Just watched Karate Robo Zaborgar. The first half of it was awesome. The second half was decent, but not nearly as great as the first half. I want to watch the series now.
I also watched Godzilla: Tokyo SOS earlier. Awesome battles, but the lack of any sort of plot other than "should we let Mothra defend us, or risk Mothra attacking and use MechaGodzilla?" made it a bit forgettable.

UltraMan Nexus Episode 11: So Faust is manipulating Riko to somehow affect Komon. This is getting a lot darker and interesting than I thought. Also with this Mizorogi guy I think is the man who probably shot Riko and was there during her family's attack and is the reason he left the Night Raiders. Nexus vs Faust was awesome again, definitely see this escalating even more next time. I feel bad for Komon that he lost a lot in whatever happened to Riko and will probably get worse for him as this series goes for the next few episodes.
UltraMan Nexus Episode 12: Okay so Mizorogi is the main bad guy for the time being using Riko as a puppet to become Faust is such a dick move, and I feel so bad for Komon after that. I really enjoyed Himeya saving Komon from the darkness, I want to know why he wants to help Komon though, unless he knows that Komon has been manipulated mostly all this time. Mizorogi is definitely something else with summoning that Space Beast to attack Komon. I felt really sad during Riko as Faust's sacrifice and her apparent death. This was something else, man UltraMan's storytelling is powerful UltraMan Nexus Episode 13: I see how Mizorogi's manipulations have a grander scheme attached here, with knowing Komon was going to join the Night Raiders, I wonder what his endgame is though, I feel it is more than just showing Nagi she is worthy. Now Nagi finally got some good character development here wanting to find Komon and make sure he is alright I really that because she has been a bit cold-hearted and full of hate previously so it's good she cares more than just hating beasts. I like how Himeya is being Komon's guardian angel and it looks like we will get more of him next episode which is good because he still has mystery to him. Mizorogi is still a trolling jackass, but a good and intriguing villain. I am guessing he sent the monster after that family at the end and I hope that they don't die like Riko's family did. I continue feeling bad for Komon now being manipulated even more by Mizorogi into being tortured and tormented, I hope Komon ends up stronger from this. UltraMan Nexus Episode 14: Well this show has gotten darker and this just furthered it. The family being attacked that Komon took the picture of with a Riko in it is just further manipulation from Mizorogi which is really horrible of him, also I am starting to love him more as a villain, his planning is really good. Also his Mephisto form is pretty awesome, the fight with Nexus was insanely awesome. Komon I feel worse that giving in to hate is just taking him down the way Mizorogi wants. Also him destroying the monster and not knowing Riko was in there I could see his anguish afterwards. I also could see the rage in Himeya after they destroyed the monster with Riko in it, he was enraged from it. This show is getting really good, I can't wait for more. UltraMan Nexus Episode 15: This episode was what I was waiting for! Finally learning more about Himeya from his perspective, I feel so bad for him about losing Sera and that she died because he decided to go take the pictures rather than making sure she was out of the way. I can feel his regret emanating from him. I totally loved his scene with Komon and trying to help him realize that hate doesn't help anything. I feel bad that Komon is just a pawn in Mizorogi's game I hope he breaks free from that. Nexus vs Mephisto was amazing again I really love both suits and characters. I'm not the Night Raiders are really helping Komon with everything he's dealing with he's not the same as them and I hope the realize that, and I hope Komon eventually gets through to Nagi about hate as well. I am glad that the friend of Himeya is looking into the accidents to find out what Himeya is doing because I think something more is going on especially from that scene a couple episodes ago. UltraMan Nexus Episode 16: I am so glad they showed Himeya's tragic back story because I can feel and root for him more. I like how all the hard work he's put in with Komon in the past episodes actually came back and helped Komon this episode too. Komon has obviously been going through depression and before just giving into the darkness he finally found the resolve to put the hate and the sadness behind him and be able to soldier on from Riko's Death because the memories of her keep her alive. The more I think about Nexus, the more this is a phenomenal show with the issues they deal with. The Captain giving Komon the blaster to help defeat the Space Beast definitely helped Komon realize what he is was fighting for and what he had to too so very good scene. The fighting was excellent against Nexus definitely puts on an awesome show when he fights, I love the jump kicks. I was sort of into UltraMan when I was watching UltraSeven X, now I'm definitely into UltraMan the more I watch this show. This is my same Kamen Rider, GARO, Metal Hero, Super Sentai, Power Rangers level obsession with the series. Oh also I don't know why they switched the end theme a couple episodes ago but I love the new one so much more.

