I'm not seeing any specifics to respond to, though? I guess he talked about "taboo" things in his stories, and people got upset? Without knowing who got upset, and for what reasons, I'm not sure how to respond. I mean, it's art? People have a lot of different reactions?

Not necessarily talking about Blade here, but causing the team trouble because of someone ignoring advices or acting rashly can be source of irk of audience from what I know by fanbase. Not being brought by someone can lessen audience's insistence to bash them. And even if audience is mad to those that doesn't brought up by them, they would blame them as if acts rashly, making up excuses as much as they can to blame someone for something that happened that causes trouble to others (ex: he's too guilible to have that happened to him, it's annoying to have him so stupid and causes troubles to others like this!).
Sure, but the Leangle belt is also an asshole? The story currently seems to suggest that the Leangle belt is just torturing Mutsuki psychologically.

I knew you'd enjoy seeing Ozawa again. Last major returning Agito actor for now, but not the last one ever. You'll have to wait a few seasons for that, though.
So, in addition to advancing Mutsuki's plot and starting to get more into Hajime's origins, this episode also marks a big milestone: this is the first episode of Blade written by Sho Aikawa. Not a name that has gotten tossed out much before, but he's really important to Blade. Blade is the first Heisei era Rider show that had a major change in the writing staff. Shoji Imai was the show's original writer, but he'll be leaving for good in about 5-6 episodes. Aikawa then takes over as the head writer for the rest of the series. Of the three shows with major writing disruption, I've always felt that Blade is the one that suffers the least (if at all). There are some things that I'll talk about as we get more into Aikawa's tenure, but the show never feels like it gets drastically overhauled or that the plot starts going in radically different directions (and I don't pretend those episodes don't exist, like I'll go into in the next Kamen Rider Die watches... thread). In many ways, I think the show actually gets even better once Aikawa fully takes the helm. That's a ways off, still, but it all starts here. |

Why was Aikawa brought on? Did the other guy quit, or get fired?

And a few more guest stars left.
Seems like they made him step down cause honestly this show was Kamen Rider Garren pretty much till 20ish.

I think I saw somewhere (the Wiki, I'd assume) that Mana has the Poppy part on Den-O? I think that's fun, when an actor isn't just brought back a year or two later, when they're fresh in the minds of viewers; but six or so years later, when they might as well be brand-new to the audience watching. It's like Tachibana showing up as the Principal on Fourze, or how Ankh played every single role on Ex-Aid (attribution needed).

Interesting! I'm not sure I'd've caught the difference in styles. It'll be neat to see what the 30s and 40s of this show look like under a different hand.

Well today, I’m going to start things off with a meme.
A scene of Mutsuki screaming to the approaching Mole Undead became a subject for*Kamen Rider Blade MADs. Fusion Eagle An immortal creature that is the ancestor of the eagle and belongs to the Category J of Spade Suit. Using the claws on both arms as a weapon, it attacks enemies with high speed flight and amazing dynamic vision. In addition, a countless number of feather-like shurikens was used for long-distance battles. * Suit: Spade (♠) * Category: Jack (J) * Effect name: FUSION * Card name: Fusion Eagle (フュージョン・イーグル Fūjon Iguru) * Consumption points (Guild Rouse Card): EP +2400 And now for the obligatory Card picture No wait, that’s the wrong one. Screw Mole An Undead with powerful screw punches and drilling abilities. * Suit: Clubs * Category: 3 * Effect Name: SCREW * Card Name: Screw Mole (スクリュー・モール Sukuryū Mōru) * Consumption Points: FP 600 |

Well, leave it to Blade fans to take something little and make it big.
Learning Ondul the Easy WEEEEEEI! (#12) Today's lesson is a fascinating look into Dadi's dietary habits, as it turns out he's extremely fond of Kotarou's terrible pasta. Or at least, Hirose and Kenzaki insist it's bad. Maybe it's fine and Tachibana is just the only one there who isn't a picky eater. And maybe this line, kore kutte mo ii ka na?, once again fails to meet the usual criteria of being slurred and difficult to understand, but that's just the magic of Tachibana. If he says something and it's endearingly funny, then it's Ondul. End of story.

Ah, the But Why Heroism episode. A staple of the franchise, and the place where a creator can really put a stamp on what their Kamen Rider series is saying about heroic fiction. We get to see Mutsuki evolve from a callow teen into Kamen Rider Leangle, and… am I supposed to feel as nervous about this as I do?
Quote:
Mutsuki may not need the credit, but he sure as shit needs the accolades. The smiles and gratitude shouldn’t matter that much to him, shouldn’t be required, but it definitely seems like they were. How would he have felt if the survivors had been less grateful, more scared? Would this epiphany had happened, or would he still feel like it wasn’t worth it?

...a really fun Team Blade dinner, where everyone’s being totally weird. Hirose declares that Kotaro’s only redeeming quality is his cooking. Tachibana eats like a man who’s being timed. Kotaro drinks tea instead of milk, which, CODE RED. It’s a neat little domestic scene, which I’m a fan of.
Random aside observation - does anyone else think Hajime actually got a haircut? Usually no one gets haircuts until filming is Over, as may have been mentioned near the start of this thread. |

Ozawa being in this episode is something I really had to double take on. You know, one of those "Wait-- is that-- no--" moments

Yeah, I've had one of those. I think it was when I learned Barry's dad from CW Flash was THE John Wesley Shipp from the early 90s Flash.
