b1d1c51b1da6cdaeeb.png I guess the biggest thing that happened was I went to car show with my uncle. :adorkable: ... I don't care about cars that much. He just wanted to do something for me for my birthday. Honestly, this felt more like a gift for himself than for me, but it's the thought that counts. Maybe the two of us will do something else later. Because right now...

    cel.png.932df6a068796c2120797b896cfae033.png On Sunday, my uncle had to rush to the emergency room. You see, he's been having some intestinal problems for a long time. He recently got some medicine to help him take care of it, including an antibiotic, but you're REALLY not suppose to mix those kind of drugs with alcohol! Please don't do it, my crowd! And don't let others do it either!! :BornAgainBrony: My uncle went to a party on Saturday where alcohol was provided. He couldn't say no, and he paid the price for it. He'll be fine, it just made him really sick. Speaking of sick...

    bmc.png.dead4df5641294b1d1c51b1da6cdaeeb.png I know there's never a "Good time" for it, but on Sunday evening, my tooth chipped. :blush: It is a tooth with a filling, but I don't think it's the filling that chipped. I think it's the tooth itself. I am fine right now, but I'll be scheduling an appointment soon. Still, having this happen in the early holiday season really sucks. And let's not forget the week started off bad. A lawn mower was stolen, a sifter broke, my uncle's health was compromised, and then this. What a terrible week.

    cel.png.932df6a068796c2120797b896cfae033.png No movies this week. Forgot. Sorry. :lie: Blame @Totally Lyra for getting me a video game that was so addictive, I hardly want to put it down!

    bmc.png.dead4df5641294b1d1c51b1da6cdaeeb.png NO KING-OHGER THIS WEEK! R9NrtBD.png I thought this was just going to be a two-episode thing, but it turns out this is a 3 episode special. :wacko: Regardless of how long this plays out for, I'll give my thoughts next week no matter what.

    cel.png.932df6a068796c2120797b896cfae033.png Gotchard 07: On Pins & Feathers? W110H8u.png Ichinose/Gotchard is breaking regulation to befriend a kid. With the debut of his new form and everything in the side story, this episode was beginning to feel a little heavy. However, this is the most accurate gun play I've seen tokusatsu in a while, and the enemy isn't even using a gun. Furthermore, that is one heck a cliffhanger to end the episode on!

    That's all for now, my crowd. B) Take care, and don't delay.

    Every once in a while, within the world of music, I find another chapter of "Well that happened!". And once again, I have turned the page to find this rare performance between both Kiss and Garth Brooks. Yes, the country singer. Not the first time Kiss have performed with other people live, and I am aware that Garth is a little bit rock & roll, but that doesn't make this any less of a strange oddity. Here is Kiss and Garth Brooks performing the Kiss song "Hard Luck Woman" on The Tonight Show (1994).

    TOKUSATSU MUSIC HIGHLIGHT:
    "月の満ちる時" (Tsuki No Michiru Toki, "When The Moon Is Full") by Shieri Ohata ft. Kamen Rider Girls.

    maxresdefault.jpg

    What an end to an era! :mlp_icwudt:
    Kamen Rider Zi-O was an anniversary series AND the end of the Heisei Era. Not many bonus songs were made for this show, but here's one of them. It's basically Tsukuyomi's theme song, a character who later becomes a Kamen Rider and ally to the main heroes of the show. Yes, I know the melody has a slight middle-eastern inspiration at times. It's just what they felt like doing in the show. Don't read too deep into it. Nothing more than a stylistic choice.

  19. Hi there. Enjoying the forum? I noticed you haven't posted an introduction in the Welcome Plaza yet. :ooh:

    Well, it's not THAT bad, but still... :adorkable:

    What a strange way to start the week after my birthday. On Monday, I found out that one of my lawn mowers was stolen. Thankfully, I still have the other one, and it seems to be working just fine right now!

    And now on Tuesday, my sifter broke. :sealed: I mean, it's cheap and easy to replace, but... Could you stop, please? If something breaks or goes missing on Wednesday, I will believe that this week has it out for me.

    That's it for now. Take care, my crowd. B)

    Oh what joy, my crowd~! 1379373.gif And oh what joy, I drew my favorite princess! Let's review the week gone by.

    sun.png.8ab21d7000bfb88f283da8c5e2f104cc.png So the biggest thing that happened this week... I celebrated my Birthday! :yay: 🥳There was so much sweets and stuff leading up to the big cake and ice cream event, that I fear I may have jeopardized my diet. :sealed: Not as young as I use to be, but still so worth it! I got to celebrate some time off from work, go out to eat to eat, got to have two different yet wonderful Philly Cheesesteak sandwiches, and so many hugs from friends!
    From my mother, I got a Nintendo Switch! It's been long over due and I have no games for it right now, but it's a start!
    From one of my uncles, I got some more cologne, fancy chocolate, another set of tea, and chickpea snacks. My other uncle hasn't had time to get me anything yet, but he promised we'd spend some time together soon.
    From @Stone Cold Steve Jobs, I got a month of Discord Nitro.
    And finally from @Totally Lyra, I got a game on Steam.
    Over all, it was a wonderful birthday. :coco: The week was so good, I didn't want it to end~

    twi.png.f9a8f7839a12a89136cd0641ade8efb0.png No movies this week. :lie: Sorry, my crowd. I got so busy with what was happening that I just ran out of time for it. In fact, I got so distracted that I forgot to post some Tokusatsu music this past week. But soon! I'll be watching and reviewing more movies real soon, and I'll get back to my usual schedule in no time.

    sun.png.8ab21d7000bfb88f283da8c5e2f104cc.png NO KING-OHGER THIS WEEK! R9NrtBD.png I am watching, but this episode and the next are part of a crossover event. So I want to save my thoughts until the crossover finishes.

    twi.png.f9a8f7839a12a89136cd0641ade8efb0.png Gotchard 06: Scaling High Enough. W110H8u.png The human that becomes the MOTW in this episode turned out to be such a loser that he's not even worth talking about. The real focus is Spanner and Gotchard. We all ready knew Spanner was a creep and did things differently, but we really see the differences on display here. It's almost ironic. Gotchard is a full-on Kamen Rider and has multiple forms by now, and yet he's the one who is inexperienced compared to Spanner. Gotchard has all the compassion for the Chemies and wants to do the right thing, but he's reckless and unfocused. Spanner is focused and has many amazing skills, but has no compassion. I want to know more about Spanner too, but I wouldn't be surprised if the reason why he's not a Kamen Rider right now, is because he's his own worst enemy for not acknowledging the Chemies.

    That's all for now, my crowd. B) Take care, and grab something new.

    I like superheroes. But at times, even I get tired of the traditional experience and would like something different. This might be up my alley. I don't expect it to be a masterpiece, but it might have just enough charm to keep me coming back. This is "Tom Strong | Alan Moore's Overlooked Masterpiece" by Casually Comics.
