[GoldenXtreme]

I've finished up with Black RX while in a cabin without wi-fi, and although still not back home, I am somewhere where my phone can actually connect properly and just had to share the fact that I LOVED IT. I'd rank it right below Gaim for me personally. I really have a hard time believing that this show has a bad reputation, it was certainly more light than Black in a lot of ways, but it was a far cry from something like Den-O. I'm still shocked they actually killed Shigeru and Hitomi's parents at the end there. It was fun seeing Kotaro again, and I thought they handled his character well, and it was cool seeing him get himself some allies to join the fight against Crisis with him, which was a nice progression from Kotaro of Black trying to take everything on himself. On that note, Crisis was almost as delightful to watch as the Sonozakis from W, especially as they got driven more and more into a corner by Kotaro's signature ability to wildly stumble on evil plans and overreact to mundane things. I wasn't even bothered by Shadow Moon reappearing, I was expecting something much worse, but it was just a simple redemption before he died again. Really the only big issue I had was Kotaro casually blowing up a planet of 5 billion people at the end there, but as a whole it was just super fun and my new favorite Showa show (sorry Amazon)!
