[Androzani84]

Well thanks to someone on kissasian deciding to branch out (and a random video in my recommended selection on YouTube) I’ve been on a final stage kick lately.

Drive: The plot in this is fairly straightforward, with a few great gags, such as Shinnosuke bridal-carrying Gou and Otta doing Stronger’s speech. But it gets bogged down slightly by a painfully obvious mystery (hmm, who could this Roidmude who mentions time a lot and sounds like Black RX’s bestie possibly be?)

Zi-O: This one I got more of a kick out of. The idea of Another Ohma Zi-O being created from Showa Ridewatches is just inspired. And the Another Riders that hold the watches are smart choices (except for the bizarre decision to use Drive instead of Faiz, especially since there’s nothing that necessitates it has to be Drive and the other 6 are the numerical equivalents to the watches they hold [eg: Hibiki has Amazon]). And really you could probably remove Zonjis and Zamonas without changing much. But still, a pretty good show. And the idea of the alternate Tsukuyomi and Red Woz is a good one, even if it’s just part of Hiryuu’s manipulations.

Ghost: I’m not going to lie, his is probably the best of the here I’ve seen. The gags, such as Makoto’s crush on his sister and Onari getting victimised by a knee to the nuts are just on point. And since it’s technically a new villain, nothing that happened at the end of the show need be undone. And then there’s the idea that Takeru is going to get married, or at least father a child. Boy, that rubbed someone I follow on Twitter the wrong way.
