Watched the Blade HBV and Missing Ace.

The HBV was silly fun as they usually are. And man, if Mutsuki had that kind of chemistry around the rest of the cast starting from the halfway point of the show I might've liked his character alot more. But yeah, I overall enjoyed it.

Now, Missing Ace, on the other hand...



(and yes i know that shot is from the show and not the movie hush up)

Okay, so the above reaction image is a bit hyperbolic in terms of my thoughts, but man, Missing Ace had problems.

It's not so much that the movie is meant to be an epilogue to an alternate ending, but moreso that certain aspects of it fly in the face of things that had been established about these characters proper before the last two episodes hit.

I also question how exactly we're supposed to believe there's a language course for Undead speak when both Kamen Riders are Undead were thought to be mere rumors and legends in the show proper. Was it literally to just pad the movie out an extra 3 minutes? Because if so, unnecessary.

What also doesn't help the film overall is just that, well, it unfortunately has to be compared to the show's' ending which was, as I said before, perfect, thus making the entire thing feel really unneeded and wasted potential in terms of us getting an actual epilogue to the show instead. But, overall, I thought the movie was just, alright. Not great, but a decent flick to kill some time with.
