Only a year away from ripening.

... Listen, I don't know what laws you have in the UK considering maturity and what not. I live in America and go by America's older then 18 rule.

Or are you just saying that because you in your youth would think she's hot?

Ozawa is quite the drunkard isn't she?

One of the many reasons I love her. :D

Sixteen is legal in the UK, but as I'm pushing 23, 16 is still way too young for me.

It's become another reason for me to like her as well. That and her sarcasm/bluntness.

Hibiki 02. That fast cutting gag isn't as funny as it thinks it is.

Thank you.

Although thanks to the combination of Hibiki's style choices and TVNs utter disregard for quality encodes or sources mean I can barely see what is happening, the Hibiki powers are really cool and Hibiki himself seems pretty awesome also.

The way it can be cut, and bleeds, the way the helmet opens up like a monsters jaw to unleash purple flames. Even the garish, unusual colour scheme appeals to me as it's presented on a suit which finds the perfect balance between simplistic and busy and is made from materials that just have a much nicer look and texture than most Rider materials. The druming until they blow up thing is kinda weird though, but in a mostly good way.

Wait, Locke's watching Hibiki? Awww yeah. Gonna enjoy this. Hibiki really, excuse the pun, resonated with me. And I've grown to appreciate it more over time since I finished it. It's a shame issues with production had an impact on the latter half of the season, but I don't feel it completely ruined the show. I'd have loved to see where it was originally meant to go, but I still feel some of the season's strongest moments came later on.

Found where I left off on Faiz, episode 7. Gonna do a quick bit of recapping the previous episodes (I just really don't want to start over hahaha) and continue.

And trying to make sure I recall the main cast so far..

Yuka-Faiz, I recall him being a bit of a ninny about hot things. Doesn't have a dream, or at least won't admit to one right now. Is annoyed at those that do (everyone).

Mira-Chick that hangs out with Faiz and the Keitaro, wants to be a hairdresser

Keitaro-He's the one that was e-dating the girl that became an orphenoc, probably our secondary rider, he wants to help everyone.

Yuji-Horse orphenoc, is still having trouble embracing it.

Yuka-Swan(?) orphenoc, girl that had a bad home life, was e-dating the Keitaro

Kaido-Our third main orphenoc

Smart Brain Girl (think it's Sister?)-Dat hottie that's working with the new orphenocs

I know I said I wasn't going to do episode by episode recaps anymore, for the time being, but just watched episodes 7 and 8 of Faiz and I wanted to quickly comment as I felt they warranted mention.

I felt they were actually rather beautiful episodes, it helped to develop Kaido as a character quite nicely, I really liked seeing Yuka grow a bit and take on this sorta "defender of dreams" aspect, and the fight scenes juxtaposed with the guitar playing was really well shot and having that guitar play during the fighting was just..well, beautiful.

And I have to say, at least at this point, the orphenocs are some of the best villains we've had in the franchise, at least out of what I've seen. They're getting some great characterization and development and..honestly I kinda feel for them.

Are Fourze and Wizard worth my time to watch? Finishing up Faiz and then moving onto Blade, dunno where to go after that though...
