Is there a way that we can send our support to Maya Imamori during this situation?

Her socials are private and/or the comments are turned off, so I'm not quite sure, but I've seen people tweeting well wishes and support to her with the hashtag #supportmayaimamori on Twitter. I am unsure of any other efforts, if anyone has further information on how to support her, let me know.

it's times like this I am really grateful for blogs like yours that archive stuff for the shows...maya's insta is already cleared and i bet a lot of other photos and posts of her will be taken down but thankfully some live here

I've tried to archive as many photos as I could from social media, but my tagging systems still need work. Most things for her would be under Sumino's tag or in the full team tags (5 and 6) as they're mostly behind the scenes or Gozyuger adjacent and there's a lot to go through for everybody on the cast.

Hi! :3 Long time fan / follower here, and I have a question: Have you ever watched High&Low? I'm asking because Racules' actor is in one of the seasons and one movie (he's blond and full of angst). (There are also so many other toku actors in the show and movies.)

I haven't watched any High&Low yet! I've been meaning to for years but I'm always preoccupied by something. It is something that I feel would suit my tastes, but I just need to be in the right headspace and have the time for it. I don't know when that will be but someday, hopefully.

Both of those tweets are mine actually lol. I'm glad I'm not the only one who can see sense

Was literally so glad to see someone with sense after seeing so many people complaining while browsing. You worded things in a way that really did match with what I've been thinking in just the right way. I'm fine with people having critiques, but when it's just blatantly ignoring things that's when it's too much. I don't know if it's bc it's an anniversary series or what but the amount of complaints seem to be high even though it's not that different from any other Sentai, like you'd think they'd never seen a Sentai before...

What the- Racules?! He will appear on ep 10

I know! I have notifications on for Masato's Instagram and saw him post about it. It's actually episode 9 & 10, but they're giving me more reasons to watch it. He's still as pretty as ever :)

Hey, tell me about your interest in fashion. For me it's just silly little projects that I don't get, but I respect it and I want to know the perspective of a person who is interested. I'm genuine. And what should a regular person get from those. How to analyse it for everyday fashion? Or is it a form of art that should be treated as one, and has nothing to do in regular everyday fashion? I have a friend who studied fashion design but I never get to ask him/never thought about it. 😌☺️

Honestly, I don't know a lot about fashion in a technical sense myself. Fashion can be a broad spectrum, as it does refer to popular trends, but I'll talk about clothing here.

In reality, I just like to look at the clothes and think about them, but when I was younger and even now I watched a lot of videos and shows about designing clothes and their construction. I find it to be quite fascinating, and I enjoy seeing the process and the completed pieces. I consider it to be a form of artistic expression, although most clothing I've ever made was for dolls. There's a lot that goes into the craft, and I've seen some people that take months to meticulously complete a piece and I've seen others just wake up and decide to make a dress that day.

When I look at clothes it's more about what I think looks interesting or fits into my aesthetic preferences, though I do find that I see some clothing from time to time and immediately associate it with a character, like many people on here.

(A bit off topic, but the character I tag most under fashion posts is Amu from Zyuohger. This is because she canonically does modelling work and I think she'd dress very fashionably. Everything I tag for her has a specific reason I feel it would fit her. )

Anyways I feel like fashion, just like any other art form, can be analyzed in a variety of different ways. Construction, color stories, patterns, textures, pricing, label, accessories, makeup, hair, etc. can all come together to create a piece, not so different from say a drawing. I like to ask myself why I think certain decisions were made and for what purpose. How could different decisions change the affect of the piece? If we're talking about designers and labels, how do we know on sight that it's their design? For example, Vivienne Westwood and Moschino can't be mistaken for each other as they have their own signatures.

There's a lot more questions to be asked, especially if you get into areas of costuming where many pieces are meant to convey something about a character. An example would be of the mantle that Gira wears in King-Ohger. In King-Ohger the mantle is symbolic of the King of Shugoddam, and when Gira rips it off of Racules and dons it himself, it is symbolic of Gira's intentions to take Racules' title and throne just as he declares. Post-time skip, when Gira decides to hand the throne to Douga he removes the mantle and hands it over to Douga, showing us that Gira does consider it to be a symbol of his title at this time. I could really go on to speak more on each character's costuming and elaborate more on Gira but I've already rambled a lot.
