Episode 10: Valuable paintings are being stolen and that's a bummer, but the truly important story here is that after 52 years, the Main Building of Tokyo's Inter-University Seminar House returns to Kamen Rider! It previously appeared as a research center way back in Kamen Rider V3 episode 32.

I met her almost 20 years ago and she’s barely changed. She also got some of the biggest laughs of the evening. She is a national treasure.
Michi is a great host and of course let himself get flipped on his back (on a hard wood stage no less) as is tradition. If you ever see him in LA, say hi! 🧵

An evening with V3 & friends
I attended a talk event today hosted by my pal Michi Yamato (suit actor of Masked Rider who regularly organizes these) featuring Kamen Rider V3 himself, Hiroshi Miyauchi, and THE Junko Tama herself, Hizuru Ono, sharing all about about the making of V3.

Overall a strong (and tasty) showing once more. Some of these I’d probably order again! They’re definitely getting me back at least one more time. Maybe twice.
The cafe runs until 2025/12/12. #FinalFantasyIX

November is here and Squeenix changed up the menu at the cafe. They also have different coasters and placemats now, so once again the quest is on to try and get everything related to my favorite dragoon. And to ultimately try everything on the menu because at this point, why not?

Episode 9 for reals: Given the last week, I needed some good tokusatsu, and this was it. A little classic Rider BSing to get out of things (those guys were clearly choking to death, but the sauce was THAT good, so it's okay!) while Nox is on a quest to introduce new toys. Xmas is coming after all!

Kamen Rider THE FIRST
Hey, this movie turned 20 years old last week. In the last two decades, almost everything in it has been superseded, literally by Shin Kamen Rider and stylistically by other productions (W Forever comes to mind). Its greatest asset is, ironically, the nostalgia it cultivates.

The Shining Star of Losers Everywhere
One of the best documentaries I've ever seen about a subject I otherwise know nothing about nor have any engagement with. It's short and absolutely worth a watch.

No, you're not seeing things. I just forgot to add this after seeing it ON THE BIG SCREEN in September. bsky.app/profile/igad...
Like after revisiting Kamen Rider J, even better than I remember it being.

Finally, some good news!

Finally watched the first episode of the new Akakage. I'd heard some mixed reviews, but this was pretty alright? It's a little more slow-paced and grounded than the 60's show, but it's got the right ideas. Some parts are still straight out of that version. I couldn't confuse it with anything else.

Episode 9: The weirdest episode so far- none of the scenes from last week’s trailer were even in it! Nox’s big plan was to run away while the good guys slowly follow? Fujimi and Nagumo narrate, but mostly it’s a lot of excited yelling. And Ace was promised but he never showed up! Dammit, Reiwa era!

Episode 8: A biological weapon linked to fine dining with deadly international repercussions- is this Kabuto's nightmare? Also add another fictional country to the Riderverse map. They teased something pretty big next time, and now Zeztz is [redacted] so make sure to check this one out ASAP.

And there’s the classy Amarant-themed seafood pasta, and a Moogle dessert that had seemingly everything. And I had to get Freya’s drink one more time before it gets phased out. From November, the menu gets an overhaul, though you can still get the anniversary cake, latte and Vivi drink.

I decided to try all the limited menu items that will be rotated out at the end of the month. Highlights include the Chocobo digging-themed salad, where finding all the non-lettuce ingredients requires, well, digging, and the sandwich with (appropriately fake) ticket-themed paper wrapper.

Well, they got me back for round 2.
Somehow I missed the giant screen out front last time.

Episode 7: Good stuff. The overall story moves forward and gives a compelling direction to take things in. I like Nox. We even have the "somebody's in a coma" thing I thought they might do in the first episode (Baku getting Sam Tyler'd back to the 70's would be pretty cool to see next year, NGL)

Episode 6: Rider Prison Break! Kinda. This one is mostly pretty average, and then suddenly WHAT ‼️⁉️ I have no idea where they're going with this, but they've got my attention. Don't want to say any more than that, just watch it.
And I saw the thing that attachment claw did, show.

Episode 5: Pretty good wrap-up to the VIP bride storyline and debut of [I haven't learned all the names yet so it's the blue shooty one] form. Also glad they did something that I would usually expect to see take much longer to get to. The show moves leisurely, but things are always happening in it.

Episode 4: The long Kamen Rider traditions of wedding interruptions and/or fighting in church continue. We also finally have the outro as an intro. And the obligatory "hey, here are some new toys, 7" scene. It's half of the story so we'll see how next week goes, but again, so far so good.
