Dan’s (Toku) Rants Episode 215: “The Promised and The Powerful”

Dan — Fri, 24 May 2013 14:33:49 +0000

On this edition of Dan’s (Toku) Rants, Shamus, Gemma, Tober, Dante, and I discuss the Super Megaforce Cameo controversy. Who is confirmed and who isn’t? Well, you’ll just have to listen, and if you don’t want to listen to our sultry, dulcet voices, then you’ll just have to check out RangerCrew’s cameos list and their pictures of Super Megaforce Party Plane and Cameo Squad! It’s all pretty spiffy! Afterwards, we discuss the next three episodes of Akibaranger, where Aoi tropes, “Powerful” Ranger tropes, and “attractive” robot girl tropes are all touched upon. But not touched in a sexual way. That would be weird. Although, Nobuo might prefer if he were to touch them in a sexual way, but that takes this sentence and sentiment in a completely different direction.

Dan — Sun, 12 May 2013 13:10:13 +0000

On this edition of Dan’s (Toku) Rants, Nick, Shamus, Jason, Alek, and I discuss the continuing mishaps that plague Saban Brands, regarding the cameos for Power Rangers Super Megaforce. The SPD cast wants to do their own reunion on YouTube. The Ninja Storm rangers of Pua (Shane), Sally (Tori), and Jason (Cam) were not even sent the email. A ton of others were also forgotten, and we lament about how we don’t even care anymore. It’s pretty sad. Check out Part One of our discussion, and keep up to date with the RangerCrew Cameo List for all of the latest updates!

Steve Cardenas, Karan Ashley, Rhett Fisher, Matt Austin, and so much more get brought up, and we only have one entity to blame: Saban Brands. And to think, this is only Part 1. Make sure to stay updated with Rangercrew’s Cameo List, and stay tuned for Part 2 soon!

Dan’s (Toku) Rants Episode 212: “Danservice”

Dan — Fri, 03 May 2013 22:02:40 +0000

On this episode of Dan’s (Toku) Rants, Nick, Anthony, Tober, Dante, Sterling Archer and I discuss some Super Megaforce news before we Tenshin DAAA into the last two episodes of Akibaranger where we break me down before building me back up. You want tears? You got it. You want screaming? You got it. There’s so much to cover that this podcast seems like its own delusion. It’s kinda crazy. But if you are a DTR fan, you are going to love every second of this one…

Dan’s (Toku) Rants Episode 211: “Return of the Rocket Man”

Dan — Fri, 26 Apr 2013 15:26:53 +0000

On this edition of Dan’s (Toku) Rants, Dante, Tober, and I discuss “Kamen Rider Fourze: Space, Here We Come!”! It’s a fun movie that is incredibly indicative of what Fourze is as a series. So many explosions. Just everywhere. Also, Inga Brink is awesome and a much better character than Nadeshiko. Also, we dive into the Blake Foster/Roger Velasco speculation in Super Megaforce.

Dan’s (Toku) Rants Episode 210: “Dairanger Exists!”

Dan — Thu, 18 Apr 2013 17:47:11 +0000

On this edition of Dan’s (Toku) Rants, Anthony, Tober, and I discuss some Megaforce and Kyoryuger news, before we dive into our main topic: episode one of Season two of Hikounin Sentai Akibaranger. I got pretty livid about what they did at the end of the story. Lot of nerdery going on here though, and Tober aka Spot runs with it. Also, this is a picture of Doctor Professor Hakase saying the word ‘Pentagon’.

Dan’s (Toku) Rants Episode 209: “Dawson’s Creek Trapper Keeper 9000″

Dan — Mon, 15 Apr 2013 05:03:02 +0000

On this edition of Dan’s (Toku) Rants, Nick, Shamus, Anthony, Jason, Tober, Dante, and I discuss “Robo Knight” and “Prince Takes Knight”. Robo Knight debuts and is a jerk to everyone. It’s kinda great. We get more of the command center, more Mr. Burley, and an unmorphed fight! Also some figuarts news and discussions about April Fools, Kyoryuger, and South Park? Yeah, it happened.

Dan’s (Toku) Rants Episode 208: “Cardy Hardy”

Dan — Sun, 07 Apr 2013 13:30:32 +0000

On this edition of Dan’s (Toku) Rants, Gemma, Dante, and I discuss all of the latest news regarding the use of the Gokaiger suits, pictures of the production of Super Megaforce, and series two of the Guardians of Justice Power Rangers Action Card Game. We want our Kelly, Toby and Spencer cards. (Just kidding, we just want Titanium and the Spirit Rangers)

Dan’s (Toku) Rants Episode 207: “Et Tu Lexington”

Dan — Sat, 06 Apr 2013 17:31:21 +0000

On this edition of Dan’s (Toku) Rants, Gemma, Jason, and special guest star, Alison join Shamus and I in discussing the weekend of Lexington Comic and Toy Convention 2013. The cosplay, the guests, working with Jason Narvy and Paul Schrier, the con as a whole, and the couch of doom. Anthony and Dante join us later to discuss “Who’s Crying Now?”, as we get an episode that ultimately matter in the overarching plot, with character moments with Troy. We also discuss how every red ranger would react to bullying. It’s pretty entertaining.

Dan’s (Toku) Rants Episode 206: “The Sakura Song”

Dan — Fri, 05 Apr 2013 14:13:05 +0000

On this edition of Dan’s (Toku) Rants, Anthony, Tober, and I discuss “Harmony and Dizchord”. We get some organic character moments with Troy and Emma, plus some pretty sweet tunes. The pacing still hurts though.
