I've finished up Kamen Rider Gaim, with only the stage shows and the Gridon & Bravo specials left to watch.
And overall, my final thoughts on the show are just that it is very okay. In terms of characters, I felt the cast overall was fairly likable by the end. Even Micchy who, while is far and away not at all a good person, does have a satisfactory character arc that I felt no huge complaints with. Mai still remains my favorite even if she does end up shafted. But in terms of Riders I do gotta give it to Kaito. Even if his views can be seen as contradictory at times, he's always entertaining to watch, and the idea of the Secondary Rider becoming the final boss by the end is in itself really cool. Even as satire, I'm sure writing this was agony for you. The first time I tried to sell you on Drive you said he wasn't a Kamen Rider because he used a car and that you knew you'd hate it.

Black RX has Acrobatter. He still qualifies.

If Revice counts with no bike, then Drive counts with a car.

Tooting. It's funny that the much-debated Geats was forgotten so quickly that his last two films weren't even mentioned (I saw Jamato Awakening, but I'm too lazy to write a review). And only PunkJack fans (of whom I am slightly afraid) demand his appearance in Outsiders.
Geats Extra Gazer Ca va, Enter! This prequel reveals why Niram objected so strongly to Suel wanting to use Tsumuri as a replacement goddess, in addition to his love of reality and food. Miiru, the navigator between Mitsume and Tsumuri, taught him to appreciate the uniqueness of people and eras they come from. We can see this visually represented in Miiru's choice of fashion, being a kimono appropriate for the Sengoku period where they're hosting the DGP. The interactions between Miiru and Niram are cute and wholesome, so even though this is a prequel and the tragic outcome is inevitable, it does a good job framing protagonist Niram as a sympathetic hero and Nemel as a despicable villain. While Niram in the show would still endanger many lives for the sake of his ideal reality, he does take the principles he learned from Miiru seriously as he passes them to Tsumuri, which certainly makes him a better person than most of the future people. Jyamato Awakening Go-On Green is here as well! His partner was a cop, but now he gets murdered by a Jyamato disguised as a cop instead. I saw the true identity of God Jyamato coming as soon as they started talking about natural born Jyama-human hybrids. It's like the Skynet causal loop, in that it's neither only Jyamato nor only humans responsible for the dystopian future, but rather both of their kinds. By the end, the source of the world's destruction has been de-escalated, which apparently solves the future people's problem. So they're only affected by linear causality when it suits them? During Neon's stream, she complains about her prince not being around when she needs him. Dammit, Kyuun letting her down again! He needs to get his act together. Even Beroba shows up to "support" Michinaga. While this movie looked like it would focus on the main 5 Riders sans Win (who's totally absent), it's mostly a Buffa movie with Michinaga getting the most focus. Makes sense that the Jyama God would get the most scenes with God Jyamato and of course he gets the Extra Final Form. Ace also gets an important part, both his present and future selves. Neon and Keiwa participate in fights and Sara guides civilians to safety, but they're otherwise irrelevant to the plot. I can gladly say that the action in both of these was spectacular for sure, with dynamic camera angles and impressive stunts accompanied by a soundtrack that fits the mood. Including a few good out-of-suit fight scenes as well, from Niram showing us his skill with the sword once more, to Neon doing a cool flip and tackle on a Jyamato. Overall, I enjoyed both of the stories, for how they gave due development to Michinaga and Niram. Out of the Riders in this show, I think it was good that they got the focus, as Michinaga kind of fell behind in the final arc and Niram was such an intriguing mystery to delve in to. Would've been nice to see Win though, but I guess we're used to him getting neglected.

Yes, it was obvious. As soon as I heard Daichi's comparison with Ace's fate, I realized that it was not about the mother, but about the son. But what surprised me was how dumb Daichi himself had become since the show. "The Jamato-Adam I created speaks negatively about people! I'll let him live among them unattended, maybe he'll change his mind. And I won't look under the bandages, you need to value privacy." To be honest, I even thought that in the end it would turn out that he would turn out to be a puppeteer, who organized this whole mess, but then it be ruined the entire journey (um, more like a jump) of the character.

Neon definitely needs her special, because she is the only one left without a large buckle. And she didn't even use Beat Fantasy together. I haven't watched the Niram special yet, but I missed the opportunity to call it: "Kamen Rider Gazer. Realization of Realism of Realistic Reality". Last edited by Mesnick; 04-13-2024 at 12:18 PM.. |

At this point, I consider any characters that do not appear in Outsiders lucky. Appearing in Outsiders means the character (and series) will be butchered. I pray to God every night so that any characters from Black, Agito, and Gaim will never make an appearance in Outsiders. |
