Hibiki and The Seven Senki: Well I freaking loved this movie; I knew it was thematically like Seven Samurai and well I really enjoy that story and I enjoy Hibiki so I definitely felt that I was going to enjoy this movie. First off the characters were so much fun: I loved the past Ibuki he was great being bored of being a Daimyou and wanting to do more. Todoroki was pretty solid more confidence and I loved when he gave Hibiki back his Oni tools. Kabuki was amazing, going into the movie I knew one of them was going to betray them but I didn't think it was going to be him. I was so convinced he was good that his betrayal was shocking to me. (which also sucked because he had one of the best designs) Though at the end I liked that he had some heart left in him. Kirameki was interesting that he was a coward in the beginning but gained courage by the end and helped kick Makamou butt. Nishiki was hilarious and I enjoy a good thief also that his weapon was a three-section staff that turns into a Triangle was one of the greatest things ever. Touki was interesting (anyone played by Kenji Matsuda is) being a Buddhist monk and a guy with a gong as his weapon was totally awesome. Habataki I loved from the beginning being a family man whose wife wants him to fight and live to return home; also being a flying Oni with a flute weapon made him totally badass. Overall the designs of the new Oni were simply amazing and I am kind of sad they didn't bring them into the show I mean Kabuto handled about 7 riders or so, I'm sure that Hibiki could have done some of that in the show too. Then again I am saddened a lot of Movie Riders aren't used in the series. Still the whole origin of Takeshi is really interesting and feels really connected to the show. Honestly I like both origins of the Armed Saber and this was really cool here but I think that they should have shown us how the 7 Onis in the past should have defeated Orochi but that it connected the past to the present was a nice nod too. Overall probably one of my favorite of the Heisei Era movies up their with the Agito, Faiz, and Kabuto ones. Well after the Hyper Battle DVD, I am finished with Hibiki.

I think I'll start watching Wizard. It looks fun.

Nobody else seems to like it, but I enjoyed it. And I dig the designs a lot.

I like Wizard, too. It took a while to grow on me and it's far from perfect, but I generally had fun watching it and missed it when it was gone.

Blade 6:

Woah! I didn't know Wesker was in this!

It was a pretty good episode, more hinting at Hajime being an Undead, and that wasn't the reason I wasn't expecting for Tachibana's illness.

Okay it took me long enough but now I made time to get through a bit of Showa goodness but watching taking some time to get through Kamen rider ZO and J.

They were both really good films although they both felt a bit rushed but then what could be expected from films that were only 45 minutes in length.

They are both really different films with different themes centered around what with ZO and family and with J and the environment but I prefer ZO over the two in terms of ideas for the story.

They both had really amazing practical effects especially with the Spider Monster in ZO.

I found that the rider of both were a bit on the bland side especially with ZO's rider..... I really can't remember the main guys name, I am not even sure if it was mentioned that or I missed it.

Well either way outside of my ramblings they were both enjoyable films and glad to take my time to watch them, now to get back to properly starting hibiki and get back to Kuuga.

ZO didn't get a name in his story. His character consists of slamming into monsters on a motorcycle, and continuing to do that until it dies

Yeah ZO didn't really have much going for him, so unfortunately he currently takes the roles of blandest kamen rider for me at the moment.

on topic things.

Watched through the Drive and Gaim crossover, it was just a fantastic movie second to the Megamax movie.

Also even though I was meant to do this earlier but now I am going to start this properly watched the first two episode of Hibiki and in which I watched the first episode a long while back to plan my series watch through and of Hibiki, I do enjoy it so far but I can see how Hibiki is quite different than other rider series.

I really like Hibiki and Asumu characters at moment, haven't seen enough of the other character to form opinions of them.

The editing of Hibiki is something I feel I will need to get used as it is different, not entirely sure the best way of defining it.

Either way looking forward to the rest of Hibiki.

Hibiki was a very special and unique series for the first 30 series. And then they fired everyone, got Toshiki Inoue to write the rest and screwed everything up. It's a pity, really, but I think Toei and Bandai learned greatly from that.
Especially because Hibiki's problem were the toy sales, not the ratings. And that's not because the toys weren't written well in the show- they were just not fun enough for kids to play with.

I hear a lot of opinions on whether which part of hibiki is better or worse or not, I will just have to see how it goes from this point on since it seems fine so far.

Although I like some of the ones I like are not the best rated so I will have to see how Hibiki goes.
