(I almost went with Claremont for my analogy, but this would be '00s Claremont and the back third of Hibiki isn't full of thinly veiled BDSM fetishism. If you want Inoue writing his kinks into the story you want either Cutie Honey the Live or Shougeki Gouraigan) |

Asumu isn't just some kid sidekick, Hibiki is just as much about him, if not more so! |

Hibiki...
Oh, man, from that first episode overview I think I’m in for a wonderful time in this thread. Hibiki is absolutely a comfortable show. It’s a show that is at once perfectly Kamen Rider and yet absolutely not Kamen Rider and is so so special for it. I had never heard the tagline for the show was “Stable heroes in an unstable world”, but that’s pretty perfect. As you can probably tell the focus is very squarely on Asumu’s life and how he interacts with the Oni rather than the other way around and I’d have it no other way. A bit like Kuuga (and, fun fact; this show shares a few fun trivia pieces of similarities with Kuuga), this is very much a show that isn’t for everyone; and either you’re vibing with it or you’re not. I can hardly blame you if you feel it’s not for you later, but for now... I’m very happy to see you’re liking this very special season. |
Oh, by the way; I don’t want to say too much on the retool but I think 29-30 is a great point to watch the movie. That’s about the point it would have come out anyway, going between two very different things makes it a less disorienting watch , and I personally feel it’s a nice bookend to 1-29 even if not truly connected.

There's the big hero moment from Hibiki, when he dives off of a boat to save a child (are we sure Inoue didn't write this one?), but I like his second meeting with Asumu better. He knows that it is incredibly dangerous for Asumu and his cousin to be in these woods, but to tell them it's dangerous is to make it worse, so he just doesn't. He helps Asumu up and very quickly escorts them out of the forest. He's all smiles and funny answers and stories about the power of nature (Kamen Rider!), because he's not just protecting them from danger, he's protecting them from fear. I like this dude! I like his style! Quote:
Now if someone could tell me where the HBV should go, because the Wiki doesn't have a release date for it... |
