Black RX Episode 39: I like that desperation is creeping up on General Jak and the villains that they have to pull out all the stops and work together before they get executed for failing, and to be honest they should be. This group has failed so bad with the death of the Princess and the first group of Immigrants. Intriguing plan to use Shigeru, Reiko, and Joe to try and kill Black RX but not knowing he bleeds really screwed up their plans and destroyed the Demon Guns, which I'll just go with that seeing Black RX bleed made the systems feel like they were complete or they were just able to snap out of it because they saw Kotaro was hurt, either way works for me. I also love the split second transformation into Bio Rider, that was awesome too. I can't wait for Dasmader to get involved it's now time for him to show his moves and it looks exciting.

So far I'm up to episode 15 with Agito. Two things to note:

- This show so far is FANTASTIC. I've watched a lot of Rider series up until now, but it's been so easy for me to marathon this show because it manages to capture my interest right from the first episode. I think the only Rider series to do that thus far have been Gaim and Drive. I love everything; the atmosphere, the designs, the characters, the plot. It's really, really good. A lot of the monsters are legitimately creepy and Gills' mouthplate actually opening and closing really took me by surprise, in a good way.

- Also, FUCK Hojo. And this is coming from somebody who liked both Kusaka and Micchy. I literally lept out of my chair for joy when Hikawa socked him in the jaw.

Be sure to watch the Agito 35.5 Special when you get to it, it has one of the other greatest moments in the series dealing with Hojo. I hate Hojo too and liked Kusaka and Micchy as well.

and to not double post.

Black RX Episode 40: Dasmader shows you how it's done that was the most successful scheme I've seen from anyone at Crisis. Even if it took losing he still got all of Black RX's attack patterns and the knowledge of the King Stone. I still wonder what Dasmader is because he's been killed twice and it hasn't finished him off, so he is definitely intriguing. Kyoko was really helpful in destroying the computer this episode, and Joe and Reiko finding more info about Crisis' plot was good too. I love these four together they definitely make it feel that Kotaro has a team that can help him. I love that the King Stone and the Sun will keep Kotaro alive that makes him really unstoppable and awesome. Final 7 episodes I believe. Can't wait for them. =)

Black RX Episode 41: I always love it when it starts off with the action, and Black RX vs Gatezone was pretty awesome. I enjoyed that they were stopping more of Crisis's plans. Interesting that this monster the 100 Eye Hag was related to Maribaron and captured all four of them. I like that it took team work to free Kotaro who then freed everyone else, I also love the use of both Bio and Robo Rider forms against the Hag too and the throwing the Revolcane at it was awesome too. I am excited that the First 10 Kamen Riders are coming back now, to see their appearance is awesome and that they have been fighting Crisis around the world is awesome too.

Black RX Episode 42: Doomsday Clock, I see the Emperor isn't messing around here, to be fair he should have done this a while ago to kick their asses into high gear. Gedorian's monster really worked well against Black RX too bad Dasmader screwed that up, and I can't believe they all betrayed Gedorian like that, of all the Generals he is the one who A) Didn't colossally fuck up and B) Was the most loyal to General Jak and not looking to move up like Bosgan or work with Dasmader like Gatezone did. So you know what I am glad he tried his hardest to defeat Black RX even though it didn't work because of a brilliant display by Kotaro using his intellect and his Revolcane to do more than just impale an enemy. The Emperor was way too nice in giving them a second chance but they damn well be thankful for Gedorian's loyalty and sacrifice for them. I love the training montage at the end with the 10 Kamen Riders it's getting me so excited to see them. Joe and Reiko are awesome again with helping Kotaro against Crisis and motivating him too.

Black RX Episode 43: Gatezone attacking Black RX after the last fight was a very good idea, I like the aggressiveness of it, honestly they all should have attacked him but you know pride is what is taking them down one by one. Poor Gatezone at least he wasn't betrayed but lost his Captain title in his own pride to destroy RX. The gas idea to destroy the King Stone was a good idea but Kotaro doesn't fight alone and Kyoko, Joe, and Reiko are an amazing help to him. I felt bad for Acrobatter I hope he's okay he took a good hit there. That's two generals down for Kotaro 4 left. I can't wait for the 10 Kamen Riders next episode. =)

Black RX Episode 44: Oh look pride leading to the death of another general, poor Bosgan, if he would have fought with Gran Zairus he might have had a shot. Gran Zairus looks badass and can stop the Revolcane is definitely a secret weapon Crisis needed here. I loved Kotaro meeting the 10 Riders, and seeing them fight was just awesome. Also Kyoko and Joe getting some action in too was awesome as well. Though with 3 of the generals down these guys are weaker than the Golgom Priests and Super-1 Generals, hell Super-1 would have probably loved to fight against these guys, it would have been less of a headache. Can't wait for more 11 Rider action.

