[Blade Raider]

This has been a good year for Toku. The year began strong with Gokaiger's and Garo's finales. However, most of my year has been spent exploring the past Kamen Riders and Super Sentais. Here's just a few moments I can think of:

Gokaiger: I gave 35 reasons why the finale was awesome back in the episode thread. There's not much else I can say about it other than it was a very strong finale that most Sentais and Kamen Riders I've seen just don't pull off.


Garo: There's a moment in many shows (animes more than others) where the final battle is set up and the heroes are hopelessly outnumbered. The only thing to do is summon all your CGI horses, load some JAM Project, and ROCK. Makai Senki had many great moments in it, but I didn't rewind and rewatch any of them nearly as much as that battle charge.


Past Rider: Agito. All of it. This is my favorite Kamen Rider series and I do not believe any Rider show will be able to top it. The pacing and tone are close to perfect. However, if I had to pick one single moment, it's when Shouichi punchs the Overload of Darkness with no powers and an assist of Hikawa's BFG.


Past Sentai: I saw all of Jetman and I'm still working on Zyuranger. I enjoy them both a great deal, but the best moment of past Sentai belongs to the only epsiode of Fiveman I've seen. It's episode 4. It may be the most hilarious thing I have ever seen in all toku.

Other: I've enjoyed the debates I've had with you guys. Some of you know how to hold your ground, that's for sure. I think the tournament debates were probably the best because everyone got in on those. Nothing like an evenly sided debate to make a good tournament match.
