I'm going to need to redo my movie list. I watched Guillermo Del Toro's Pinnochio and thought it was fantastic. I didn't even realize the whole thing was stop motion which made it even more impressive. What a visionary that man is Top Gun: Maverick was dope. I enjoyed it in IMAX. This movie should ...

I think it hit a bunch of emotional beats while having a messy story and ending. Might check The Batman out if it crosses my path

What about Top toys of 2022??

Anyway, here's my lists for my top books and movies this year. Movies list is a lot shorter, since I spend most of my time either watching sudoku, gaming, or doing stuff for the group. Oh, The Batman, Thor Love and Thunder, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, and Avatar 2 movies are not on your list???

Not much for me in 2022 except my grandpa was admitted to hospital in April. Back in 2019, I sold my Beyblade toy (https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/beyblade/images/5/58/Dragoon_V2.Wh.Xc%27.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20210314175721 ) to my friend at $200 HKD. Months later, I sold all my Digimon cards to...

I don't really keep up with the toy side of things. Was there a problem with the original CSM driver that called for a 2.0 release? Or is Toei just trying to justify re-issuing it? Besides, the barcodes on the Ride Cards this time look more accurate to the prop set. The barcodes on the original CSM...

It's that castle Toei likes to film at. What's it called again? Lots of filming locations can be found here: https://tokusatsunetwork.com/2019/11/tokusatsu-filming-locations/ The Lockheart Castle previously used before Geats: Kabuto (Mansion of Tsurugi / Sasword ). Zi-O Eps 41-43. Final episode of ...

Has anybody here already watched either Shin Godzilla and Shin Ultraman?? I watched Shin Ultraman in October and left the cinema in a mixed feelings. It did have production value, but the narrative is really a hit and missed. It felt like reinventing the iconic moments in a generic way with not enou...

Sounds like she's overdue for a cameo https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E5%92%8C%E9%A6%99 Probably not. The character's humanity was completely wiped in the final episode of 555, there's no human since then. The family of the actress apparently runs a yakiniku restaurant. That's where she most likely ...

Sad they didn't get the surviving Orphenoch lady or og Smart Lady for this role https://www.ladyeve.net/archives/053591 The actress who played the surviving Orphenoch lady on 555 is Waka (和香). In 2019, Karahashi Mitsuru designed a Smart Brain bag with Waka being the model for promotion. Other than ...

This time it's not ShoutFactoryTV doing the license, but Discotek Media instead.

Yes. Read her profile on the JP wiki page.

Even the actor who played Phantom Gremlin also retired on June 2022.

For those of you who loved Ultraman Mebius, take a look at today's Igarashi Shunji after his retirement since 2013.

I always feel sad about Ohkuchi Kengo retiring, I guess he felt like he wasn't a good actor, even though he was glorious as Zett Before Toqger, he played Oda Nobunaga / Armored Warrior Kaijin on Movie Taisen Core. He did his best, but still didn't bring out his best performance for recognition so t...
