How can what I've been disappointed in become a bigger disappointment? Like I said, so far, episodes 21-27 have been the only enjoyable things in this show thus far, so there is no way the remaining 20 episodes can be worse than the first 20 episodes.

BTW, what episodes do the movie take place during?

It doesn't really matter. It's an early Heisei era non-canon AU movie. The movie is directly referenced shortly after the producer switch, though - Hibiki mentions seeing a really cool movie set in the feudal era recently.

Finished Blade Ep 35.
King Form is awesome. I love the card designs all over the suit. ^^
But jeez, this girl deserves a slap. "I have no heroes in my life. Everybody is selfish and thinks for themselves." Just after she explained how her family sacrificed themselves for her and Kenzaki had saved her twice...

Watched CycloneJoker Xtreme's debut last night. Was just as underwhelming as I expected.

Yeah, I kinda hated that bitch. Those two episodes had the stench of Toshiki Inoue all over them.

Is that the episode with the girl that fakes having Terbuculosis to get Kenzaki to feel bad for her?

How about just whelming? I mean, everyone is either overwhelmed or underwhelmed, but never just whelmed.

And how did you figure it was going to be underwhelming? I thought the intro to it was pretty damn cool.

Because I didn't like the look of him to begin with. But I decided I'd go in with an open mind and say "okay, if this is as good as Cosmic States debut was it won't be so bad". But it wasn't anyway close, the design is still horrid and then they didn't really do very much apart from a few slashes, lengthy memory insert and spitting rainbows.

Damn, this girl is just a horrible person. Knows a monster is after Kenzaki in specific? Force him to stick with her by faking a disease. Knows Kenzaki needs to fight the monster? Act as if she can't walk and forces Kenzaki to carry her. When Kenzaki gets an alert and tells her that he needs to go off and save people (Thus being the hero she constantly talked about), she starts bitching over how he won't be her hero. Monster takes her hostage and begins shooting Kenzaki? Bitch at him some more about how he's abandoning her and she has no heroes as Kenzaki gets shot up as he tries to save her.

Part of me wished Trial E would've just turned the gun on her...

See, I love W's design. It is by far the closest design to the Showa riders from all of the new stuff.

BTW, I must be into the new writers of Hibiki because whereas 21-29 were quite enjoyable, I have no idea what the hell just happened. Episode 30 just randomly throws in a new character who thinks Hibiki is his father while 32 just now introduced this trainer that is supposed to be all serious and yet, he is like the whackiest dude in the entire show. Not to mention a feudal version of the Hime and Douji just appeared randomly and for some reason started attacking the white and black dudes. What is going on here? This show has been all serious for 29 episdoes and then has just randomly throwing slapstick in there without a warning. I'm about ready to just turn the damn thing off and skip to the last two episodes because this is ridiculous.

Yep, you're into the new writer era. The show had really good ratings (no show since has matched it), but toy sales were crap and the location shots were eating a lot of money, so Toei canned the writers and producers and replaced them with Toshiki Inoue. From this point on the show basically becomes Faiz Lite and a lot of stuff is changed to make it more "conventional." Kiriya is probably the worst offense, as he's a blatant copy of the inter-character conflict douche that Inoue has been so fond of since Jetman. The new Douji and Hime are terrible, too, and a lot of the characters get their arcs seriously derailed (what happens to Akira is downright offensive). I'd stop now, yeah. For me, episode 29 will always be the series finale.
