Haha, you're right. It completely slipped my mind. I tend to forget texts blocked by spoiler tags. All I remember about it was someone (Mesnick) mentioning the fact that no one had reviewed the last 2 side contents. It was talked about in less than 10 posts in the general thread that I completely forgot about it.

, but go off about how we must all hate it and it was stupid or whatever.

About being good faith or not, honestly, people do can think they're in the right for expressing a take they deem to be problematic/bad. Not talking about here, but even worse cases; this is why harassment in fandom is so frequent, they don't see it as "harassment" but as "heroics"; something like eath threats are just them blowing off steam and not something that could send somebody struggling over the edge. They deem these non-good faith approaches and actions as "okay" or at the very least a necessary evil that they "must" carry out. They can exaggerate a creator's behavior online or their art in order to paint them as in the right for "standing up to the big, bad showrunner."

But at the same time, is this so wrong in our time of Internet development, when dirt comes out much earlier than before? That is, Kotetsu Toys Japan Secret Base has a video where he talks about how disappointed he was after learning about the machinations of the Super-1 actor. But this is already an adult, formed person. How hard would something like this hit a child? Or is it really necessary to condone all the chaos that happens during the filming of Revice? The creation of tokusatsu, and superheroics in general, provides many bonuses for those working in these genres.
Cliche, invented technical techniques, not particularly demanding requirements for acting (there was a complaint recently, but, as time has shown, it was over), easy popularity, the possibility of long-term cooperation. At a minimum, good moral character is the minimum price to pay for such advantages.
The same applies to the ideas embedded in the show. If a hero does evil, it should be condemned or have a good reason. When most of the positive characters refuse to save an innocent girl, there must be a good reason for this. And this should not be confused with the character's flaws, which are necessary to make him alive and the plot exciting. Gentaro is the dumbest rider, but no one has a problem with it because the show doesn't make a virtue out of it. In Geats, even those moments where the hero can be scolded and his actions are really harmful may be justified by one of the viewers. And such ambiguity might be suitable for adult projects (although, ironically, those that exist are quite straightforward), but it would clearly be harmful to the target audience.

I think I actually stopped on watching the second half of Hibiki ending on episode 34 and never really went back.

Currently, I decided to start watching Kamen Rider Decade instead.

You made the right call.

[Mesnick]

I watched "We are class 3-G". An excellent special, perhaps not my favorite, but clearly one of them. Compared to the similar “Murder Case” from Faiz’s, "Class 3-G" looks much more advantageous. This is mainly due to the fact that the humor is based on the characters and their interactions, and not on astronomy and puns that you have to pause the video to understand. Also, the idea of ​​an alternative reality and new images brings its own charm. Sabimaru and his dolls made me laugh every second. And romance lovers will be pleased. At the end they left a hint of the possibility of a continuation and I will be very happy if it happens. Overall, I recommend it to all fans of school detective stories and comedies.

I am now 10 or 11 episodes into Decade in which this series's own secondary Rider makes his first official appearance.

[GuardianAngel87]

As of yesterday, I inexplicably started rewatching Kamen Rider Kuuga via my copy of Shout Factory’s Blu-Ray release. The day before that, I watched Kamen Rider Hibiki & The Seven Senki movie and right now, I started to watch Saraba Kamen Rider Den-O: Final Countdown in preparation for having to eventually watch the sort of crossover movie between Den-O and Decade that takes place after the latter show's World of Den-O two-parter.

Did you know that there was a Live Show that served as a crossover between Ghost and Blade?

Because I sure as heck didn't until Bereke Scrubs dropped subs for it today!

And I was pleasantly surprised by it! I found the writing to actually be really good. The way the settings of both shows get tied into eachother is actually pretty clever, and the character writing and interactions were on point the entire time.

I actually found this half hour show to be a much better tribute/epilogue to Blade than what the Zi-O episodes were. Watching this was a ton of fun to the point that I wish it were treated as canon. If you like Blade and/or Ghost, I highly recommend checking it out.

Thanks, I'm off to download. In general, I have a feeling that in the last quarter of Heisei, the franchise was overcome with strong nostalgia for the first quarter. Most likely because those who grew up watching these shows grew up enough to act in them themselves.
