finished my ultraseven dvds finally yesterday after so long and watched the banned episode today. gotta say I frikkin loved ultraseven. it was a show for people of all ages to enjoy. it had its light hearted and serious moments, while also having some pretty mature themes in it, not to mention that not all of it was black and white. plus one or two of the space creature attacks they brought on themselves.

So I kind of watched the Kiba Gaiden story of GARO, do I have to watch it? Because honestly it bored me and I don't really care about the character. I don't have enough of a reason to feel interested in watching it. I mean will I be fine if I go to the next thing I need to watch? I mean I skimmed through it, and it doesn't interest me.

Rewatching Tomica Hero Rescue Force, and just rewatching episode 2 I'm reminded why I like this show so much.
All the characters are really likable and the emphasis on rescue instead of fighting bad guys is refreshing. Of course they do have to fight the robots creating the extreme disasters on their way but they are a rescue team first and foremost. Their suits are also probably my favorite Toku suits, yes even beating Sentai and Kamen Rider(well except for Wizard Flame Style and Chalice Ace form). And it's theme song is one that's so good that no matter how much I've seen the same stock footage I still end up getting pumped up

Garo Makai Senki Episode 1: Since I reached where I wanted to in Black I can finally start this. It's great to get back to Garo! Boobs, Action, and Makai Knights! The horror was very cool looking and interesting but it was great to see Kouga and Garuba come back and kick ass. Very intrigued with him being the Knight of the Senate and the guy at the end putting that seal of destruction on Kouga, I am intrigued to see where this goes.
Garo Makai Senki Episode 2: I really love how the Senate building looks, it's huge and magnificent. Leo looks like a fun character, I can't wait to see more of him. It's great that Kaoru is going to be making her own picture book just like her father, and I liked that she was trying to go away instead of walking into the light. Kouga is once again awesome, that fight was great especially with barely any CGI in it. I worry for Kouga with this seal on his chest but it makes for a great ongoing story so far. Ultra Seven Episode 1: Well this was pretty good even with how old it is. I enjoyed the threat of the Coul aliens, and the Defense Force are pretty interesting reminding me of Shield. Dan is a fun character so far. The action definitely felt really dated with those dog fight scenes. Though Windham looked fun and I liked Ultra Seven. I might start watching more of this later but I have it downloaded just to have for the time being. Ah I see almost a month since I last watch Garo: Makai Senki. Good to know lol. GARO: Makai Senki Episode 3: Loved seeing Leo and Kouga work together. All the motorcycle action kind of put Kamen Rider to shame a bit, lol. The real intriguing part was with Rei having the same seal of destruction as Kouga. Can't wait for more. GARO: Makai Senki Episode 4: This was a fun episode, with Kouga playing poker. I have to say that it was great to the actor who played Kusaka/Kaixa from Faiz guest star but it would've been more fun if he was in an episode with Rei since they were both in Faiz together. Though he plays a great villain more than a manipulative anti-hero. Great action though.

I've gotten a bit bored of watching Rider and Sentai on rotation so I've decided to check out the original Kikaider series. I've been meaning to for a while because the whole "its a superhuman/robot pretending to be a human rather than vice versa" appeals to me.
The first two episodes were a lot of fun, but the show is really showing its age. I guess this is the oldest Toei show I've watched, but Amazon only came out two years later and that was a lot more impressive for its time. The plot is really interesting and I like DARK, but Kikaider doesn't have much in the special power departments so the repetitive jumps and karate chops can get a little boring at times. Jiro REALLY knows how to make an entrance with that guitar though The one thing that really amuses me is that both episodes have ended with Mitsuko and Masaru calling out to Jiro and him biking away looking determined, yet by the next episode he's back hiding out with them

Garo Makai Senki Episode 5: Interesting episode I definitely see the monster or horror from the dark hole coming back. I am really enjoying Leo and Kouga together they are awesome. I like that he tried to help with the Seal of Destruction. I hope it gets to being more about the main characters than the side characters who just focus on the episode they are in.
Garo Makai Senki Episode 6: Really good episode, okay I'm biased lol It was great to see Rei get a focus episode I've missed him. I feel bad for this couple being preyed upon by the horror. Zero kicked ass though, it was just awesome imagery here. Garo Makai Senki Episode 7: Hell yeah! I see this is the episode that the series really picks up at. That evil Makai Priest vs Kouga fight was one of the best I've seen since Kouga vs Rei from the first season. Very impressive, I am enjoying learning more about Makai Priests a lot and can see why they have a level of hatred to Makai Knights. I am intrigued with who Leo saw when Kaoru held the brush. This is definitely getting more and more intriguing. Garo Makai Senki Episode 8: Yay another Rei episode. I really enjoyed Juuzou in this he was very different for a horror and lead to a different battle with Rei. The action was intense and seeing the physical Zero suit is extremely awesome instead of the CG one. Definitely intrigued to see where this goes.

