Agito Episode 3
This is what happens when you make your suit powered by batteries.

So does Shouchi black out when he turns into Agito? If so that's quite the different route to take with it. Though it could end up getting weird later on. I don't know, I guess I'll just have to see where it goes.

I have to agree with what's his name here. If they can easily make the G3 suits, why not just mass produce them for that unit? They can have a small little squad/army of G3s that fight the Unknown similar to the Riotroopers and Zectroopers. It makes sense from the viewpoint of a force trying to win a fight against enemies that they need all the firepower then can get their hands on or create.

That does bring up a good point. Why did Agito attack Hikawa?

So Houjo is just bitter that Hikawa got picked for G3 instead of him? Well that would certainly explain the rivalry.

First the bodies are in trees and now they're in dirt. Man the Unknown really have a weird way of disposing the bodies.

And thus the police continue to actually work on this like an actual case. They're doing everything you would see a detective do on a case in a show like Law and Order, CSI, and all of that jazz. Once again it's very nice to see the police actually do something then just sit around while our buggy hero does all of the work.

Shouchi does bring up a point. How does somebody with amnesia live? They can't remember anything about their past, so it does make it hard to think about how they'll live in the future. I'm quite curious to know if this mindset will play a fairly nice role within the series, as well as help develop Shouchi.

Thank God this family has Shouchi

It's a bottle with a coin in it. How is that a big deal?

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwww

Why do I get the feeling that when this puzzle opens up, these guys are going to appear?



Well it seems that Shouchi has found a real challenge in the strength of his opponents. This should be interesting, especially since it's looking like this may be a two parter.

The fuck are those things?

Well with the third episode down, I'm getting closer to completing the first five and having to pass judgement if I'll continue to watch or not. So how was this episode? Meh.

Whereas the first two had very little story but still had a small little something to hook the viewer's interest, this one I found to not really have one at all. Nothing really stood out as a story and the whole episode just seemed like random parts of a day stitched together. Because of that, it's easy to know that I'm going to say that the episode doesn't really add anything to the main plot. So as far as the story element goes, this episode pretty much failed.

There was a bit of character development though, which is always welcome. It was mostly restricted to seeing Hojou get a little friendlier towards Hikawa, and Shouchi as a whole. We saw that Shouchi does have doubts about what he should do in life, which makes sense for the reasons I stated earlier. It is a little odd that he suddenly became happy again, but going by what he said, I'd assume realizing you have a spot somewhere would in fact make anyone happy, even if it's the spot of a maid. So while the episode lacked story, it definitely had some character development, and some pretty nice CD at that.

Unfortunately that's the only aspect the episode accels at regarding the main three. The action was once again pretty dull and unimpressive. It was too short and didn't really amount to anything. I know I sound like I'm being rough, but action does play a good part in Kamen Rider. And considering the other Rider show I'm watching (Kabuto) has phenomenal action, and I recently finished up a series (555) with equally impressive action means that I'm going to expect just a bit more in the action aspects. So far Agito doesn't have me impressed, and this episode had the worst so far.

So episode three while it had me entertained (the family failing at their chores is bloody hilarious), it isn't that great of an episode. It doesn't have a story, it had pretty bad action, and while it had some nice character development, that isn't enough to deem the episode good as well as carry it. Things aren't looking good for Agito.
