Episode 4 of Amazon.

I thought Shocker Sounds (TM) were bad, but that's got nothing on Gedon Sounds (c). So terrible. Especially the Akajuusha. They're like these awful tone deaf banshees. This thing 70's rider had going on where every villain had to have some obnoxious sound is just. Utterly reprehensible.

Other than that the show is pretty good though. Good protagonist, decent supporting cast, ok bad guys I guess. The Jungler is an awesome bike.

I think Amazon is learning japanese a bit too quick, but I guess it's necessary for the plot to move along properly.

I really like the ending theme. Lot of charm to it.

God damn, things are really getting intense in OOO currently up to episode 37 with just a handful of episodes left to go.

The fact that Gotou finally transforms into Birth...a moment that they've been building up since first time we see him and with how far his character's come since then I think it's definietly well earned....I might've cheered a little.

It was great seeing Uva's plan backfire on him, karma's a bitch eh?

Stronger Episode 14: Wow a villain dies and the show suddenly changes here. I love General Shadow right now, he reminds me of Heart from Drive right now, a bit more of an honorable villain. I like that he doesn't like what Black Satan's doing and just here to fight Stronger. Even him back talking the leader of Black Satan is great, General Shadow is something else and that's awesome. This is much better than Kamen Rider Black when I was a huge Birugenia fan which made me not care about Shadow Moon; I am a huge Titan fan and General Shadow is just very different and they both have different motivations on why they are fighting Stronger so it makes a huge difference between the two of them. Oh yeah there are other characters besides General Shadow in this show lol. Well this is probably the biggest highlight was Tackle actually saving Shigeru for once which was pretty cool. Shigeru is his typical badass, heroic self with defeating the Black Satan soldiers not transformed and just his overall battles with both General Shadow and MechaGorilla were both amazing. I loved the exchange between General Shadow and Shigeru with General Shadow just letting him go after he picked the Joker card; I like that he has his own code and stick by it. This should be a fun showdown between Stronger and General Shadow. Also I love General Shadow's cards he uses and his rapier, his face is a bit weird but overall I love this villain a lot right now. Need to see more but he definitely has the potential to be up there with Birugenia, The Crisis Crew and Apollo Geist for Showa villains. Overall I continue to love Shigeru's intelligence, skill, heroism, crazyness, and caring nature. He is a fantastic character and this show is awesome right now. I can't wait for more.

Kuuga 23.
Something about aches. Mhmm.
Anyway, the mantis Grongi enters a rail and marks everyone with a specific scent. She then proceeds to go about killing everyone marked by decapitation. That's rough. Pretty interested in how this will go, because Sawatori was there, too.

Kuuga doesn't seem to have any issues while fighting her, but the aches may be getting to him.

Kamen Rider 18 - 21

A wonderful set of episodes. The cast is really growing into a nice unit and even Michi, Yuri and Mari are getting more likeable each episode. Even though they are no replacement for Ruriko. I also liked how they further developed Ichimonjis character and how he differs from Hongo. Hes not just a more cheery person all around but especially the way he handles his fate as a Kamen Rider is completely different. While Hongo was afraid of his new abilities and tried to exile himself so he wouldnt someday hurt those he loved, Hayato is doing the exact opposite. Hes trying to embrace what little humanity is left in him and living his life with his friends who give him the strength to go on and fight Shocker.

Episodes 20 and 21 where hands down the best episodes of the show so far. They had a great plot, the action was outstanding for that time and it was full of suspense.

Amazon, episode 8

The longer this show goes the more evident it becomes that the design of the Ten Faced Demon's costume is actually incredibly shitty. Which is bizarre, because, although a bit unimaginative, the suits in Amazon have actually been pretty high quality. Yet the most important monster just looks like crap. It is what it is.

Anyway, show's still good. The sister has full on stopped being annoying, Amazon's interactions with others are growing. Good stuff, all around. Gedon sounds still suck though.

I really like the Mole Beastman. Good character. Figuarts when.

I love the Ten Faced Demon. It's such a weird and utterly unique design.

Same. It's just a shame he doesn't do more.

[barnstenchfartface]

The design is good enough on paper, but the dude on top (i think his name is Gorgos or something?) just looks terrible. The costume isn't anywhere near as polished and good looking as the Beastmen or Amazon. That head really looks like it belongs more in the original series than in Amazon.

Anyway, it seems I spoke too soon about Ritsuko. She's back to being annoying in episode 9. I'd like to think after this one she'll be more reasonable, but it might be expecting too much.

On the other hand, I'm really liking the Mole Beastman more and more with every episode.

Oh no, part of the appeal is just how ridiculous it looks. It's a bunch of dudes crammed inside of a giant papier-mache head with another guy in a goofy mask poking out of the top. It is so stupid that it circles around again and becomes amazing.
