If I could get a boost for what few items I’ve got on eBay I’d appreciate it, I simply haven’t been able to get to stuff to put up other things.

action/platformer speedruns: yea we have to do 100 frame perfect tricks to clip through all these sections and it's all skill based and precise practice and speed

old jrpg speedruns: WE HAVE TO TORTURE THE GAME BY RIPPING ITS SOUL OUT AND REPLACING IT WITH DR MARIO TO FORCE IT TO DO OUR BIDDING

Yes I picked up the Uchuusen issue that has them all written in English, I just haven't read it yet 😎

Baku Yorozu

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.

just got served a disconnection notice again. need all the help I can get. pls rt/support at ko-fi link below

Kamen Rider Zeztz vs Crow Nightmare

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.

DX Showa Rider RideWatch Set 2

Called it!

As much as I want a 1984 RideWatch, I’m glad ZX’s has 1982 AS IT SHOULD

It's paper, but good quality photo paper, and they have laminators available to protect it. The Diner has done the placemats before and had a similar set-up. For a while that was the freebie if you chose Sentai instead of the Rider coaster/dish combo. I mainly used them as posters.

With each item you order (apart from the drink that comes with the table charge) you also get a random coaster. I ended up with Steiner, Garnet, Vivi, Salamander (Amarant) and my MVP Ratchel herself.

Lastly, they had some space where you could leave a post-it note message, which I did.

Worth it!🌹

Lindblum’s Traditional Hunting Cuisine

Garnet Til Alexandros XVII’s Favorite Pink Pudding

And for food, “Lindblum’s Traditional Hunting Cuisine” (steak) and “Garnet Til Alexandros XVII’s Favorite Pink Pudding” (pudding w/ lots of fruit and cream). Don’t worry, you order everything through QR code with your phone, so you don’t have to remember all that.

Beatrix

Steiner

Vivi

Freija

For drinks, I tried Beatrix (tea flavored with blackcurrant and rose) Steiner (black sesame milk with cream, chocolate, etc) Vivi (ice cocoa with black espuma, you can also get it hot) and most important of all, Freija (aka Freya, cranberry and grapefruit juice).

If you plan on going, the menu is changing at the end of October so some items won’t be around for the renewal (which runs until December). Also, there is a 1200 yen table charge, but you get a drink (including collabo items) and a random placemat after paying at the end. Also, be sure to reserve.

Square Enix Pop Up Cafe in Shinjuku

Final Fantasy IX 25th Anniversary Limited Menu 9.20~10.31

They’ve done up the interior to remind you exactly what game is having its 25th Anniversary

I went to the Square Enix Pop Up Cafe currently featuring the Final Fantasy IX 25th Anniversary limited menu. This is a collabo with Pasela (as in Kamen Rider the Diner) and it was a similar level of quality (re: great) if a little more low-key, being a temporary spot. Not cheap, but well worth it.

Kamen Rider Zeztz vs Bomb Nightmare

Episode 3 justified making this story a two-parter. If the introduction of Kamen Rider's motorcycle isn't the big conclusion, the actual big conclusion had better have some HIGH stakes. And this does! I'm curious what this show will look like in another 10-15 episodes, but it's acing the beginning.

I've only heard about it, but it looks pretty neat!

Part 2 I guess!

-Amemiya considered it a difficult film to realize, but liked the end result and gives A LOT of credit to Takeya.
-And finally, more of an observation: More time has passed between 1995 and now than between 1972 and 1995. 😱

-Sega was the main sponsor for the film (not Bandai) so there was no contemporary merchandise from them. When Takeya went on to work on the S.I.C. line, the Hakaider ended up resembling his movie version somewhat (although not completely by intent, but that was a story “too long to share”!)

-Amemiya revealed the different suits for ZO and J when on their bikes didn’t allow for a shot where they could come to a stop and dismount. He was glad to be able to have such a moment with Hakaider (as the design allowed the same suit to be used on and off the motorcycle.)

-Steve Wang visited the set (although Amemiya wasn’t there at the time and missed him.) He told Takeya “I’m a big fan of you” and Takeya (also a fan of his) said in English “Me too” later realizing he sounded like he was praising himself. Nirasawa (RIP) later got a good laugh at this story.

-The triangular keyhole and unlocking device in the beginning of the film came from a dream Takeya had after a few drinks
-Amemiya was worried Ishinomori wouldn’t like that Michael’s face turns into Kikaider’s, but his reaction was actually positive. That got applause from the theater.

Highlights:
-Even the people who made this can’t believe it was shown alongside the Ohranger and B-Fighter films
-The script didn’t have much detail, so Takeya (in charge of modeling coordination) just created a lot of ideas on the fly. The creature in Kaoru’s dream is just “a skeleton” on paper

Nobuhiro Suzumura, Keita Amemiya, Takayuki Takeya talked MECHANICAL VIOLATOR HAKAIDER

That was an event! Before the movie they screened 3 Hakaider-centric episodes of the original Kikaider (38, 40, 42). Daisuke Ban made a surprise appearance.

After the main feature (in full 35 mm glory) Keita Amemiya and Takayuki Takeya talked about the film, with director Nobuhiro Suzumura as MC.

Kamen Rider Zeztz on his motorcycle jumping through an explosion

Episode 2 kept up the quality from last week. The characters are (mostly) getting filled out more and the action is super. The motorcycle stuff exceeded even my expectations. Next week looks pretty apocalyptic for episode 3. It's an odd little show, but it feels confident in what it's trying to be.
