[Ape]

Finished Kamen Rider Drive the other week. Certainly the second half of the show was very strong, it did a bit of a 180 on the whole Roidmude conflict so that Professor Banno could become the main antagonist, which is fine I guess and in hindsight it makes sense why relations between Heart and Shin would mellow, to the point that the "final fight" between the two was really just a heroic sacrifice for Heart. That was pretty powerful in itself.

Chase dying and Gou becoming Mach Chaser would have had more of an impact would have had more of an impact if I didn't already know it was going to happen. Still the final part was pretty awesome, my only real complaint is that Shin's role in the actual finale didn't seem to be that big. He made quick work of Sigma alongside Heart and the final confrontation feeling more game from Gou vs. Banno. Though i guess mixing it up a bit has it's merits.

I watched the Kamen Rider Gaim summer film. It was weird in a way, but I actually like football (I'm from the UK) so I thought I might like this film. It ended off coming as bizarre, with it being an alternate reality where the teams play football against each other. Strangely at times the first part reminded me of the Quidditch match in the first Harry Potter film...

...suffice to say though I think the main series is better than this standalone film which you can tell was written by a different writer (it's been a bit of a while since I last saw Gaim mind).

Not sure what I'll watch next. Given I'm trying to avoid sites like KissAsian and JaToku and don't have a good torrent client I may be limited on what I can actually watch, but I'll see what's around that I might pick up. Maybe OOO.
