Faiz 19.
I feel bad for poor Chaco. Also it's amazing how quickly I went back to enjoying the show once Kusaka fucked off. I know it won't last but I'll savor it while it does. edit: oh, and Kamen Rider 94. This little Shocker Rider arc was pretty cool, sort of wish they could have kept it going a bit longer, maybe to the very end, but oh well.

Black 1-5:
Kotaro is a very endearing main character, 5 episodes in and I already think he's significantly more interesting than Shiro, not to mention very sweet. I also like how stylish this show is, I'm getting Kuuga vibes in that sense. I think I'm gonna have a fun time. Loved the random satanic goat cult in episode 5 too.

Kamen Rider 98.
I have reached the end at long last. I don't know whether I'm happier just to have one more show under my belt or because I never have to watch XIG subs again. I wasn't the biggest fan of this show after I watched the first 43 episodes back in 2015 (time sure flies). But I feel like my opinion on it cooled with time. I still don't think it's that great and it had a lot of the same issues that bothered me about the first part, but eh. Wasn't all that bad either. The ending was...something? Something. Perhaps the most anticlimactic finish to a Rider I've seen. Shocker Rider arc would have been a cool place to wrap things up, honestly. The ending was just weak comparatively. So that just leaves two Showa series to watch. I'll get to V3 and Black RX in due time. For now, I'll be switching gears to some more Sentai alongside Faiz. Should be fun.

What's wrong with XIG subs?

Nothing that makes them unwatchable, I suppose, but I'm really not a fan of his translations. They're extremely stiff and often overly literal, and worst of all, boring and formulaic to an irritating degree. It's sort of like TV-N, but without leaving Japanese terms in (though I'd say he goes a unnecessarily far on the opposite direction on some occasions, like translating kendo as fencing). Though I honestly prefer TV-N. At least they've been trying lately.
Worst of all is the way he used to translate familial terms. If someone called Takeshi "Takeshi-niichan" (and someone usually did) that'd be translated as "Brother Takeshi." Same with girls, who'd get turned into "Sister So-and-so." Made it sound like all these characters were in some sort of religious order. I mean, he really should have realized something was wrong with his approach once he released an episode with a line that went "What a weird uncle," but it took until he released the last..20 or so?..episodes of the original show to correct this. His v2s are probably better on the whole, but at this point I just can't be bothered. And this. I still consider this unacceptable: Quote:
What else...oh yeah, he also tended to sub grade schoolers using words like "bastard!" and the like. Usually I really don't care about profanity but at some point you're just being an idiot. But regardless, again, they're not exactly awful or unwatchable or anything, they get the job done, but if I had to do things over I probably would have just saved myself the headaches over stylistic choices and watched these shows raw. |

So I've decided to go with Hibiki for my next watch. I can already tell Hibiki is gonna be one of my favorite primary Riders. He's the type of lovable, laid back character that I love so much.

And he's one of those subbers that doesn't release scripts to protect the "integrity" of his releases or whatever, so I couldn't even fix these peeves of mine by altering those, which was my inclination.

Black 6-10:
So many good episodes in this bunch, but my favorites were "Tokyo nearly gets destroyed by the population's shitty taste in jewelry" and "Kotaro gets owned by a bunch of violinists". This show manages to be very entertaining on an episode by episode basis.

I'm currently watching Ex-aid right now. Also finished GoRider, which was very cool!
