Funny how this episode of Kiva where the gumball Fangire died PERFECTLY illustrates how the body-a-day mentality of older rider shows doesn't hold up, and why Gaim's is handled so well. that was a good storyline, but the way gumball died was really impersonal and minor, like nobody really got broken up. Wataru seemed concerned rather than distraught. He seemed more like he just wanted more lessons.

Meanwhile Gaim has Kouta pouring his heart over someone he doesn't even like, but has such respect for life and concern for others, something Kiva doesn't really have.

Also, "fist on" is fucking moronic. Who thought that was a good catchphrase?

The problem with the IXA Belt is that he speaks english the way the japanese write it...and yeah it doesnt sound very good.

Agito 25: A Great mid point of the series. I absolutely love Shouichi with Hikawa and Hojo it was funny how he talks to both of them and the hilarity with his magic tricks, and Hojo's reaction to learning who Shouichi is. Hikawa got to be G3-X again because of Hojo's magic trick fiasco and thanks to Shouichi. Great to see him actually able to control it and take down the Unknown. I'm glad Ozawa got the advice to help Hikawa be able to use the G3-X system however I don't know if she put that chip in or not. Gills vs Agito Round 2 was very cool, Gills definitely has it out for him but I know this is not the end of this Rivalry yet. Also cool to see Shouichi use the G3-X so easily and great to see 2 Unknown's destroyed in 1 episode as well. Glad that Ryou kicked Shouichi's memories into place, I really like how one technically helped the other to help the other in a weird triangle this episode. Shouichi helped Hikawa become G3-X again who then lead Ryou to Agito who then attack Agito and knocks Shouichi's memories into place. Very productive episode and I see a lot of what I liked in Faiz and Blade in this series too.

Contining on Hibiki

Hibiki 21-23

Nice set of episodes. We get the three main riders working together to destroy the Makamou's new monster combination. We've got more character development for Asumu on helping out Hibiki by taking care of that elderly woman he knows and him into achieving the position he wanted in his school band. The summer Makamou are....creepily cheerful about devouring people.

Interesting to see how Hibiki trains. Understandably it looks like he works pretty hard at it, given how confident he is in the effectiveness of training. Todoroki...not so confident. Even if he isn't skilled in drums, he should still give it a shot! And uh...do I see the hint of a new form for Hibiki? Can't wait for that!

^yay, someone else making their way through Hibiki.

Gonna be fun to do kinda as Switchblade did and sit on the other side as you follow through the show.

Maybe he saw Transformers: Headmasters? :lol

Rewatched Gaim 13 because the Meteorsubz one that JEFusion linked to was so shitty.

Gaim 14

Wow. Sigurd is a badass....

Also Goodbye Hase, you Eiji Hino lookalike...... we hardly knew ye

Kamen Rider Gaim 13

Oren's an asshole. So is Takatora. All the adults are assholes :lol Is what I learned from this show so far. I feel so horrible for hase though, so bad. His best friend leaves him, he loses the belt, his team abandons him.. You just wanna give him a hug.

Don't feel bad for Hase. Things could still totally turn around for him. :thumb:

They don't.
