*Inhale* Okay so...

After a great first episode, we have the typical villain-of-the-week accompanied by family lessons and such, that are admittedly, not as good as previous seasons, but still okay. Not my favorites, but I can live with them. Also, the glorious Genomes! Lion and Brachiosaurus being among my favorites alongside the last season revealed Megalodon.

Now, the story bounces a lot, more lows than high in this stage of the show, mainly because they feel resolved a little too quickly, though maybe not as rushed as Saber's first quarter (yes, I still want to get around to writing that whole Saber essay) but slightly noticeable.

But then, the Daiji/Kagerou arc appears and suddenly, I started to really enjoy Revice. They set up an interesting Two-Face dynamic upon Daiji, who was one of my favorite characters at this stage in the show, but really made the family theme actually interesting.

Heck, FENIX was already pretty neat, so I was certainly interested in the cast there, with Daiji, George (such a fun character), and of course, our boy Hiromi and his beautiful Kamen Rider form, Demons. It's just beautiful. I already like Revi and Vice's design, but I think Demons might take the prize for me, especially his gimmick.

But wait! What about Sakura/Jeanne? She's amazing! Her debut was fantastic, from the whole fight scene she gets, that gorgeous suit, she's definitely a win. A whole trio of Kamen Rider siblings. And then there's Lovekov, an adorable punching bag.

So, the Deadmans... They're a fun bunch. They probably throw the best Cinco de Mayo parties. Also, the three heads are certainly a bunch. Olteca probably being my favorite, more on that later. The actual demon monsters we fight week-to-week, are odd, they're a strange mix of creatures (I think one of them was straight-up TaToBa), probably not my favorite monster designs, save for the three bosses, who actually have good designs.

But anyway! Much like how Saber dealt with the first big boss fairly quick, we march into the Deadmans base very early in the show, however, it didn't feel as rushed, which I appreciate, and the whole raid was a fun one. From the big Villain turnabout to the big boss battle against the bloody base, it was a lot of fun.

Anyway, I know these aren't as interesting as when I follow episode-by-episode (heck, I could just look back on the episode posts I made if I felt like it), but it's the most I feel like doing right now, since I'm busy. But for now...

*Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrracias! Deadomans!" *Horrific grin*
