November 21, 2025 Sunday Henshin Time S1E12 – Clutch It For The Boys
What a mixed bag of episodes. Pretty Cure is stumbling and stumbling hard towards it's strange mid-series ending, the shifting of roles in DekaRanger, and... ok we gotta talk about the motorcycle thing. Kamen Rider Blade is a roller coaster of contrasts. We really got taken for a ride this week.

November 15, 2025 Sunday Henshin Time S1E11 – Snack on Concrete
Ah, the dog days of Pretty Cure are upon us. Or maybe just "day" singular, unless we get ANOTHER episode at some point where there are dogs voiced in Japanese, which feels unlikely. Wait, wait, wasn't last year's PreCure about like your pet becoming a Cure alongside you? Dang. Well, someday we'll get there I think. Meanwhile, Dekaranger gestures at an INCREDIBLE episode and then falls short, merely delivering a fantastic one. And I don't know WHAT Kamen Rider Blade is doing, but that's becoming a routine, isn't it....

November 07, 2025 Sunday Henshin Time S1E10 – Party Boy John Lennon
EPISODES COVERED: 19-20 of Futari Wa Pretty Cure, Tokosou Sentai Dekaranger, and Kamen Rider Blade
You ever go running? It's good for your body but I understand why most people don't find it great. Most people just sorta wanna zone out on a treadmill and watch a show or whatever, and that's valid! I just like my little runs outside. Ban isn't hot on the prospect though because he has to disarm PLANET DESTROYING BOMBS all over town! In boots!
I'd be sick of running too.
There is a lot to like this week as we say goodbye to a really stellar villain and met some new ones! And maybe Tomakazu Seki shows up in strange places. Weird but fun set of episodes this week.

October 24, 2025 Sunday Henshin Time S1E9 – Deka Dumpling
ACAB includes... retail managers? That's the theory in this week's Kamen Rider Blade episodes, where it supposes that a job at a supermarket entails chasing and tackling perps. Tokuso Sentai Dekaranger takes an uncomfortable angle on Chinese culture, then pivots into Japanese patriotism that may or not be innocent, but it's hard to shake the 2025 connotations of such things. Futari wa Pretty Cure? Poisony shows off a power so staggering that it's hard to imagine how she didn't wrap this thing up weeks ago. We're not CinemaSins-ing, it's just kinda amazing to see. As is the animation, hot damn.

October 20, 2025 Sunday Henshin Time S1E8 – Throw Him Decently Far
Boy, this episode really surprised us. Pretty Cure managed to stumble and DekaRanger has some stuff, but Blade really took us somewhere we didn't expect. These episodes gave us plenty to talk about, so long as our heroes can keep it together.
Are we heroic podcasters? Doubtful. But we had fun with this one.

October 12, 2025 Sunday Henshin Time S1E7 – Fridge Logic
We've reached a landmark, folks. Sure, Pretty Cure has some great villain schemes, and the delight of an evil boy trying to thirst trap a lesbian and failing spectacularly. And Kamen Rider has... evil seaweed, and fridging women. But let's talk about what's truly important.
DekaMaster. Is. Here.

September 28, 2025 Sunday Henshin Time S1E6 – Henshin Replacement Therapy
Look, they all can't be winners. Pretty Cure was good! Nothing stellar but a solid bunch of episodes! Dekaranger started strong too! But BOY the back half of our viewing was rough. Kyrie and Six question some things in this episode. We will not waver but we are a little lost. Hope next week goes better.

September 20, 2025 Sunday Henshin Time S1E5 – I’m Starting to See the Appeal
EPISODES COVERED: Futari wa PreCure 9-10, Tokosou Sentai Dekaranger 9-10, Kamen Rider Blade 9-10
I wonder if referring to "World of Warcraft sexual dimorphism" even hits anymore. It's the thing in fantasy where like... a male orc is this massive guy with tusks and a craggy face and such, and then female orcs are human-sized hourglass-figured folks that basically look like "what if a sexy lady had green skin." It's that kinda thing.
Anyway, this week on Sunday Henshin Time, Mepple gets held hostage by the vice principal, Honoka gets held hostage by jewelry thieves, the jewelry thieves get held hostage by Gekidrago, and Gekidrago is held hostage by a job that doesn't value him. Banban falls in love with a stakeout target, and Kamen Rider Garren becomes scotch whiskey. You'll never guess which one wins the week!

September 13, 2025 Sunday Henshin Time S1E4 – Lesbian Chaff Grenade
EPISODES COVERED: Futari wa PreCure 7-8, Tokosou Sentai Dekaranger 7-8, Kamen Rider Blade 7-8
As we continue our transforming hero journey, it's not just the costumes that are being changed. Sometimes over the course of a long enough time, you heart changes too. Maybe there are budding feelings you can't put to words, and that slow change causes so much heartache. But you come out the other side a better, changed person.
And sometimes Wesker is there? Oh and psychic power discrimination. These episodes were an odd bunch.

September 05, 2025 Sunday Henshin Time S1E3 – Rest In Pissard
EPISODES COVERED: Futari wa PreCure 5-6, Tokosou Sentai Dekaranger 5-6, Kamen Rider Blade 5-6
Pretty Cure has a new villain for us. Dekaranger has things to say about capitalism's hunger for oil. Blade has decided to just acknowledge what's going on, and not insult our intelligence. All-in-all, a solid week here on Sunday Henshin Time, where three lineups of transforming heroes face the problems of the week, and rise above. Mostly. Garren does get his butt kicked pretty often.
