What are you watching? (Kamen Rider Edition)

Yeah, Birth's gimmick and motif are gashapon capsules, the little prize eggs you can find with inconsequential toys (Or, if you're in Japan, collectable toys, because they caught on like wildfire there). It's not the most spectacular gimmick, but I had not issue with it.

One thing I do like about Birth is how man-made it looks. Of all the artificial Riders, the only other one to encapsulate the feeling that "This was made by human hands" was Agito's G3 armors.

And I wouldn't worry about the OOO Driver's music. It sticks around, but it's downplayed once all the forms have premiered.

Finished Faiz 10-16. Well Kusaka is a dick so far so it's interesting with him being the secondary rider and he's clearly antagonistic towards Takumi. Hojo of Agito is in this series too as an Orphenoc and he's actually cool. His fight with Kaido was great with him just using a book. I'm looking forward to seeing how Faiz and Kaixa work together if they ever, but it seems Kusaka will be an a-hole all series long.

If anything, Kusaka just gets worse as the show goes along. Still, Kaixa as a Rider is really awesome. Love that suit and its gear.

Continuing on with OOO, Birth, while I'm still not into his design, is deffinately a more instantly likable second Rider than Accel. While it took a while to like Accel, I'm already rooting for Birth. (though his dramatic transformation is ruined by the little pop his driver makes)

Also, is that really it for the shark head lady and rhino knuckles? They never even got to see action in their complete forms, and their relationship was kind of interesting. (even after absorbing him she confessed her backwards, almost sarcastic love for him, and she seemed to genuinely care for the big lug and he obviosly was loyal to fish head)

Now it's just smarmy cat face (the cat is smarmy and deceptive? I find that offensive) and bug eyes who's easily the blandest.

Big Lug, Fish Head, Cat Face, and Bug Eyes.

I swear, you should have been the one to come up with the names for the Greeed.

Quick update since he's the reason I got into the show: Tajador is pretty cool. I kinda wish his combo song was more epic instead of trailing off at the end "TAAAA-JAAAA-DOoru..." like the guy singing it fell asleep at the end. Also, birds. That's Ankh's thing. I can't believe I didn't get that. His arm even has little wings. I thought that was just how it got around but no. He's birds.

...

Peacock. Hueheuheuheuehehe.

Really? I like his Henshin song. I think it's plenty epic. Now you just need the Figuart, the metallic red is GORGEOUS!

I think I'm good with the SIC.

His henshin song... It's just the end that seems eeny. Now Tajador's background music, that kicks ass.
