The Tournament Arc
This post is a very long awaited response to Momomanamu’s post at Anime Hanabi regarding their dislike of tournament arcs. If you read through it, it’s a decently articulated post about why they have a dislike for shonen tournament arcs. There are some complaints about battle shonen in general back in the day where a studio had to put out an episode of a show a week which could lead to not much…

Weekly Seasonal Anime Watches: Spring 2024 Week 4
I’ve been thinking about what to do with Captain Tsubasa Junior Youth Arc. After thinking about writing a quick catch-up post during the week, I didn’t have enough time and that’s a lot of episodes to cover in one long post. Just going to wait it out and write a longer post when it’s over. I’m doing the same with Sand Land because I have a post that is more then halfway complete for it. Table of…

Marcille: "Uhhh . . . I'm so hungry . . ."
Laios: "We should have waited until we were at the end of this maze to kill and eat the minotaur. Senshi, what do we have left?"
Senshi: "We're good on water due to that aquifer leaking into the maze, but otherwise all we have left is my spices and this unopened bottle of benadryl."
Laios: "Hmm . . ."
Marcille: "Laois, look at me. Benadryl isn't food."
Laios: "I know that, but what if we were to kill and eat the Hat Man?"
Chilchuck: "WHAT?"
Senshi: "What's the Hat Man?"
Marcille: *sighs* "It's a shared hallucination, generally induced by certain kinds of drug intake. Some mages have tried to study if it's real but were unable to prove that it stayed tangible or present after they sobered up."
Senshi: "So that benadryl would lure the Hat Man to us, and give us a chance to fight it? That will be tough. Sounds like we will have to kill, cook and eat it all before the medicine wears off if it will lose tangibility otherwise."
Laois: "That's it! If we need only one or two of us to kill the Hat Man, then the rest can be dosed up only right before the meal is done cooking."
Senshi: "There's one problem with that. Dwarves are basically immune to any tallmen drug that isn't prescription strength. I'll need half the bottle just to have enough time to eat the meal. Chilchuck, you'll be able to use it the most efficiently because of how little you weigh. I can make sure that the fire is ready, but you'll have to fight the Hat Man alone and dose Marcille afterwards to help you with the cooking prep. Laios and I shouldn't risk taking more than needed just to eat."
Chilchuck: "ARE YOU CRAZY?! YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW IF THE HAT MAN IS REAL! And I don't do the fighting in this group! There's NO WAY that-"
Narrator: And so with their plan formulated, Chilchuck took a heavy dose of benadryl and prepared to fight the Hat Man in single combat.

Ultraman Blazar: Questioning The Boundaries
This is the latest Ultraman series and it’s crazy how different it is from the time breaking love story in Ultraman Decker. In fact, Blazar also broke a chain of collaborating with the previous Ultraman series in any way. In that way, Ultraman Blazar is absolutely stand alone and that’s not a bad thing. If anything, Blazar being able to just be its own thing makes it such a unique thing just like…

Ultraman Z - Development and Fanservice

Yoko is a tomboy Ace Mecha pilot that rules. Hebikura is the bold and hilarious Captain that also turns out to be Juggler from Orb. Yuka is a brilliant scientist that is very obsessive about alien things. Haruki is your…

Weekly Seasonal Anime Watches: Spring 2024 Week 3
I finally caught up with Captain Tsubasa Junior Youth Arc this weekend. I’m a little hesitant in putting it in with my seasonal recaps. It’s 29 episodes in and I can’t just put it in here without context. Same issue with Sand land and that one is almost over. I’m going to have to think about what to do.

Ultraman Orb - Something Unique
Oh man, where to start. Well, Ultraman Orb is a series that takes a more modern approach to the Ultraman formula by turning the usual pseudo team of experts that fight kaiju with jets and advanced weaponry into three broke young adults trying to make it rich by showing the paranormal to people online in Tokyo. There is also an Ultraman police force like VTOL in the background that sometimes does…

Ultraman Ginga - A New Beginning
Ultraman Ginga is a simple yet complicated show to write about. Mainly because of its place in the world of Ultraman series. This is the first series in this current New Generation of Ultraman shows. Coming out in 2013, you can see a lot of trends of what will be in a lot of these more recent series. For instance, using one or more already established ultraman to form the named Ultraman in the…

The old school lack of transparency on tumblr is amazing because you assume the people you follow must all be equivalent to you and then you see someone write “I brought my youngest to college today” and someone else write “my mom wouldn’t let me listen to Ariana Grande when I was a kid” and then your head explodes

Is so true, but that's why I have been loving my entry into the realm of Toku. I'm just in Kamen Rider and Ultraman areas, but those franchises have everything.
Tokusatsu is a crazy TV show genre cuz the show will literally have the most emotionally compelling story ever told with action scenes keeping you on the edge of your seat, and then the hero pulls out a fucking Hasbro toy for a weapon.

Monthly Ultra Connection (March 2024 Edition)
Introduction You may notice the lack of Ginga and Geed watching here. Yeah, it was a busy month. I didn’t have all the time in the world to watch those on Fridays. Also, I did leave at a dramatic point for Geed which is why i wanted to let that breathe too. Now, it’s back to these two shows in order to complete them. Ultraman Taro This is the fifth Ultraman series and it’s pretty different.…
