We've finally cleared Akiba April, so this week we're getting into backstories of all sorts. First, Hanto is the last to learn Rakia's backstory. Kinjiro and Sumino learn the backstory of the Reiwa Era: the Showa Era. Then, we learn the backstory of the human who got turned into Lachesis from Gotchard, and it's a bloody good time.   Casters Present:  Blue Gray Orange Green Red  Show Notes: https://www.patreon.com/posts/128034619 Required Viewing: Kamen Rider Gavv 32,  No.1 Sentai Gozyuger 10,  Kamen Rider Gotchard - The Dark Revelation: Lachesis  Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hSsYDmYY90w   Hungry?

The one and only Tom Constantine, actor, stunt actor, action director, and beloved "white guy in a Japanese thing" joins us for a two-part Q&A session. In part 2, we talk more about Tom himself, the work he's done, some of his favorite tokusatsu entries, and what else he gets up to aside from tokusatsu. Again, tangents abound.

The one and only Tom Constantine, actor, stunt actor, action director, and beloved "white guy in a Japanese thing" joins us for a two-part Q&A session. In part 1, we field a few questions from the Castranger community aimed more towards the filming and technical sides of tokusatsu production. Of course, we go down a few random tangents along the way, as Castranger often ourselves do.

The Three Little Casters bring you this week's reactions to Gavv as the Zeludacs begin their takeovers. In Gozyuger, Garyudo's formal debut is as questionable as Hoeru's acting. In week 3 of Akiba April, the Akibarangers break into reality, but not without consequences.  Casters Present:  Blue Gray Yellow  Show Notes: https://www.patreon.com/posts/126977175 Required Viewing: Kamen Rider Gavv 30,  No.1 Sentai Gozyuger 8,  Hikonin Sentai Akibaranger 7-9  Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6-W-KqaFXCQ   Hungry?

This week of Castranger, which falls on the 50th Anniversary of Super Sentai and the anniversary of Hikonin Sentai Akibaranger, which we totally timed on purpose, begins with us enjoying Shouma and Hanto's blooming bromance with the debut of Valen Frappe Custom, the graceful bowout of Tokonatsu aka Don Momotaro in Gozyuger, and beginning Akiba April, we discuss how our two nerds and one karate girl delude themselves into being the Super Sentai that parodies its own genre in a way that, to some, may tow the line between good and mean-spirited. Yes, we discussed Akibaranger before, but we're DOING IT AGAIN! Deal with it! Also, Ichi has a hot take about Daizyujin's desert cloak.

No episodes of Gavv or Gozyuger aired this past week so instead we discussed the Gavv Graduations special, aka ten minutes of non-canon high school visual novel gags.

It's a brand new sentai and things are immediately off the rails! All other megazords dead, Master Hand recruiting Reds, our new protag is a Hot Topic lone wolf, and the villains think they're the good guys?
