I don't care for Rx all that much, but I'm planning to watch it subbed next year, so maybe my viewpoint will change. My biggest issue was how out of character Kotaro became from Black. It's like Rx was written to be a different character, but then they decided to cash in on Black's success and keep Kurata.

Just finished RX.
Don't have a lot of time so I'll just say I really enjoyed the show as a whole, and these last episodes were mostly great. Still, can't help but feel it fumbled the ending a bit. Not just because of the unnecessary addition of the 10 Riders, but just...the more things they show about the Demon World the more confused the show feels. There's a lot of contradictions and things that don't really add up--amd unfortunate elements like its destruction at the very end that just feel improperly addressed. It's not enough to ruin the show or anything, but yeah. Also Dasmader fucking sucks and the Emperor was kinda underwhelming. Feels like Kotaro had more trouble with Gran Zairus. It's disappointing because otherwise the villains are by far RX's strongest point. Jark and his four captains really made the show. Also up to 46 of Kabuto. Goodnight sweet dunce. |

Finished Kabuto on my commute.
For a show I didn't really care all that much about, I thought the last handful of episodes were pretty strong and I found the finale satisfying. I don't have much else to say about it besides that. One thing that did confuse me is Dark Kabuto. I'd seen people say that he didn't make sense, but honestly I thought it was pretty straightforward. Definitely a misused and honestly unnecessary character, though. Also, honestly pretty surprised that Kageyama actually became kind of sympathetic after becoming Punch Hopper? It was pretty surprising. Like, I hated the fucker on account of him being just the worst character. But once he turns into a dumb loser (which he was all along don't get me wrong, but you know what I mean. The Hopper stuff is just the dumbest) he becomes a lot less hateable. The end was actually pretty impactful for something I knew would happen and that involved one of my least favorite characters. So that's something. Still gotta watch God Speed Love. I'll get to it. But yeah. I still think the series is mostly just dumb shit happening because dumb people do dumb things. But I'd let it slide by with a shaky 6/10 for at least having a decent enough finish. Anyway. Having finished these two series today, I only have 7 left to watch: V3, Hibiki, Den-O, Decade, W, OOO, and Fourze. 8 counting Dragon Knight. I had some plans regarding the order in which I was gonna be watching them, but Heisei Generations Final has thrown those plans out the window. I want to actually be familiar with the returning characters when that becomes available to watch, so I'm gonna sort of mad-rush through the remaining Heisei series I have to the best of my abilities. I intended to watch V3 soon, but I guess it can wait until the end. Should be starting Hibiki soon. I'm looking forward to approximately 60% of it. |

Friends of mine and I are now watching Wizard. We're loving it. Magic's pretty cool. So are the fights and suits.
Told both my friends that Wizard's predictable, but everything else is good. Also said that "the cast is like Ex-Aid's in the beginning" (being extremely bland).... But that you have to "read between the lines to get the juicy stuff". Also watching Drive on my own time, and I'm 14 episodes in. Also loving it. Love the cars, love the suits, love the plot- GAH there's so much love! Planning on Ghost next and no one can tell me otherwise! Friendship ghosts for life!

I didn't have an issue with Wizard at first, but then the second half happened and it ended up having the most pointless characters out of any Kamen Rider series.

Watched Kamen Rider SD earlier. I guess that's definitely something that exists.
Also got done watching ZO just a bit ago. It was okay, I think. Definitely well realized from a technical point of view, the practical effects and suits and everything were certainly impressive. Everything else was serviceable enough. The movie was shorter than I was expecting, didn't really give it enough time to be too fleshed out in any area. Still, an enjoyable watch. edit: Just watched God Speed Love. Remarkably good movie. Much better than I was expecting it to be. I really, really enjoyed it. Some aspects were the dumb Rider movie fare that usually really annoys me, and annoy me it did, to a certain degree. A little fuzzy in the actually making complete sense department. But character stuff was really on point. Everything with Tendou, Kagami and Hiyori was really well executed, imo. Makes me think it's a bit of a shame Hiyori and Kagami weren't much of a thing in the real timeline--would have made the ending a little happier. But it's still fine. Easily one of my favorite Rider movies. Last edited by barnstenchfartface; 10-19-2017 at 02:31 AM.. |

SkyRider Episode 33: RiderMan and SkyRider were amazing together. I loved them kicking ass together, also the Rider Moonsault was another deadly finisher. I liked seeing them work together. Also, the kid's pet saving his life was cute and awesome. NeoShocker continues to be assholes who need to pay and I just love how the Kamen Riders deliver justice to them. I can't wait for more.

I watched four episodes of Hibiki.
So, yeah. I'm dropping Hibiki. The only available subs for the series as a whole are TV-Nihon's, and while I'm generally kinda lax on the TVN hate, their work on Hibiki is some truly unspeakably horrid, unwatchable garbage. And the thing is, I'm not omnipotent. I can not watch that which is unwatchable. So I'll have to put it on hold. Hopefully the scrubber currently working on the series actually delivers, because in spite of the bad words adorning the bottom of the screen, I was enjoying the show. (and that ending theme is really good). I really want to watch it. This is a pretty problematic result though, not at all what I'd hoped for. Like I mentioned earlier I really want to get through all the Heisei series as soon as I can, and I can't do that without first watching Hibiki and Den-O. Hibiki is already a bust, which leaves only Den-O...and I've been led to believe TV-N's Den-O isn't much better at all. The scrub project for it is much closer to completion, though, from the look of things. So hopefully that drops sometime soon and I can watch that in the meantime. But that's still thinking in the future. Until then...I guess I'll just watch V3? This really wasn't how I wanted things to end up. Rip my stupid plans. |