Mobile Cop/Tactical Officer/Kido Keiji Jiban Episode 1: Well starting off topic Kamen Rider Black definitely felt more like a Metal Heroes show than a Kamen Rider, lol moving on to what I actually watched. Anyways Jiban is totally awesome, I definitely see how he was inspired by RoboCop. As much as I love RoboCop, Jiban is much cooler. This episode felt like it was in the middle of an ongoing established plot which is fine because I like stories that don't always start from the beginning. Biolon the evil organization seems intriguing with their monsters being made from animals and metal, Dr. Giva is quite a character as well. I wasn't sure what to expect going into this show but getting more kickass RoboCop makes me excited for it. Jiban having a finisher with his sword made me excited, Jiban having a sword made me excited lol. I love swords by the way. Learning that he is a cyborg is cool, I love Naoto he has a lot of personality and looks like a lot of fun. I can't wait to learn more about his family, how he became Jiban and what Biolon is up to. Really awesome first episode.

GARO Makai No Hana Episode 11: Well I like that Raiga has both elements from his mother and his father because he sounds like he has an artist's soul which I really like from him because I feel like an artist too. This episode's effects were really special with turning people into Manga characters and using manga effects brought to life and having the last fight scene mirrored with manga scenes was really impressive. Crow looks like he has his own mission or something up right now. Yeah this season is very episodic right now it's not bad because Raiga, the fighting, and the effects are really impressive, the storytelling is mediocre right now but still I want to keep watching.
GARO Makai No Hana Episode 12: This episode reminded me a lot of Leo and Kaoru's episode where they go look for the Spirit Beast. It was nice, not much to say but I do like Raiga's kindness a lot with taking this girl with him. Well the next episode looks more exciting. This wasn't a bad episode just kind of slow but heartfelt by the end of it. GARO Makai No Hana Episode 13: This episode is night and day between the last episode. This has been my favorite episode of the season because you get to learn about Crow, and he develops as well which is what I've been wanting for a while now in the show. I love a flying knight, his wings are amazing, and how he saved Mayuri was awesome as well. I enjoyed learning about the Shadowfolk who Crow comes from and this Barg beast that they purify their weapons with. Overall very intriguing and great episode especially with Crow coming forth and saying that Mayuri is human and more than just a Madou Tool rather than Raiga who has known that for a while; that it comes from Crow just shows how much he's grown and that he saved her because of who she is, I just loved a lot. I love the presence Raiga gets when he showed the Garo-Ken to Gento who apologized instantly, that just a deep amount of respect that I like to see. Well I also enjoy the new opening theme a lot, and the opening video was awesome. The ending is good too and I was shocked and loved that at the end the episode had Crow instead of Raiga. Like always can't wait for more. GARO Makai No Hana Episode 14: Nice to learn about Mayuri this episode, I felt it did a good job keeping the focus on her being Human like the last episode did. I really like that both Crow and Raiga keep standing up for her being human and being connected to her. Raiga definitely has his father's heroic spirit willing to sacrifice part of his life span for her is something highly altruistic and respectable. Makai Priest Shidou was interesting being Mayuri's caretaker and being afraid to get attached to her because he didn't want her to lose her. These episodes still being episodic are okay as long as they focus on the characters and using them good and pushing them forward. GARO Makai No Hana Episode 15: A very nice recap episode. I liked seeing how Gonza felt about Raiga, Crow, and Mayuri, as well as everything Raiga said about Gonza. It was a very nice and heartfelt episode. Also it was good to know what happened to Kaoru and Kouga as well. I think they are doing something different with Gonza and Raiga helping Mayuri be human like Gonza and Kaoru did with Kouga. I also like how he said Crow was growing too. I really like the cast of this series they are awesome.

So, I watched Rodan. I've never seen any other Toho monster movies, so I don't have anything to compare it to. But standing alone, it was good for what it was. I thought the miniature work was fantastic, even if the costume design wasn't great. The human characters weren't bad, but I was expecting more of an explanation for the giant larvae.

