I think they established last episode that they visit once a year, but work interfered this time.

And it's time to get back into Ryuki. Episode 18 here I come!

Could be, honestly I don't remember these details at all :D

But I wanted him to visit his mother too. I mean the lady almost died, geez.

I see you are watching Ryuki Xros.

Hope you enjoy it, Ryuki is my absolute favourite rider series.

Gaim is good series. Very good series. Mitchy's descent into evil has been one really great arc. I'm on episode 28 now. It's great.

Also, I just. Really really really love the Drivers' transformation announcements. It really makes me want to get some of the DX toys, because they're just so fun. "Fight! Power! Fight! Power! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fi-Fi-Fi-Fi-Fight!" is going to be stuck in my head for the rest of time. Shame the other energy lockseeds don't have anything. But lemon is good. Shame that like everything else Gaim the DX stuff is just way expensive.

Speaking of transformations though, for a while now Gaim has really gone out of its way to not show the crack opening for the armor parts most of the time. I guess it's a budget thing, and I can live with it, but without the crack showing or even the zipping sound it looks like the armors are just falling from nowhere and that's Not Great.

I wish they could at least have had it shown it during Zack's first transformation, but eh.

Oh I love it. :D

I can see why people are in love with this series. This series has very interesting development for their characters and the story just always keeps you on edge.

OOO 33 and 34.

33:

So, we got to see Eiji's friend from high school. I had a feeling that it was his friend who captured Hina, but aside from that...not much happened.

34:

It was nice to see Eiji gain some control over the purple medals, and we got some nice development for Eiji and Ankh's relationship. If I had one major complaint, it would be that there wasn't much closure to the situation with Eiji's friend. Eiji just beat the Yummy, then they all went back to the restaurant. Like, yeah Eiji had the conversation with him on their way to save Ankh, but I wish we got more aside from that.

So episode 17 was just a clip show? Fun...
Well, I watched the new footage in it. All 4 minutes of it.

You will get another one.

These two clip shows are sadly a result of them not knowing how well a serialized show like Kuuga would workout. So they put clip shows before the start of every major arc to catch the viewers up to speed.

Well, it's slightly good to know that a major arc is coming up, at the very least. Perhaps the series will shift from reacting to Grongi attacks to actually telling a story, now.

But it is disappointing that there's another one, too. Clip shows really bore me, especially like this current one. There is no framing device. Kuuga starts fighting a grongi, and then it just begins out of the blue. For a moment I thought the Grongi was speaking perfectly to Kuuga because the narrator just starts talking when the fight starts...