Black RX Episode 45: Wow Gran Zairus was powerful, though I loved how Bio Rider went inside of him and destroyed him, it reminded me of Kotaro using their own plan from earlier against them and sort of X destroying King Dark as well so that's awesome. I like the use of the 10 Riders here, I mean they remind me of Nigou and V3 returning in X but a little less used I mean they held off the returning monsters for a while, it would have been nice to get a little more of their own abilities used but still this is Black RX and he's being showcased really nicely here. I'm glad Kyoko, Joe, and Reiko didn't give up hope for Kotaro being alive and they really were upset at the thought of him being dead. I like the show of emotion from everyone here. Though Maribaron is a bitch running from the fight rather than fighting like the other 3. I can't wait to see Jak get his hands dirty in this next episode.

Black RX Episode 46: General Jak getting torn apart but then empowered by the Emperor was interesting, though I definitely feel with what Maribaron saw that Dasmader is actually part of the Emperor but I'll see next episode. That Shigeru and Hitomi's parents died in this episode was dark, I wasn't expecting that and I'm sad because Kotaro and the kids loved them and that General Jak killed them meant he didn't have a shot against an angered Black RX. V3 and Riderman put up a good fight against him, and all the other Riders, Joe, Reiko, Kyoko, and Goro taking down the Chaps was awesome too. General Jak's battle with RX was pretty good, and seeing Shigeru fire the Voltech Shooter was awesome too. Bio Rider was a destructive force yet again. Bio Rider is definitely more of RX's Ultimate Form, while Robo Rider feels more like the Penultimate form. Alright last episode I hope I'm ready for it.

Black RX Episode 47: So Dasmader was Emperor Crisis, now everything becomes more interesting, and that humans caused the Demon World's problems I can see being true but if this Emperor's oppressing policies caused it like he would admit to his problems. Great final episode, everyone got their time to shine in it, with Joe and Kyoko taking out some of the Chaps, the Riders taking out them too. Amazon got a great moment with tracking Kotaro. Maribaron dying from the Emperor was a surprise but her not willing to accept the Emperor trying to convince Black RX to join him was interesting. Great final battle with Black RX vs Dasmader. A great sword fight between them, and then Black RX vs Emperor Crisis was pretty awesome too. The Demon World exploding was wow, I feel bad for the 5 Billion people on it, but there was nothing could be done if they would have died if they made it to Earth too so it was a lose/lose there. Now if Crisis went about nicer ways of communication they could have got the people over here without having to kill everyone on Earth. The final scene with all 11 Riders was really nice, and I like that Kyoko will take care of Shigeru and Hitomi for the time being, Joe going to learn about his past in interesting, Reiko continuing with Photography and Goro with becoming a better Chef is nice too. I like that Kotaro is going off to train to get better and it ends like a lot of the other Showa series do with the Main Rider going off and leaving like he did too.

Overall this ending was a great send off of the Showa Era.

Now overall with this series I have to say it's one of my favorite Showa Era Series, and I find it much better than Black. This show felt a lot more like in the Kamen Rider Universe while Black felt separated, now I love that this definitely feels like a Sequel to Black and combining both shows together as Season 1 and Season 2 I would say makes this incredibly amazing. With Black's ending with him being alone and Black RX's ending with him having so many more people that love him. Also having a smile on his face shows more of a complete victory, Black's ending felt like a hollow victory, but there is a big difference in the shows. I also believe Black RX is an extremely overpowered Rider, if they use his Bio Rider and Robo Rider forms, and his split second transformation changes he could barely be touched. Also that no one in the Crisis army had Power to beat him except for possibly Gran Zairus is kind of sad, no wonder Jak brought back Shadow Moon to fight for them. Still Black RX is a very good show and definitely watch it after Black because 97 Episodes of Kotaro Minami is completely awesome and badass.

Kamen Rider Run All Over the World: This was a badass showing of bringing Black back, and having Black, Black RX, Robo Rider, and Bio Rider fighting side by side with each other. Which was just plain cool. There isn't much to say about this honestly, but I do like how it ended with all going into Black RX showing that all of them are part of the same whole.

ElConvoy · 11-16-2014, 02:42 PM

I´m roughly at the halfwaypoint of Black RX now and I´m really enjoying the show. Dont know what about it I like so much but I am enjoying it alot more than I did Black. I dont wanna say that I find Black RX better but its just something about it that makes it alot easier for me to marathon it.

ElConvoy · 11-20-2014, 09:53 AM

Finished RX yesterday and I had a great time with this show. It was a fun ride and enjoyed almost every episode.

I'm glad you enjoyed it too! I think that is was a little more light-hearted even though it was pretty serious made it easier to watch than Black. Also to be honest more characters to like and hate.

Well I liked the Story in Black alot more since RX really doesnt have one. But I liked the more light hearted nature of RX more since thats more often what I tend to enjoy.

Well to be fair Black's story was stopping Golgom, while Black RX's was stopping Crisis. Though Black had more focus on Kotaro and what was going on, while Black RX had more focus on the supporting characters and the villains.

Well no it wasnt.

The Story in Black is kotaros struggle having a Life forced upon him he never wanted. Coming to terms with the fact that he is no longer human and trying to prevent this from ever happen again while at the same time preparing for the inevitable battle to the death against his own brother.

In RX it was stopping Crisis invasion. RXs story had no real depth and thats completely fine. The show didnt try to be anything more than a fun,light hearted action show.
