Didn't think you'd see this again, huh? Mighty Morphin Zyurangers is back one more time. MMPR's second pilot was just released, so while I may be done comparing Power Rangers to Super Sentai, I've only just begun comparing Power Rangers... to itself! How did the concept and characters evolve over time, and which version did it the best? Check it out now, a week early and ad-free. Thanks so much for your support, and I'd love to hear which version you think should win!

Time for another new story arc, the final one of Dragon Ball GT! The story has twisted the once-benevolent Dragon Balls into our new villains. Goku, Pan, and Giru head off on a new quest. Is a boss rush mode what Dragon Ball needs? I guess we'll find out! See it now, a week early and ad-free. Thanks so much for your support!

Our 20th anniversary celebration of live-action Sailor Moon draws to a close, but there's a lot to go out on. It's time to explore the live-action Sailor Moon expanded mooniverse! Outside of the main series, Usagi and the gang get into all kinds of mischief as they age up, age down, age up 20 years, and put on a live concert for children who are so young they assume they're being abducted from their parents. Also, I might go into a deep dive about fast costume changes. You'll love it! Enjoy i...

A story arc finished in five parts? What a blast from the past! Yes, it's time to wrap up Super #17 already with a fight sequence that makes Goku look really, really dumb. It's rather par for the course here. But what about Super #17's context in the grander GT story? Should this even be considered a standalone story, or does it belong as part of The Evil Dragon Arc? Let's explore! And we can explore it today, a week early and ad-free because of your support! Thanks so much! Hope you enjoy it...

Happy Pride Month, everybody! Seems like a perfect time for more Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon! Our celebration of live-action Sailor Moon continues, but it can't be all celebration. Today it's time to explore those few aspects of the series that just don't measure up. And unfortunately, that includes the finale. Will I finally be broken? Is my love conditional?

Dragon Ball Dissection returns with a little less histrionic ranting but no less confusion about the nonsensical plot. #18, the character with the closest personal connection to the villain, gets but a token appearance. Piccolo has to make a noble sacrifice... again... even though he doesn't have to... again. But, hey, there are some absolutely awesome lines! The bar is a low, but at least I found something to clear it! Enjoy this video a week early and ad-free. Thanks so much for your suppor...

I'm so happy with this video. It's almost certainly going in the Best of the Best Playlist! The 20th anniversary celebration of live-action Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon continues! This time we dig deep into the original Sailor Senshi, Sailor Venus. She's a character I've always felt gets the short end of the stick. I'm guessing the writers of PGSM agreed with me, as they completely revamp the character. What is Minako's new journey, and why do I love it so incredibly much? Check it out now, a ...

Remember Freeza and Cell? Remember when you were a child? Remember when you were happy? Me neither. This is hot garbage. It's hot garbage strung together by logic so flimsy it makes Tullece seem as credible as #16. What does that mean? I don't know! I've lost my mind!

So here's the deal. I'm working on the next Dragon Ball Dissection right now. Covering Dragon Ball GT has been more stressful for me than original Dragon Ball simply because I don't have the ridiculously encyclopedic knowledge of it to recall almost every moment in order. I keep a 100+ document of detailed summaries I have been making to use as a reference. But even then I always freak out I've gotten something wrong. Then I'll have people in the comments correct me on things, and I'll panic,...

After a brief tournament interlude, Dragon Ball Dissection digs into the storyline proper of Super #17. It's, uh, it sure is a thing that happened.

It's time for the GT special! No, it's not the GT movie. There is no GT movie. But there is this. Set well into the future, Goku Jr. is a wuss who embarrasses his grandmother, Pan.

What happens when you put Power Rangers, Twin Peaks, Batman Returns, and The Monkees into a blender? Why, it's the 2003-2004 live-action Sailor Moon series! Hidden away in Japan, the series has flown under the radar. As such, it's easy to miss the inescapable truth: that it's the best version of Sailor Moon that's ever been made. Now that we've reached its 20th anniversary, it's time to celebrate it by giving it the respect it deserves. What makes this series so great? Well, I'm here to tell ...

Dragon Ball Dissection December concludes, as does our look at GT's first story arc. The heroes actually act heroically for once, combining all their powers and resources to save every living being on Earth before it explodes. But that's not very dramatic, so Piccolo, a character who's only been in two episodes, has to die... somehow, for some reason. Even for the story arc that has everything, this is a dramatically potent but completely off-the-point way to end the story. But at least it ma...

Hello, everyone! I've more or less finished up DBD December, and I'm so excited. I'm about to go into hibernation for the holidays, but before I do, I want to make sure I don't find myself caught flat-footed in the new year. I haven't done this in... it will have been three years? Wow. But why don't we do a Q&A again?

So I'm hard at work with Dragon Ball Dissection December. Things worked out in a weird way where I had too big of a gap to not do a video in between MMZyu and DBD December, but I really didn't have a regular release window either.

I tackle a couple of my favorite old fan terms that really caught on back in the day. What is a Senpyou? Is blonde ...

Both teams struggle through their own "Doomsday." The Zyurangers lose their powers and have to jump between dimensions to get them back. The Power Rangers have to fix a radio and wait for an automatic computer update to give them the solution to their problems. Clearly, it's going to be a tight competition. We wrap up our series, looking back at all the other match-ups we've had, and I even throw in a sample Dairanger. So much content! Hope you enjoy it, and hope you stick around for what's t...

But who are these mysterious Tsufruians? When have we encountered them before, and how has their story changed over the years? Believe me, despite their lack of appearances, their story has changed a lot, and I tie it all together for this extra-long episode of Dragon Ball Dissection.
