Journey Through The Decacast

This week, football! No, not in the show, just a lot of discussion about it. Both types. Don't worry, international listeners, we've got fanservice for you too. No fanservice for editors, though, so if you catch a few rough spots, it's because of audio issues on the raw tracks.

This week, the body count continues with the loss of one host and the metamorphosis of another. Blade continues to chew through our cast at a remarkably slow pace. How many hosts will survive until the next Decade episode? Time to begin the countdown clock...

This week, the endless cicada chirping ends with a new episode! I have no idea when the next one will arrive, there's nothing else in the can. Sorry.

This week, two men, one belt, a lot of questions about who's brainwashed and who's just written badly? All this and more on Kamen Rider Blade!

This week, two men, one drug, and the milk that's tearing them apart.

This week, the lads wonder how Mega Man X logic applies to a deck (deca?) of cards, exposit on the dangers of weed, and nearly come to blows. Again.

This week, one man down and one month in, 2023 kicks off with a return to Blade, and the debut of new character "Nurse Girlfriend".

This week: everyone saw Shin Ultraman but the editor! And maybe Evan. Spoilers within.

This week, despite it continuing to be 2022, we take a time warp back to the 2000s... not because Blade was a show from 2004, no. You'll find out. Show Notes If you weren't online in 2001, here is an explanation of what they're discussing. If that made no sense, have further context.

Content 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.

This week, two hosts and an editor take a side road into ANIMETOWN, with the Kamen Rider W sequel anime, Fuuto PI, which is just ending this week on Funimation Crunchyroll. Everyone can't help but ask: is it gay enough?

This week, two of our hosts take a journey into modern times and discuss Kamen Rider Geats (or some of it, so far...), and then your faithful editor has to bleep out A LOT of spoilers for a lot of unrelated series.

This week we go to some dark places with Spider-Man, but the healing power of cops brings our boys back home with a renewed vow to improve themselves. Would Spider-Man shoot a child? Opinions are mixed.

This week, we have questions about how this suit thing is gonna work out long term, but also, did you know that it's 2022?

This week, Chris and Garrett take a trip into the past and decide that perhaps we could ask Mothra for help with podcasting. Plus: what set editor Sibyl off enough to get her to interject? Find out together as we discuss Ghidorah, the Three-Headed Monster!

This week, you really can do better. Please don't put yourself through this. He will keep leaving you on the side of the road to walk back to town.

This 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.

This week, the Spring of Morbius kicks into high gear as a certain vampire debuts in comics and also Spider-Man is here.

This week, a new series! Learn French! Find out who released the bees! Ask yourself "Wait, are we getting into this right out the gate? Somehow?"

This week we ain't got time for that so we're in and out in a new record pace. Maybe we need to double-up on these.

This week, we return to DECADE RUINS EVERYTHING, a show where two episodes are spent on a plot that he undoes in ten minutes with time powers, but we still have fun.

This week, we meet the Emissary from Hell, Spider-Man, and embark on a journey into one of the most foundational works of tokusatsu. Also: tangents!

This week: we're free, Genie! By which I mean this whole thing becomes some magical shenanigans at the finish line and various hosts have various feelings about it.

This week, nobody trusts anyone anymore, and we're all very tired (of this show). Also: anime discussion!

This 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 isn't anything cursed. It's the new Neptunia game. If you're interested in Sibyl and two other jokers discussing anime, the podcast covering Naoki Urasawa's Monster can be found behind this link. Seriously, Stonebot Comics feels like a temporary website on someone's computer in a made for TV movie, but somehow they have multiple Kamen Rider licenses in the west? What the hell?

This 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.

This week, our intrepid hosts look back into the past and ask ourselves: did billionaires get more corrupt over time? And also: how horny was 2002? Let's find out together.

This week, get ready to get busy! Every Rider is working 3 jobs now and plot arcs are finally starting to collide. Plus: a family annihilator out of nowhere!

This week, neither host knows that this film actually came to the US TWICE, once in how they mention on the episode, and once as part of the pilot of Saban's Masked Rider.

This 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 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.

This 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.

This week: violence and psychic babies and THIS IS CANON AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA This is episode 150, what a wild ride! Thanks for coming along, everyone.

How 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 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 out there, as the boys get into. My recommendation is the Rui dommed by "Mistress" X set. Avoid the Spanish crossover one with a chapter of Goku gangbanging angels. So sayeth Sibyl.

This 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 was easy enough to find. Literally the only acceptable way to revisit a certain series is Wizard People, Dear Reader these days, especially since it basically requires piracy.

This week, Editor Sibyl reminisces on a variety of intentional and unintentional parodies and mocking tributes in tokusatsu. Not a comprehensive list! Show Notes The playlist of 4kids Ultraman Tiga Since it's mentioned in passing: hey remember that time ADV declared bankruptcy, created a shell company named for the Texas law it was about to abuse, and then sold the rights to their stuff to that organization?

A brief foray into the pentultimate episode with twin hosts. The darkness before the dawn? Who knows, I can't say since two hosts don't know how this goes down yet.

This 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!

The 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.

This 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!

This week, folks, even your humble editor doesn't know what's going on anymore, but it's sure a discussion.

This 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.

This week's episode is brought to you by the number 3 and the letter "NO"

This week: oh no we wanted Rui knocked down a peg but not like thiiiiiiiiiiis

This 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.

On 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. 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-shot.

Two hosts enter two episodes and only one of any relevance leaves... it's CLIP SHOW WEEK!

This 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.

The monkey's paw curls: Garrett gets his Gatchaman combat sequence that he's been craving for months, in a way he never saw coming.

All 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?

Sadly, 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.
