Yes, all of that yes. The grandma thing gets my sympathy, by the way. I also deal with something similar. Youtube is for Baltmatrix reviews and random Kamen Rider themes.

I've been watching Aesir's and they have been nothing short of fantastic. Their video quality is also superior to Nihon's, just like OT's was with Wizard.

It's the way TVN encodes their hardsubs. I don't know a lot about how video encoding works, but TVN's methods inherently reduce the resolution. O-T and Aesir don't have that issue with their soft subs.

It has nothing to do with quality, I'm sure they're fantastic. I'm just paranoid about getting another virus on this relic I have to use for a PC.

That sucks, those are a pain in the ass.

Agito 12-I really enjoy where this mystery is going, that there is a lot with that Ship incident that a lot of people were involved in so far. Loved both Shouichi and Ryou trying to save Saeko, and how their viewpoints are different. I am loving Shouichi right now with how he view the world as beautiful. Ryou I love for how he is the darker counter right now. I am so happy Hikawa is back to being G3 again and how he punched Hojo that was a great moment. Intrigued about that end scene that was very mysterious.

I absolutely loved the switching between the fight scenes between Gills and Agito, that was just great. Also I love both their fighting styles so far. I love Gills' bike too.

Can't wait for more.

UPDATE:
As to not triple post and I was the last one who apparently posted I'll just continue here.

Agito 13-14: Both really good episodes focusing a lot of the Mysterious Guy who can magically change Agito's bike into an awesome hoverboard thing. Learned a lot more about Mana's father's murder and that it had something to do with his brother, very intrigued. Great to see Hikawa basically punched some sense into Hojo but I am not looking forward to his Agito capture plan. Ryou really didn't get much focus in these episodes but I hope he gets more soon. Hikawa got a lot of good focus on being a detective with Kouno about Mana's Father's murder. Also great to see him fight better as G3. Shouichi is so much fun I absolutely love him so far, so optimistic and carefree he's like a barrel of sunshine even when faced with death.

Can't wait for more.

Anyone checked out the NDA sub of Blade? I just saw they're up to episode 6 and could always go for better quality Blade.

Are they are a consistent group? I'd happily give Blade a second chance with better quality rips.

Not a clue, they (or to be precise, he) only appeared on the scene recently as an alternative to Aesir's Gaim.

Rewatching Blade with NDA scrubs episode one.

It's kinda weird watching this, knowing where it goes. I made it to episode 12 last time before dropping it, but watching this opening episode again it promises a much better show than what comes later. I dunno, maybe I'll enjoy the show more this second time around.

Seeing Kenzaki smash through walls, seeing all the crazy Rouse powers, enjoy the fight scenes while they last because they'll never look this good again for the whole rest of the show. But sadly, they'll always be that poorly edited. It's kinda like Kuuga in that regard, it kinda felt like Kuuga blew its whole budget in the first two or three episodes.

Although by far my favourite scenes are the ones where the camera wobbles everywhere and you can hear the cameraman's clothes and boots. The shows poor production values crept in earlier than I remember.

Also Amane is a right bitch.

I can't help but notice this episode is called The Thirteenth Rider. Um...we skipped a few, I think.

The monster of the week escaped Ren by literally just splashing him with water. It wasn't even a lot of water.

I liked how they played sinister ass music as the kid spotted Ren leaving the mirror world. Maybe to foreshadow the awful brattyness that looms on the horizon. He's...like a mini-Ren.

So know Kanzaki is lying to Yui to protect her or whatever. But how accurate is his statement that whoever wins the fight will gain power...which will somehow transfer to him and make him invincible? That...doesn't make a whole lot of sense....but I guess Kanzaki can just fuck with the rules whenever he wants anyway.

Shinji please don't tell me you left your deck on the table. Shinji you're not the brightest superhero ever, but please don't tell me you're stupid enough to leave that deck on the table right where that smartass kid can steal it. Goddamit Shinji.

Haha, Gorou really love that recipe Shinji made, huh. Cool of him to try and help get Shinji's deck back too. Seems like he left at the wrong time, though, given how Kitaoka's falling sick again, which is probably what pushed him to go and try and eliminate Ren.

A new rider appears, and hes accompanied by more feathers than Sieg! Apparently, he's the final boss rider. Interesting...And now Reiko's onto the main plot!

Odin reveals that the riders gotta level up to beat him, especially since he has...TIME Vent?! And it fucks with your memories too? That's kinda fucking over powered, ain't it? Oh it Oh boy, this is gonna be a clip show...Well...not entirely, which is good.

So yeah, I kinda skipped most of the clip show bits. And in the end nothing much changed aside from showing how ultra powerful the final rider is so...yeah.
