[Doesn't notice or is perhaps just ignoring that arm in favor of petting his pretty birdy]

Is it your first time watching, Fool Bright?

[thefaceofjustice]

I don't think I've watched any of this. Is it good?

[weeabird]

Ah, you're in for a treat. This show pioneered American-made tokusatsu shows.

[thefaceofjustice]

[Picks up the blu-ray case to examine it.]

I don't know what that is, but... I really like the masks they're wearing. Interesting costume design!

[weeabird]

They're inspired by traditional kabuki theater. Much of the choreography for the Steel Samurai's moves come from similar roots—but I shall point them out as they occur.

[Aren't you glad you aren't capable of feeling irritation right now?]

[thefaceofjustice]

You know a lot about that. ...Were you a theater performer before becoming a prosecutor?

[weeabird]

I have interests outside of the courtroom, you know.

[thefaceofjustice]

I can see that. I didn't know you liked kids' shows!

[weeabird]

It's not a—The Steel Samurai is enjoyable for audiences of all ages!

[thefaceofjustice]

Even me? I'm 33.

[Takes a piece of the popcorn chicken and starts peeling the breading off for Taka.]

[weeabird]

All ages means all ages! Now pay attention!

[thefaceofjustice]

Yes sir, Prosecutor Blackquill!

[Settles back for a quiet(???) viewing.]
