The Kamen RIder Zi-O news and driver sound bites continue to roll in, and you bet your ass we spend our time on it, along with every other bit of news that dropped this week. Build 46 sure knows how to play with the emotions. There are fake dead buddies, SO many men that should kiss, and ominous foreshadowing for ou...

Zi-O has been "officially" announced, so we know the general plot, the names of some of the production staff, and we've got oodles of new magazine scans!

And it's even EASIER with Part 1 of...

February starts with a bang as Dan & Faiz tackle a massive amount of News and Spoilers.
