I think we should call this, Kamen Rider Castlevania. 
Gotta make this quick, cuz I gotta roll out soon into the long dark knight of a Madison winter. The first vid is courtesy of my homie, the Lazer Lord, and is the first part of our adventure in the far off lands of Michigan while we attended the awesome-tastic, Youmacon. Next up is brought to us courtesy of TV Nihon, and is that GameCenter CX show that Gaijinder told us about waaaaay back. In this episode, he rocks Ultraman for what looks like the Super Nintendo. And last but FAR from least is the video game awards show brought to you by the boys of Team Fremont Live. You HAVE to see it. While it has the HUGE AND GLARING omission of HJU’s beloved blockbuster, Mass fucking Effect, the rest of it incredibly entertaining and hilarious… even if it is a little PS3 heavy. Click on, enjoy the shows, and enjoy the weekend!

Before we go on, here’s last year’s theme to the occasion to which this edition of Friday ACE is dedicated.
As of this Sunday, I will be 22 years old. 22 years of walking this troubled planet and it’s convention wastelands and making it back in one piece to blow out the candles on the cake. I’ll be out of town celebrating the festivities with a friend of mine but even though there’s the promise of seeing Rambo on opening day, I still wish I could do what this guy did for his movie trailer.
This is Sakichi Sato. You may recognize him as Charlie Brown in Kill Bill Vol. 1. Others know him as the screenwriter for Gozu and Ichi The Killer and for directing Tokyo Zombie.
Anyways, click the pic to see the Greatest Movie Trailer of 2008 which consists of him being surrounded by cameras and screaming the synopsis of his forthcoming anthology film, “Sonna Mucha Na!!” (lit. That’s So Stupid!!). I can only dream of being able to get away with that for an R5 Central promo.
Anyways, it’ll be slightly shorter than usual as I’m preparing for transit to said vacation but nevertheless, here is this week’s Friday ACE!
DESTINY, WAKE UP!
Airs January 27th 2007.
A church 22 years ago, 1986…
In a funeral, the man in the coffin suddenly revives! Black veins become visible in the man’s face, he transforms into a Fangire and starts absorbing the life of the people in the church. The man fully transforms into Spider Fangire and attacks the mourners one after another.
Suddenly, a woman, Yuri, confronts the Spider Fangire with a weapon, leading to a combat with an unknown conclusion…
22 years later, present day.
Another day comes, and the strange man with a mask and glasses, Wataru, collects fish bones from the fish dealer. Apparently this is part of the reason he can’t interact with anyone and the local housewives call him “Obaketarou of the Haunted House” (Obake = Ghost).
Wataru lives his daily life in a room with lots of violins hanging form the walls and ceiling. The glowing red eyes of Kibat keep watching him.
Who is this young man Wataru? What are his objectives?
LESSON 47: PIKA-PIKA! MY PATH
Airs January 27th 2007.
Ron was behind it all. The Gekirangers intend to go to the Rinjuuden, where Ron awaits, to rescue Mele, but Rio disappears, saying he won’t go back to the Rinjuuden. The Gekirangers then decide that Jan will go after Rio while the rest goes to the Rinjuuden. Meanwhile, Rio, knowing that his life and purpose were nothing but an instrument for Ron’s plans, has lost his life’s purpose. Jan finds him and…
X-MEN #207
