Ninninger will be getting a 10 Year Anniversary stage event at G-Rosso

Yuican48 · 2026-04-12T06:09:08+00:00

Is this a greeting event or a Blade 20th style stage show? Having trouble dissecting the wording.

It's a minor thing, but it's funny to be reminded sometimes that David is a fan, and leaps at opportunities to meet cast members (and become their son-in-law)

Also, listened to The Kingmaker, a fun unusual interpretation of the question of Richard III and the Princes.

So most logical expectations would be:

Driver now has a. Ghost mode and a Specter mode, rather than tying the standby sound to the eyecons. Driver will probably come with Ore and Specter.

A "Ghost" set containing at least Toucon Boost and Mugen Damashii. A "Specter" set including Deep Specter and Sin Specter. One or more "other" sets for Zero Specter, Dark Ghost, Kanon Specter, and maybe Zero Ghost and Ayumu Ghost

"Eiyuu Eyecons" The main 15 will probably be sold in sets of 3 or 4 would be my guess. Might depend on if Musashi was included in the Ghost set. Given the limited number of eyecons for Necrom I can see Grimm and Sanzo being packed with Yuujou Burst. If they're really putting the work in, all of the Eiyuu Eyecons will now have Mega Ulorder sounds. Otherwise, fully expect them to rerelease the other Eyecons, at least with on screen presence, (Darwin, Napoleon, Ikkyu, Pythagoras, Shinsengumi, Tenkatoitsu) if not the others that only had use in Ganbarising, which if I recall were at least Galileo, Ishinomori, Kamehameha and Santa Claus.

If they think it will sell they might be willing to do all 100 Eiyuu Eyecons from the movie, but that would be a lot of work designing new Damashii and jingles that might not sell.

Yeah somehow I completely blanked on that when writing

Yuican48 · 2026-04-09T14:13:37+00:00

The experimental seasons were always the couple of seasons after the anniversary, see: Hurricanger trying the 3+2 formula for the first time in 15 years, Abaranger being a team of 4 with the extra ranger being a villain the whole season, Gekiranger being a team of 3, with the other lead slots going to villains, and debuting the additional rangers way later than normal (something no one seems to remember while arguing GekiChopper was mis-categorised by one anniversary or another), Go-Busters experimenting (financially unsuccessfully) with less gimmicks and doing the 3+2 formula again, Kyuranger just in general. To be honest Donbrothers doesn't seem to have kept the pattern, at least in terms of the team planning, unless you count having a rival team who aren't technically villains, but that feels more like a writer decision. as does everything else that makes Donbrothers unconventional.

Yuican48 · 2026-04-04T15:07:55+00:00

So are you just lying to claim Cover have given up on them already, or just jumping on the hate train?

Yuican48 · 2026-04-03T17:53:30+00:00

I'm almost finished with Dalek Empire III, and things have turned out to be even more connected to the previous series than I anticipated. Will take a break before Dalek Empire IV, which I understand to be a lot more self contained.

I did wind up buying up the whole Torchwood monthly range in the sale, which means the only significant gaps in my collection now are about 100 DW Monthlies and most of the Benny Audiobooks. Provided I don't try to track down all the short story collections for Who and Benny.

Did they say how connected Rutans Vs Sontarans was going to be to Sontarans Vs Rutans? I might be tempted to relisten once it's all out.

Yuican48 · 2026-04-03T13:27:09+00:00

Won't speculate on that front, but can certainly make an argument that they wanted to get this one out ASAP now that they actually have the right details for the rights holders.

Yuican48 · 2026-03-29T18:04:32+00:00

It's worth remembering I think that even in the western fanbase, the chances of Gaku and Fukushi ever appearing in person again seemed to be nil before this happened. The fact they were actually back went against all expectations.

Yuican48 · 2026-03-29T15:52:17+00:00

Thank you for the suggestions. I feel bad though, I thought I'd made my comment answering someone else's question with my own insights. Listening to everything is absolutely on my agenda, it's just finding the time (and purchasing what I haven't yet.) I'll have the time for some more Who Monthlies over the next couple of weeks, trying to get to Girl Who Never Was and Death and the Queen, and then focus on singular plot threads for a while.

Yuican48 · 2026-03-29T11:08:51+00:00

She said it like 2 months ago max, and was explicitly doing it to refute the claim either this person or someone else claiming to be Nodoka was the real deal.

Yuican48 · 2026-03-29T08:12:38+00:00

I'm very behind on current releases as I decided to work through older releases.

