Kamen Rider Blade episodes 31-33

I'll save my full thoughts for the LWWs disscussion

Gaim 7

Oh Kota.... I got nothing

Good episode, nothing happened besides showing off watermelon arms. Pierre was less annoyingly flamboyant/creepy this time, which is a plus.

W episodes 33-36

I'm sad Yukie was sort of a one off character but she had a really interesting story and its nice to see a strong female character. She didn't abuse her feminine qualities to get close to everyone too much. The yesterday dopant was interesting in the first part but Yukie herself shines in the second part.

So I think the Weather Dopant might be one of my favorite general villains in Kamen Rider because he's so fucking evil yet so chill about it. I'm glad the fucker got what he deserved, defeat and death. I also like that Shroud, someone who is giving the powers, isn't as good as she seems. Again, we have another look alike story, but I don't think that was a major factor in the story, as the main focus was fear and hope and proving negative emotions aren't the only way to make you stronger.
I think Weather was getting it on with the Taboo Dopant lady and I saw a split in the Sonzaki family.


I'm confused about Accel Trial, is that an upgrade or just an alternate form, becuase if its an upgrade Shroud had a shitty excuse not to give it to him eariler or in the two parter itself.

I really like W again now that I'm back into it. The main characters have such great personality and there's a lot of great female characters too. Actually, since I have 3 more days for this weekend, I think I might as well wrap up watching W the series and some of the movies.

W endgame.

damn, this show was good. While it didn't necessarily have the best overall story until the end, I still enjoyed the show. All of the characters' personalities bounce off of each other really well. When the Terror arc of the story set in I thought Shotaro's actor overdid the fear thing a lot, literally screaming at everything. i liked the family contrast at the end of the series, Shroud being anger and rage, Wakana having to live up to the families duties, Ryuube being the lost man, Saeko being the rebelious child and Phillp/Raito being the the hopeful and positive one. Towards the end of the show, there were more and more 2 parters that related to the Sonozaki family and the Fuuto crisis directly and I liked that.

47 and 48 came out of nowhere though. Some foundation X asshole has the strongest gaia memory for no reason? I don't care how big an investor is, you'd think Ryuube would keep his most powerful possession to himself. I like the wrap up these episodes provide but some random douche from some movie organization is the final villain? The Utopia dopant should have been someone from the Sonozaki family using it as a last resort.

49 was fine. I didn't mind Phillip coming back and Wakana sacrificing herself to bring him back because Wakana was a less likable character to me anyways. Would it have been a better story decision to keep him dead? I guess, but I don't mind.

W movies, here I come!
