On ep 7 of Hibiki. It's good but there's just something about it that doesn't make me wanna keep watching for more.

Also have all the OOO movies left to watch except Mega Max.

Yeah, Fourze's plot really slows to a crawl after Meteor shows up. I'd love to say that it quickly recovers and things start moving at normal speed again, but that never really happens. The show keeps running slowly until around the mid to late 30s, at which point it remembered that it had shit to do and rushes through the last half dozen Horoscopes really fast. It's not a bad show, but the pacing really is terrible.

I'm on episode 24 of Agito. G3-X looks badass. Can't wait until Shouichi, Hikawa and Ryo find out about each other.

And Hojo is still a dick.

Just finished Movie War 2010. I skipped the Decade portion since I haven't seen Decade.

What I liked:

Kamen Rider Skull, this guy is badass both in human and rider form. No wonder Shotaro took inspiration to him after he died. Sexy black compound eyes and smooth fighting moves.

The Plot of the Double portion. It was pretty decent and was very self relent on its universe on how they brought skull back( At least until the end). It really played to every important character's emotions and drove the plot along pretty well. It even had minor doses of Akiko, less of the most annoying character.

What I disliked:

How Double and Decade found each other. Seriously, that was stupid. Double was chasing after his monster and he coincidentally ran into Decade.

Decade splitting Double in half for 10 seconds. This seriously pissed me off. How did decade have a card for this specific Rider who's world we presume we have never encountered before this movie? I know they make a little nod to the cameo about the cameo in the other movie about how Decade and Double know each other but still. It was also completely pointless to create 2 new rider forms just to make a three rider kick.

Alternate Skull. Now I know that the potential of having characters that become alternate experienced heroes is cool and all but this one made no sense. He just shows up as a card, does nothing important to Shotaro and Phillip and just vanishes into the sea of worlds.

Skull getting half assed equipment. He doesn't get a unique belt or gun, just a Double driver with one half ripped off and a repainted Trigger magnum. What would have been cool if his belt was a crystal skull, he sticked the memory on top ala Accel and when he put it in the lights would flash through the eyes.

Pro tip: never expect logic from a movie featuring Decade.

[SpeedDemon]

Or even a movie where Decade just appears as a cameo.

[Blade Raider]

Or anything with Decade in it period.

I'm at episode 27 of Agito. Man Ryo really gets beat up in this series. I think he should stop looking for people from the Akatsuki-gou. And Ozawa can down beers like a beast.

Just finished X. Of the four Showa series I've seen all the way through - V3, X, Amazon, and Black - it's probably my second favorite. Keisuke is awesome, Tachibana is still great, the supporting girls (Chiko and Mako) are actually really fun, there are great enemies, and the action is top notch. One of the parts that was really cool was that the last ten or so episodes are part of an ongoing storyline about X and GOD competing to find components of the blueprint for a doomsday weapon. It lacks Apollo Geist, but it's still a good storyline and it sees several episodes with V3 and a couple with Rider 2.

The HK subs weren't great, but they worked well enough to be able to follow what was going on. I definitely want to see this get a proper sub someday, though. It really doesn't deserve to be as overlooked as it is.

I'm on episode 21 of Kabuto. I'm digging the series. It's really well done and I actually really like Tendou. My wife hates Kamishiro, lol. Then again, she loves Tendou and anyone who tries to out-Tendou Tendou should die in her opinion.

I also watched Super Hero Taisen. It wasn't as bad as I had been led to believe. A lot of people mention that it has characters acting out of character but I didn't notice this. Maybe they are talking about DiEnd? I haven't watched much of Decade so I wouldn't know. The action was good and it was overall a pretty decent film.
