Missing you so much, friend! I'm like Pinkie Pie checking her inbox with a happy gasp and then closing it with a sigh -- AND THEN OPENING IT UP AGAIN WITH EXCITEMENT!!!! -- and then closing it with a sigh D:

Just wishing you the best! -

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! 
Sorry this is late. I took on too many tasks over the weekend. Forgive me?
Let's talk about the week that past, my crowd~
There is nothing major that is happening in my life right now, just some things that deserve my attention. There are some legal matters I am still working out. Nothing to post yet until I have more details. But I am also considering changing some of my monthly services. I would love to save some money where I can. Might even consider cutting the cord and sticking only to internet. Hate to lose access to Cartoon Network go, but that might not matter in the future anyways... 
Read on to learn more.
So it's too soon to say for sure what is going to happen, but Warner Bros. is pushing towards focusing on their digital content, and also they are cutting ties with animation. This could mean the death of Cartoon Network, but the people at CN are fighting back against this. They are trying to protect their creators and the content they haven't even had a chance to release yet. Even the fans of animation are doing their best to show that this is a bad financial move. I hope things work out. I know we live in a digital age, but I hate the idea of CN being born and dying in my lifetime instead of introducing it to my future children or grandchildren. The world still loves animation. The entire reason CN exists is because people wanted a one-stop place for all their animation needs, at any time of day. If Warner Bros. is really willing to scrap this for greedy reasons, then nothing is safe. What else might they be willing to cut in the future? 
Chasing trends is not a sustainable business.
But there are fun things that happened! 
After a long drought, we got two days of rain and some cooler weather, and we might be getting more of that. I recently saw something on TV that showed Amelia Earhart's remains were finally found. And the biggest thing of all... The lost American Sailor Moon pilot made by Saban has been found! You can now watch it in clear detail on YouTube instead of through fuzzy con footage. No more laughing audience members or shaky cam! My thoughts on this? I probably would not have watched this, not unless the first few episodes were REALLY good. Honestly, I don't think it was canceled because of negative fan feedback. I think it was canceled because it would have been WAY too expensive to produce.
DonBrothers 23: In The Dog's House! 
Don Dragoku and Don Torabolt have separated into two people, but now they can become giant combining robots! And I am digging that new background for it too. The MOTW is based on GekiRanger, the host's ties to it are the absolute most forced, but at least we got to see some DaiRanger VS GekiRanger action out of it. However, the main event was what happened with Inu Brother. I NEVER expected that surprise twist at the end! It definitely made up for watching endless minutes of bad CGI moving around on screen. I really hope Toei never does this again. Seriously, it's like someone saw the 3D models used in augmented reality stuff and said "That's good enough for TV!". By comparison, the giant robot CGI is WAY better.
DonBrother 24: The Prince and The Son? 
Once more, this show proves they pick weird times to do filler stories. Depending on who you are, you will either think this episode is too good for DonBrothers or just kind of cliché. I fit into the latter because I've seen stories like this before, but it was sweet of Don Momotaro to learn piano for the lonely old mother. As far as I can tell, the MOTW was completely original.
ReVice 47: No Fear, No Pain? 
Wow. Just wow. The introduction of mentally-snapped George as Kamen Rider Juuga is beyond crazy. And based on the name, jingle, color scheme, and even part of visual design, I am convinced Juuga is also a Kuuga reference. The tension is mounting, and it's sad to see that Ikki's memory loss is hitting the worst possible scenario. However, I think the worst thing about all this is that, if this story were told in a different way, Juuga would have been the true hero after all.
ReVice 48: How We Fall Apart. 
The Karizaki family has made many questionable decisions, and it has left things way too complicated for any normal person to sort through. However, there were good intentions. And as we can see, people become a shell of themselves when they aren't allowed to grieve or express their feelings in a healthy way. One impassioned speech later, even Vice knew that fighting to help George see the truth was the right call. But as he finally falls apart and lets go of all his sorrow, Ikki/Revi pays the ultimate price for George's sins. Now his memory loss is all but complete. This show is nearly over, and I have predictions for how the final episode will play out, but I want to wait and see first.
Dear Gaga 02: Rain On Me. I was not expecting this special to only be 2 episodes long, but it managed to leave me feeling a number of things. I hate that they used the old trope of “they're dying for unspecified reasons”. Also, unlike Vail or ReVice The Mystery, it felt like they really could have just combined both parts into one special and it would have been fine. I see no reason to break them up other than digital format reasons. However, that being said, my critiques are small compared to everything else. I never thought we'd get the reason why Hiromi has that “I'll lay down my life” catchphrase, but here we are, and it's wholesome. And seeing what he did for his elderly mother, it really hit home for me. I lost my grandparents not too long ago, so this brought back some of that pain of loss. However, the ending really did lift my spirits. Spin-offs like these are far more worth your time.
ReVice Girls Remix 02: Something Truly Satanic?! Thinking about it, bringing back the showa villain Black Satan makes the most sense for a show about people making contracts with their inner demons. However, this is turning into more than just bringing a back a campy villain for fun, there was reason in this. They've brought back Tackle as an evil general for Black Satan! How cruel can they be? But I do like the actor playing her part; she's far more suited that the random young girl they got in the Decade/Double crossover movie. Seeing Kamen Rider Aguilera Dark was cool, but that ending outshines it.
MOVIE TIME! This time, I saw TWOKAIZER z GOKAIGER: THE JUNE BRIDE'S TREND ARE TANUKIS. This is the reason I am late. I ran out of time to watch this, and in hindsight, I wish I had skipped... You know, when people often say that they want Super Sentai to go darker or more serious, they usually mean they want the franchise to follow in Kamen Rider's example. They do NOT mean this. For a crossover special, I was expecting something genuinely special. I can't think of anyone that was asking for a masochist monster that liked getting pummeled by lady pirates. Is there some adult anime fans that took over the studio that day? Even more disappointed, we got stuck with Flint as the gold Twokaizer. In a live show, they gave Flint her own silver & pink ranger form. Why could they not do that here? Even the epic ending theme did not at all feel like it belongs here, let alone deserved. Apparently this is meant to be watched after the Zenkai/Kira/Senpai crossover? Should have just watched that. For now, I wish a pirate would come and steal away the memory of this movie, cause I'd much rather forget it exists.
MLP TYT 23: I Clean, Therefore... 
Oh Sunny, have you learned nothing from Twilight? You never open a window with cheerful optimism. This episode was okay, I just wish there had been more time to flesh out the ending and make it a little more earned. There are many town and city officials that WISH it was that easy to rally their citizens and make them clean up the place! Even Posey, who I guess is the Karen of this series, offered to help out in the end. There's more I could say about this episode, but it would come off as disingenuous. For now, I'll just say... Sunny's alicorn form was looking pretty solid at the end there. Was that a sneak-peak of perma-alicorn Sunny? (Also, for some reason, this makes me wonder if anyone IRL has ever considered making assigned selfie areas.)
That's all for now, my crowd.

Take care, and grab your umbrellas.
Well, I mentioned it, why not show it? Dubbed by the fandom as "Saban Moon", this is the long lost pilot for the American Sailor Moon. Can you imagine a world where this was made before Japan's live action Sailor Moon series from 2003? Honestly, considering the similar animation cues, I can see why they abandoned the project. Dubbing the anime would have been cheaper and easier. In the end, the English logo was the only thing salvaged from this.
