Faiz 27.

This shows disregard for geographical continuity is almost as bad as Power Rangers. Honestly the disconnect between time and place is so distracting, it's distracting. Characters appear to teleport around the city, and at times it's so muddled I swear scenes are played out of order.

Sometimes I wonder why I even watch this show, when I realise I've watched twenty seven episodes of it already.

And accompanied by a very good soundtrack.

And one of the best main riders ever.

You heard it here first folks. Something that is distracting is distracting Who would have thunk it?

Lol! What a fail on my part, I meant to write 'so distracting, it's disorientating'.

To keep the spoilers out let's just say despite being set in Tokyo, apparently the only people who live there are the ten or so members of the cast. It's hard to articulate without sounding like I'm just talking about a problem in every show, but like if you have a one second scene of a Rider driving down a road there is at least a sense of time and place moving.

In this show it's just 'send help' as a text and then the characters are just immediately there with not even a second of screen time passing. There is no travelling scene, no moment of establishing or context, they just appear like they teleported. And that is if we're lucky, Laundry's ability to somehow stumble on every Orphenoch attack ever in the city whenever he goes on his delivery round is contrived to ridiculous levels.

And THAT isn't even mentioning the amount of episodes that wrap up with an Orphenoch and a Rider just being THERE without any context at all, in some random location that is never established.

Like I say, it gets so bad at times trying to work out where everyone is and how people get to and from places that I'm pretty sure the editors cant keep up and end up showing scenes out of order.

Wizard 7-9 of Wizard were pretty good, got to see more of Haruto's background, as well as Dragon form.

And OMG Phoenix is so strong and has a pretty good design.

I had no idea the Dragon Forms came that early into the show! Flame Dragon was such a wasted opportunity, and it's all downhill from here, formwise. At least until All Dragon, but that is a surprise for later...

Santa Gaim! Santa Gaaiim! We all love Santa Gaim!

It was a pretty good episode, and they showed off Zangetsu's henshin which was neat.
