^ I'd believe it. Because flowers don't count with this series.

I loved this episode, but I don't like where the show is going. Resetting everything and then giving us the ending through a movie sounds terrible.
I have faith in Ex-Aid since it delivered so much good stuff over the last year, but seeing it ending early and with a movie promising a "true ending" on the horizon - I just wish this show could've gotten 50 episodes and a rather unrelated movie. Anyways, what baffled me a little bit was how brutal Emu was. Maybe they explain that a bit better next week but he really seemed like the bad guy in this battle. It's not like Parad didn't deserve any of this but - I don't know. I wish Emu could've defeated Parad but instead of killing him they would join forever. Maybe that's what they did? Because there is an Ex-Aid in the next episode, so Emu must be able to transform again. |

With Kuuga, a monster literally forced students into suicide which was another dimension of brutality even for Gurongi standards, and it made Godai lose his shit. He was hella mad. But he later realized what he did and that it shouldn't happen again, I can't see that route being used with Ex-Aid, they're going for something different. Because Emu is just so cold and seems to know exactly what he is doing, and he even goes further, when he should instead see and relate to Parad's terror (which he kinda does). I don't know, it felt unnatural to me because the Emu I know would've tried to find a different way. Maybe that's what they are going for? Showing us a side of Emu we never knew could exist? But knowing that he will be able to transform next week again I'll say we're missing a puzzle piece. I don't think Parad is truly dead, maybe Emu only tried to teach him a lesson so they could cooperate, maybe even become one again. |

Now THAT'S the kind of drama I like! Seeing Parad be so utterly terrified was just heartbreaking, and to have Emu tear him apart like that was haunting. Seriously, that kind of scene is what you would expect a villain to do to a main Rider, not the other way around, it was INSANE. All the actors did an amazing job. I really doubt Parad is actually dead though, I suspect it was more like him and Emu became one again. Seeing Mighty Brothers XX show up again seems indicative of that.

How many times do I have to say it, Toei? Leave M alone! Just because he's bad at math doesn't mean you have to kill him off! Very, very, VERY well done episode, although it feels a little undercut by a couple things. This is going to sound more complainy than usual, but rest assured, I enjoyed this one a lot: - So, tell me, Chronus, if you've finally learned you can just shoot the transformation devices out of people's hands before they use them, why have you not tried this on Emu??? The only reason he was still able to transform during Muteki's debut is because he already jammed it in the belt and hit the switch by the time you Paused. It' really frustrating because, while Chronus is a cool villain on a lot of levels, huge swaths of his actions made no discernible sense to me. Like he makes Genm look sane. - And did they ever establish why he can't just erase Parad with his KRC Gashat the same way he can the other Bugsters? I'm not formally complaining about this part until someone can confirm or deny this because I've been known to forget details in this show. - And how is Emu supposed to kill Parad for you if Bugsters only permanently die when killed while time is Paused, anyway? It's been long established that death is cheap for them. - ALL that being said, at least they specifically stated that he's just toying with people by fighting them without Pausing! That's something! Although it just raises further questions about Masamune's personality and motives that I suspect I'll never get satisfying answers to. - Hiiro is adorbs. - All the character stuff with Parad here is just wonderful. - Oh no, Emu killed Parad. Except there was no tone destroying "Game Over" announcement, and Emu never talks or acts like that unless he's tricking somebody, and he transforms in the next episode, and there's a movie we still have to get to, and... - It's cool they were willing to show Emu in that light, though. I imagine that freaked out a lot of kids watching, and that's always a good thing in my book. - Not sure what Ex-Aid's sudden obsession with SYMBOLISM is, though, between Hiiro crying last ep and the whole drowning thing here. I don't remember this show ever being this melodramatic. - The action seemed nicer than usual. Parad and Chronus' little fight had a bit of unusual camerawork I liked a lot. Oh and this doesn't have to do with this episode in particular but am I the only one who doesn't see it as a big deal that Ex-Aid is getting cut "short"? 44 episodes doesn't seem that different to me from 47-48 like most shows that aren't Ghost and Wizard are.

Yeah, I'm not too bothered by Ex-Aid being short either. The only thing that DOES bother me is the fact I will probably have to wait 5 BILLION YEARS (okay that may be a slight exaggeration) to watch the True Ending Movie, by which point in time I'll have probably forgotten everything.

Not sure I would call 44 episodes short really, especially since pretty much none of them are filler and the overall story has kept going all the time.
Unlike seasons like Wizard....Where 80% of the show is filler....And mayonnaise....Urgh.... Last edited by DecoyBlackMage; 07-19-2017 at 08:01 PM.. |