Akumaizer-3 Episode 5: The storytelling of Akumaizer-3 is fantastic and emotional. I loved the showcase of the power of friendship between Zabitan and Siren that it transcended the sides they were on and led to Siren trying to help Zabitan and the others even if it cost him his life. (I knew that was happening I mean this show isn't called Akumaizer-4 after this episode, lol). I got teary-eyed with his death like Zabitan. Learning more about Darunia who is keeps helping the Akumaizer's out in her own way but definitely she is intriguing and can't wait to see more. Gabura looking out for Zabitan was great, and Ibiru questioning Zabitan in the beginning I liked too I also liked Ibiru knowing Zabitan's heart and knowing he has to speak to Siren as well. The team is very strong and defined characters that help even more to make this an amazing watch, I forget this was from 1975 when I get into it.

UltraMan Nexus Episode 17: I think Mizorogi called Himeya one of the best titles ever and made me like him more. "Comic Book Hero" That was awesome because Himeya delivered a great line to him before hand and going to help the Night Raiders over fighting Mizorogi was great. The fighting was awesome Nexus kicked ass though he got roughed by this monster. I like that the monster is the first monster Himeya fought and with his hypnotizing ability I see why Mephisto came in to save it. Nagi just has more layers with her dark back story with Mizorogi and these zombie-like people they fought. I feel bad for her. Also glad Komon has his fighting spirit back and managed to get past the illusions to help UltraMan Nexus too. Mizorogi is interesting but I can't help but feel he might be another pawn or a knight of some grander enemy if the zombie-like people were around a year ago.
UltraMan Nexus Episode 18: Finally back story with Mizorogi. I am intrigued that he was driven by his fear and cowardice which lead him to his dark path and meeting Dark Mephisto. His death from his own arrogance was great too. I enjoyed him as a villain but his manipulations needed to end sooner rather than later. I enjoyed Wakura and Komon going after Nagi because she meant a lot to both of them and I like the pain you see from Wakura thinking about the past. It's great to learn more about these other characters besides just Himeya and Komon. The ending is crazy I can't wait to see what happens next. UltraMan Nexus Episode 19: Well I am worried about Himeya because of his wounds not healing though I respect and love his courage going to fight when he is wounded though. The Goregolem is very interesting I like seeing a more powerful Space Beast rather than just Faust or Mephisto being the pain in the ass. I feel bad for the Photographer who was inspired by Himeya but got eaten by the Goregolem, though I feel he will have great importance with his photos. I liked the Captain's scene with Himeya as well and liked Himeya not trusting their organization because I don't either. I am intrigued to see what happens next. Ultraman Nexus Episode 20: Yeah Himeya is looking like shit right now, I think this is leading up to his swan song sadly. I still love his bravery and going to battle against the Goregolem twice even though he isn't fully healed, he one epic character. Komon was great taking initiative for wanting to pilot the new Chrome Chester to help them defeat it. It sucks their machines couldn't damage it, the damn monster freaking forcefield, but damn this monster has taken 2 episodes so far and still not defeated. I like that Captain Wakuza is doing more than just following orders and starting to question who he is working for. I really hope Himeya's friend gets those pictures in the newspaper because I can't wait to see how TLT flips a lid when the Monster get exposed to the world.

GARO Makai No Hana Episode 16: I completely agree with Mayuri about not understanding why people read stuff that is scary or other stuff like that. I liked seeing Raiga's frustration from the beginning of not stopping Eiris' seed. I enjoyed Raiga and Crow fighting together that was freaking amazing. I liked how Raiga and Crow talked at the end about if they envy the people having a normal life enjoying themselves and how they agree that they don't want them to experience true terror so they like protecting them. Not much happened in this episode but very good character moments and action which I really like in GARO.
