I've heard rumors that Black RX was supposed to be an original series entirely, but Black was so popular they decided to just make it a sequel.
I'm not sure how true that is, but given what I've heard about Kotaro being almost an entirely different character between the two shows, I'd believe it. |

I started watching Fourze.
Tried to stick with watching things in order but after 5 minutes of Hibiki (which is next in line), I felt like I was watching a musical and turned it off. I'll come back to it. ...I really don't like musicals. Fourze is a lot of fun. After watching Amazon and Dairanger,..which are both sort of dark, bloody and depressing,..Fourze is a nice change of pace. That girl Yuki is so happy and enthusiastic it's really cute. The way she mimics Fourze's henshin with a giant grin on her face is too cute. (being in America where so many girls/women seem angry, moody, antagonistic and miserable lately, it's kind of wonderful to see a girl just grinning and being happy.) Definitely a fun show so far. I'd kind of put it off because the cone-head thing seemed so weird. But once I saw that he's supposed to be a Rocket I just figured, 'Sure, why not',..and went with it. It reminds me a little bit of Kuuga mixed with Build. Kuuga because he wants to be friends with everyone and there's a certain innocence to his character, and build because of the form changes and switching "switches/bottles" in and out of the belt all the time. Anyway, fun show so far. Much more simple and light hearted than I was expecting. But I'm actually in the mood for that after Amazon and Dairanger so it's pretty perfect at the moment.

Hibiki does that maybe twice. It's not a standard thing. The show does have a pretty unique visual style, though; it's part of what makes it so wonderful.

thanks. I can get through it if it's only a couple times.
I knew it was an instrument/music based series and I was worried each episode would have a musical number or something. Lol I love music but hate musicals. (except Little Shop of Horrors which I think is a lot of fun for some reason.) |

Just finished watching Ex-Aid True Ending. This is the first show ever that I was both satisfied and unsatisfied with how it ended. This really captured the essence of Ex-Aid and it culminated it excellently, no shortage of tears right when Life Is Beautiful hit during the credits. I just can't help but crave a sequel of the series. It's SO good. I really miss tuning into it, watching a new one each week.

really digging Fourze, it's a lot of fun so far.
I'm about 30 episodes in so I'm chewing threw it pretty quickly. In a way it reminds me a bit of 'W',..not sure why exactly. Fourze reminds me a little bit of Shotaro, and Yuki reminds me a bit of Akiko. ..Yuki reminds me a bit of Moa too (from Ultraman Geed),..just younger, obviously. But kind of happy and sweet, and maybe a tiny bit simple-minded in a sweet and innocent way. either way I'm surprised how much I'm enjoying the show. It's sort of simple and clean and has a central location, (the school), the cast and characters and all good and interesting for the most part. It's a good show. It's actually exactly what I was in the mood for. It feels like 'W' and Build kind of smooshed together a little bit. Though it's more lighthearted than either of those shows. |

I've had a massive hankering to watch Den-O, so I've put my Timeranger watch on hold as I download the entire series.

Black RX, Episode 8.
This one was really good IMO. Most of the other episodes so far, aside from the premise, are kinda average. They don't sum up to much. You get some gorgeous monster suits, cool action scenes and great effect work, but everything around that was a bit… boring. Until this episode, this one was actually very well done. It's about a girl who suddenly turned into a genius, and as it turns out that's because she's half-Crisis, her dad was a renegade Crisis alien who came to Earth and married a human woman. See, what makes this episode good is that the monster and the action take a backseat to the characters. The MOTW is defeated early, and the rest of the episode is completely devoted to RX trying to help the girl overcome her fear of her own heritage. Not gonna lie, I kinda wished Kotaro would’ve identified with her on a more personal level as his own stance to humanity was questioned quite a bit throughout Black and it played a big part during the start of Black RX so I hoped he would say something along the lines "Look at me, I'm not "human" either. But that doesn't matter.". The path they go on instead isn't worse in any way, it's just as powerful, and the scene itself is beautiful. I was a bit shocked how much I enjoyed this episode to be honest. I hope I get to see more stuff like this further into the show. |

a lot of the best episodes are character driven instead of MotW driven.
(for all the series, Ultraman, Kamen Rider, Sentai, etc. ) |

Making my way through Ghost.
Looking at it as a "slice of life" show makes the viewing feel a lot better to me. It's a new adventure every day with some drama here and there. Loving it. |
