Ronin Warriors Part 3 Episodes 11-15

The Ronin Warriors are back.  With the help of Mia and Yuli, Ryo, Sage, Cye, Kento and Rowen have been reunited.  Their armor has protected and rejuvenated the five warriors and now theyre stronger than ever before.  Talpa goes on the defensive, locking down his massive fortress and preparing his troops for battle.  This also means making sure his Warlords are ready to take on their rivals…and one of them, Anubis, is faltering in his resolve to serve the Dynasty.  There’s also the matter of the strange Monk who has been aiding the Warriors in small doses across many battles.  Who is he and does he know the true purpose of their magical armor?  The battle for the world heats up as new rivalries ignite and important secrets are revealed.

Well we got the band back together, now what?  It’s time to go straight into enemy territory and kick some ass that’s what.  The first full week of Ronin Warriors closed out with an adnreneline fueled race through a deserted city taking on Warlords, Soldiers galore and even the heroes own self doubts.  Oh and the Ancient One finally got involved but ended up creating just as many problems as he did solutions in the process.

Anime Corner-Summer 2020 Updates

Wow, I didn’t think it had been that long since I’ve done one of these updates (at least since the Blogs Anniversary in March).  So, felt it was a little overdue to give you guys an update: forthcoming titles, events and the return of familiar segments.  It’s been a rough year but I’m toughing through it as best I can and working plenty to keep the Anime Corner ready with articles galore at all scheduled times.  Anyway, now that we’ve somehow jumped right into July and the hotter than Hell weather, let’s see what we’ve got coming up in the next couple of months

T5W#256-Top 5 Otakon 2011 Cosplays

Previously:

In lieu of no Otakon (or any other con for the foreseeable 2020 future), I’m honoring the Anime Con I call home by looking back at my first years going to Otakon and highlighting 5 of the best cosplays from all those events…like many other lists I make, it’s not easy.  It’s a blast from the past looking at the Top 5 Otakon Cosplays, 2010-2015 to be more precise.  Last week we looked at my first Otakon, Otakon 2010 (catch up here if you missed it: http://gundamanimeblog.blogspot.com/2020/07/t5w255-top-5-otakon-2010-cosplays.html).  Today we continue with probably one of the best sequels of all time.  I thought Otakon 2010 left a good impression, I’d seen nothin yet, especially when it came to the cosplay.  So how about we get to this weeks Top 5 Wednesday, my Top 5 Otakon 2011 Cosplays.

Ronin Warriors Part 2 Episodes 6-10

The Ronin Warriors first battle with the Dark Warlords ended in defeat.  Talpa used his magic to scatter the warriors across Japan, seemingly locking them away for eternity.  But their new allies, Mia Koji and Yuli Yamano have unlocked the secret to tracking down the lost heroes.  They’ve already found Ryo and Sage and now must track down the other three Ronin Warriors.  The Dynasty isn’t sitting idly by and the Dark Warlords are all eager to test their powers against the returning heroes.  Even if Ryo can reunite with his new team of friends, will their combined power be enough when Talpa and the Dynasty have already defeated them once before?

Ronin Warriors continued pretty strong in its second out.  There’s good momentum in the quest to reunite the scattered team and almost every moment felt integral to moving the plot along, hardly any filler can be spotted so far.  Even when the show goes a little beyond its reach (grabbing a Ronin Warrior from low orbit), it managed to do so in a way that plays to the ever changing rules of the series.  In short, I’m still having fun checking this out 10 episodes in.

Ronin Warriors Part 1 Episodes 1-5

On a beautiful day in Japan, a dark shadow covers Tokyo.  In an instant, a dark cloud carrying a terrifying castle emerges in the sky and the Dynasty descends, enslaving most of the civilian population.  Regular military is powerless against these mystical demons hellbent on the destruction of Humanity.  All is not lost.  From the mist, five young warriors emerge to challenge Talpa, leader of the Dynasty, and his four  Dark Warlords.  They are Ryo, Rowen, Sage, Kento and Cye.  Each have their own style of battle and a magic suit of armor that give them unrivaled capabilities.  Alone they are fearsome fighters.  Together…they are the Ronin Warriors.

Welcome everyone to this years Extended Series Review.  It’s that usual time of year leading up to a special convention where I pick a title that’s a bit longer than my usual crop (13-26 episodes) and cover it at an accelerated rate (2-3 days a week depending besides the usual Monday).  And have I picked a special treat for everyone this summer.  I know I say this about a lot of the shows I cover but ive been trying to find the right time to slot this in for a looooong time, ever since I got the series on DVD during my last Baltimore Otakon…so 4 years, damn.  I may be reviewing it under its original title but its still the same awesome goodness we all remember from my favorite Toonami Golden Age (1999-2001).  In Japan, they were known as the Legendary Armor Samurai Troopers.  This summer, we’ll be taking a look at that saga under the name most know them by…Ronin Warriors
