In this episode of Comm Talk, Dallas and Celeste kick off 2026 by revisiting the legendary 80s anime Ronin Warriors (known in Japan as Samurai Troopers). The duo discusses the show's history, analyzes the animation style from the late 80s versus modern standards, and gives their honest review of the brand-new 2026 sequel series. Basic topics covered: Ronin Warriors vs. Samurai Troopers: A look at the history of the show, the differences between the Japanese and American versions, and the mysterious "Hajime Yatate" collective that created it The "Cinderella Effect" in Animation: Celeste explains how upscaling old animation to high definition can actually cause a loss of fine detail—like the "paint bucket" shoe error—and the need for grace when viewing older media on modern tech. 2026 Sequel Review: A breakdown of the new series' plot, the shift in art style to "pretty boys," and the major plot twist regarding the main character's heritage. The Missing Character: Celeste shares her strong feelings about the absence of the white tiger, White Blaze, in the new series and why he was the heart of the original show.
