Data 5: Death of the Guyver

Believe it or not, that screencap is of the only cool thing in this episode.

This episode is where I threw up my hands and gave up any pretense of the story being any sort of enjoyable for me.

Like, imagine if, in Dragon Ball Z, right after Goku went Super Saiyan, Frieza just shot him and killed him with a Death Beam. No effort. No cool fight. No emotional pay off. That's what happens in the climax of this episode.

The rest of the episode doesn't even at all matter. It's just more showcasing of how Chronos is all invasive ala Shocker from Kamen Rider. And I guess the cast learns that Agito, the student council president, is a bad guy, I guess. Not that it amounts to much of anything.

Speaking of Agito, when it comes to the dub, I am convinced that the studio outright forgot to turn the actor's' mic on when recording his lines, because the dude's' volume is so much lower than everyone else's' that it makes very, very hard to understand at times. Bad acting is one thing. Bad audio quality is whole 'nother ball game.

I'm so glad there's only one episode left. Any longer and I honestly would probably drop the show. If Sho's no longer around, I don't really have any reason to stick around, given he's the only thing I like in all of this. I swear, if Tetsuro becomes the next Guyver...
