[Switchblade]

Watched episodes 26 and 27 of X Rider this morning, still loving it.

Episode 26 is the Starfish Hitler one, for those of you who were wondering. It's actually a really nice costume - probably the best of the King Dark era kaijin so far (although I still vastly prefer the Greco-Roman designs from the first part of the show). I was actually more amused by the crazy hippie scientist, though - at least until it was revealed to just be a disguise.

Episode 27 is a clip show. Not of X itself, but of all the Rider shows up to that point. Aside from a cute framing device it would have been completely forgettable except for one thing: this episode featured the return of Kazami Shiro, Kamen Rider V3. It was really cool seeing him team up with Keisuke, including a nice double henshin scene. It was also nice that his return felt much less random than Hongo and Ichimonji's return in V3.
