Kaitou Sentai Lupinranger vs Keisatsu Sentai Patoranger Episode 19 Review

This week begins on a relatively light note, with Sakuya quickly thwarting a would-be rapist, targeting a young girl. It’s made clear based on dialogue that the rapist is a Gangler, but after being humiliated, he just runs off, rather than changing and attacking.

Kaitou Sentai Lupinranger vs Keisatsu Sentai Patoranger Episode 16 Review

Yeah, science! We open on an explanation of why Ganglers explode when killed, and how they can be revived as Kaiju. The prevailing theory is that the safe is the Gangler’s core. Before they can go into too much detail, though, we are met by this week’s Gangler attacking a wedding. It’s an odd crab-stingray-man […]

Kamen Rider Build Episode 37 Review

Sento has been taken over by Evolt, leaving the roles reversed from the previous episode. In Evolt’s own words, this is a downgrade he took for the necessity of survival after Sento’s plan from the previous episode nearly killed them both. The end result leaves Banjou free, but no longer able to transform. When he […]
