Episode 28 of Hibiki.
Really liked this episode. We got to see a bit more on how the puppets, as well as the douji and hime all work and the series finally seems to be moving to look into the bigger picture rather than just being a monster of the week sorta run. Was nice seeing another oni as well, Eiki has a pretty cool design. And the relationship building between Asumu and Hibiki, plus the girls back at Tachibana's.

Watched Kamen Rider ZO and immensely enjoyed it. The story was pretty good, the action was really good too. He also is pretty brutal; punching through people and breaking the spider woman's leg off and impaling here with it was awesome. The animation was interesting for the time. I really love the suit and how much he was a hero protecting the kid. Great movie honestly and can't wait for J.

Just wrapped up episode 29 as well. This pair of episodes are amongst my favorite this season so far. A lot seemed to happen, from a better look into how the puppet, douji and hime, and makamou stuff works to some really good moments between Hibiki and Asumu, great send off to the first half of the season. If I remember right, the next episode is where the production changes occurred, so we'll see how big of a difference that makes.
Edit: Watching episode 30 now, the first episode after the change in production. First thing I notice, where the hell is my intro by Asumu? The hell. Secondly, Kiriya is a dick. Third, that sushi looked delicious. Fourth, even though I noticed this before we were introduced to Kiriya (whatever, my thoughts can be out of order), nice seeing even more into the goings on of the mystery couple behind the makamou. While part of me did like things being kinda shrouded in mystery, I do enjoy seeing that mystery slowly revealed to us too. Fifth, that guy getting burned to ash by the makamou was pretty gnarly. Which brings up another point, I'm actually really surprised at how violent this season has been. From people being fed to monsters, dissolved and fed to monsters, impaled and fed to monsters, the blood (even if it isn't red) when the makamou or douji/hime are attacked, etc. the blood when the oni are injured, that just took me off guard. Especially since this season is sorta recent, I'd have figured by this time they'd have toned it down considering how tame modern seasons have been. Sixth, Kiriya is a dick. And a showoff. Seventh, well he apologized for calling Asumu boring, so he's..not a complete dick? Eight, ok so Kiriya invites Asumu over to thank him for the day prior. He's aight. Nine, so I kinda have Kiriya figured out. He's a bit of a humble braggart, though him faking the sprained finger seemed a bit odd to me (at least it seemed like he was faking it to me). He came off like a bit of a dick at first, but now, I dunno, he seems to be genuinely trying to be friends with Asumu, and aside from his tendency to showoff how much better he is at everything, he's not really that much of an ass. And he seems to have some personal problems as of yet unexplored. Tenth, Hibiki is his father?!?!?!

No. No, he isn't.
Episode 31 went down smoothly. I actually rather liked the plot with Asumu getting to know his father, and I'm still not quite sure what to make of Kiriya entirely. Next episode looks to be an upgrade form arc, should be good. Kurenai form was alright, but it was a palette swap more than anything, so getting something new will be a good refresh. And curious to see what the mysterious couple are up to with their new experiment they've been hinting at.

Yeah I think I'm one of the few who didn't mind the second half of Hibiki. It actually had some good story arcs. The one with Ibuki and Akira and the one with Zanki and Shuki were pretty good I think. The ending could have been better though. I found Kiriya to be annoying to the point that I'm having a hard time appreciating Yuuto in Den-O as I'm watching it now.
Speaking of which I'm at ep 23 already. Holy hell so now Ryoutarou has five Imagins? Wonder what form would Sieg be? I found his voice familiar so I researched on it and found out he voiced Hiruma in Eyeshield 21. I loved that anime.

Sieg doesn't really stick around. He mostly just appears in the various movies, and even then he usually just randomly shows up out of nowhere to help out.

Hey NGW, since it is fresh in your mind, what are the episodes of Hibiki that had all of the Onis teaming up to take out the mutated monsters that were teaming up? I thought it was 21, but that does not seem to be right. I also want to say it was the episode where Ibuki saw the man and woman walking down the street and tried to follow them.
BTW, you definitely want to stop now. DO NOT PASS GO!! JUST GO HOME!! Once you hit episode 32 or 33 your ears will bleed and you will want to stab your eyes out. Anyway, outside of Gaim and Blade, I haven't watched anything KR related recently. It has more to do with not needing the temptation to get some more Figuarts as I don't have any money to buy any new Figuarts outside of those I already have preordered (especially since I am trying to play catch up with MonsterArts). When I do head back into the KR world, what series should I tackle? Or give another shot to? I've got all of Amazon to watch and I believe KIT is more than halfway through Skyrider, so it is a show I'd be able to take my time with. Or maybe it is Stronger they are halfway through with... Or do I want to give Den-O and Kabuto a rewatch since they first aired? Last edited by Dr Kain; 12-30-2013 at 01:03 PM.. |
