Mmk thanks guys, will go ahead and just watch them sometime after I finish the series, which at the rate I'm going right now might not be for some time...odd considering this is really fighting to be my favorite Kamen Rider yet, but W and Fourze are giving it a good fight for that title (and there can be only one (favorite) Kamen Rider (series)! haha).

So I finally watched Faiz Lost Paradise. Now that's a good movie. It was dark, it was sad, and it was tragic for the side characters. Loved the Gladiator like final battle with Faiz and Orga and Mari almost ended up as a meal for whatever that monster was supposed to be. Guess my only complaint is that Delta wasn't in there as well as the Lucky Clover Trio. Imagine if it was the premise of the TV Series instead? It would have been cool.

Also watched the Faiz Musical AKA the Hyper Battle Video. It was fun, silly in a good way. Glad that I watched that.

Now that I've finished with Faiz, on to Blade.

Wow, I hated the 555 movie. I did not care for the whole post apocalyptic setting, I thought it was long and drawn out, boring, and predictable. On the other hand, I did like the stuff in the arena towards the end, but that is about it.

I'm not 100% sure, but I think Paradise Lost came out before Delta appeared on the show. At least, that would help explain why it wasn't in the movie - well, that and Delta's overall uselessness at everything. Delta has to be the single most forgettable non-movie Rider in the franchise's history.

Just finished episode 23 of Ryuki.

Tezuka! T_T

Get used to that feel, because it happens a lot. :(

As with W, I will prepare myself for manly tears to be shed.

Also, just got done with episode 26.

And Genocider makes his big debut...in a somewhat lackluster fashion. He just..doesn't really seem nearly as imposing/intimidating as I would have expected, he seems pretty damn small too. I expected him to show up much later in the series as well, he seemed end-game level to me. Guess the show has a lot more in store than I expected.

Manly tears will indeed be shed. The last 2 episodes are gut wrenching, but so so good.

Wait a bit before watching episode 49 after 48, like about a week or so.

You guys getting me all hyped up now haha. Well both of the other seasons I've watched have delivered (well..minus issues I had with the last episodes of both), so I'm sure Ryuki will as well.

Really like the diverse and interesting cast we have here as well. You wouldn't have thought having so many characters would give a chance to have them fleshed out and interesting, but there ya go.

More forgettable than Drake ?

I dunno about you, but after Supreme Make Up, I'm never forgetting Drake :lol

indeed.

I was talking about the Rider particularly, not the character. Who could forget Daisuke :lol

Kamen Rider Kuuga! Starting to wonder what took my so long watching this, after one episode I'm absolutely hooked. I adore Godai. I even love the cheap-lowrent Spider Monster xD Cannot wait to start episode two!

One thing I did learn: Never be a cop in a Kamen Rider universe. You always get your ass kicked, always. Though sometimes you almost die and come back as Ankh!

Yeah, the Grongi are actually pretty basic costumes - most of them tend to look more like people in leather with some animal bits on them. It's an interesting aesthetic choice and really sets them apart from all the other Rider monsters. I can't say they're my favorite designs (that would be Agito's Lords), but they do have a really unique look.

They look cheap. But not in a way that makes you think they didn't care. They walked the line well between cheap-bad and cheap-awesome, I love'm.

Started up Blade again. Watched episodes 9 and 10. Things are starting to get pretty interesting. I agree with most of you that Blade starts out sloooooooooow. But it's starting to pick up now. Anyone else think that high level undead looks a bit like Wesker from Resident Evil? :lol

I don't think they are the best costumes ever, but I do think the Grongi look pretty cool because they are supposed to be from ancient times, so their look fits.

As for being a cop, I would rather be a cop in the Kuuga world because I would be taking my job seriously instead of acting like a complete moron.

You talking about Isaka?
Because he does look like a black haired Wesker :p

I'm not sure if he's been named at this point. Is he the guy who healed Garren and is currently beating the crap out of Blade? If so, then yep! :D

Yeah, that's him :lol
Sorry if I spoiled his name for you.

Haha it doesn't bother me. I'm sure he's been named already. It's just been a few months since I watched episode 8. No biggie!

I'd go with Agito world, myself (which technically is Kuuga world, but whatever). Mostly so I could get myself some bitchin' G3 Mild armor.

Downed Episode 2 of Kuuga. Another great episode on, what absolutely looks like, a shoe-string budget. The Batman though is by far a better design then the Spider.

Sooner or later in Kamen Rider, wouldn't the cops learn their place is crowd control and they should leave the monster fighting to the guys in insect costumes? Or maybe the Riders should learn Breaking and Entering is still a crime. Superhero or not :lol Godai, sneaking into a Church! yer going to hell for that.

The best laugh of the whole series came at the end. "Why am I on your shoulder? ... Worst mistake of my life"

Can't wait for 03!

So this is way out of the blue but I've literally only just realized that the actor who played Yagaruma/TheBee/Kickhopper on Kabuto (Hidenori Tokuyama) is also Go-On Gold. Mind = BLOWN.

It's always awesome to find out stuff like that :lol

Yeah, and he was in something else that for some reason, I cannot think of right now.

It's just crazy man. The 2 characters are so different that I think that's why I never realized it before now. I love both of those shows but just never put 2 & 2 together :lol
He's got acting credits for tons of shows, he's really been all over the place. But aside from being on Kabuto and Go-Onger as main characters it appears he's just a cameo actor in everything else. Though he did have a 10 episode stint on B-Fighter Kabuto.

Up to episode 34 on Ryuki, hopefully will be able to finish it over the weekend. Series keeps getting better and better.

Edit: And up to episode 37.

Just something that has seriously been bothering me for a while now. The police have guns. Asakura is a very dangerous criminal. And despite that, and all the times he has had a gun pulled...they have not just ****ing shot him in the ****ing head and been done with it >_<

Police, y u no authorized deadly force?!?!?!?

Remember this post later.

The Cops in Kuuga seem to have the other problem. They keep firing at these things, even after they see the bullets bounce off and the wounds heal. .. I can only assume Tokyo Police are idiots.

Actually, not really. When a monster is attacking, what should the police do? Start running with the people? They serve as distractions to draw attention away from civilians.
It's a police's job to do what they can to protect.
I just assume they're going by the mantra "Armor is only as strong as it's weakest point" and they keep shooting out of hopes of finding that point.

They should help the people get away, and let the man in the insect armor handle the situation. Always let the man in the insect armor handle the situation.

Finally got started on Blade. Finished the first episode. Not much to go on yet. We're introduced to the two riders, Kenzaki and Tachibana, Blade and Garren respectively. We also met some supporting characters such as the milk loving writer and the girl that survive the attack on BOARD. And it seems Tachibana betrayed BOARD. So there's conflict right there.

Watch out! He's not who you think! He's Libra in disguise!

Libra would be from Fourze am I correct?

Yup. And, if I remember right, the same actor was Libra and Garren.

I haven't reach Fourze yet. I'm watching KR in order and I'm still a long way before I get to Fourze.
