What are you watching? (Kamen Rider Edition)

I dunno

So I'm 14 episodes into Agito, that's basically 1/4 or 1/3, something like that. Anyway.

So far the show has been largely unlike what I'm used to from Inoue's writing - which is to say, I love what he does on Agito... mostly - the mystery stuff enters obnoxious levels of "ASK ME WHAT IT MEEEANS" but that's always the way with older Heisei Rider shows.

But yeah - the drama and miscommunication is all evenly placed, the peaceful slice-of-life moments are fun, the humor is actually funny and doesn't feel stale. What HAPPENED between this and Faiz that caused Inoue to become so different? (Apologies if you like his work, lol I'm awful about ripping into him)

Started Decade a few days ago. It's alright so far.

OOO 27 & 28: Man, Date is entertaining during the movie filming. His Tatoba bit cracked me up. All the fourth wall breaking is bizarre, but entertaining. I'm sure I'm missing 99% of all the references.

Well, one thing that's easily overlooked is, apparently all the extras in that 1000th episode special were only there because the kanji in their names could spell out the number 1000? Something unbelievably random along those lines.

Then there was the random Susan Boyle reference which comes out of nowhere. That and the Bob Marley joke at the end of the show were some of the weirdest scenes for me.

Yeah, while I enjoyed the episodes, most of it went right over my head, sadly. The Susan Boyle joke was quite a weird one.

I paused OOO to start to watch Let's Go Kamen Riders in its proper place. I'm glad I didn't really look into the film, because Momotaros (and the rest of the original Den-O gang) were a very pleasant surprise. Of course, I'm only about ten minutes in at this point, but I am indeed loving it.

Malunis · 09-18-2013, 09:48 AM

LGKR for all its little flaws is a pretty fun experience, and I'm always a fan of seeing more Den-O. The fact they're able to get that bunch of actors back, each time, is pretty exciting

Finished ep 19 of Aigito. Intriguing police drama stuff this time, and it did actually throw me off a bit. Agito is shaping up nicely so far, apart from the guy in black and the man whose name is Tsugumi Shou--. They're still obnoxiously mysterious. Bit intriguing, though.

Wizard's over too, ain't it? I was a big supporter of Wizard - without spoilers, my summary of Wizard is that it played itself a bit too safe, but was still fun for me, and the ending couldn't have ended any better for me. I'm quite pleased with it and am looking forward to what Gaim has to offer.

Let's Go is excellent. I really hope you enjoy it!

I watched Episode 13 of 555/Faiz and another really good episode, I am very intrigued with the school and students from Mari's past. Loved Takumi in the tennis court scene and the beginning rivalry with Masato. He's pretty cool as Kaixa so far but we'll see how that goes. I love the weird love angles going on with Kaidou liking Mari, and Keitaro liking Yuka and Yuka liking Kaidou just so weird and funny a bit. Also lots of Trinities in this series right now the 3 main Faiz group, the 3 good Orphenochs, and the 3 kids left from Mari's school. Really loving this series so far.

Watched Kuuga 12 and 13 today too, I loved episode 12 with his old Teacher learning that he has kept his promise about learning 2000 skills and the Thumbs up. Also liked that Yuusuke was training to make sure he could beat Zu-Zain-Da. Loved the scene at the end and the guy who runs the shop's niece is such a fun character. In episode 13 I love when the police actually talk about strategy fighting against the Grongi and not just relying on Kuuga. The guy pretending to be a Grongi is intriguing, the new Fish/Shark Unidentified Life Form is pretty frightening to be honest. Intrigued with what Jean found and I feel bad for all the work that Sakurako as to do. Kuuga has to be one of my top favorite fighters especially one of my favorite main riders along with Wataru (Kiva), Date (Birth), and Kagami(Gatack).
