[Switchblade]

Definitely a step up from two weeks ago, but not a huge one. The show is still painfully unfunny and Gou is a total douchebag. I was a little surprised by how nice it was to have the show back, though; I missed these characters over the break more than I thought I would. Shinnosuke and Kiriko, in particular, had some good scenes this week.

As for Kamen Rider Maha's big debut solo battle (why is it not pronunced Maku, exactly?), well it was garbage. The editing was incredibly bad, his powers are monumentally stupid, and it was just him standing there swapping out collectable toy gimmicks while the villains ran around in circles. I can't believe I'm saying this, but it made me miss the DJ Gun close-ups from Gaim. I never thought I'd see something that was even more clunky and obnoxious. Thanks for proving me wrong, I guess.
