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: 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 returns to the .hack Franchise with one last Final story added onto the Last Recode Remaster of G.U..  Did what we wanted to happen post-storyline actually happen, or was this merely a pointless tale outside of a few narrative addendums?
yes, we actually discuss what happened in the "innocent Call" Audio drama here as well, for those who haven't heard it or found a translated Transcript.

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.

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.
