So here’s a double meaning behind this week’s title. Well triple…okay maybe more than that but just hear me out.
Aside from the fact that, according to Daryl Surat, R5 Central killed Newtype USA, and that Gainax has just announced yet ANOTHER Gurren Lagann soundtrack that has all the stuff that we’ve been dying to hear since the end of the series, my house was broken into with me inside of it.
Don’t worry I’m fine, all that was stolen was my mom’s laptop and I was shaken up for a few days and it didn’t help that the stress and sudden temperature changes in Wisconsin brought about a nasty case of the flu which turned into a “I’m Not Going To Be Able To Do Any Work” Head Cold, setting back two episodes of R5 and putting me behind on all the radio plays I’m involved with.
Crime aside, there are some really sweet things that came out of the woodwork this week, hence the one positive thing to warrant this title. Most of which you’ll get a kick out of. Hopefully. Even though there isn’t a lot. Blame it on this rush editing of mine.
So yeah, let’s do this like Brutus.

Sometimes I wonder how I got so many of you to hang out with me here at HJU. Then I think to myself, it probably helps that I actually love my posters and visitors. I see most websites that almost seem to tolerate the people that make their sites worth visiting. Some places that just seem to hunt for someone to fuck up. Others seem barely aware that they have people that come to their sites. Here… I’m thankful everyday I look down at the bottom of the forum to see so many people logged in and hanging out. As I’ve said many times, I don’t know much about tokusatsu. Not half of what everyone else here knows. But I like the fandom, I love you guys, and I just wanted to say, thank you for all the birthday wishes, happy birthday also to Japan Hero Jeff, and I look forward to rocking out with you all for another year. \m/^__^\m/
For Great Justice,
Keith “Justice” Hayward

This was the aftermath of my New Year’s Eve experience.
Juggling Rock Band with social interaction (i.e Slipping on spilled beer, watching my friend get hit in the face with a cake, etc.), the living room was covered in a barrage of confetti cannons, turning things into a miniature re-enactment of Times Square in New York. Despite it being blurry, this picture really sums it up. God I miss having a beanbag of my own.
But then of course, the best part was afterwards when I heard that my mother was spending New Year’s alone due to my father having to go into work and I embarked on a journey to try and bus it home (T’was free to ride that night). Sadly, it ended with me getting stranded and nearly frostbitten, my mom going to bed before I got there and a reminder that a certain friend of mine freaking rocks.
….Okay, enough personal bits. Let’s make up for lost time and start the year off right with a brand spanking new Friday ACE!

While it’s not GARO, Cutey Honey serves as that third “mature” alternative Tokusatsu that I’m really enjoying. The Pretty Guardians of Sailor Spork continues it’s streak with having dropped Episode 12 a while ago. And since I like puttin’ up a video on Fridays if we don’t have Gaijinder’s ACE…. here ya go!
P.S. This is NOT for kiddies.
