November 07, 2022 09:00 - 49 minutes - 39.6 MBContent warning: This episode contains a lot of discussion of adult themes, including quite impressive practical gore, drug use, racism, and basically Black Sun is a show for adults by adults. This one is not for the kids. This week: two hosts, two candidates, only one can be the Content Creation King. It's Kamen Rider: Black Sun. Maybe this becomes a full season of coverage later, but for now, just the opening episode.

Episode 165: Cast 068: Blade 03-04
May 30, 2022 10:30 - 56 minutes - 44.9 MBThis week involves a lot of time travel, and that's in a production sense, not a plot sense. Also, we're still in the initial "oh man this is new, this is neat!" phase so let's see how long that sticks with Blade.

January 24, 2022 08:30 - 43 minutes - 29.6 MBThis week, Sibyl and Garrett just chat for a while about some tokusatsu materials, some toku-adjacent materials, and then, because nobody left an adult in charge, it eventually turns into Hyperdimension Neptunia chat. Do we think that the HDN series counts as toku-adjacent enough to be a backup series? Find out! Show Notes No, Sisters vs Sisters (https://www.gematsu.com/2021/11/hyperdimension-neptunia-sisters-vs-sisters-announced-for-ps5-ps4) isn't anything cursed. It's the new Neptunia game....
Episode 156: Cast 063: Ryuki 45-46
January 19, 2022 07:30 - 1 hour - 48.7 MBThis week: your humble editor creates the stupidest gag we're ever going to pull for tokusatsu. Enjoy the episode art. Also I guess we find out the entire root cause of the Rider War and it's dumber than a slab of toast.

November 08, 2021 09:15 - 45 minutes - 31.4 MBThis week: the Quaz. Also a lot of discussion about how close we are to the end with still no idea why. Of note: this week, Shout Factory released the entire series (https://www.shoutfactorytv.com/series/kamen-rider-ryuki-series) on their TokuSHOUTsu streaming service. It's free to watch and linked above! If you want to see what the hell we've been discussing for a year now, this is the way.
Episode 151: Splinter 021: Wow, Ultraman!
November 01, 2021 07:45 - 5 minutes - 3.46 MBThis week, Sibyl discusses how everything's coming up in the Land of Light, and what Toei's fucking up in the west. Sorry this one's so short, there was a much longer idea here that I wanted to investigate further rather than crap out.

September 27, 2021 08:00 - 48 minutes - 33.5 MBHow is an episode with all the regular hosts the one where it derails into hentai discussion? Also Gatchaman Crowds is over and everyone has mixed feelings on the climax. Show Notes The new Fist of the North Star releases (https://www.rightstufanime.com/Fist-of-the-North-Star-Manga-Volume-1-Hardcover) are absolutely stellar. Apparently half of my manga by volume these days are big hardcover omnibi from Viz. Thanks, Viz. There is some incredible Gatchaman Crowds hentai (https://lol.not_linking...
Episode 148: Cast 057: Ryuki 37-38
September 13, 2021 07:45 - 52 minutes - 36.2 MBThis week, the Tournament of Power continues and the bodycount rises, but like... in a weird way. Also: show notes! Requested by a host, and not the editor being stupid! Show Notes I don't know anything about Adventure Time but the football episode (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5172664/) was easy enough to find. Literally the only acceptable way to revisit a certain series is Wizard People, Dear Reader (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wizard_People,_Dear_Reader) these days, especially since it ...

September 06, 2021 09:00 - 17 minutes - 11.9 MBThis week, Editor Sibyl reminisces on a variety of intentional and unintentional parodies and mocking tributes in tokusatsu. Not a comprehensive list!

