Yoshiette 1: WHAT THE HELL!? YOU ALREADY DID THAT 2 WEEKS AGO!!!!!

A. Yoshi: Fine...

After Kamen Rider BLACK aired, I'm pretty sure Toei thought that they couldn't outdo themselves, So they remodeled Black, gave him a new set of enemies, and the second series came out as Black RX! Some fans thought it was the best of the Showa Era, but some thought it was not as good as the Original, but Where do I Stand? Well...

Before we begin, Let's talk Kyuuranger, We've all made the 9 rangers observation, but how does it look with the few pics we do have. Not that bad, granted some rangers look better better than others, but This is like Saint Seiya or Gransazer, Which I've totally got to finish up some day. I wouldn't be surprised to see some Greek gods as villains. I can't wait to see it, especially if the pattern of post anniversary seasons continues and we have a darker season... That's all I've got, now let's pass the torch of Kamen Rider series...

A-MA-ZONS!!!!!!!!!!

DID YOU HEAR THE SKIES? THE NAME IS... AMAZON RIDERS, HERE WE ARE!!!!!! COME IF YOU WILL, DEMONS OF EVIL, DID YOU SEE? THE JUNGLER'S STILL HERE!!!! THEY'RE FANGS SHINE ON, A TOOTH FOR A TOOTH!!!!! THEY'RE CLAWS ROAR, AN EYE FOR AN EYE!!!!! IF IT'S FOR JUSTICE, THEY'LL BECOME MONSTERS!!!!! AMAZON RIDERS HAS ARRIVED!!!!!!


Kamen Rider Amazon is a beastman who can turn into a Kamen Rider. his series had violence and gore like you wouldn't believe. the new series amplifies it, now with a good helping of body horror, social commentary, and twice the violence and gore of the original series. How does this series fare, especially since it's getting a season 2?

This Segment is brought to you by the A. Yoshi Patreon...

ATATATATA!!!!!! 2-HIT COMBO!!!!!!

In 2000, Kamen Rider was Relaunched with one mission, To sell more Toys. After a dwindling Super Sentai franchise and the metal hero franchise being derailed, Toei and Bandai was in need for a new best seller. Their idea, relaunch Shotaro Ishinomori's baby, after the failure of Black RX, and a few movies in the 90s, Kamen Rider was relaunched with more toyetic items, like belts, weapons, New Forms, and later new Riders. The Final forms are where the big bucks are, so enough stalling, which Forms were the best? Find out today... One per series, no honorable mentions, so let's go...

Wizard's adventure in Harry Potter Land... Kamen Rider Wizard In Magic Land: The Movie review (My 300th Blog!)

This Segment is brought to you by the A. Yoshi Patreon...

56K BEWARE!!!

Wow 300 blogs,...

Yoshiette 2: THIS IS YOUR SPARTATH BLOG!!!!!!

*Ignoring* I didn't think I would get that many in the almost 5 years I've been doing this. Heck Long ago, I didn't think I would turn this into an obsession. I've got almost 32,000 views on the 300 blogs I've done. I don't know how much of you like my blogs, but if you actually read even just one of them, that means a lot to me. So let's talk today about unpopular opinions, we've all got at least one, my big one is me overrating Kamen Rider Wizard. It's not the best rider series, but it's one of my favorites, considering I've got a good selection of rider series to choose from. /s Yeah, wizard was the first Rider series I watched while it was airing. it got me into Kamen Rider like I did, It got me into currently running Tokusatsu, Heck it got me into tokusatsu costume designs. But what do I think of it's movie? find out today...

ATATATATA!!!!!! 2-HIT COMBO!!!!!!

Over a year ago, I teased my OOO review along with it's movie, but I haven't seen the series yet. Now I have, what do I think of it (especially since people thought it belonged on the Top 5 Must See Kamen Rider Series over Wizard, but  you need to understand, Wizard has a special place in my heart (I won't explain why now, but keep assured, something like that is coming))? It's pretty good, don't see myself putting it over Wizard, but It makes the perfect companion show to the AMAZING GOKAIGER!!!! In all seriousness, OOO is a great series for those who liked Gokaiger back in the day.

Top 5 Must See Kamen Rider Series

This Segment is brought to you by the A. Yoshi Patreon...

