Rewatching Kamen Rider Agito and I still can't get used to the fact that this creepy kid who may or may not be god will later grow up, pilot a plane, and faced Godzilla not once, but twice.
This week's Kakuseihunter Omegahorn did three things this week. Namely, tied the show to the greater Project R.E.D. Saga, show why Reiji is the coolest, and continued Shout's tablet subplot by revealing a much larger story. Easily the best toku right now.
Just read this week's Dandadan. Entire chapter was depressing as heck, but it ended with a reminder that this story, at its core, is a love story. On how Okarun and Momo saved each other. Why do I have a feeling that next chapter will hit me hard emotionally?
For people who are impatient for a new Wonder Woman movie, Warner Bros has been doing big IP rests if the last movie was a flop. Batman Begins premiered 8 years after Batman & Robin. There's a 19-year gap between Superman Returns and Superman 4. These gaps help the IP refresh.
Just got home from watching 58th, an rotoscoped animated documentary about the Maguindanao Massacre by director Carl Joseph Papa and GMA Public Affairs. I did not expect a talk back session after with one of the creatives, who also happen to be named Ian. Got this shirt because of it.
Just watched Godzilla Minus Zero. Watching it made me realize that early Showa era tokusatsu is just trauma response.

Patrick Stewart's performance in Bambi 2 as the Great Prince elevates what should be a forgettable Disney sequel into a film that holds up way, way better than it should I know it probably sounds like a joke? But I'm so serious when I say, give Bambi 2 a watch if you love Patrick Stewart's acting.

Now watching Godzilla Minus One/Minus Color in Filipino. The translation is good, like they tried to be as period accurate as possible, but the sudden use of "ensign" threw me off guard. Like they just straight up use the English word. It can be translated to "alperes".
Just read Bartlet Fairy Basslet, a new Shonen Jump manga from the creator of Claymore. The way the second half of the manga was setup felt like we are getting a reverse isekai situation, only to end up with something far more interesting. Can't wait what comes next.
Why do I have a feeling that Sakamoto Days will end after 3-4 more chapters? The way the series is moving for the past few weeks feels like we are close to the ending. This shot at the end feels kinda conclusive.
Ichi the Witch this week is really great. Can't believe it made pass the 100 chapter mark.
This week's episode of KakuseiHunter Omegahorn made me understand why they want to do half-year shows for Project R.E.D., but imagine if Gavan Infinity was given a full year just to be a good show, and then we will get half-year shows after. It makes his later appearance hit harder.
Rewatching D'Anothers and it took me this long to realize that this is a Space Sheriff Shaider reference.
Currently watching I am a Hero and thank god, this manga didn't have a Hollywood adaptation, just a live action Japanese one because Japan's strict gun laws makes the appearance of the only working gun being held by a guy who hesitate in using it more interesting to watch.
My mildest music take is that Linkin Park's first album, Hybrid Theory is easily one of the greatest debut albums of all time. This is not nostalgia talking. It's just that good.
It is another Friday, which means it's time for chronological and geographical context. And wishing a heartfelt rest in peace to Ninja Blue actor Hiroshi Tsuchida here, running from the yokai cop, who passed away from heart failure this week at age 54. Today is Friday, in California.

Thinking about it, Clayface kinda counts as tokusatsu... #LastFourWatched

Was searching for some Kamen Rider OOO Filipino dub clips only to find THE Kamen Rider Blade ondul scene, but in Filipino, except Kenzaki's voice just cracks.
The Biddy Blas situation is proof that if you hire a human voice actor and allow them to make absolute insane decisions, the ROI is far greater than any amount of money you could save by using genAI
