Kamen Rider Fourze (Series Thoughts): Ah it's been a while but another Kamen Rider show finished. This was a very different ride than I was expecting from this. The Kamen Rider Club special and amazing. I have to say the best part of this show from start to finish was Gentarou; his energy and power of friendship was just so powerful and magnetic you just ended up loving this guy and his quest. The other thing that it just wasn't that he wanted to become friends with everyone, it's that he believed in friendship with all his heart. I mean he gets so upset when anyone would cast it aside or not believe in it that it like hurt him and I think that was one of the best parts of Gentarou. Ryuusei was something else I went from why do we even need this guy to this guy is kick ass and awesome. The big similarity I think with him and Gentarou is that they both believe in friendship; I mean from the beginning he was doing everything he could to save his friend and even went so far to kill Fourze to do it. He did change for the better after that and learning how wrong he was but still I think he was very interesting as he was being something he wasn't in the beginning to actually being who he truly was in front of the KRC. He was determined, confident, believed in both hope and friendship, and a very intelligent fighter. Both Gentarou and Ryuusei were both skilled fighters, Ryuusei more in actual martial arts and Gentarou is more improvisational but still had great moves it was a delight to watch both these guys kick ass. Kengo was fantastic starting off very shy and shut off from people to caring about his friends, I think he had one of the best stories here especially about learning what he is and his whole secret back story. He really cared about these people and knew how much they meant to him. Yuki was a whole lot of fun and one of the best parts of the KRC with how she always said Space Kitaaa with Gentarou with her Space puppet but also with how much she wanted to be an astronaut and always fought for that goal. The other members of the KRC I enjoyed them a lot though Miu and Shun had more in the beginning and then were just kind of there. JK I thought was very important with gathering all the info he did and Tomoko's instinct was key and finding out stuff with Virgo too. Moving past the character study I enjoyed all of the music in it that was very good and one of the best theme songs. The Switches were actually pretty fun to me and one of the more useful gimmicks with how they tied into the story. Loved all of Fourze's forms that were all fun and awesome though Elec States and Cosmic were probably my favorite and Meteor's two forms were kick ass too. The overall story definitely rockets in quality as it goes through each 10 episode block for me, the beginning was eh, the 10's were better, the 20's were good, the 30's were awesome, and the 40's were amazing. I loved the message of friendship from this show and that friends can help you when you are down and that type of bond is important. Also that Fourze ends up beating the final Horoscope and manages to change his mind at the end was also fantastic. Definitely in the top tier of my favorite Kamen Riders which surprises me a lot but it's ending makes up for everything, especially because knowing everything makes somethings make a lot more sense.

Fourze is such a fun ride. I'm glad you enjoyed it, it's my second favorite for a reason!
I'm almost done with Ryuki myself, but I've burnt out on it a bit. I swear I always have this problem with things written by Yasuko Kobayashi. Hopefully the ending will be awesome though.

Anyways, on topic, I just started Blade. So far it's pretty interesting, love the suit designs, and the gimmick. |

Since the Fourze fans (like me!) have been chiming up recently, can someone help me remember if there was an episode where Meteor Storm was riding Machine Meteor Star?

I just finished Ryuki and I don't even know how I feel. On one hand, the characters were enjoyable, the Rider designs were awesome, and it could be quite funny. Not to mention the slaughterfest climax was awesome. On the other hand, quite a few things were never properly explained (like what the Mirror World actually is or how Kanzaki's crazy plan was supposed to work), the character development was all crammed towards the end, and that weird retcon(?) ending. In the end it was a decent but nowhere near perfect season for me, probably a notch or two below Kuuga. I think the most interesting part about it has to be how it clearly had a huge impact on pretty much all the seasons that came after it. Ryuki is quite the trendsetter!
Still the most I've ever enjoyed anything Yasuko Kobayashi wrote though. I swear I WANT to like the things she writes, but it never sits well with me. I'll be checking out the bonus stuff later. The alternate ending to Ryuki sounds interesting. Maybe that's where I got the delusional idea that Ren got killed from. I mean, maybe he did die during the actual show's ending, who the heck knows.

I just watched Fourze's Hyper Battle DVD and we needed more Amazon x Fourze! They are the perfect team!

Drive 22
I'm glad some progress has been made with Chase, but I feel like they kind of dragged it out - there's been a Chase fight almost every episode. Also not a fan of how they just did a recap of the fight instead of actually ending the fight from last episode. I'm excited to see where they go with the character from here.
