Kamen Rider Build is the television series we need but don’t deserve. And as we dive further into this exemplary action show, it’s got me wondering if one character will die a hero or live long enough to see himself become the villain. This is episode 19. Another week, another twist to add to the […]
Earth of the future has seen better days, as the giant lizard Godzilla has been having his way with the planet for thousands of years while the humans who abandoned it have tried and mostly failed to colonize other, less hellish planets than the one they once called home. This is the premise as we […]
The battle to save Touto from the fires of war continue on Kamen Rider Build, as genius amnesiac Kiryuu Sento finds he’s not the only bug-eyed super-dude without memories running around these days. Last time, Kamen Rider Kiva‘s Takeda Touhei debuted as the new mystery soldier from neighboring territory Hokuto, leading the charge (in his […]
It’s funny. I started out reviewing Kamen Rider Build under the assumption that, at some point, it would be less necessary to discuss each episode of the series on an individual basis. Like with most entries into the Kamen Rider franchise (to say nothing of its counterparts in Super Sentai), I expected that we’d eventually […]

So, here we are at the finale of the Ultraman Geed television series. And while there’s so much to have loved about this story of the son of a corrupt titan taking his place among vaunted heroes, I can say that my feelings about the show’s end, in many ways, mirror the same complicated thoughts […]
Who needs breaks? Not Kamen Rider Build, that’s for sure! Since the newest addition to the Kamen Rider television legacy burst onto the scene, they’ve barreled forward full steam ahead, running right over every narrative pot hole that could have slowed it down along the way, redefining what it means to have a sweeping television […]
Never underestimate toy company Bandai’s ability to turn a mundane inanimate object into an uber-powerful super-weapon. You’ll lose every bet you make against them. And so, we continue our hike through the tense valley of story that is the Kamen Rider Build television series. In what has got to be the most well-written opening act […]
After a short break from the high drama discussed in our last review, the Ultraman Geed series picks right back up for the final leg of its sprint toward the finish line. And with only four episodes left to make it happen, this show is pulling out all the stops, laying one side of the […]
Lucky Number Thirteen has arrived for the outstanding Kamen Rider Build, and there may be no better number than to drop this episode’s huge revelation concerning one of the show’s biggest, baddest villains so far. Okay, so it’s not the most shocking plot twist of all time. We’ve been speculating for months about the identity […]
