feeling
. Heroism as empathy, as compassion, that's what I'm looking for if a show's going to call itself Kamen Rider. I felt that
so quickly
here that I can't imagine this show having a different set of words in front of the word Hibiki.
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!
I've got it slotted for directly after 29! Pretty lucky how that release date ended up coinciding with the show's creative changeover.
Now if someone could tell me where the HBV should go, because the Wiki doesn't have a release date for it...
I’d put the HBV after episode 33, since it features the final form, which doesn’t debut until that episode.
Anyway, I’m one of those who isn’t really keen on the first half. The only real things that stand out from it are as follows:
1. The flashing kanji.
2. Whenever a new character appears.
3. Episode 24.
I’m one of those who would stick up for the second half, and can name at least two prominent members of the Toku community who would do likewise. And that’s all I’ll say on that matter until you get there.
