Unfortunately, there will be no livestreams over the next week. In good news, Media Blasters has licensed some #Garo movies. Also, #tokushoutsu has updated how #KamenRiderZeztz is being streamed. All this and more, sort of. #Toku @shoutstudios.bsky.social

A Just Deserts Unboxing!! Is This Paddington Beat's Cousin???

Toku And Animation News Network @tokuaannetwork.bsky.social · 9d

I've got another wonderful #unboxing to do courtesy of @allianceent. This one feels like a desert after receiving Mission Impossible and Smurfs. I do wonder if it's related to Paddington Bear. :-)

Ninja Sentai Kakuranger (1994) Re-Review - Ninjas vs Ghosts? How Can You Go Wrong?!

Toku And Animation News Network @tokuaannetwork.bsky.social · 15d

The 4K version came out in the UK a few years ago, which is what this review was taken from. LGF owns the movie in the US and they have not done anything with it in nearly 20 years. They are hoarding the license just so they can pump out US original movies.

Toku And Animation News Network @tokuaannetwork.bsky.social · 16d

#Halloween Month begins with a brand new review of #NinjaSentaiKakuranger that @shoutstudios.bsky.social had released on DVD nearly a decade ago. Is #Kakuranger as glorious as I found it back then? Watch to find out!! #toku #powerrangers #SuperSentai

This May Be The UGLIEST Cover Ever! Unboxing Relay...

Toku And Animation News Network @tokuaannetwork.bsky.social · 20d

A new box from Alliance Entertainment has arrived and the movie within may have the most abhorrent cover art I have ever seen thus far. It looks extremely artificial. See my rant and more in this newest #unboxing video.