Janperson Episode 1: This was one of the best first episodes of a Toku show I've seen. The danger felt real with trying to get the vaccine to the hospital, as well as the guy who ran away from the Guild too. Then Robot Assassins show up and cause havoc and the mighty purple robot of Awesomeness comes in and kicks 10 kinds of ass on them. Then delivers the vaccine in time. Janperson is such a badass, I love how he fights and his car that turns into an awesome jet too! I need more! The guild looks like a very interesting villain group. Janperson is like a cooler version of RoboCop who can actually move! This is definitely worth a watch.

GARO Makai Senki Episode 9: Well I got see Takatora die again lol it was nice seeing him in this even for the quick moment he was in. Definitely different than Takatora lol. Still felt like kind of a filler episode but the action was good, the next episode looks like we'll get more with Leo and Kaoru which looks interesting.
GARO Makai Senki Episode 10: Wow the Spirit Beast was one of the most beautiful, amazing, and spectacular things I have seen. It's like a dragon merged with an angel and those are two of my favorite things ever. Leo is so amazing and kicked ass. Man the characters are awesome in this series. I really loved seeing Leo and Kaoru on an adventure together it was a lot of fun to see all the creatures they did. I also loved Kouga's reaction at the end to the picture Kaoru drew him. GARO Makai Senki Episode 11: Kouga can get even more awesome. =) I just enjoy how he spends his time with Kaoru. The Tower where he receives his title and his purification was awesome. The fight with the monster also totally awesome. Also seeing Kouga without his helmet on with his armor is totally cool too. GARO Makai Senki Episode 12: I really loved this episode a lot. Seeing the girl with the horror connected to her be connected to Rei makes it really personal and it was great to see how emotional he got when dealing with the situation. This shows me why Rei is my favorite again. Also I loved how he said he was protecting her Future smiles. Great to see there is a bit of Kuuga in Zero. Coincidentally my Zero and Kuuga figuarts are next to each other so that makes it even better. GARO Makai Senki Episode 13: Wow! So this is what a fight in Harry Potter should have looked like. Jabi vs the Evil Makai Priest was a total badass fight, and Jabi is so kick ass, I love her now more then ever. The new opening is awesome too! I didn't like the original opening and skipped it, now I'm not going to be doing that. I'm not sure about Leo anymore but that might just be a red herring but we'll see what happens. I really like that this show isn't afraid to let the other characters besides Kouga have focus episodes.

Just finished Kikaider, and for a show that's beginning to show it's age it's still a very enjoyable watch. It does have a bit of a downturn in the middle but it comes back for some fantastic episodes once the lead up to Hakaider's debut starts. Hakaider/Saburo is just badass, and definitely one of my favourite toku characters I've come across. Shame he went out like a bitch, but at least I know he makes a comeback in Kikaider 01.
The show reminded me quite a lot of Kamen Rider Black, since they both share the theme of searching for a family member and both had their "big" villain only show up for the last handful of episodes. However while Black has MUCH better monster design on its side (seriously, halfway through Kikaider they look less like animals and more like blobs), Kikaider handled its continuity significantly better. The cast were proactive in trying to find Dr Kohmyoji, while Kotaro kinda just moped around saying "where's Noboyuki" and blamed everything on Golgom. Kohmyoji's amnesia did get a little ridiculous (especially when he got his memory back only to lose it again 5 minutes later), but I was happy that it was a main part of the story even with all the unrelated DARK attacks. So yeah, great show overall and I look forward to checking out Kikaider 01!

So i decided to get a bit out of my comfortzone and started watching kaiketsu Zubat. Man this show is badass and I´m really liking it so far. Granted I´m only two episodes in but what its doing is really good. Ken Hayakawa is a great protagonist and extremely charming. You really feel the grief he is feeling for the loss of his best friend and the anger that is still lingering inside him.
Its very different to see a toku show were the enemies are just people and not some crazy monsters. That gives the show a very different feeling compared to Kamen Rider or Super Sentai. |
