thanks. I just looked them up and found 1-36 and the movie.
I checked the TV-Nihon ones I have (episode 37) and it doesn't look as bad as the first 5 have looked, so I guess they got better towards the end of the series. Thank you though, 1-5 has really been pretty painful to watch, so I appreciate it. |

watching a few more Hibiki episodes tonight. It is much better and easier to watch and enjoy now that I can clearly see what's happening.
Thanks again! |

I just watched a few Ex-Aid things to celebrate finishing all my finals, namely the True Ending movie, and all 3 of the Another Ending movies. I was under the impression that the True Ending movie took place before the final episode of Ex-Aid, but nope, it took place afterwards. Honestly though I found all 4 of the things I watched to merely be okay. True ending movie was nice and self-contained for the most part, just a bit of dumb fun, but the Another Ending things felt like they were kind of shoehorning character development in to fit their broader "Dan is lose again" plot. It just felt really odd.
Seeing Dan naked made it worth it though, that was an experience.

Overall I'm not quite sure how I feel about Another Ending. I loved True Ending quite a bit and think it really lived up to the name, but here? There's a lot of stuff I liked for sure, but by the end I was just kind of left with the feeling that not much really happened. I get that The Game Is Forever and all, but, like, how many of these are we going to get? The series proper and the movie both ended on notes that left room for more while also feeling totally definitive, whereas, without spoiling anything, Genm vs. Lazer feels a lot more like merely the end of a chapter. I don't know, I'm probably sounding a lot more harsh than I mean to be. Ex-Aid is the s*** and between making sense of the ending to the Snipe miniseries (さすが高橋さん) and causing me to actually to "get" Kuroto for once, I'm impressed by at least as much stuff as I am not impressed. And hey, if nothing else, they remembered to get one of these in there: Seriously, this is beyond coincidence at this point. The poor guy can NOT catch a break.

I finished Kamen Rider Black RX. It was... disappointing
Like, I didn’t hate it, but I got extremely bored by it. There are some real gems scattered throughout its runtime but most of it is filler, in the worst way possible: So many stories we have seen before, so many flat characters, so much wasted potential. If you look at what you have on paper, you could make something amazing out of it. But they didn't. It's just more of the same, with only a few episodes showing off what could have been, and ultimately the whole show feels like a giant waste. And that's only if you ignore that it is the sequel of Kamen Rider Black. If you don’t... this show won’t do anything for you. I wanted to like it, I took so much time to wait after I finished Black to ensure I wasn’t biased, and I think I wasn't, but Black Rx was still an underwhelming experience. Which is sad, because as I said, the foundation is there, they just don’t do anything special with it. It's the weakest Showa-series I've watched, it's far from the overall worst Rider-series I've seen but it isn't anywhere near the top either. I don’t know if I would recommend it, it's worth checking out for sure but I see no real value in watching it in its entirety. There's just too much boring episodes which you've already seen in multiple other Rider shows in some way or another. All-in-all: Not a very good show.

Not going to argue with any of that. Black RX is a seriously mixed bag. I think it did eventually manage to find its footing and on the rare occasion when it did longer story arcs (demon princess, the finale) it was actually pretty good. It did have some tonal problems, though, especially at the start. I don't think it's the weakest Showa series, though, but that's largely because I don't care much for Skyrider and Super-1. I will definitely agree that it's a good thing that Kamen Rider went in a very different direction when it came back with Kuuga. I don't think modern Rider would be nearly as interesting if it was another 18 years of evil organizations kidnapping scientists' children.

Finally getting back to watching W. Enjoying it a lot more once i hits the late 20s. The mystery of the week and the main plot intertwine a lot better, instead of the randomly cutting to show the viewer what's going on with the Sonozakis. Shroud and Museum and Foundation X showing up next episode are making quite an interesting mystery now. That, and Shotaro, Phillip, Akiko and Ryu are still fantastic characters. Even Akiko isn't as annoying as she used to be

Akiko is adorable. Not sure why so many seem to dislike her.
That show totally won me over from 'fan of the Showa era' to 'fan of the Neo-Heisei era'. |
