[Berndadelta] Battle Fever J #51-52 (END) I always figured this would be one of the Sentai seasons that I would find the least enjoyable but I got more from it than I thought I would. There aren't any real surprises but it's solid Showa era action (they really do love their fire stunts) and...

And with episode 14, Masashi Taniguchi becomes only the second individual to achieve the toku triple crown of Ultraman host, Kamen Rider (Amazons Alpha and Falchion), and Sentai hero (GoBlue) !

Ohsama is basically just another way of saying "king." Check out that first character being the same as the one making up Kingranger's visor. It's a bit like a repeat of something like 'Mahou Sentai Magiranger.' Mahou is just the Japanese word for magic, so it's just the same word in Japanese...

Deep below the ground, an ancient and terrible creature slumbers. Only the most powerful of psychics can pierce the veils of it's mind to see the secrets within. But when the trademark bot stirs, it reveals a glimpse of the future to it's most fervent disciples. You know the deal by now. We...

Episode six included an appearance by some Twin Tails, which don't serve any purpose to the story and are only seen in shadows. That is apparently because the director really likes that monster and wanted to include it, but the old suit was declared unusable and they wouldn't make another one...

Some more cast members have been revealed. First up, a familiar face - You may recognise actor Yamato Kinjo from his time playing Nossan / Kyoryu Blue! Now he's in Rider playing Takeshi Gotokuji a.k.a. Kamen Rider Shiro (look at the helmet's "ears" to tell him apart from the next Rider)...

Another year and another Ultraman series has begun. I get the impression that the response so far has been more positive than Trigger, but what do you think?

Tycoon will probably be the main secondary. I was told that they said in the press conference that his animal theme is a tanuki, and it seems that a fox and a tanuki is a common pairing in Japanese legends. Buffa strikes me as a Baron type, but they realised that Dangerous Zombie was popular...

I totally forgot about this, but about a month or so ago... [MF] JAKQ Dengekitai #31-35, JAKQ Dengekitai vs Goranger (END) I don't feel like I really have anything to say about this show that hasn't ben said a thousand times before. It's a show of three parts. The first is easily the best, and...

Initial trailer Desire Driver demonstration video Kan Hideyoshi plays plays Ace Ukiyo a.k.a. Kamen Rider Geats Ryuga Sato plays Keiwa Sakurai a.k.a. Kamen Rider Tycoon Yuna Hoshino plays Neon Kurama a.k.a. Kamen Rider Naaga Kazuto Modukai plays Azuma Michinaga a.k.a. Kamen Rider Buffa...

MillionFold Curiosity fansubs have confirmed that (long before this was officially announced) Discotek got in touch with them and has paid them to be able to use their episode translations instead of doing it again.

TV Asahi have launched the show's official site. It talks about a "Desire Grand Prix" in which people are turned into Kamen Riders and must compete by defeating monsters and saving people. It looks like the head writer may be Yuya Takahashi (head writer of Ex-Aid and Zero-One) and the head...

It's worth pointing out that none of the previous twelve Sentai releases were available to stream on tokuSHOUTsu at the same time as their DVD release, but all were added later after they'd been DVD-exclusive for a period of time. So it's possible that Fiveman will follow the same pattern...

I don't think it's a particularly original thought, but the A reminds me of Accel's logo and the remaining large letters seem like the kind of "street" font that you see used on racing games. So it suggests to me another car theme. If you're thinking of the Revice summer movie poster, people...
