You thought wrong, but GekiKnight thanks you for the confusion; GekiKnight seems to love nothing more than coming up with new names for various release projects. If it was just to distance from the H-S debacles I could sort of see it, except GekiKnight was also GoseiAnongel, back when that was a relevant thing for a couple minutes. Publicly teaming up with a non-renamed fantasyleader probably wasn't the smartest move if the goal was to remain incognito though.

So that movie Go-Busters vs. Kyoryuger... There was actually more Go-Busters than I though which is good. It's a shame AbareBlack, AbareKiller and DragonRanger didn't reappear for whatever contrived reason, but it makes sense why they didn't. They also didn't use the Howling Canon which is actually sorta odd, but they must not have the prop anymore. I think this is also the first and only time we actually get to see the Deboss team get to do their own finisher. Finally, the ToQgers being the goofiest team yet against a villain who is super serious all the time. Great stuff, even if we never see the Scope Finisher and the Rail Line Sweep (I don't know what the actual name for those moves are) again.

Those two ToQger moves pop back up in this week's episode, in fact! I really enjoyed the All Dino TeamUp feat. Go-Busters, but there were a few quibbles I had. Jin totally should have lead a charge of dead rangers. Would have given perfect reason for AbareKiller, Burai, and the two spirit rangers from Kyoryuger reason to show up. I also am not a huge fan of how the Sentai Zyudenchi were used. They were just the Mecha Ranger Keys in battery form. I was happier when the Sentai batteries were just toys. I did like that they remembered they had batteries that had fun effects. Slowing down Dark Buster Enter was great.

You do have to wonder how they dropped the ball so bad on the sixth rangers, especially given Jin and J were already there. Lopsided sentai teams  me like nobody's business, I'll tell you what

The team-up movie was good but I'm disappointed that Jin didn't come back permanently. I guess that would have been really difficult to do considering the reason why he was gone in the first place, but he was a great character and it's a shame that this is actually probably the last of the character. It's a shame they couldn't rebuild the cockpits for the Zyuranger/Abaranger mecha though. Seeing them stand in the white void just wasn't as interesting, but I realize that rebuilding them for a few seconds of a movie would be way too expensive.

Finished up with Kamen Rider Amazon. Things I liked: Pretty much everything about the first half of the show, the monster designs, the fights (especially in the first half), having the protagonist be always shirtless (dat body), and the villains actually got to straight up murder a bunch of people a lot. The last few episodes especially had people being melted or disintegrated in droves. I also liked how the final villain plot was literally just "nuke Tokyo" without any pretenses of mutants or mind control plots or whatever; they were simply just going to blow up Tokyo with a nuke. Things I disliked: Way too many mind control plots and the general overuse of "Masahiko is in trouble!" plots (that kid is going to have crazy PTSD later in life, they already showed him having nightmares about his "adventures"). The retool halfway through the show impacted the quality pretty hard. Even though it was still pretty entertaining even when Amazon wore a shirt and talked in mostly complete sentences and didn't chew on the monsters it definitely paled in comparison to the sheer guts of the first half. Great Emperor Zero wasn't as cool as Ten-Faced Demon too, so the change in villains midway through also kinda hurt. Mole had the dumbest death; mold of all things, really? Overall it was a good show. I enjoyed it quite a bit even if it got hit by the retool stick pretty hard. I'll probably be watching W, Kuuga, OOO, or Fourze next. After KLK I think I'm set for Nakashima writing for a while, so Fourze's the least likely.

It was exactly to do with how graphic it was. Parents complained, so it got cancelled pretty quickly.

What's a good storage/display solution for my Figuarts? No matter how well balanced they are, they do tend to fall over when my old-rear end bookshelves get bumped a bit, and I'd rather not lose any more of Red Hawk's hands and guns.

You can buy figuarts stands for them, that keeps them up pretty well. They're not terrifically expensive and a bunch come in one set. I'm glad I bought a bunch of them. :3

So Heisei (barely) won in the Kamen Rider Taisen poll. I admit I'm disappointed, I really wanted to see Showa guys kicking more modern butts. Maybe it will be a special?

From what I've heard of the ending, it matters so little that Toei might as well have been trolling with the poll.

Who cares? Like what you like. I like Decade and Kabuto, there are people who would see me killed for my beliefs. I have to move twice a year because I think Tsukasa was a fun character.

I agree that Tsukasa is a fun character! But that doesn't stop the series from being poo poo. Twisty of Fate posted:Who doesn't like Kabuto. I want to see hands Have mine. Kabuto's a goddamn trainwreck, and not the entertaining kind. Sad, because I love the suits and most of the secondary Riders, but the series completely derails...by episode 30, if I don't badly remember, and never recovers, it can never decide if we're meant to take Tendou as a fun exaggeration of a perfect character or a true, godly perfect character that everyone should love despite being an rear end in a top hat to literally everyone except his family, and the Natives are boring as hell.
