We've finally cleared Akiba April, so this week we're getting into backstories of all sorts. First, Hanto is the last to learn Rakia's backstory. Kinjiro and Sumino learn the backstory of the Reiwa Era: the Showa Era. Then, we learn the backstory of the human who got turned into Lachesis from Gotchard, and it's a bloody good time.

Our friend from the Discord, Jackson, joins us this week as we discuss Hanto and Rakia's amazingly comical stuck-together episode, Hoeru and Candle having a moment before the debut of the Decalibur and DekaClaw Tegasword, and we wrap up Akiba April as things start to get meta as the season approaches its ending.

The one and only Tom Constantine, actor, stunt actor, action director, and beloved "white guy in a Japanese thing" joins us for a two-part Q&A session. In part 2, we talk more about Tom himself, the work he's done, some of his favorite tokusatsu entries, and what else he gets up to aside from tokusatsu. Again, tangents abound.

The one and only Tom Constantine, actor, stunt actor, action director, and beloved "white guy in a Japanese thing" joins us for a two-part Q&A session. In part 1, we field a few questions from the Castranger community aimed more towards the filming and technical sides of tokusatsu production. Of course, we go down a few random tangents along the way, as Castranger often ourselves do.

The Three Little Casters bring you this week's reactions to Gavv as the Zeludacs begin their takeovers. In Gozyuger, Garyudo's formal debut is as questionable as Hoeru's acting. In week 3 of Akiba April, the Akibarangers break into reality, but not without consequences.

This week of Castranger, which falls on the 50th Anniversary of Super Sentai and the anniversary of Hikonin Sentai Akibaranger, which we totally timed on purpose, begins with us enjoying Shouma and Hanto's blooming bromance with the debut of Valen Frappe Custom, the graceful bowout of Tokonatsu aka Don Momotaro in Gozyuger, and beginning Akiba April, we discuss how our two nerds and one karate girl delude themselves into being the ...

Doctor Sugar reveals most? of his evil plan in this week's Gavv as he debuts Kamen Rider Bake. GozyuUnicorn debuts amidst a sea of confusing motivations and Kinjiro still being hilarious and awesome. Finally we get back to Symphogear, the series of armored magical girls who sing while fighting, as Chris-chan debuts Ichii-Bal... er, I mean Ichaival.

No episodes of Gavv or Gozyuger aired this past week so instead we discussed the Gavv Graduations special, aka ten minutes of non-canon high school visual novel gags. We then fill the gap with two more episodes of Black Sun, the politics and racism show featuring Whale-Man and Crab-Dad.

This week we cap off February with Precurary, aka our look at the first two episodes of the new Pretty Cure, You & Idol Precure. But first, we have Gavv debut Chocold and Blizzard Sorbet forms, and Sachika completes her triad of adopted sons. Next in Gozyuger we have the debut of not only Rikuo as GozyuLeon, but the fandom's new and immediate favorite character, Ryugi Bakugami aka GozyuTyranno.

It's a brand new sentai and things are immediately off the rails! All other megazords dead, Master Hand recruiting Reds, our new protag is a Hot Topic lone wolf, and the villains think they're the good guys?

We took a week off because Ichi was in the hospital, but he dragged his way home so we wouldn't miss another week. Lane's injured his knee, Gar ate a bad tangerine, but on the plus side, Emily's back! We talk about a very plot-heavy batch of episodes for both shows. In Gavv, Vram's full backstory is revealed and he begins his change to the side of good, but Hanto's angry. In Boonboomger, things are dire as Taiya tries to revive Boo...

It's time for emotional whiplash as we go from happy to sad with this week's double-serving of the Boonboomger movie and this week's episode. But first we discuss Vram issuing his debut beatdown to Gavv and Valen.
