Well, that and Yuuki's rapid descent into total madness.

Once again, I guess reactionary, Kuuga's villains motivations were said in an untranslated language right up until the very end, so unknowable villains isn't exactly something new for me. It is still annoying but I had to deal with it once...

Meanwhile I checked out OOO episode four and it's just not clicking for me. Fourze really stands out to me because of its sci-fi focus, rather than fantasy, and the choice to set it in a high school. OOO just feels a lot like Wizard and both OOO and Wizard feel like quirkier, jokier versions of Kuuga.

I'm gonna keep going for a bit, to see if the relationship between Eiji and Ankh smooths out because if that relaxed and stopped feeling so forced I'm sure my enjoyment will improve.

I'm also intrigued to learn more about how all this medal stuff works as welll.

Speaking of Fourze, I'm really enjoying seeing the command centre take shape and feel like a home. Plus I love episode nine's new switch 'Gatling', he had a gatling gun...on his leg...awesome! Plus Fire States is much cooler looking than the electric one.