GARO Makai No Hana Episode 17: Yay Flashback! Yay Rei! I loved this episode so much, but Rei makes everything better. It was a lot of fun seeing Raiga as a kid and being trained and brought on a Horror Hunt with Rei. Rei made a very good teacher and I totally understand why Raiga acts like Rei because he was trained by him so he picked up his habits along the way. I like how he picked up the pipe against the Horror as a precursor to him fighting with both his sword and sheath. Raiga vs Rei was a lot of fun too he is strong for a little kid. I am intrigued with the Makai Priestess because I was wondering who she was but I'm hoping we find out later or I'm forgetting if I saw her before. I loved the flashing between past and present with his birthdays that was a touching scene. I also liked seeing Mayuri look through the books in the credits seeing her learn more is cool. It looks like a Crow episode next which I'm hoping to learn more about him. GARO Makai No Hana Episode 18: I really enjoyed Bikuu she was very intriguing and kick ass. Learning that they have something called a Darkness Hunter in the Makai world that is kind of like Internal Affairs for them is really interesting; must be a very painful and difficult job to take out friends like that; I'm wondering if this is a newer position that they came up with after the whole thing with Leo's brother from Makai Senki to find and deal with Rogue Makai Knight/Priests. I wish Crow was used more in this episode because it felt like he wanted to prove himself in the fight but I'm happy with him saving Bikuu and getting thanked for it. I like the Shadowfolk people that him and Bikuu are apart of, I wouldn't mind seeing more of them. The fight scene was very well done with Raiga, Bikuu, and Crow vs. Possessed Izumo; lots of well done movements and actions, I really loved the choreography and every second of it, especially when Raiga transformed and got to see the armor a lot more was awesome. I feel really bad for Bikuu after learning that Izumo was her little brother she must be in a lot of pain and masking it; I also feel she is trying to find who released Eiris for the reason of learning why the person did and partially for revenge because Eiris being released did lead to her brother getting killed. I was hoping for more Crow but honestly this was definitely one of my favorite episodes of this season. I also enjoyed the Crow vs Bikuu test and Raiga vs Bikuu test just because of how different they were and to see that Raiga won and Crow just let his guard down. I feel that Crow was very frustrated this episode at points and felt that he should have fought harder against the Horror but maybe he was being smart and knew that he couldn't beat the Horror so just let Raiga handle it and not be a distraction or get himself hurt or worse in battle. GARO Makai No Hana Episode 19: This villain was a lot of fun, I really liked how he acted crazy and with the music. Though I think Raiga was more fun in this episode with how he was sitting during the performance and said that the Horror couldn’t handle his song. I loved how the white of their outfits was lit up during the fight and how Raiga’s song was played during it just made the battle that much more awesome. I enjoyed how Mayuri was enjoying the music and how it made her feel the light, I liked how she has been enjoying the culture more and more throughout the series. Only a few more of the Slab horrors left, I can’t wait to see how this series ends. GARO Makai No Hana Episode 20: This was the episode I was waiting for; learning about Crow and what the duty of the Phantom Knight was. Seems similar to what Rei did and what the Golden Knight does. Still getting a focus episode about Crow was great, I enjoyed how he was investigating what happened and learned about the missing girl. I also loved that he asked for Raiga's help during the fight because he seems like one to not ask for help but shows he's grown to ask for help. The Iron Man horror was pretty cool and I love how Crow took out the mimic of the girl with ease and how Raiga's saved the girl in the armor. What I love about GARO is how heroic the characters can be, the awesome storytelling, and fight scenes. Sad that I have 5 episodes left. GARO Makai No Hana Episode 21: Well damn a lot happened in this episode. I loved Gonza's scene with Crow explaining to him that he was part of the family I got very emotional there just because I'm happy that was said to him because he is Raiga's and Mayuri's friend and that he does have a family. This horror was really cool, I liked how skilled he was and the actor who played him definitely had a great evil part to him and how he instigated Raiga was his demise though. Man, this episode was pretty much the definition of don't piss of the sensitive, quiet ones because they are the most vicious when they are pissed off; Raiga kicked his ass 6 ways from Sunday and then some. That was a spectacular fight scene and the whole episodes fight scenes were, I loved Crow and Raiga vs this horror. I think they are definitely building up things with Mayuri and if she can actually hold Eiris' seed, will it kill her, and what happens to her afterward. I feel like Crow and Raiga won't take it lightly if anything happens to her. I am not sure if I am supposed to recognize the guy at the end who freed the Slab Horrors or not but Crow definitely knows who it is, and I can't wait to learn more. GARO Makai No Hana Episode 22: Now things start picking up, so I was right that Crow definitely knew who the Makai Knight