Yeah, Kuuga's uh, rather crazy. It does lead to the police becoming a bit more involved though since they have to start working with Godai to figure out where he can actually fight and take out enemies.

Just had a chance to watch Agito episodes 18-19 and I have to say I'm incredibly impressed. Not only did those episodes pull a really good bait and switch, but it gave me a little tidbit of wisdom to carry with me too. I really like the motto Hojou's mentor used (and ultimately betrayed) "reject narrow views, use the truth to uncover more truth". Those two episodes really hammer that in and it's due to really good cinematography and writing. Everything leading up to Hanamura's murder was really well crafted, showing Houjou leaving his car at the same time Hanamura was getting on his bike, and going straight into his death at the park had me convinced that Houjou had a grudge against this guy related to his mentor's sister's death. I spent an entire episode waiting for some slipup or for someone to put some pressure on Houjou when he suddenly freaks out at the sandwich. I thought it was going to be one of those tell-tale heart moments but then he goes to examine the evidence and I start to get suspicious. Finally he confronts his mentor and accuses him of murder and I'm ready to call bullshit. No way was he going to shift the blame of this murder on his mentor, just like I assumed he tried to use the current Grongi's M.O. as a cover for his first crime. The whole accusation, showing that Houjou may be an asshole, but he's still a detective made me think a little better about the guy. Just a little though, if I had a .gif of him getting punched into that car I'd loop it as my desktop background. Agito continues to impress and I'll keep chunking out episodes as I get time. I think 2 episodes is usually a complete story following the format used in Kuuga. |

It is a good feeling to see my good friends all watching agito, it is a great series. Unfortunately I have been unable to find gifs of Hojo being punched but there are several more scenes where that happens so you might find one there.

I have returned!
Hibiki Episode 26: Well I just love seeing Hibiki and Asumu together their relationship has grown and it's just fun. Asumu's drum practice was fun and can't wait to hopefully see Hibiki take him on as his pupil; just natural progression right? I haven't seen any spoilers from this show so it will be a surprise to me what happens. It was intriguing to learn about the Summer Makamou and how they work and that why Hibiki is the Summer Savior here; it makes me wonder why can't Ibuki get an evolved form to take them down? I mean I understand Todoroki is a bit new but it's interesting to learn more about. Ibuki had an almost heart crushing moment when Kasumi called him like a little brother, his smile turned very quickly lol. Intrigued to see who he is going after and I enjoy his time with Kasumi and thinking of Asumu as a little brother too. Todoroki was kick ass today, loved his Rider Punch and Kick as his guitar finisher like normal. I felt bad how Hinaka and Hibiki teased him but it was all in good fun between friends. Interesting how their is a White enemy and Black Enemy I wonder why there is two and why they are doing this. Can't wait for more. |

Agito is great however for me nothing tops Ryuki in the heisei era of Kamen rider.
