Critically acclaimed director James Gunn (Guardians of the Galaxy, The Suicide Squad) recently sat down with Joseph Deckelmeier for a question and answer session on the recently released The Suicide Squad movie.  During the interview, James Gunn was gracious enough to answer a couple of questions regarding his love of the Kamen Rider franchise.

In the interview, James Gunn shares what his favorite Kamen Rider is, the inspirations he has taken from Kamen Rider, Ultraman, and Kaiju movies as a whole, and whether or not he feels Kamen Rider could be a success in America (spoiler: he says yes!).

Watch the full clip above!  Also check out The Suicide Squad in theaters now and streaming on HBO Max.  Share your love for Kamen Rider and James Gunn by using the hashtag #RiderSquad on social media!

The popular J-RPG tactical series Super Robot Wars has another released planned – Super Robot Wars 30 – celebrating its 30th anniversary.  Included in this 30th anniversary is none other than SSSS Gridman!

Here are the details of the game:

30 years on, the battle for our world’s future continues.

Super Robot Wars is a tactical RPG that brings characters and robots from a variety of mecha anime together to battle their mutual foes.

Players follow characters through adventure and battle. Take control of giant robots on a battle map, commanding them to defeat their enemies.

The battle switches between ally and enemy phases. Once the player has moved and attacked with their robots, the enemy takes their turn. When all enemies have been defeated, the game proceeds to an Intermission.

During Intermission, the player can use resources earned in battle to train pilots, upgrade robots, and earn bonuses for their army. They then can proceed to the next chapter of the adventure.

In Super Robot Wars, players can enjoy a unique experience that combines all-star mecha series crossovers, action-packed attack animations, and the chance to upgrade your favorite machines and pilots.
