In recent weeks, Kamen Rider Build has been all over the place, tonally. At one moment, the show can be dark, violent, and explore deep philosophical questions such as what it means to be human. In the next, Gentoku will be using his shirts for comedy. That trend continues in episode 43, as we see […]

The Ganglers we know are not the only dimension-hopping criminal syndicate. When the Lymon Gang arrives on the scene, even boss Dogranio takes notice, and we open this episode on the Ganglers plotting how to get around their competitors. A series of kidnappings against chefs leads to Noel asking Touma for help luring out the […]
French romanticism is tested against Japanese sensibilities, as Noel has decided to play Cupid this week, in the name of furthering everyone’s favourite ship. After a quick encounter in which Noel meets the Lupinrangers as a member of the GSPO, he pickpockets Sakuya’s phone off of him, making Umika chase him to give it back. […]
Stone birds, zany CEOs and more in this edition of Ultraman R/B!

The second episode of Ultraman R/B opens on the brothers testing their abilities, including a lot of experimentation with laser blasts cut over dialogue and banter that definitely made me laugh a few times. The […]
If Noel is a con man, he is certainly playing the long game. This week, we see Noel’s allegiance tested, and learn a little more of his back story, as both Good Striker and Kogure acknowledge him as a long-time friend and servant of the Lupin family in France. The police are hesitant to trust […]
A new Build appears! For all the focus in the PV at the end of last week’s episode, this new Build actually plays a fairly minor role in the episode. To the writers’ credit, though, they quickly dispatch with the mystery as to the new Build’s identity. For the ones who haven’t seen the episode, […]
