I'm glad she gets a little more proactive. Lots of KR series I've seen tends to have one guy always behind the desk on a computer, and they tend to stop being relevant around the halfway mark.

Anyway, 14. Godai seems to have his transformations under control, able to change at will. I'm rather glad, since I do love the look of his alternate forms. However, he is not much of a staff fighter, is he? Wow, that was some pretty poor rod work

We see the kid who wants to be a Grongi finally see what death looks like and see just how vicious they really are when he's targeted by the fish.

Anyway, now Ichijou has access to bullets filled with the gas that harms them and Godai seems to be getting in the groove of things. All while the ancient parts discovered rearranged themselves into the what I presume to be Gouram, now jetting towards him.

Stronger Episode 12: Really enjoying the storyline with Titan and the leader of Black Satan as they have sent their strongest Cyborg and it had trouble with Stronger. I like that it shows that there is a connectivity through the episodes and it's more than just an episodic show. I think one of my favorite parts is how they don't explain how Stronger does some of the shit he does. He's done crazy things in past episodes but in this one he just makes it on to the ship, beats the crap out of all the Black Satan grunts, sneaks past the Spider Cyborg to destroy his poison machine. Stronger says he's always one step ahead of Titan but doesn't even explain how lol. It's just hilarious at times and I love how Shigeru does these things and even thinks of these things too. I once again enjoyed Titan vs Stronger's mini battles and believe we are finally reaching the final showdown between them soon as Titan seems to be getting more involved in fighting now. Tachibana and Tackle were pretty fun in this episode and Tackle kicked a lot of grunt butt. I mean I understand that based on how she modified that she wouldn't be powerful enough to beat the big cyborgs but damn that was one hell of a Japanese Rhinoceros Beetle that they gave to Stronger. I also liked the story about someone else having someone they know get taken and modified by Black Satan and trying to spread the word about it. The next episode looks fun with Titan so I can't wait for more.

I'm up to episode 22 of Gaim.

Jeez. So many characters. So many agendas. Though really the Armored Riders that aren't in the main four are all but irrelevant now and that doesn't seem to be changing soon so I guess it's not that many. Still, lots of revelations happening and lots of...stuff. Mitchy is coming along nicely.

Stuff with Hase kind of bothered me though. Mainly the fact that Jonouchi wasn't involved with that at all and he hasn't learned about it since either, I kind of expected something different with him at least. No one but Kouta has really known or cared about it either...(Kaito knew, but really isn't the type to care).

I've been giving Kamen Rider OOO another shot, and I'm definietly liking it a lot more than I did the first time around.

It somehow manages to find a right balance between grim dark and silliness and the characters are pretty memorable, I'm starting to see why Kougami is so popular amongst the fandom.

One thing that is slightly bugging me about the series is how Eiji seems to be completely useless without help or interference from an outside source...because thus far he's won every battle using something that's given to him to bail him out of a jam.

The two episode story arch definietly makes the pacing of this show tough, it's a lot better watching it in chunks I gotta say.

[Matrixbeast]

OOO is one of my favorite series, so I'm glad you're liking it.
As for Eiji, the first quarter has him discovering the potential of his powers, so he kind of fumbles around some. Once he learns how to use the medals perfectly, he becomes a total beast with his powers.

Anyway, Kuuga 15.
The Gouram appears and attaches itself to the TryChaser 2000.

Other events is that a Grongi (Whose animal I can't figure out) is terrorizing people in a truck...Huh. Okay. He has at least 9 kills, so I guess he's doing something right. In a brief moment of understanding, another Grongi is trying to shame him for using a human made item, so I guess they don't like us very much...As always, rose is just kind of standing around.
(Also, an aside from about 2 episodes ago, Rose used her ring to unlock something on another grongi's belt. I don't know if that plays into much, but it is something to mention...)

We also find out that Ichijou's family is the best in the world, his father a super cop who died saving lives and his mother a nurse who works on holidays and all year and etc. Okay.

You have no idea.

She's sort of the leader and the only one who can unlock the belts to allow that Grongi to begin the game.

[Matrixbeast]

Damn, gave in and read the spoiler...
Oh well.
I always assumed she was the leader since no one ever spoke against her (Except that one time). I didn't know how important the belt thing was, though.

[Kiwami]

It's not really that important, it's just a nice little nod to the whole belt thing in Kamen Rider. All the Gurongi wear belts which need to be activated for the game to begin, and most of them break when they are killed. You know at this point that there were two tribes back then, the Linto and the Gurongi, and both used belts: The Gurongi have them and of course Kuuga does.

This will form a nice Yin & Yang in the final end fight, you'll see what I mean once you get there.

Last time I tried watching it, it was right after W so yeah right off the gate I had a lot of biases coming off of an incredible series.

But watching it with more of an open mind, I can definietly see why people consider it among the best I'm enjoying it so far.

Might end up doing the same with Drive after a few years...

Also the blatant apple product placement that started with this show is just hilarious.

[Matrixbeast]

I guess there's just a little too much mystery to Kuuga...Hm, I guess I'll see what you mean eventually
