You should label them like this:
Red (the most used) for the obvious bit of information Green (second most used) for things that are likely to happen Yellow (third most used) for things that MIGHT happen Blue (never used) for random-ass abstract possibilities that could happen, but probably won't But I'm not really finding common ground with this series yet. It's lacking something to make me want to watch it. Maybe when we get to the 10s it'll pick up a bit. |

Wizard continues to be good. I was wondering if Shunpei would keep his magic and be an apprentice to Haruto but the route they're going seems nice. That was also a pretty damn cool rider kick. And once again Haruto doesn't get any donuts, at this rate he won't get any until Marvelous gets to finish his curry

I did not know the dragon turned into a giant foot. That is kind of awesome.
Very fun episode. Shunpei is still annoying, but I am finding him kind of funny at times. I'm thinking he's going to be the Ohsugi of Wizard. It's hard to put my finger on it, but a lot of the tone of this show reminds me more of the earlier Heisei era - the pre-W stuff. In a good way, thankfully. |

I'm calling it now: Kamen Rider Dragonzord for the next Sentai's Megazord (or GokaiOh) in Superhero Taisen 2 (assuming they're planning one).
So, great episode. The TV station was a fun place for the main fight. Is it me or is Wizard using a Chinese broadsword style? The spinning of that style works well with the suit's coat tails. Anyways, I do hope these dragon fights continue because the scale of them is fun even if the CGI isn't great. To bad Wizard's foot goes into an unfortunate place for Kick Strike. Next week: Cat Sìth! PS Can I haz crossover? |

So far I've liked every episode more than the last, but this is the first one where the different tones kind of meshed well for me. The plamo familiars not being around didn't hurt.
The Phantoms, I realize they're the villains and therefore necessarily Evil, but they seem especially dickish in this show! They have to basically destroy the Gate emotionally to get them to produce their Phantom, and for the first time I really felt that come across. Rinko was just sort of having a bad day, but this kid Shunpei was just obliterated emotionally. Hellhound just crushed his world on live tv. Scumbag! I think this works really well to kind of manipulate us into liking Wizard more and more. He's not just saving them, he's helping them. I can see why they're sort of gravitating towards him(beyond the cast-building aspect of that). He's basically a self-help guru, except instead of getting them to help themselves he's literally jumping inside them to destroy their inner demons. So far we've only seen the robot dragon(does it have a name yet?) in the inner worlds of the Gates. I wonder if that's setting up something, like the Dragon breaking out into the real world. That's another aspect I like - as evil as the Phantoms are, they're kind of secondary to the demons inside the gates. In the few toku shows I've seen the danger from the MOTW seems mostly just talked about and basically exists so the hero can have a reversal at the battle's climax. You always know they'll be defeated because there's some bigger enemy around the corner they have to get to. The Phantoms are the same way, but the stakes continue being high even after they're defeated. The Phantom of the week may be defeated, but that's no guarantee Wizard will save the Gate. I'm wondering when we'll see that happen. |

It's called "Wizardragon." It's a very dumb name and like Wizarswordgun, I'm not quite sure how to say it without cursing.

Wizard henshin a la Blade. Loved it.
Anyway, was a nice episode. I felt myself getting pretty sad for Shunpei, so I already know one of these Phantoms is gonna really pull on my heartstrings later on. I was hoping Shunpei would really be a wizard. Guess not. Shame. I just hope he doesn't fade into the background as much as Double's informants or half the KRC...

Another excellent episode. The fight scenes are beautifully choreographed, and having WizarDragon turned into a giant foot for the Rider Kick was, simply BRILLIANT. Really loving how Rinko is now integrated into the inner circle and how much Koyomi was a bit put off on that.
Having watched Decade, W, OOO, and Fourze, I'd have to say Wizard is the best of the bunch right now. Hopefully the quality will hold up because I am really enjoying each episode every week. |

God I hope Shunpei fades out. Listening to him shout Alakazam 30 times was enough for me to hope Haruto would fail and Shunpei would become a Phatom. Overall really enjoyed this episode again. The show has a great early Heisei feel with it's talk of characters dying, bringing despair and such. I really dig that. And it has just enough of the light hearted comedy to enjoy as well. And as for the Rider Kick?
