I am/was watching Geats, yes! (I'm on a break with it until I finish Saber, 'cause I can't really juggle two shows at once, mentally.)

The Watch Threads were originally just a thing to get me current; I was inevitably going to catch up, and that point arrives with Revice this spring. Any post-Revice shows... we'll see? There'll be a slowdown -- I want to spend the second half of the year reformatting all of the posts TokuNation broke, and then putting them on my own site for safe-keeping -- but I'm interested in spending a few years (!) covering all the Heisei shows I never wrote up, and trying out some other franchises. I can see there being a Rewatches Geats Etc series of threads, but I'll probably give them some distance first. Geats would be... god, maybe 2026? At the earliest?

Long story short, yeah, I watched that lady slap her kid on Geats. I guess this is what happens when you're a Kamen Rider with living parents?

It's a lot like Dangerous Zombie in that it's a pretty safe suit; it still has many of the 'weirder' conventions of the series, but reigned in with a simpler colour scheme and more obvious 'cool' elements that makes it appealing even to people who don't like the series aesthetic as a whole. It's awesome in general to see bulkier suits like this in Rider, and the massive Cloud Strife-ass buster sword for which he's named is SUCH a cool focal point. Just a really solid suit!

It's by far my favorite of the suits I've seen through toy designs. I like the grey/brown/orange color scheme, all the Land stuff: rocks and mud and lava. I like the forward-facing headsword, where it's like a saw. And I love his little turtle shell backpack!
