So, Just started the first episode of Ryuki today/night. So, I would like to bring you all on a journey with me as once a day I watch a Ryuki Episode and review it, until the very end.
Episode 1: ____________________________________________________________ First off. Oh geeeeze. This did not age well. Though it is an older-ish Rider show, the age of it is really clear, due to it being shot in a digital format prior to HD, thus it comes off as being shot with a standard digital camera. Secondly, Diarhea CG. This isn't anything new for Kamen Rider... but, geeze. I feel bad watching this, just because I have seen... "Better" In the recent shows. However, I feel that this overusage of the CG really kills it for me thus far, just because it is so poorly done. As for the quirk of the char, I do enjoy the whole "I am just minding my own buissness when suddenly BAM I'M A KAMEN RIDER!!!" theme of this and a couple other heisei's after this. Rating: 6/10

On an episode by episode basis, I kinda can't talk much about it if you don't disclose what happened
Maybe spoiler tag it? |

IKOUZE RYUKI!!!!
Episodes 3/4 ___________ It's pretty early on in this show to say I hate it, as most riders take up to episode ten for me to get fed up with it, and then it get amazing... but... so far the Directing/Acting style of Ryuki just do not do it for me, as I am four-ish episodes in and all I know is " Derp i'm a poor reporter, and I turn into a Kamen rider to stop monsters that give me power" I mean obviously there is a little bit more to that, but the supporting cast just isn't given as much love as they should, considering that they are focusing so much on Kido being an idiot that I really can't get into it. Though, it is funny, because it seems in comparison. OOO is really based off of this, as Eiji has a similar personality to Kido, just... different motives. Though, the lack of backstory on... anyone is really just killing it for me thus far. There are a couple other similarties (The teashop, the ringing from a monster) but it's just kinda funny in retrospect. Honestly, I think the best (slash worst) is the fact that you can tell there is alot of commercial endorsement of that 02/04 era products like EMac, and Smartcar, which seeing -that- as the big commercial endorsement today is pretty hilarious. Hopefully the show gets better... they showed some human emotion at the end of four...so there is that. Rating: 4/10

Heh, so Y'know how I said that I would review one episode a day? Yeah... That is not happening. As I have a tendency to marathon shows to high hell... This being said. IKOUZE!
___________________________________________________________________________ Episodes: 5/6 Episode five/six, is the introduction of the show Strike * Vent-ing it's true colors and setting a tone for the show itself (Thus far.) In which in introduces the third rider: Kamen Rider Scissors. A serial killer, who wants nothing more than to feed his precious monster with that of other monsters, people, and riders. Om nom nom. With the introduction of Scissors, it shows what kind of show this really is, in terms of how dark it can be, as well as shows that other riders arn't quite as kind as our favorite douche-bag, Len. Infact it shows that in this series Kamen Rider, really isn't the term for "Our Hero", but more so the species of enemy type, asides from Len who makes it quite clear that as Anti-Hero as he is, he plans to kill Kido at some point. The episodes themselves where decent, it was nice having mild plot added to the introduction... However tame it was. Monster of the week: Kamen Rider Scissors Rating: 9/10 Episodes rating: 7/10 ___________________________________________________________________________ Episodes: 7/8 Speaking of introductions! What does this show need? Another douche? You guessed it, and thus we gain Ace Douchebag, attorney at law. Personally, thus far I have no qualms with the character no matter how "Rich", or "Snobby" as he comes across, because essentially he has the warrior mentality of " I am only doing my job... But the excessive amounts of money helps!" is really well done with me. It's not that he really enjoys his job, but more so he does it because he -is- infact good at it, and it happens to let him live a life of luxury that he clearly wants. As well for introductions, it introduces Oba... God I love this little old lady and her never-wrong intuition. Why? Because, it -is- always wrong... and it gives greeeeaaaat exposition that the show needed. IE "Where does Len go when he isn't riding?", as well as giving some form of home for Kido. Honestly though, I wish they would drop the newspaper shtick, and just have him work at the teashop, OOO style. The monster of the week: My little pony Rating: 7/10 (Really dug the weird...blind thing though) ___________________________________________________________________________ Episode: 9 Do. Ho. Ho. Really? Just... really? I really don't know what to make of this episode... But, I am okay with this, just due to my new macro image inspired by it. But, that is really all I have gained from this episode, as it is really a bit of a filler/IKNOWWHOYOUARE, episode. Episode rating: 8/10 Monsters of the Day: Cloroform user A) Kamen Rider Douche Attorney Bat...Rhino...thing. 2/10

I need to pick this series up again, it's been a couple of months since I last watched it (got distracted by Den-O, Fourze, and Go-Busters), and I think I'm only on 11.
