This here is a collaborative creation between myself and an old friend that goes by the name, Savory Cade. In high school we had all these stories we created based around myself and my friends. Before there ever was a Rival Schools, there was Billy Shank the Danger Boy and the Heroes of Verona High. Damn good times. The transformation sequences of the Danger Boy, Overdrive and Kid Doppler were actually come up with over dinner in a mall. Our brains stormed, we laughed, and I even remember us coming up with the detail of Kid Doppler always having a little bruise on his forehead because of all the crush charges he smashed into his forehead to used in battle. My friend went on into college and this was his masterpiece. Long after he’d moved on, his college professor continued to present this creation of Cade’s to show off what the students could accomplish if they put their minds to it.

Each of these characters, except Aqua, has a person behind it and a story to go along with each of their little details. Even Overdrive’s lime green t-shirt has a story that maybe I’ll tell of another day.

After the jump you’ll see a fan created “animated” telling of the blockbuster and ground breaking Transformer saga, “The War Within” from Transformer comic legends, Simon Furman and Don Figueroa, brought to you from the blokes over at TFCog.Net. Said to have been downloaded already 2,000 times, you get to watch it with the click of a button right after the break.

Holy fucking, SCIENCE! I am told by a little birdy that this is do in no small part, because YOU demanded it! The Power Rangers are coming to Anime Central 2008! Congratulations to us all. We started the fight… and we FINISHED the FIGHT!

Well, to carry us through the weekend I picked up these two ditties from our heroes at EJ. The Sentai that started it all for most of us. Bag on it if you will, but if it weren’t for Might Morphin’ Power Rangers, a good shit ton of us wouldn’t be here… hell, HJU may have never existed. And now thanks to the efforts of Elite Justice Fansubs, we can see the story how it was originally told.

And after the jump, we have Kamen Rider SD waiting for ya. A crossover of classic Kamen Riders…. anime style. Enjoy and I’ll see ya next week!

OMG! RUN FOR YOUR LIVES GUYS! IT’S THE LOGOS!

Believe it or not, people have admitted to being freaked out by these logos when they were kids. At first it just seemed like one of those things that maybe it was kinda creepy when you were younger that you just laugh about now, that was until I actually sat through the montage and I was left scratching my head as to why and how the logos for Random House, the BBC, and That Typewriter Guy suddenly became the thing of nightmares.

Beats the daylights out of me. Besides, the time I could spend wondering how this Logophobia actually works is time better spent delivering this week’s Friday ACE!

LESSON 46: THE GYAWA-GYAWA MEMORY
Airs January 20th 2008.

Jan feels the same energy that he felt in Rio when he went mad in the golden scale Sha-Fu had found. It was found in what used to be Jan’s birthplace and he seems to remember it from some other time. So they call Gorie Yen who using the Gekiwaza Min-Min Ken (Sleeping Fist), trace back Jan’s memory. What they saw was an enormous golden monster destroying the village. This means the demise of the village was not caused by the wind!

THE CLIMAX GOES ON AND ON AND ON
Airs January 20th 2008.

Zeronos Zero Form can’t stand Death Imagin’s great power. Kai has gathered energy and the sky is starting to whirl. Is that destructive event going to repeat itself?
Ryotaro and Momotaros step out of the Den Liner with the words “We won’t let you erase this time.”
Then, Ryotaro finally makes his wish to Momotaros, what could it be?!

NEW X-MEN #46
MESSIAH COMPLEX PART 12
Sinister is dead. The mutant messiah is in the hands of Mystique. X-Force faces the combined wrath of the Marauders and the Acolytes. And the New X-Men must contend with the threat of Predator X. What does this mean for everyone involved? Whatever the outcome, the future of mutantkind begins here!

In an unexpected turn of events, 2007’s sentai was the main toku of the year that brought us the best action, grit, badassery and drama. The villians stole the show and made it so I never missed an episode. And in 2008, it looks like Kamen Rider is the horse to bet on. The fandom’s leading expert in all things Rider, Igadevil, has put up a blog detailing everything we need to know as we close up our time traveling adventures with Den-O and “WAKE UP!” with Kiva. You can read the first bits here for a running start, then hit the jump to read the rest over at Igadevil’s Blog. Ready…..

Kamen Rider Kiva Update

In any case, Kamen Rider Kiva is 2008’s Rider series! Starting (or waking as the tagline goes) up on 1/27, it’s just a few weeks away. Details about it have been out there for-freaking-ever by now, although as usual I’ve waited until the major Rider-covering magazines (Hyper Hobby, Figure-O, Terebi Magazine & Terebi Kun) are out before making any fuss about it. And now that those are out (and have been out for some time now), I present my initial thoughts.
