1986. For some reason the user of the Ixa system was Jiro and not Yuri, who goes to shima and heatedly complains. Shima just wont listen. What the desperate Yuri did next was to ask Otoya out!

Through blessed fortune I got the invite to fly out to LA over last weekend and hit the Kamen Rider Dragon Knight Wrap Party. I’ve more pictures to share with you, but right off, I can’t begin to say what an incredible time I had. It was like stepping off the edge of the planet and into a fanboy dream.

I’ve also had the privilege to see the first four complete episodes of Kamen Rider Dragon Knight in all their glory. What can I say? This is not Power Rangers…. it’s something new and awesome. It won’t be killing Power Rangers, but PR will no longer be the only game in town and the bar has been raised.

There’s a lot I can’t say, but there’s still plenty important things that I am allowed to talk about. And I’ve been talking about them all day in the forums. Swing on in, drop a Q and I’ll see if I got an A or two for ya.

Said to be potentially the anime of 2008 by Mike of R5 Central, I thought I’d put this up for us to enjoy over the weekend.

Found by KR Aftershock and posted by the one called, Forever Red, it looks like the Dragon Knight Riders are getting something the Ryuki Riders should have had all along… actual motorcycles. Click the above pic for a bigger picture and after this weekend, hopefully I’ll have some pretty surprising exclusives for ya.

More as it breaks.

1986. The Ixa System of the Wonderful Blue Sky Association is complete. Turns out that the one who designed it was Yuri’s mother. She was killed and could not complete it.
