So...episodes 27 and 28 of Kiva:

AHA! I knew Maya was Wataru's mom! But...at what point does Otoya marry Maya and what the heck is Bishop doing in Castle Doran? Nago being in 1986 was interesting, though it did remind me why I like Otoya so much (violin case boxing glove :lol) it's also really interesting seeing Maya go from this cold, evil jerk, to taking an interest in humans. She even told Otoya "your hands were not meant to hurt others" So yeah, Maya is a very interesting character. Nago had a bit of growth as well, which was good...he really needed that. They never showed what happened to the artist guy, which was a bit disappointing. Overall though, I really did enjoy this story arc.

Finished watching Fourze the Movie: Everybody, It's Space Time. I enjoyed the series and it was great seeing the cast again after so long... but this movie was just so damn irritating. I don't even know why. I was pushing myself to just stick with it the whole time. Maybe if I had watched it during the series' run, I might have enjoyed it.

The thing that bungles that for me is that they also create Yummies from genuinely greedy people, like the shopaholic. But they never make a destiction between greed and desire, treating them the same.

I mean, greed can be desire, but desire isn't always greed. If they were called something like, uh.... Desironauts or something I would get it. It just seems king of unfair that, say, the desire for justice and wanting to make the world a better place is something a Greeed can capitalise on.

But yeah I quite like the show. Sadly haven't gotten a chance to watch it since I last left off when PuToTyra showed up and defeated his enemies with an awesome gunaxe and bad cgi.

Eh. It's Kamen Rider, what can you do?

Nothing, I was just saying.

I guess that's true. Perhaps it's a convention of the language? That the Japanese don't have a real different between greed and desire? I'm not sure, honestly.

As for bad CGI, after the Tyranno episode in Double, I'm willing to forgive anything :lol

W loved it's bad CGI in the first few eps, boy it did.

Oh man, I totally forgot I downloaded that. I should watch it tonight.

Started watching the Fourze movie. Mikie Hara in latex? Ayumi Kinoshita in a short skirt? My eyes are going to enjoy the hell out of this movie, regardless of whether my brain loves it or hates it. :thumb:

That said, I forgot how much I completely don't miss Yuuki.

Fucking Yuuki, man. :(

Edit: this post has now become "Switchblade live blogs the Fourze movie."

Gentaro wants to befriend an orbital weapons platform. I legitimately forgot how much of a spaz he could be.

Also, I'm willing to bet good money that crazy roller skates dude is the villain.

Okay, that's like the fourth Shun salute in half as many minutes. Please stop it now.

Man, I've missed Ryusei.

Man, I have not missed the Switch gimmick.

Okay, the Switches are still dumb, but seeing them all get busted out like this is still pretty cool. This whole fight scene is really cool.

Hey, it's a competent main Rider!

Man, am I glad they dropped that weird filter on Haruto's voice for his own show.

Dude, it's a space station. It's like a building in space. It won't be your friend. :rolleyes

Yuuki just got shot. As if I needed more reasons to love Mikie Hara.

And the interior of the space station is that big cistern where Takumi fought the Orphenoch King and Ibuki took out the big fish Makamou. At least it's not that one warehouse that they've already used twice in this movie.

Oh, it was Ayumi who was shot. Damn you for getting my hopes up, film. :(

That was a pretty abrupt heel turn.

Followed by a very boobalicious face turn.

Yes, Ohsugi, you're still in the movie. Thank you for wasting a minute of everybody's time.

Seriously, Gentaro, IT'S JUST A FUCKING SPACE STATION!

Shun, if you don't stop doing that I swear I will fly to fictional Japan and cut your damn hand off.

Man, Mikie Hara's eyes are almost as huge as her... hey, it's time for more Meteor!

I should watch more Cutie Honey the Live.

You know, I never notice all of Miu's "Oops"-ing until it's pointed out.

Again with the saluting. I think it's the Mario twinkle sound effect that annoys me so much.

Okay, so it can turn into a big robot. Gentarou is still dumb.

Yes, Gamou, you're still in the movie, too. Thank you.

Paging deus ex machina... Deus ex machina, please report to the Rabbit Hutch...

There is nothing that can't be made better by a Nao Nagasawa cameo.

This whole scene would probably work better if it hadn't been six months since I watched Fourze.

Given how long it's taking to find all these people, this beating Gentaro is getting must be taking like an hour. Ouch.

They're seriously going to show all forty, aren't they?

No. Do not try to make the random Ohsugi's lunch scene be a metaphor. Bad movie. Also, the Fusion States suit is godawful.

I would have been so disappointed if they didn't have Gentarou do the handshake with the giant robot.

We're going to find her corpse buried in Nozoma's backyard, aren't we? :lol

I think I've reached the "filler" portion of OOOs. So far the only noteworthy plot point to have devoloped is that Eiji was able to summon the purple medals of his own will and properly transform instead of them doing it by themselves. I hope this makes way for him gaining complete control.

Also, shock of all shocks, I get to the PuToTyra episodes, get all excited about the upcominG SIC, and HLJ has an order stop.