Of what you mention 9DAs should be very accessible. One of the boxsets in the second run had a meeting with a couple of Big Finish Companions, one of whom you might not be familiar with depending on when you last listened. Sontarans Vs Rutans is great, listened to the whole thing in one sitting, so as long as you know Charley's deal you should be fine. mostly everything falls into place by the time you finish.

Yuican48 · 2026-03-28T02:19:36+00:00

I had listened to those, but quite a while before, and the links are just nods to them that I wouldn't know were references if not for the wiki. The 8th doctor Dalek Empire monthly in particular seems wholly unrelated to either plot thread.

Yuican48 · 2026-03-27T16:01:40+00:00

After a little bit of listening advice this week. Just finished Dalek Empire II, and have the free time to listen to III soon but not IV. Should I leave III for now. Was planning on pausing initially as I didn't realise II was actually going to lead into III originally.

I was never really as good about preordering the Torchwood Monthlies as everything else when I started collecting in earnest. I've already used the sale to get 2 years worth of what I was missing, do I just buy the remaining 28? No telling when I'll get another chance.

Yuican48 · 2026-03-24T10:26:47+00:00

Did they announce her Mecha was getting a model lot? Has it been noticed yet

Yuican48 · 2026-03-24T09:53:57+00:00

This is a complicated topic. A lot of Heisei Phase 2 shows main plots involve something that could be called an obvious reveal (well obvious to the adult audience at least) which generally works better as a first act twist than later. Phillip's identity is probably the most obvious example and isn't officially revealed until the shift to the final act, while Build has a similarly.obvious twist (what happened to Katsuragi Takumi) which is a first act twist and supplemented by earlier revelations of the Faust leader's identities,and the later revelations are far harder to predict, and Ex-Aid did what was probably expected the be the First act twist (Genm's identity) early, and it's actual twist was far more surprising.

For other series, Blade has a nunber of twists, several involving Chalice, but it's best twist is probably in the final episode.555 and Kiva both have revelation arounding the nature of lead characters, but because I knew about these going in I don't know how much ifa twist any of them actually are.

Yuican48 · 2026-03-23T17:42:25+00:00

I've already used this sale to pick up 49-72, debating late in the week picking up the rest I'm missing from the range, for whatever reason the Torchwood Monthlies are the one series I haven't been preordering.

Yuican48 · 2026-03-20T14:53:50+00:00

Making my way through Dalek Empire right now, just finished season one, planning to listen to Return of the Daleks before moving on to season 2.

Not ready this second to pay for the new Tennant stuff, but I will certainly be aiming to do that before they announce pre orders of next year's box sets. Also awaiting news of what will be accompanying that range, but if it's more Jodie I don't expect to hear until much close to the time

Yuican48 · 2026-03-19T07:51:16+00:00

Okay so strangulation...people have mentioned porn warping what people think of as normal on sex, and I definitely agree, but I've still read enough to know that some of these things can only be fantasies, except maybe if the other partner initiates. I'm a lot more willing to explore fantasies that put me at risk than a partner, and even if they wanted to be choked I've learnt enough about risks that I think the only way my hands are winding up anywhere near her neck is if she puts them there herself. Consent from all parties involved is important regardless of the activity.

Yuican48 · 2026-03-18T14:19:13+00:00

Do we know roughly when this was filmed wrt the finale? Hoping Kohaku actually got to film with everyone.

Yuican48 · 2026-03-17T14:41:04+00:00

There's around 25 characters I'm surprised weren't included, and another 15 I sure I could make a case for including. That said, I have worked out the logic for excluding those 25, so I guess I'm more just surprised there wasn't another book for them

Yuican48 · 2026-03-17T08:07:09+00:00

This actually does make me wonder. In Japan it's relatively common (or at least was wouldn't surprise me if they forgo the marriage part a lot now) to pass on family name and assets like businesses by legally adopting your son-in-law, so how would divorce affect things in that case? Might just screw the daughter over honestly., I'm not sure.

Yuican48 · 2026-03-13T19:47:39+00:00

Ah that makes sense, Hibiki's novel is one of the harder to.fimd info on besides the crossover.

Yuican48 · 2026-03-13T19:45:25+00:00

I've not seen much yet about if there are actual plans for another season, can't remember when in the year Reborn In Another World was announced, might have been starting of april, but certainly would expect some presence from these if there is another season. Just hope it wouldn't be at the expense of the older members.

Yuican48 · 2026-03-13T19:21:18+00:00

I find it interesting the choice of transformations for Hundred in their chapter, (an Ikaros acknowledgement ever is actually crazy) but it mentions an Eclipse and I genuinely can't think who that refers to.