I did this for super Sentai a little over a year ago, You bet your ass I'm doing this for The bug eyed, motorcycle riding, rider kicking badasses known as Kamen Riders. Kamen Rider is much Darker than Sentai, but it's more dense. So Kamen Rider isn't really the best introduction to toku. but I gathered a list of Kamen Rider Series to start out with based off of a mix of my personal Cream of the Crop, Beginner accessibility, and most people I can recommend it to. Keep in Mind I haven't seen everything. even more so than super Sentai, some rider series I plan to watch include Stronger, More of Amazon, more of Super-1, Kuuga, Ryuki, Blade, and Kiva, and I'm watching OOO and Black RX as I'm Writing this... Without further Fanfare, Here we go, Count Zero, Kamen Rider Agito...

Goodbye Drive, Hello Ghost...

Yeah, we'll get to the Kamen Rider stuff, but I want to quickly touch on the Juohger reveal, which can be summed up in one 6 word sentence, "So yeah, That was a thing" Be honest, the helmets look alright, but what kills the suit for me is the rest of it. The torso looks like something you can get at the Hot Topic or Rainforest Cafe. I don't want these douches to save the world for an entire year and based on the mech designs, it looks like we're getting another Comedy Sentai. Ninninger was the right idea, but not quite there. The mech looks like a freaking Lego robot, and I don't just mean those cool space sets, I mean it looks like a robot you could built with Legos you can buy in a tub from a big box store.  The folding robots worked for Shinkenger, but they look like crap here. As of now the role play weapons haven't been revealed, but if they look as ass as the mechs and suits do, I almost wish we got Space Bugs for the 2016-2017 season. I wrote a blog for how a space bugs season would go. Who knows maybe the season will rock my socks off, but so far I'm not impressed...

Naimitsu Sentai Chameleman (released in the US as Power RangersChameleon Force). Kamen Rider Black Movie 1 Mini Review

This Segment is brought to you by the A. Yoshi Patreon...

This year for Toku Month, I'm not doing any skits, any storylines, or anything like that... Instead, I'm doing 2 movies of Kamen Rider Black, the series, and that's the basic jist of Toku Month 2015, a little smaller this year, but all for a big payoff on the 31st.


Yoshiette 1: Hurry and get your costume on!!!

A. Yoshi: Oh god da... HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!

*A few minutes later*

Great I look like a knight executioner in steel linger...

Yoshiette 2: No your Robin Mask from Kinnikuman...

AY: But I wanted to be...

Duck Nukem: I wanted to be the Pilsbury Doughboy, but Tough Gungans!!!! You're stuck as a Knight with debatable sexuality, and I'm stuck as this dude named Warsman! Oh, by the way, Hide that Gut...

AY: But why are the Yoshiettes Ramenman and Brocken Jr.?

DN: Because the writer didn't want to seem misogynistic in the way he writes female characters... and they don't have to be in revealing or questionable outfits.

YE1: Um... Yoshi, You're live in 10 seconds...

Learn your ABC's of Gaia Memories!!!! Kamen Rider W Forever: A to Z/Gaia Memory of Fate Movie Director's Cut Review

Like almost all heisei era Kamen Rider Movies, Kamen Rider W had it's own movie, And like almost all movies in that section of the franchise, It had a director's cut, I like watching my rider movies in this format, Hence the reason I haven't watched the Wizard movie yet (though Toei hasn't said squat about that version of that movie as of this writing). So how is this movie? Is it better than the other 2 rider movies I reviewed?

W-B-X, CRIME AND THE CITY!!!!! Kamen Rider W Review

There comes a question in every toku fans life that is "What is the best Kamen Rider Series?" I'd Answer 555, Kabuto or Black. Another question that comes up in a lot of Toku fans is "What series do you recommend to beginners?" It's something I'll answer later, but I have to say one series comes to every Rider fans mind when they get this question.  That series is the W-Boiled-Extreme series known as Kamen Rider W. It's a great series too. To find out why, read my review. What is it about this series that's universally loved by toku fans everywhere?

Goodbye Gaim, Hello DRIVE!!!!!!

OK, This is going to be my final thoughts on Gaim and first thoughts on Drive... Both Kamen Rider Series... Gaim was an interesting series. It started out not terribly great, to being above OK, to a good series to a  dark twisted series that has to be seen to be believed. It is the darkest of the neo heisei era, and the darkest tokusatsu that's aimed at kids that does it's job... Unlike certain other Toku that doesn't know what it wants to be,,, *Go-Busters* But let's talk about the bigger picture...

Talking a Bunch of Toku Part 2

Talking a bunch of Toku, Part 1

So, where did I go for the umpteenth time? I admit, when I do blogs, I want to make it something special, I want it to mean something, kind of the reason why I retried the big epic storyline, and also the reason R.Cubed is on hiatus. Not to mention I'VE BEEN BUSY!!!!!!!!! A mix of the two reasons caused me not to do a blog for almost a month, but anyway, On to the intro.