was. His mentor Eiji is very intriguing and seeing that his lover was the woman who Raiga met as a kid was a surprise but I figured she was someone important to the story. I like that Raiga tried to get Mayuri her freedom and trusts Crow after everything. Crow confronting his mentor was good, it's also interesting to see that he went from the bottom to being the top pupil. Seeing Eiji's motivation makes a lot of sense and while not the newest idea I still really enjoy it. I can't wait to see how this goes. Crow and Raiga vs Eiji was awesome too. GARO Makai No Hana Episode 23: Well something I forgot to mention in the last episode but still fits for this one is Eiji fights insanely, I mean he'll just grab Crow and Raiga's swords by the blades and he'll use his own sword unconventionally, I absolutely enjoyed that a whole lot. I loved Crow's conviction, strength, courage, and sacrifice this episode with fighting against his master/hero, trying to free Mayuri and letting Eiris take his body instead of Mayuri's, I love that he is willing to risk everything to protect her. Raiga talking down Eiji and making him realize the error of his ways was great, showing that there is more to defeating someone then just beating him and not needing to have senseless bloodshed, also bringing back what Akari said to Raiga when he was a kid too. I'm happy Bikuu returned I really liked her and hope to see more. Learning more about Eiji and Mayuri was interesting as well and I think showed more for Mayuri's character too. The fight scenes have just been getting better and better with Raiga vs Eiji in knight form was badass and Eiris in Crow's body vs Raiga and Eiji was outstanding, I am blown away by how awesome this combat is. GARO Makai No Hana Episode 24: Crow vs Raiga was intense, and I just loved hearing about how Raiga's kindness helped change Crow and helped him get past Eiris' possession of him, and how Raiga has been living up a promise which is why he is so kind. Seeing that Eiris is the one who grabbed Raiga's mother is huge, Raiga wouldn't have become who he is if that didn't happen so this is definitely interesting. Eiris seems really powerful and they are definitely in trouble with her taking the Armor's time and making Raiga transform into the giant monstrous wolf form. I can't wait to see how the end this is really intense, and I can't wait for more. GARO Makai No Hana Episode 25 (Finale): Well this was one hell of a finale. I enjoyed that Eiji came back and him and Crow fought to try and free Raiga from the evil that the monstrous form he has taken did to him. I also love that Bikuu came back and helped Mayuri try and capture Eiris too. I wish Eiji and Bikuu were both in the story more but still were really good for the limited time they were in it. I love that the bell helped restore Raiga's hope and helped him break past the Heart Destruction limit of the Makai Knight armor and creating that new Luminous form to battle against Eiris was something else, I adore that armor so much I lost track of what I was thinking off when I say it. It is a thing of beauty. I was really happy that Mayuri didn't want to forget everyone and that everyone was saddened about what was going on with her; also really happy that she can stay with Raiga and after Raiga going into her Ego to help out I'm really glad she remembers him. A really good finale, a little more GARO focused than I would have liked but can't blame it when he is the main character. Though it would have been great to see Crow and Giru actually help save Raiga rather than Raiga saving himself, make the others seem more useful that's all I'm saying but really good finale. Overall thoughts: Yeah this was a very solid series, not my favorite but the characters were definitely something else, though Raiga was the only one who got anything truly good in this series. Crow got some really good development but never really defeated a monster or was used as much as he should have, I mean you have a real suit for his outfit he could have transformed more; I mean it sucks when some of his best fights was when he was possessed. Mayuri was great for evolving as a character but was pretty useless when they went Horror Hunting, I mean you think she could be trained to fight. Raiga liked I said got great character development from start to finish, great action, pretty much showed why he was the Golden Knight; I honestly love Raiga more than I love Kouga, and not saying anything bad about Kouga, I just love the artistic soul to Raiga that he has a lot of great qualities from both his father and mother. I miss Kouga and felt that he should maybe came back for this at some point along with Kaoru too. Eiji-Taishi was great though I feel that he should have been in the show earlier though and actually helping them then you see his heel turn somewhere in the middle. I enjoyed his motivation for what he did with releasing Eiris and I love how he grew afterwards and by the end of it he was helping to save Raiga. Bikuu continues the tradition of badass female Makai Priests and I loved her being the Dark Hunter and would have loved to see more of her. What I don't like about this show is that it definitely didn't use the supporting characters as well as it could have, and that it's episodic nature didn't really make any sense for this show. I will say that the Horror Movie and Manga episodes were two really out of this world episodes that were fantastic and the Flashback bringing back Rei was great too. Overall this is definitely a great watch but it has flaws to it.
