Art by Jamie Noguchi

This Week:
Two years ago, a hot blooded youth from the future and his Cyber Assistant started a Japanese Pop Culture podcast that has since evolved into a Giant Flaming Katamari of Epic Chaos ™. This week, Mike, Sylene, and Mai celebrate 50 episodes of the continued run of the GFKoEC that is R5 Central with this Mega Episode to shatter the heavens. So massive, in fact, that it has to be split up into THREE episodes!

Featured in this portion: Short but sweet segments featuring Mike and Card Captor Will going on about Kamen Rider Den-O and later Sylene with the first four episodes of Kamen Rider Kiva. Also, the long-awaited Well Wish Montage, the Pick of the Week…and a quick glimpse at the future after the credits that you can’t afford to miss!

Keith Justice Says: “Hey folks! If you’re new to the site and all the kickassery around here, but sure to check out parts A and B of R5 Central after the jump! And you’ll catch a brief promo of HJU/R5’s interview with Matt Mullins who plays Kamen Rider Wing Knight and the first part of our interview with Mark Musashi at the end of Part C. See you there!

Welcome one and all to the grand opening of the Henshin Justice Unlimited Photo Gallery. I’ve been meaning to post this up YEARS ago, but just never found the time or a person with the time ’til the one called Valek stepped up to help us out. Got another trick up our sleave to show ya next week too. That and some more forum upgrades coming down the pipe.

To kick off the grand opening is the pictures I took a couple weeks ago in LA. Some from the final shoot, some while at Steve’s house then finally you get the stars to be rocking it up and rocking hard at the Kamen Rider Dragon Knight wrap party. And as more is revealed and KRDK Productions send out more pictures, I’ll be uploading them into our gallery.

This gallery is also meant for you. I’m going to leave it open so we get pictures from the community and ever since we started the Show Us Your Henshin thread, it was always meant that I gather all of them, then load them to an official HJU Photo Album featuring all of you.

I’ll be posting up Anime Central pictures and the Morphicon pictures as well. BIG thanks to Valek for getting this in the air, and thanks to Fayt for the initial banner. Well, what’re you waiting for? Get on in there!
