Also! Zolda arrives! He's kind of cool looking. May have to buy him, too. I have no willpower.

Zolda is by far my favorite rider out of every single season I've watched. Amazing character. But I've gushed about him more than enough on here.

And the figuart is amazing, probably my favorite of the ones I own. Part of that is my love of the character, part of that is how good the base Ryuki body is, and the other part is I love all the weapons he comes with and he just looks so badass in just about any pose I put him in.

Agito: Project G4: Well this was one of the best movies I've seen from Kamen Rider so far. Glad it wasn't a parallel universe story like Faiz and Blade. Interesting storyline and that Risa girl in this was a total crazy bitch that I'm glad she got what was coming to her. Just really showed me more of what I like from Shouichi, Hikawa and Ryou. Loved the Fight scenes with the theme song playing in the background with Shining Agito and Exceed Gills. Also great to see the cameo by Hiroshi Fujioka (Kamen Rider Ichigou) and his small scene with Ozawa, Shouichi, and Hikawa was great. This movie helped enhance what Agito is about really. Well I have the two specials left and then I'll be off to figure out my next series.

Black Episode 2
Awww look at the little grasshopper. So cute.

So all of those famous people showed up for Kotaro and Nobuhko's birthday party? Why? Is the family famous? Are they spies of Golgom? Seriously why would all of these celebrities just show up at their party?

I bet I know what Kotaro is thinking. "Man I am never washing this hand again!"

Yup, they work for Golgom.

Coming soon from Alfred Hitchcock: The Grasshoppers!

Huh, Kyoko looks kinda familiar. She reminds me of Ako from Jetman facially and with how her hair looks. I did a quick Google/Wiki search but it turns out it isn't her. The resemblance though is a bit uncanny. Of course it could just be me noticing how much they look a like and I'm a crazy person for thinking so.

Wait, he can just do that? He can just up and leave and put a teenage girl in charge of his pawn shop? I don't know anything about Japan's child labor laws, but isn't this the sort of thing that could get you in trouble in other places in the world such as here in America? Besides she has no experience in business, sales, or just running a shop period. I guess he included it as part of the agreement of Kyoko living there but forgot to tell Kotaro. Gotta read the fine print man.

Oh I guess it's a cafe. Kinda does look like a pawn shop though.

Why would you want to be turned into mutants. They just said some humans will stay around, so it's slightly safe to assume they'd keep you. If the only reason they want to become a mutant is so that they can live for fifty thousand years, that's a pretty lame reason. Yeah you get to live for nearly forever, but these aliens seem like they know magic. Why not just ask for them to grant you the ability to live that long, but do it in a spell that lets them keep their human bodies?

Damn those bugs work fast.

Another bad ass looking monster. It looks like it's from a demonic version of Cats. Man if this is going to be the continuing quality of monsters in Black, I think it may be my favorite series just for how awesome the monsters look. These things but some of the Heisei monsters to shame design wise.

That fight was pretty good, both in the apartment and in the warehouse/bay side portions. Not as much back and forth as the one from episode 1 though, as the cat monster basically kicked Black's ass until the end of the episode. But overall it was nice. Really dug the part in the staircase where the two were jumping around like maniacs. That looked bloody cool.

Well episode 2 was another great episode. It wasn't as good as episode 1, in fact this episode was half of episode 1. So it didn't really offer anything that new story wise outside of showing more of the events leading up to Kotaro and Nobuhiko's surgery.

The acting was good, the fight scenes as I stated earlier were great, the monster design was epic, the music was good, just all around great. I'm really digging Black so far, obvious considering I've done nothing but praise it so far. I think I've only made one or two big complaints in these first two episodes, where as with Faiz I had more then that in just one episode.

So yeah, Black is awesome.

Yes. Yes, it is.

I'm just starting Ryuki 17. The series has been pretty good and they seem to be hitting all the right notes as far as character archetypes go. Some things (the kidnapping plotline in particular) don't seem to make a tremendous amount of sense and drag on a bit. There is certainly no shortage of scummy characters in this show, that's for sure. I'd like to see more done with the Ride Shooters, it's a shame they only seem to serve as transport for the brief jaunts between the regular world/mirror world. It's a solid show and I'm enjoying it thus far.

Black is awesome, but you'll start to wonder by episode 15 if the show is ever going to go anywhere.

I just watched Ryuki 17 too. And yeah, sometimes things don't make a lot of sense (that kidnapping was bonkers -- but still kind of worked...?), but if you just roll with it without asking too many questions, this show is great.

Episode 18 throws a major new curve ball into the game.

Ryuki 23:

Short and sweet:

Knight Survive is pretty cool but, crap, I liked Tezuka. It sucks to see him go.

[KRFurious1]

Just starting off into the Kamen Rider franchise with Kamen Rider W, 8 eps into it so far, not used to the dynamic of it since I'm so used to Super Sentai, but I love it thus far. The whole detective stuff is old school but it works, looking forward to seeing what more the series can bring. If anyone has any suggestions on which series to watch after please share them! Thanks!

The simplest answer to this would be Kamen Rider OOO

Its the Show that aired directly after Kamen Rider W.
