With this Gundam Ace interview fiasco basically reveals the suits at Bandai REALLY not on-board with the yuri romance in G-Witch, I honestly couldn't even begin to imagine what Okouchi and the anime's staff has to go through to let Bandai go through with their plans
Prepare to rip up your bingo cards because 2023 is starting out strong: surprisingly, Kamen Rider star Inoue Masahiro has announced that he has now become the new CEO of AIC Rights -- the company that handles such anime IPs as Bubblegum Crisis, Tenchi Muyo, and Megazone 23.
Today, on July 31st, this man turned 70
He's been on the anime scene for so long, and has yet to show any signs of slowing down
Happy birthday, Toru Furuya
bugs are noble creatures entirely fueled by divine light and instilled with endless purpose the likes of which humans cannot even fathom. we should all aspire to be more like the humble bug.
With the three Shin Japan Heroes films now being readily available everywhere, a new wave of tokusatsu fans were born; the people who got into this medium thanks to this series of films
And I think that's pretty sweet
August 15th is stated to be the birthday of the original Kamen Rider, Takeshi Hongo
Across many different incarnations and portrayals, which one is your favorite?
Lieutenant Kenzo Yabe season 2, where they got Kamen Rider actors and have them referenced the respective characters they played
Some were more overt than others
One year ago, the biggest bombshell in Gundam anime dropped. This single moment was responsible for getting so many people to tune in to G-Witch, old and new fans alike
It's not a perfect show, but the romance between these was undoubtedly one of its greatest assets
#BlueBeetle
besides being a good movie, is very much a tokusatsu at its core
The CGI were used to further enhance the look, but the suit is very much REAL and complete, and a suit actor actually got to wear it
LRT
That's it
Miles is referred to as Spider-Man
#2
in Across the Spider-Verse movie
That should end the name debate right then and there
If toku fans can embrace it, so should everyone
After episode 12, I think it's safe to say that whenever G-Witch does get into a Super Robot Wars title, Suletta for sure will receive her own "Shinji Treatment" i.e. better parental figures than her actual parent
"Remember this, Chuchu; use your fist to protect the weak and the defenseless. Use that fist of yours to protect everyone's dreams!
NOW ANSWER ME! TOUHOU FUHAI WA!"

Man progressively turned into a Showa Rider actor as he ages
No exaggeration to say that Toei really went great lengths in accurately portraying Spider-Man in live action, despite deviating from the comics
Not to mention Hirofumi Koga nailing Spidey's movement well under that suit
You can tell the amount of screentime a modern (read: Reiwa) Kamen Rider bike has by:
1) How it looks in comparison to normal bikes
2) The filming location
One year ago, on August 1st, the first episode of Fuuto PI premiered
An adaptation of a 2017 manga, itself a sequel to 2009's Kamen Rider W, it was one of three projects made to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Kamen Rider franchise
There are three camps of Mackenyu fans outside of Japan:
*Toku fans who known him since Kamen Rider Drive Surprise Future
*Folks who known him through other live action anime
*A combination of the two
He's not just the son of Sonny Chiba: He is his own man
"The Pandora Box, which contains enough energy to destroy the Earth, has finally been opened! Standing up to Evolt, the extraterrestrial life form that has gained its power, are the Kamen Riders!"
With all the talk of Fortnite being the craziest crossover in gaming, reminder that Super Robot Wars got a Guinness World Record for having the most IP licenses in an RPG
The story of how AbareKiller nearly kill Super Sentai as a whole until sponsors demand his redemption got me thinking
Were Kamen Rider Ryuki and Faiz somehow had a hand in this? Given those were the series with morally grey/outwardly villainous Rider--

A Gundam, is not just one that dances, Dear Suletta. It's one that acts as a saviour! A Symbol of Hope for those in need! Becoming that in your own way, is how you, much like I did, will become Gundam!
These fists? These are fists that beat down selfishness itself. Fists that make anyone on the wrong end of the phrase "Oogai First Middle School Student Council president" run in fear. Being there in a flash... She is L-O-V-E. She is Cure Heart. She is Aida Mana.
GWitch EN dub of The Chase™️ is comedy gold.

“Quit running away!” “Nope! Sorry!”

Still hard to believe the reason why it took W to bring back the scarf after so long was because there was a period of time when Kamen Rider is treated like Adam West's Batman show; where the general audience just saw it as nothing but a goofy old show, hence all the parodies
I dunno what Taguchi is cooking here, but man he's able to convince Bandai to make an Ultraman toy THIS simple in 2023
No jingles, no announcer, and no form changing gimmicks
I think the best part about Shun Sugara is that after the ZX TV special, he has become a high caliber actor, working on more serious projects like crime dramas
And yet he still say "Yes" everytime he gets offered to reprise his character
My favorite reactions from that Gotchard Legend Rider cards reveal is people realizing that Toei has two dragon-themed titular Kamen Rider back to back and no one questions it
Also some just found out Agito is themed after a dragon in addition to stag-beetle (Kuuga influence)
