I'm finally watching Amazons thanks to Prime. I only bits of it, but never the full thing. I really like it so far. I feel like non toku people would probably enjoy this show. I also recommended it to anime fans who enjoy violent anime like Berserk, Gantz and Devilman: Crybaby too.

Amazons is great, I liked it a lot.
Jin (Alpha) was my favorite character. I like to think he's the main character. |

Also watching Kamen Rider Amazons...er, Amazon Riders, thanks to Prime and I'm enjoying it. It does for KR what RPM did for PR, it feels fresh without losing the feel of watching Kamen Rider. Although, I feel like it's a little try hard edgy at some parts but not enough parts to hamper my enjoyment. I wish the Extermination Team members that died got more screen time so I could feel more for their deaths but it's fine I guess.

I got 34-ish episodes into Kamen Rider Kiva last year and just never finished it, so I'm going back to it now. I actually missed this show a lot, and it feels good to return to it. It's a bit bittersweet though, since I started watching it around this time of year last year, as I was preparing to study in Japan.

Just watched the first two Ex-Aid Another Ending specials (Brave and Snipe, Parad & Poppy). Man, they really did two things, make Dan Kuroto a jerk, and make me want some eye bleach for the last scene in Parad & Poppy's story.

Black RX, Episode 17:
I have now watched the 4-part story that introduces Robo Rider as well as Bio Rider and yeah, this is easily the best the show has been so far. A generally interesting subplot, 2 new awesome Rider-forms, tons of great suits, action and effects as well as new characters. It's great. Not Black-levels of great yet, but still really good. But even though this was good stuff, most of the show really wasn’t so far. It’s just not as good as Black. Although Black did drop in quality later on, the early game was so strong that it kept you invested in the world and its characters, and the show regained strength once Shadow Moon appeared on the stage. With Black RX it’s just filler after filler, some good, most just decent at best, and now one strong mini-arc. I really don’t know how I feel about this show so far. My current impression is that RX seems to be the sequel no one asked for. |

Aside from all the random crap that made this episode enjoyable as hell I really don’t get why they chose a flying squirrel for their monster inspiration. First of all, the monster looks and sounds nothing like a flying squirrel, the suit looks like one of those wacky Gremlin mutants from "The New Batch" and it neighs like a horse. A horse. And then there's the fact that everything this monster does is really vampire-esque, so I don’t get why the monster wasn't simply a bat. That would've made way more sense. But trying to bring reason into this episode is nearly impossible so sure, why not, flying squirrel monster it is. Aside from that, I must say I'm quite glad that Joe the Haze seems to be a regular side character now. I thought they would abandon him like the special ops agent from Black but Joe actually sticks around for now. I like him, the actor makes those really goofy faces but he’s rather likeable, and a sidekick for RX to work with functions much better than the same old monologues.

finished Fourze today along with the Fourze movie.
It was all surprisingly good, I actually liked it all quite a bit more than I expected to. The cone-head thing which I always thought was pretty weird starts to seem pretty normal and make sense (space/rockets) as you watch the show. All the characters were very good and strong and well acted, and I really liked that he had a battle cry to pump himself up for fighting, "IT'S SPACE TIIMMMMEEE!" (and it was adorable when you'd see Yuki in the background mimicking him.) Yuki and her 'Hayabusa Kuun' songs and satellite plushie was kind of adorable. And I liked that it had some classic, "RIDAAAA KEEEK!" (Rider kick) moments that reminded me of Hongo Takeshi from the original Kamen Rider. The way he growled it as he was kicking really reminded me of Hongo a couple times. All in all a good series. I really have to stop being so critical of some of these series based purely off the Rider costumes, before I watch them. I was very critical of Cone-Head Fourze and Rabbit-Face Build, and both series it has turned out are actually very good. |

Black RX, Episode 20.
Short summary of this episode: "An ogre from outer space robs banks with frozen bananas shaped like keys and then tries to kill Kotaro Minami with exploding banana bombs". ... What kind of drugs where these guys on when they wrote this shit? I mean I have seen much crazier stuff already, but bananas? Is there some Japanese fairytale about an ogre who loves bananas or something? I kinda doubt it, but that's about the only explanation I could imagine. It was fun though, not gonna lie. The monster suit was excellent by the way; they had working eyelids on the ogre face which look amazing. Really well done, I'm kinda surprised that this technique isn't used more often. Anyways, fun but dumb episode, entertaining but certainly not amazing. Although, being a Gaim-fan, I can't help but wonder what fate that banana-loving ogre would meet if he ever crossed ways with Kamen Rider Baron. ... And yes, if you ask me that way, this episode certainly was "bananas" |