Episode 146: Note 11: Gatchaman Crowds 11

Episode 145: Cast 056: Ryuki 35-36
August 10, 2021 07:30 - 54 minutes - 37.7 MBThis week, everything starts to come to a head. Except it doesn't because we have too many episodes left. But it FEELS like it's doing something now!
Episode 144: Scale 02: King Kong vs Godzilla
August 02, 2021 07:30 - 1 hour - 42.5 MBThe biggest smash of the Showa era (and possibly the biggest Godzilla film, period) is the subject of Scale #2, and Sibyl/Chris get just as contentious as before in covering this classic instead of the film you probably expected when you saw this title.
Episode 143: Note 10: Gatchaman Crowds 10
July 19, 2021 08:30 - 41 minutes - 33.4 MBThis week: everyone showed restraint, by which we mean the editor carved out about ten minutes of tangents to keep things on topic, then stopped herself from injecting even more in response. Also - teamwork!
Episode 142: Cast 055: Ryuki 33-34
July 05, 2021 09:15 - 55 minutes - 44.8 MBThis week, folks, even your humble editor doesn't know what's going on anymore, but it's sure a discussion.
Episode 141: Note 09: Gatchaman Crowds 09
June 28, 2021 08:30 - 47 minutes - 38.4 MBThis week: how the fuck did we get here in what was supposedly just a happy, breezy episode of anime discussion? This one gets dark, y'all. Show Notes You should be watching Kenny Lauderdale (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6dsQSn70Cem7zFsUANHqpQ).
Episode 140: Cast 054: Ryuki 31-32
June 15, 2021 08:30 - 40 minutes - 32.8 MBThis week's episode is brought to you by the number 3 and the letter "NO"
Episode 139: Note 08: Gatchaman Crowds 08
June 07, 2021 07:45 - 1 hour - 54.8 MBThis week: oh no we wanted Rui knocked down a peg but not like thiiiiiiiiiiis
Episode 138: Cast 053: Ryuki 29-30
June 01, 2021 08:00 - 58 minutes - 46.6 MBThis week: did you ever expect our hosts to dig up actual Japanese laws just to see how absurd a series for children was being? Because they did that.
Episode 137: Splinter 019: Girl Gun Game Gun Game Gold Gone Goldblum
May 24, 2021 08:30 - 44 minutes - 30.4 MBOn the very first Decacast After Dark, Garrett and Sibyl discuss Bandai's surreal new J-Drama "Girl Gun Lady" and how despite the show being hot trash, neither party can stop watching. If you're in the US, episodes are being subbed by Bandai themselves right here (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-s0ZHkx30HUdcsOqSgvOS3IG9IGAUEoD). Update: even under the Decacast After Dark banner we're probably not touching Ultimate Girls after Sibyl watched further, not as anything other than a one-sh...
Episode 136: Cast 052: Ryuki 27-28
May 10, 2021 08:00 - 52 minutes - 36.2 MBTwo hosts enter two episodes and only one of any relevance leaves... it's CLIP SHOW WEEK!

May 02, 2021 12:15 - 33 minutes - 26.6 MBThis week is incredibly lesbian because Fiona is back to talk about how one of her favorite anime, Symphogear, is insanely Rider-inspired. And also it might literally not know straight people or men exist. Special Guest: Fiona.
Episode 134: Note 07: Gatchaman Crowds 07

Episode 133: Cast 051: Ryuki 25-26
April 19, 2021 14:00 - 49 minutes - 39.3 MBAll your favorite hosts ask the question about all your favorite riders: will they get upgrades? Why is this death game so low-impact? IS THAT A KID?
Episode 132: Note 06: Gatchaman Crowds 06
April 12, 2021 08:00 - 43 minutes - 34.6 MBSadly, our two-host podcast cannot get to the bottom of if the new King Kong film is any good, but with the help of an editor, it CAN learn something about scissors.
Episode 131: Splinter 017: April Fews
April 05, 2021 08:00 - 26 minutes - 20.8 MBGarrett and Fletch chat about the absolutely insane amount of Rider and tokusatsu announcements that came out over the weekend. There are even more than the ones mentioned within, a few of them global. Links to follow.
Episode 130: Cast 050: Ryuki 23-24
March 30, 2021 08:15 - 54 minutes - 43.7 MBWe've finally made it to the big 50 (please ignore that we're almost at three times that) and we celebrate by going "so... is anything happening?"
Episode 129: Scale 01: Mothra vs Godzilla
March 15, 2021 07:15 - 54 minutes - 43.5 MBWhat was intended to be a shorter episode with hosts busy or ill turned into the birthing of an entire new sub-series because Fletcher and Chris a) own a lot of these films and b) love talking about them. Show Notes: Pink Lady and Jeff (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pink_Lady_(TV_series)) was a real production and you can't unlearn that. Read about this absolutely insane story. I sliced it out of the episode because it was too tangential even for this, but there was a whole discussion of VHS-...
