Aaaagh why does Kiva have to be so dumb? It should be easy to not be this dumb. But damn. Only 4 minutes into episode 34 and I am compelled to post once more.
How do you just go from Wataru's stupid little celebration of being rejected by Mio to the two of them sitting in a cup ride??? Does Inoue not know what scene transitions are? Or logic? Or how to write??? More and more, I'm inclined to believe the answer to all these questions, and more, is a resounding no. |

Man, seeing you and Mars gradually descend into madness watching Kiva has been fascinating.

Man, I'm mildly compelled to rewatch Kiva since it's apparently the apex of stupidity, and I don't remember it being so

That's just your brain's way of coping with the trauma.

Kiva is a mess but I can’t help but love it to pieces anyway. I love the madness of it all.

Wow ok, so funny story, after episode 34 offended me so much with its cup ride antics, I stopped the episode and posted that complaint up at the top there. Then I left the episode paused like that for over three hours. Turns out if I'd waited 20 more seconds I could have seen there was kind of an explanation!
I guess I owe another apology to Kiva, I got a little ahead of myself there. It's still a dumb show, but I guess not for this one thing in particular. It is kind of worrying that randomly transitioning to these guys in an amusement park ride for no reason is something I could easily see Kiva doing though. It really is that kind of show. Still, I should probably wait until I actually finish an episode to comment on it. There's plenty of bad stuff in each already, I don't need to make up any more. And hey, it's Kengo. Seems he's achieved his final form as well: Big Ol' Jerk Form. And hey, Maya is a pirate. Cool. |

So Wataru turned into a big CG dragon thing. I assume they wanted it to be a bat, but it's a dragon.
I'm like. Going to go ahead and assume that's gonna end up as one of those things in Kiva that happens and then doesn't matter or get explained again. It helped Riki find a sword at least, but....no! Riki, don't you realize?? Once he has the Zubat sword he won't ever draw you guys out ever again, even occasionally! Well, not that he was doing that anyway, but...eh (rip in peace, ramon). Anyway, episode 35 actually wasn't bad. Wataru finally fessed up to Taiga about liking Mio, which is really something. I would have expected Kiva to draw out the m i s u n d e r s t a n d i n g s for at least 10 more episodes, so this is cool. I wonder when I started caring more about the 2008 stuff than the 1986 stuff though, that used to be the more interesting part....although "caring" is a bit of a strong word at this point. I guess I'd blame Maya for that though. Well, not her specifically I guess, just the Romantic Plot Tumor she's involved in, not unlike the other Queen. But at least other stuff is happening in 2008, ever since Rook was defeated literally nothing has happened in the 1986 side but Otoya and Maya being weird. Meh. |

Already finished Drive and now marathoning Fourze. I sense a new batch of SH Figuarts for me in the near future...

So I'm watching episode 17 of Super-1, and...
Did XIG really translate kendo as "fencing?" but why. That's some real jelly-filled donuts shit. ...Anyway, Super-1 actually isn't too bad. It's not like, super great, and Kazuya's actor has a really punchable looking face, imo, which is distracting (as is his poor fashion sense) but it's not bad. This episode in particular was alright, because it had a nonstandard kaijin. 99.9 times out of 100, Showa kaijin all act the same way, and may all as well be the same damn character. So it's fun when one comes around with a different personality. Lonely Wolf was a weak loser of a monster, so he was a nice departure from the norm. Also WE ARE!! MIGHTY...BROTHERS...DOUBLE, um, wolf... or, you know, whatever ...I still can't get over the fencing thing, though, it's dumb. |
