SkyRider Episode 52: God damn! There was just so much in this episode that I was not prepared for all of this. Hiroshi had so much emotion here and was driven to the point of a rage I haven’t seen in a while from the Showa Era. His parents being killed by NeoShocker, but might still be alive brought out such a reaction from him; it was a great performance to see. Seeing the Great Leader of NeoShocker manhandle Admiral Demon was something else too, dear God was I not expecting him to be seemingly the same size as King Dark. I do love the loyalty of the NeoShocker members and how they are pissed off at SkyRider for killing their brethren; I mean sure they are evil and have done horrible misdeeds, but the loyalty is admirable. Great to see Shigeru Jo return again; Stronger is just an awesome rider and he works really well with Hiroshi. Also, besides SkyRider wrecking havoc upon so many different NeoShocker minions and bases; it was great to see him do the Rider Break again. It was one of my favorite moves of his from early in the series. 2 more episodes and I can’t wait to see how this goes with his father and Admiral Demon too.

almost finished with Ryuki, only a few more episodes to go.
Started v3 last night and am really enjoying it so far. I'm glad to see more of Takeshi v1 and Hayato v2. I don't know how active they'll be in the series since the focus is obviously on v3, but it's cool to see them nonetheless. |

I finished the second episode, I hope that's not it?
I guess I understand if that is it though. The show's called 'V3', not "V1 and V2 get a playmate." |

well I admit I was hoping for a little more v1/v2 screen time. But I guess after 98 episodes and 2 movies in v1 I can't really complain.
my v3 Bandai vinyl showed up yesterday so it was a perfect time to start watching the original v3 series. (I'd only previously seen v3 in movies and in The Next.) |

Episode 09 of Super-1... damn, what a ride!
So the setup promises us a look inside Dogma's monster production facility. That's kinda cool, seeing how a monster is made. It starts with a Dogma Fighter stealing a truck full of crabs, and apparently, that happened all over the place. Unlike Kamen Rider Black's "fish-stealing" episode where a monster was just really hungry, they need all those crabs to make one monster. So they sort out all the bad parts until they have perfect pincers, perfect shells etc. (which made me a bit hungry, to be honest) and then they enlargen the parts chosen and flick them together with machinery and weapons. So that's how it works? Well, not exclusively I guess since we had humans volunteer to become Dogma monsters before. Anyways, the crab-monster Ganigani is born and the proud evil doctor wants to show his monster off, so they have some tests going on. The doctor lets us know that at the end of the tests the monster will get its "obedience capsule" installed so it can receive commands. At the end, huh? Whatever could possibly go wrong here? And that's exactly what happens, one of Terror Macrow's Imperial guards (yes, they are called that) flips a switch by accident and some bonding stuff happens which finishes the monster but it has no obedience capsule yet so it escapes. So now you expect the monster to run berserk and use those scary pincers of his to tear people apart like it did in the demonstration tests? That's where you'd be wrong and that's why this episode is awesome: OMG That hit me by surprise, I wasn't ready for that shit So yeah, the monster just goes to town and spooks a few people while it's at it, leading to Kazuya and the gang to find it. Dogma is also after it to get that capsule installed which eventually happens, after that Ganigani gets his assignment to steal some sort of crystal Dogma needs for a weapon. Super-1 beats Ganigani, the end. Very fun episode I must say, solely for the moments where the monster dicks around. I also like the rising tension between General Magaal and the Imperial guards, it's fun seeing them bickering at each other. The only missed opportunity is not having any conflict on Kazuya's side if he should destroy the monster or save it. But I guess since it doesn't seem to have any sentience beyond that of a regular crab it wouldn't work out like it did with the Mole Beastman or the Whale Mutant. Also, this is probably my favorite caption from the entire episode, you should all save that one, it seems the uses to describe certain moments in Toku are endless Last edited by Kiwami; 12-29-2017 at 04:11 AM.. |

Finished Episode 25 of Drive, the one where the whole "secret identity" thing goes out the window.
Now they go and reveal that Jun knew Shinnosuke was Kamen Rider Drive all along and was a former colleague of Krim Steinbelt? I don't think I could have seen that one coming and it does make me wonder why there was a need for him to keep his identity a secret when the very division he was working in was set up FOR Kamen Rider Drive to work from. Also as someone who watches F1 on a regular basis, I love the concept of Type Formula, even if the form itself does look a little silly with where the front and rear wings are sticking out of. The explanation as to why it's a dangerous upgrade makes sense, the fact that it exerts so much G-Force on you and that F1 drivers are specially trained to deal with such forces (well, it's something that they themselves do) was an interesting way to create an upgrade that provides drama, at least until he gains three more shift cars to help maintain him (which take the form of a pit stop which is pretty neat). Chase focused episode next and his arc seems to be taking an interesting twist... EDIT: Finished Episode 32 and started Episode 33, Shinnosuke is dead? What the?

SkyRider Episode 53: Still not prepared for this emotional roller coaster of an episode. It was great to see Ichimonji return, I just love seeing Nigou. Alright, so Admiral Demon is one of the biggest assholes and just pulled off a great plan against SkyRider that I am putting him pretty high on the evil villains of Kamen Rider list. So, no one mentions that the Great Leader of NeoShocker is basically an UltraMan villain here and pretty much the size of King Dark too. Dear God, Nigou and Stronger fighting him was just ridiculous with him fighting against his foot and Rider Kick’s not working. I am happy they found Hiroshi’s mother and trying to save her. I cannot wait for this finale; this has a ton of intensity and a great villain, so this should be exciting. =)

SkyRider Episode 54 (FINAL): Wow, just wow. First of all, fuck you NeoShocker; of all the emotional torment that Hiroshi had to deal with and then they go and do that after finally getting him some more happiness. Fuck you, NeoShocker, just fuck you. Though, Hiroshi taking the crossbow the Skull Assassins used and used it against the Great Leader was brilliant. It was a great finale and to see all eight riders again that was great. Also, one last Sailing Jump with all the Riders flying together was an amazing sight to see. This was just a great ending to a brilliant series. This definitely fights, and I think takes the top spot as my favorite Showa Era series. The combat and the music in this episode was amazing and just so many great moments. I am going to miss this series a lot. Fly on SkyRider, fly on!
