Finally got around to watching Geiz Majesty. Aside from the vore I genuinely found that to be pretty good. Like... like probably the best V-cinema so far? It's not got a lot of competition, granted, but it's just a solid movie that's a satisfying continuation of Zi-O's ending that, despite our characters learning about their pasts; doesn't invalidate or reverse anything about that ending. Instead it's used as a tool to show them moving on from it and deciding their own future, and damn is it lovely.

Gotta say, also, the use of the returning secondary riders is surprisingly very natural and well thought-out! Introducing them as mentor-esque characters first that arguably could have been filled in by some random one-off before having them be Riders works very well to the movie's advantage and makes it all the more rewarding seeing them come back. Hell, in general it's just very fun to see Accel and Birth beating up suckers and having a lot of agency in the story. Sure, it's weird that Kaixa's alive and Date still has the Birth belt somehow but, like, who cares! I loved seeing Date and Terui getting on with their lives and how they've settled into what they want to do while continuing to live up to their responsibility as Riders when needed.


All in all this is just a very good movie representing some of the best parts of Zi-O. Highly, highly recommend.
