Saving my DVD players for Galaxy Man - Deka from Shout Factory. Late 2023 we might get Magi assuming they decide to drop Turbo Ranger (Series 13) on us over the summer. If we're back to 4 month drops again. We just got Aba in October and February is Deka. I wonder if we get 2 post Zyu and then a pre next in June or July.

Like Time Ranger Turbo Ranger will include the team up as it's episode 01. The series proper starts with Episode 02.

I'm sorry for your loss, but I hope you can at least find joy.

At any rate I've been reading up on what Netflix plans to do with Power Rangers - Rebuild from scratch from the ground up with no connection to Toei at all. No footage either. I had suspected that to be the case. Everything I read is saying that they want Power Rangers to be fully USA original and not dependant on anything or any one. Not sure what form this new Power Rangers Universe Relaunch will take just yet. All I know is Netflix wants to go all in.

A thundercats animated film would be interesting.

Pre Zyu (MMPR I) Shout Factory buy In

5 Man
January

Jet Man
February

Deka had come up or I would have grabbed Five Man this month. That pushed the Pre Zyu an extra month over. I can use January to finish up Aba before Shout Factory ships Deka.

Big question is, Hasbro will use scale models and megazord suits ?

8 months ago I posted this comment (holy, I made this comment 8 months ago). Well, after giving it some thought, I've decided to go for Crunchyroll next year and actually pay for my anime instead of pirating them.

A big factor for my decision is a sort-of ephiphany I had. Basically, I was hesitant to pay for anime streaming services because a lot of anime are spread out over multiple streaming services so I felt like I would be missing out on what I might want to watch so I might as well just pirate them. Today I had an ephiphany: why should I care about what I'm 'missing out' on?

Crunchryoll's gigantic and ever expanding library (especially now that Funimation has merged with Crunchryoll) means that I'll never be able to finish it anyways. Why should I care about the anime on Netflix? Or Hulu? Or whatever? Why should I pay for servcies just to get 4 or 5 shows I might want to watch when there are plenty of decent anime I haven't discovered yet on Crunchyroll?

So I've decided to pay for Crunchyroll and HiDive next year (because HiDive has a bunch of exclusive anime I actually want to watch rather than just a meager handful in other services). Choosing what platform to watch on restricts my viewing options, and while that sounds like a bad thing, I feel like it's a blessing in this era of entertainment oversaturation.

I feel like I'm ranting here but i just wanted to get this off my chest. And also to encourage people who might be reading this to take control of your entertainment options instead of the other way around. Remember, entertainment should ease your stresses, not add to them.
