TNDG Night 4 - tokusatsu marathon

[ Gather round in Peewee's Playhouse, weebs and weebettes! It's time for The Steel Samurai: Warrior of Neo Olde Tokyo! ]

[ Simon settles in with popcorn chicken and Taka sitting in his lap for maximum petting and scritches. He would appreciate it if you please try to maintain some suspension of disbelief for how deadly and dangerous he and his cute pet are. ]

[Settles in right next to Simon, stretching an arm out across the back of the couch behind him.]

[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?

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

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

[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!

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?]

I'm more of a Jammin' Ninja fan, but the Steel Samurai's cool, too.

[She grabs a burger.]

Ah, yes, I've caught a bit of that. I recall there being a great deal of singing.

[don't let this asshole lie to you, Kay, he watched the whole thing like twice]

[sprawled beside him on the couch, armed with a supersized McCafe with a generous pour of Irish whiskey]

You aren't going to mouth along with the whole script again, are you?

No way. Mr. Blackquill does that?

[TELL HER WEEABOO STORIES, MISS BLACKQUILL.]

[That's honestly good enough for her since the Jammin' Ninja doesn't get as much publicity as the Steel Samurai anyway.]

Yup! And a great deal of guitar-playing. It could've used more wall-climbing, though...
