[SPLIT LIP]

My thoughts during the first episode of Den-O:

-Trains do not work that way.
-Wow this guy has shitty luck.
-Wait, what was his name? Rotary-can? Slow down, subtitles.
-Is that Nasca?
-Oh wow he's covered in that sand they put in stress balls.
-Ha he just ran over that asphault demon.
-That IS Nasca!
-This poor fellow, he gets bullied and beaten to the point where he's literally scared for his life, then is forced to savagely assault Nasca.
-So what did he do with the coffee cup?
-Den-O looks nakeder than I thought he would.
-So if the visor rolls on a track on his head... how does he see?
-I wonder what happened to Nasca.

I think I like this better than Kabuto since, while a bit silly, it is energetic and feels like it gives a shit about telling a story instead of setting up fight scenes that aren't all that great. Rotary-can is a bit pathetic, but he's just really got bad luck and his first transformation was preceded by some pretty heavy shit. At leats he doesn't literally think he's God's gift to mankind or is the sun.

I'm going to try and find the episode where Gattack shows up, since I love that suit design, and if I can't continue watching Kabuto after he appears, I'm sticking with Den-O. It's not great, but it has my attention, at least.
