One other question since this is my first go into the Lets Watch Wednesday thing, how many episodes per week are we watching/commenting on? Because I'm really itching to go above episode 6 at this point. I'm finally starting to figure out where each character stands, and it's getting good.

Is it me or does the camera work look weird? Because it feels different from when i seen Kabuto. is it the type of camera they're using?

We watch 3 a week, but I'm sure skipping ahead a few will be fine as long as you keep the discussion of those episodes for their respected weeks =]

The first 3 episodes of Blade are crazy, and just full of mystery. It's a refreshing way to start a series (especially since I watched it after Faiz) and it certainly pays off in the long run =]

Also, how come Garren/Tachibana/Libra's actor has seemingly never aged I swear he looks just as old/young in Fourze as he does here despite the what, 5/6 year gap?

We always watch 3 episodes of the show. You're welcome to watch more but the discussion threads are specifically meant for that weeks set of episodes so please don't discuss any additional watching you do as it could spoil it other viewers. Just wait until the appropriate week to discuss the episodes you've seen. Thanks!

Dude I know! Hironari Amano (or after the name change Kousei Amano) is like the Rob Lowe of japan. Dude never ages. There's an 8 years gap between Blade (2004) and Fourze (2012). He looks fantastic!

[RiderSkyward]

Wow 8 years, he really does look good then!

[Matrixbeast]

I once read that Japanese women don't age until they hit 50.
I guess that applies to men, too?

[blastmonkey]

Seriously, home boy hasn't aged.

I liked the random I.D. checkpoints throughout board headquarters. Point your phone at the plant, hit the column with your palm. Final eyecheck at the virgin Mary. Shame it all had to go away. I wonder if having access to different parts of the base required hitting specific checkpoints thought the building.

The mystery of Hajime/chalice's origin and purpose is something to look forward to. You gotta admit, Chalice's design downright nifty.

Yeah, the different check points were a nice touch. Gives you a sense of how big BOARD was and heirachy among the employees.

And while I'm posting I'll bring up two points I forgot to. Kamen Rider using their bikes felt refreshing. Now, I'm not one of those people who hyperbolize that the modern Riders never use their bikes, but the Blade Riders have different had theirs on screen than say Kiva or Wizard. Secondly, Blade Brave is an awesome song.

[blastmonkey]

Agreed in both points, bikes and song. The last series in watched was Agito (gotta finish that up, twelve episodes to go), all sorts of bike riding in that one. Nice to see Chalice's henshin Also transform the bike as well. I've always enjoyed when that happens.

[AkibaSilver]

So, Blade episodes 1 and 2. Very hectic, very chaotic, and the main characters all look the same. The suits and fights look good. But Chalice... he beats all others...

I'm going to like this show.
