Hmm, I might be reading too much into things, but I wonder if KR Majade was on some level an homage to her? A historic first for female riders, with a magical theme, orange crystals on her suit, and a ring that is scanned on her driver to transform... coincidence?

Woah...

I never thought of that!

That makes me like Majade a lot more. I was already a fan of her, but now I need her to meet Mayu.

Wizard and Gotchard crossing over would be my dream. There are way too many parallels with those series. Putting aside the whole alchemy/magic thing, they have a huge emphasis on hope too.

If only... I can dream.

It's probably just a coincidence, but I typed Genm in Cyrillic and got the word путь, what means path.

I don't have the technical knowledge of music to explain these things very well, or indeed, to even realize them that often, but today I happened to notice a really cool touch in ZEZTZ's soundtrack.

The main melody of the big, full-throttle heroic track used for when ZEZTZ finishes off the monster, that kicks in about 16 seconds in...

...is actually also used for the section of one of the more regular action tracks lasting from about 50 to 1:20:

But it's like this slower, dreamlike echo hiding in the background there, which I think is a really cool way to convey musically that difference between being asleep and being awake, where it's actually the latter when ZEZTZ is at full power. I always really liked "Good Morning" for being this rousing anthem that sweeps away the darker/cooler sound of most of the other music used in the show's fights at the end of a story, but I didn't realize until now it's not as disconnected from those other tracks as I assumed. There's probably like a million other things like this going on in the soundtrack, too. These shows are blessed with very talented composers!
