[Gold Ninja Drive]

In all honesty, the finale left me feeling... baffled more than anything. It just felt like I was waiting for it to disappoint me, and it did on some level, but there were more moments of just confusion at what had taken place.

Why was Eyezer's first display of power breaking roofs and turning night to day? "BEHOLD MY POWER! I rotated the Earth 180 degrees on its axis! GAZE UPON ME AND DESPAIR!" Also, why did it just immediately turn into CGI garbage? Really Eyezer/writers? You couldn't have come up with anything other than animation blob?

What was with that Genm cameo? It was cool, I loved every second of possibly-evil-Mumen Rider, but he just showed up, did Specter and Necrom's jobs for them, and left without a word. Probably to get back to the right set. "YEAH, take that Bugster scum!... Wait, this isn't the hospital..."

Why did Takeru just hand wave the fact that the voice was his mother? I mean, it was fairly obvious, but I don't think they ever directly addressed it. It was just *voice* "Mom?". And they couldn't get Ryu's actor do do more than stand there being weirdly menacing? I get the character's probably not even all there, but yeah, go ahead and blank stare your son.

Why did Takeru think it was a good idea to leave the city destroyed? I get what he was saying bUT SERIOUSLY!? OH YEAH, JUST LET THE NORMAL HUMANS CLEAN UP THE MESS WHY DON"T YOU!? *cough*

And then there was the eating thing. I would have really liked the coming back to life scene more if it didn't seem like even the writers forgot that he was dead half the time. It was a great scene too, where he got his body back. Though there was a bit of anxiety where I thought his new body was someone else they would be bringing back to life with him, like Adel or, idk, his parents. It could have happened.

Overall, it left me kind of conflicted. I wanted to like it, but I also wanted to just hate it and move on. Sitting in the middle like this leaves a strange feeling, not loving but not hating. Oh well, at least now I can look forward to Dockta Raida some more.
