I hope Micchy doesn't go betrayal, since that would be... terrible for his character. Misguided perhaps.
He may be a caged bird once again if that intro scene comes true.

Number one rule of Kamen Rider Blade, Tachibana-san is always wrong.
Yeah, Toei tends to go right at it when it comes to names.

It's shaped like a tree. In Norse mythology, the Yggdrasil is a tree that connects the nine worlds.

I'd like to think the number on forehead thing on this week's monster is almost a nod to Tokkyuger.
yggdrasil is secretly a foundation x run corporation?
Well, I was more pointing out that it's shaped like a tree because it ENCLOSES a (the!) tree. They seem to have a permanent crack open to helheim from the base of the tree inside the building.
i found myself laughing at this, and being amused at how spot on this is

Oh yeah, Foundation X just vanished in Wizard eh?

Foundation X has only appeared in series and movies where Tsukada is the main producer. No one else seems to be interested in using them so far. And, since Fourze ended, Tsukada has focused in a female police investigators series, not tokusatsu (he produced the Hurricanger 10 years after movie though)... So, it's very likely we won't see them again.

The worst part about the missed opportunity in Wizard is that using Foundation X could have turned a pretty bad plot point into a neat tie in. It's not even just fanservice, it would have improved the story.
"I made an artificial phantom with SCIENCE even though nothing like that had ever been foreshadowed before...!" would have been much more acceptable if his supporters had been Foundation X, tying him to people who have already been established as able to create monsters, rather than just left as an out of nowhere plot device to explain the Wiseman form.
Ryouga is the one that looks out-of-place in that picture.
It's like he doesn't know why he is there.

Casey stopped slanging pizzas and writing the show long enough to take care of zoo animals?
So they're still going with Corinth is an alternate dimension?
I knew the show wasn't even going to get into the
subplot. But a one off?
Where's Basco?
The fuck is that?!
I pray they don't fuck up Go-Busters. That's damn near impossible. But still a possibility.

[NDA] Blade 02 is out
Watch Da Birdie
I buy cakes for myself on my birthday it's not weird lots of people do it I bet
Back when NDA posted on /m/ in the Gaim Sub threads, he showed a folder that indicated he had made great progress through Blade, so had Episode 30 or so pretty much ready to go, so I imagine we'll get new episodes from him tri-weekly.
Excited to watch Blade again, even though the first couple of episodes are really...weirdly put together.
Those episode leaks are both incredibly exciting and incredibly disappointing. With so little time (20 episodes), the choices they made are maddening. Even with the Showa tributes never materializing due to actors not coming back in time, Gokaiger managed to make a tribute episode to each and every one of the seasons that went on to become Power Rangers; and most of them will be skipped here. Heck, using the Deka episode without mention of Kruger or SPD? Skipping the Mystic Force one for the early blue filler? An episode titled "Perfect Storm" and no Ninja Storm team up mention?
The RPM episode sounds really promising, and I really hope Olivia Tennent is there; but going by the Samurai/RPM teamup, the only thing that will be there is the car.

There are understandable logistics issues when it comes to doing tribute episodes for Power Rangers compared to Sentai, though. It's a lot easier to get actors together in Japan than it is flying them from the United States to New Zealand. Certainly you could probably get together someone from each of the seasons where the cast was primarily Australian or Kiwi pretty easily but after that it's a bit of a stretch to be able to reasonably compensate people to take time out to travel internationally just for a single episode. Even then Jason Smith's the only confirmed Disney Ranger that we know about, right?
Of course they could've splashed out a little more to be able to afford that, or to film stuff with the core Mega Force cast and veteran Ranger actors while they were in the US, since you'd think the 20th anniversary is worth that extra expenditure, but Power Rangers has gotta be made as cheaply as possible without exceptions I guess. The fact that they sent out a generic letter to get whoever they could for a couple days filming a month in advance shows how little they cared about this.
woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow.

Could be that Mystic Force tribute is one of the five or six episodes we don't have summaries for. Dunno what most of the cast from that are up to now, but Nick's actor was on a comedic drama show that was pretty big here last/this year.
Yeah, I'm sure most of RPM's cast are still kicking about here and in New Zealand. Dan Ewing's been playing on one of the two big soap operas here. Tennet was in America to do some stuff I think but she's in an Auckland theater production next year.
Like I said, most of the Aus/NZ Rangers would still be around. The problem is that, as far as we know, most of them didn't even get the generic invite.

Go-Busters is free. Saban can't not fuck this up. It was a tribute in itself to MMPR. A underhanded pitch as it were.
Super Samurai was a upswing that I'll admit. I'm not going to judge Super Megaforce before I see it but from what I just read and how middling Megaforce was, my questions about the quality going forward have very much merit.
My only major problem at the moment is not switching Jake & Noah. It makes sense character wise because Noah is no Joe but looking it the other way is that Jake would be doing the crazy wrestling moves that Doc pulled out on occasion but I wouldn't see Saban using that footage anyhow. But since that subplot is dead then it doesn't really matter anyhow and Troy's not getting a Basco replacement either unless he's a one-off villain too which wouldn't surprise me at all.
I also have no idea about that Orion fellow but I guarantee he's no Gai but again from the other side of the fence Gokaiger's plot needed Gai to bring the rest of them full circle as characters so going a completely different slant works because the way the show is being structured doesn't need that anyhow.
And the no duh of it all is Troy is no Based Marvelous.
I'm glad my pain resonates with you fellow TokuGAFfer.

Until Tzachor is kicked off we won't get any quality Ranger for Neo-Saban.
It still feels like there's an issue that appears that very little people seem to realize: Power Rangers is not Super Sentai. They aren't aimed at the same audience, and heck, they aren't aimed at the secondary demographic, either.
Culturally, certain things can be done in Sentai that can't in PR. Power Rangers has the difficulty of working with Sentai footage, but it isn't a handicap.
Writing, yes, we can hope for good writing, but its a kids show. Sometimes competency is all that be guaranteed.
Super Megaforce is not Gokaiger. It shouldn't be held up to Gokaiger's standards.
