[Dormamu]

This episode was beautiful. I just have no possible other description for it. The betrayal that we knew in some sense was going to happen through Parad was so well done that Kuroto's end is harder to take than Kujo's.

Maximum Mighty gives me a case of the Gurren Laganns, which is not bad, but it's a seriously bulky form. What really makes it though is Emu's ability to control M is increasing. That and Hiro addressing Emu how he does. It's a total broment and I love it.

Not to run too many comparisons, but this series is on my top five with good reason. It's not the theme of video games, but the tone of the series, and the overall mantra of the Riders. They're doctors who are dedicated to helping their patients, and in finding out what makes a good doctor, the concept of a doctors control over life and death is shaping Emu to identify that he doesn't have that control in the end. Gaim was almost too heavy handed in this nature. W and Blade were more definitive about it. I will always contend to people I tell about Kamen Rider series that even though they're marketed as kids shows, they're very dark in a way.
