[Enchilada645]

Some compliments to this episode I have to say is that I really love our new monster design?

Like making humans become Magia in a sense with our new monster type, the Raider, is really cool. Except they become very pseudo-rider esque compared to the Magia since like... it's very obvious the legs on Mr. Buffalo are very familiar repainted legs. Also interesting how the buckle is at an angle... feel like I've seen that somewhere before...

Oh and I will say I do like the whole Humagear succumbing to malice because people suck aspect. I thought that was a neat way at evolving the conflict.

Other than that I mean, it's a good set of episodes... I just wish this arc was more than this set of episodes? This is really all I can say without spoiling but um, I'll explain more when we're like deeper in. Like I get what this arc sets out to do and it has some genuinely good moments in it... stay tuned for a couple of episodes later where I hope you talk about a certain scene I really liked. But um... watching this from week to week certainly wears on you after a while. And that's something I need to stress whenever I talk about my distaste for like, the basic structure of how this arc in its entirety goes. Solid setup, really good ending, nice moments... just I don't like the presentation for the most part.

Also hey if you like the drama aspects and the fights don't resonate much then don't worry, that was seemingly the only thing on their minds to where if I recall, they felt it was a chore trying to put fights into the episodes! And I get that like the human side is part of Tokusatsu and I love a lot of out of suit moments, but like... if you can't fit in the cool costumes and monsters easily or naturally... what's the point?

You've definitely got it good being able to partially binge this by watching it daily, I tell you what.
