A pretty good episode. The roidmude's betrayal was obvious but it was a fun episode. The Door Gun is a good weapon, although I can sympathise with Belt-San regarding Tomari's name choices. And Chase has some self-contemplation to do.
Also fun was Tridoron's bit of the fight. A good use of tire extension with the wrecker and the spike. The scene with Tomari, Kiriko and Hayase was pretty sweet too. That was nice. |

As always I really enjoyed the episode. The plot was fun even when it was pretty predictable how it would turn out in the end. The fights are great as always and I love the way Shinnosuke is holding the Door Gun. I gotta say I felt really sorry for the Roidmude this week. Drive showed no mercy this time
Finally we get some needed devolopment for Chase and I hope this will get better with the next episodes. The way he comes in from nowhere every episode,stops tridoron, fights a bit and then just leaves is getting annoying. |

I know it's been said by others, but I have to echo the sentiment: I hate that we are backsliding into stretched out/filler 2 parters again. This particular case really did not need it. However, was pleasantly surprised by the character development of Chase and Kiriko this time out.

I think the show has a good opportunity to make a turn here (pun intended). Focus on character development and change the formula with it.
For example, an entire episode that focuses on Mashine Chaser. A whole episode where we see the world out of his eyes. He could hunt down a Roidmude, we watch him doing so, but as he does he remembers fragments of his past and tries to find out more about himself. Of course he clashes with Drive, but Drive himself should only be a side-character in this episode. I think an episode like that could work very well, and they need to do something with Mashine Chaser already, just sitting on his bike in the middle of the road waiting for Drive won't work any longer. You have given him a bit of character development now, we all know where this is going eventually, but please make it interesting. If I want anything out of Drive it's that they carry Mashine Chaser until the end and keep him interesting while doing so. And if he does become Mach and they throw this amazing design away before episode 20 I'm done with this show. Last edited by Kiwami; 12-02-2014 at 12:04 PM.. |

The next Episodes will have Chaser team up with Heart to take on Drive and we get the new Roidmude general Medic. Sanjo writes this show much more like Rider since Double usually goes having about 10 Episodes to build up the setting and characters and starting to actually tell the story around the episode 13/14 mark.

^ the pacing was VERY W though. I had some serious hard boiled flashbacks.
I'm sure there are no surprises though with who Chaser is, and his relation to Kiriko. But we'll see how far that goes. Kiriko though is slowly becoming my Candelilla of this season. Honestly, the 2 part format doesn't bother me as much. It gives more time to the fight scenes without removing the actual plot of the story, so it doesn't feel rushed each episode. Plus they're giving more than enough suit changes each story in order to get the maximum value out of the wallet suck...I mean marketing. Door Gun is possibly the cutest Rider weapon ever. My biggest gripe is that every time Shinnosuke needs Mr Belt, he's gotta wait for Trideron to arrive. That's kind of annoying. "Oh wait, hold on bad guy that's trying to slow down time and kill me, I've gotta go get my belt out of the car". "Can you wait another second while I turn the switch on it, then pull out my shift car, and put it on my arm thingy while you patiently wait". It's the curse of henshin - When you need your powers now, we're gonna wait as LONG as possible for you to transform.

Unfortunately, my opinion has not changed from episode 7. I found this to be extremely lackluster, boring, and predictable.
The Door Gun though is Adoorable. Oh, and what is up with the stolen music from W? Last edited by Dr Kain; 12-05-2014 at 09:01 AM.. |
