Blade 28-30

Well, those last two were sure episodes that happened. Garren's Jack form was cool though - I really like the Jack forms, there's something about the slight changes + wings that works for me.

That Missing Ace prequel stuff that's started appearing at the end of each episode is pretty cool too. Although I felt bad for my first reaction being "hey look, it's Diend's creepy brother" :lol

I hope they get faster, I really want to watch Skyrider, Stronger and Akumaizer-3. The first episode of Akumaizer was absolutely fantastic. I wish Super-1 would get finished too. I don't really liked starting series unless they are finished.

You know what, I may have been disappointed with the last 8 episodes of Wizard, but they are no where near as bad as those last 20 episodes to Hibiki. However, don't let me stop you. I did not want to believe anyone else either. Then I ended up entering Character Assassination Town.

What exactly do they do to the characters?

Ryuki 10-12

Zolda is completely awesome, him paying for the little girls surgery and her father possibly being eaten by a monster is also a nice sorta twist. Ren lossing his memory gets us further through the plot and I felt like this was the equivalent of Gaim episode 11 anyone else? Well otherwise a good set of episodes.

Ryuki 13-14

They show the death of the professor, as well as Eri who I believe is Ren's sister. Well the little "twist" with Zolda dying is a plus but didn't last long and we got to see Shinji be affected by the fake death which was pretty nice.

Raia is pretty awesome and I can see him foreshadowing some future events of the show overall pretty food arc.

Finished Kamen Rider J, and have to say that was a really awesome movie. The story was very good, very unique set of powers, and the only Kamen Rider who can grow giant. Awesome Giant Battle in this too. Kouji was an interesting character. Also the thing I learned about the 90's Trio they are all really brutal fighters with head ripping, punching through bodies, impaling people, and ripping objects out of there body and continuing to fight. I love these 3.

I think J had the better story but ZO had the better action honestly. I definitely see how they evolved the storytelling from these 3 to Kuuga and the early Heisei series though.

Also I watched Kamen Rider World which was a nice little short film showcasing ZO and J kicking ass, defeating 5 monsters and Shadow Moon. Also one of my favorite giant fights I've seen too (Shadow Moon vs J).

Also Berry is an awesome sidekick who was very helpful. I wish we got more of the 90's trio but I'm glad they show up from time to time, and hope they can atleast get J's actor back for the Showa vs Heisei Rider movie, I mean he is coming back for the Kyoryuger vs Go-Busters movie so he'd be someone good.

I watched all three movies last year and found them to be anywhere from bad to down right terrible, with J being the worst.

Asumu reverts to being a total spineless wimp whose main job is to sit there and let Kiriya insult him. Akira drops out of Oni training because she remembers she has a vagina. Hibiki becomes almost completely clueless and Ibuki loses all his self-confidence. And, of course, every single character stands around and passively lets Kiriya get away with being a blatant douchebag.

I think Kamen Rider World is a must-see. At least if you ever want to be able to tell J and ZO apart visually.

After about a 6 month hiatus of watching any Kamen Rider, I picked up Wizard again. I was planning to finish Wizard before moving on to Gaim, but last night I was convinced to start Gaim anyway, so i just watched a couple of episodes of Wizard while Gaim was downloading.

The two episodes I watched were each their own, self contained stories, instead of two episode arcs. I liked that. I think they were fairly strong episodes by being the length that was appropriate for the story, rather than trying to pad out both stories to two episodes each.

So I finally met Beast. I'm liking him so far. But I'll probably take a break from Wizard again, at least until I catch up on Gaim.
