Shinta's Take on Yugioh: The KC Grand Prix

The Yugioh reviews hit the worst arc in Duelist's Run which has no impact on anything, Derails character development for the cast...and has the mains basically do next to nothing so what was even the point?

Shinta's Take on Yugioh: The Doma Arc

Shinta returns to the Yugioh reviews with the arc most in the west Hate for reasons based primarily in the dub's changes (but has a lot of problems regardless), where a Cult of monster worshipers try to resurrect their God that Looks disturbingly similar to Megaseadramon.
We're saving any further digimon jokes for if we ever get to Vrains.

Tokusatsu in Review: 009-1 The end of the beginning

Halloween wraps this year with a horrifying dystopian take on A Shotaro ishinomori series that was previously adapted into an Anime that was FAR more faithful than this Film could ever claim to be.
They did not even try.

Blade Continues as the Fourth player to this Rider card game enters the picture, only to make members start over in the 52-card pickup by exhausting their hands.

Blade continues with Tachibana getting drugged up by an undead into being it's pawn all for the creation of the series' third Rider gear, Hajime's stakes in the battle fight are more clarified, and Kenzaki creates more memes.

Tokusatsu in Review: Kamen Rider Blade (introduction/Part 1)

Shinta delves into the origins of Kamen Rider's most memetically-powerful series And it's mixedly-received base...And also discusses the role and consequences a show where half it's cast couldn't competently deliver their lines had to its translation back when the only way to actually translate something was to listen to what the actors were saying.
 
 PLEASE NO REPLIES ABOUT TRANSLATION PREFERENCES; WE COULD CARE LESS WHO YOU USE AS YOUR SOURCE OF SUBTITLES, THIS IS JUST CLARIFYING OUR POSITION FOR THOSE WHO KEEP ASKING. WE REALLY, REALLY DISLIKE UNNECESSARY CREATIVE LIBERTIES REGARDLESS OF WHO COMMITS THEM, AND CONSIDER THEM WORSE THAN LEGITIMATE ERRORS AS THEY ARE CONSCIOUS CHOICES TO BE WRONG INSTEAD OF AN ACCIDENTAL MISTAKE OR ATTEMPT TO PRESERVE THE NARRATIVE. MISTAKES ARE FORGIVABLE, PRESERVING INTENT EVEN IF ONE MESSES UP IS UNDERSTANDABLE, DELIBERATELY CHOOSING TO BE WRONG IS NEITHER.

 Blade begins the Battle Fight with a trio of Riders fighting over the right to battle monsters to add to their deck of playing cards. And yet no-one sees fit to summon the Blue-Eyes White Dragon.

Shinta's Take On Yugioh: Pyramid of Light

The Yugioh reviews continue with the Notorious cinematic 'epic' pitting the OG team against the guard-dog of hell.

Tokusatsu in Review: Unofficial sentai Akibaranger

Patreon requests send shinta into delusion-space, to discuss the sentai series that's not really a sentai series.
And yet more earns the parody moniker than Carranger ever did.

How I learned to stop worrying and watch the Business Burn: a personal perspective on the Rise and Fall of Bandai of America.

I guess I’m in a respect luckier than some in how long I’ve been able to follow along with Bandai stuff, and with the recent separation of Power Rangers from Bandai of America, I thought I’d take some time and write out my long history with the company; the highs and lows, and why I still get stuff in some form from them.
