Is there a Skull Man renaissance going on, I might ask, and to answer that, I don’t think so, but I’d like to believe there is!

Friends, being away from home can be a fraught experience! Fulfilling basic needs such as eating can become complex challenges when you are not fluent in a country’s language and you have dietary restrictions to consider.

We are now approaching the conclusion of Kamen Rider Gotchard, the beginning of the story’s final arc in preparation for the unveiling of a new show. Foremost amongst the appealing elements of Gotchard have been the show’s alchemical homunculi, the Chemys.

Messengers from Planet C have visited France on two separate occasions yet only briefly! Despite this, we have long maintained a fascination with not only French cinema and music, but also the way they seem to curate foreign pop culture with a view to repurposing it for a domestic audience.

Ando Masanobu’s turn as the machine-gun wielding Kiriyama in 2000’s adaptation of Battle Royale caught everyone’s attention. For a while there, Ando could do wrong. It may seem strange then that his next films were a Catalonian film festival nominated medical drama… and an adaptation of a comic from 1966.

Whilst monitoring signals from your planet, we have become proficient in understanding two things: idols and villains. To characterise Sakamaki’s music as ‘idol music’ would be incorrect, however.

We have been monitoring the radio waves form your planet and have recently noticed that the anime, Fuuto PI, is available to stream on Crunchyroll. As this show functions as a sequel to an earlier entry in Toei’s longstanding Kamen Rider series, Kamen Rider W (2009), I have been appointed to provide you with valuable context regarding the presence of the main characters’ regular informants, Queen and Elizabeth.
