Glad you liked OOO. It's a great show!
And at that point, Shingo was fully healed and conscious, remember? They didn't have to worry about him anymore.

Also it's cool that they showed Battle Hopper sitting there, almost as if to tell us he isn't forgotten. I can't help but think Battle Hopper looks at Road Sector and thinks "you slut."

Also really, he saved a puppy? So he saves babies, puppies, and smashes boulders all in one episode? Now we're getting a bit silly. (but hey, as long as Crab monster is made from styrofoam his new rider punch should work just fine.

Next time! On Kamen Rider BLACK!


OOO has a very satisfying finale. The actual show itself, I felt, lost something near the end, but the actual final episode itself rocked.

Elaborate on this point.

Episode 3 of Kabuto was kind of uninspiring. The new bike looks cool as hell but the whole plot about the Worms was really drawn out and went nowhere, unless this is going to somehow have greater purpose down the line.

Plus, I don't know really know how I feel about the whole cast off, clock up thing. In the first episode the general thrill allowed me to kinda surf on the bad but I dunno...it's just so...clunky. Like the general idea is really cool but he has to henshin, then he has to actually go to his proper form, then he has to clock up once, then AGAIN to do the finishing move - with his finishing move including even more button pushing and lever flipping. It just ends up feeling a lot less spectacular because it's so needlessly drawn out.

Watched OOO episode 10 and main it gets really interesting fast. I am intrigued with Doctor Maki but don't like him. I love Eiji even more so and Ankh is fun.

Dr. Maki is really becoming the split character. Either you hate him and his doll, or you love him and his morbidity. I really thought Cazali/Kazari (HOWEVER HIS NAME IS SPELLED) would be the one the fandom would be split on, but I guess I was wrong.

EDIT: That was probably my least favourite episode. Aside from it being a blatant commercial, it was disjointed and the pacing was off. The only noteworthy thing was the bike and that now someone else knows who Black is.

Yeah, I am not a fan of Road Sector. I don't even know what the point of it was. Why did Toei feel the need to give Black a second bike?

Of course, I love Black, it is in my top 5 favorite Rider series of all time, but it definitely has some major misses to it. The biggest being Shadow Moon does not appear until the last 15 episodes of the series, and you never actually see him in human form outside of one or two quick shots.

He took the monster's blood and found it was flamable, then analyzed it under a microscope and compared it's cells with those in a book to determine it's exact spieces and where it lives.

Merchandizing. In the days before secondary Riders and alternate forms you needed something else to put on the toy shelves.

Shadow Moon isn't supposed to transform - the whole point of turning Kotaro and Nobuhiko into Black Sun and Shadow Moon was that those bodies were meant to be their new bodies as the Century Kings. The fact that Nobuhiko never changes back indicates that he's embraced that destiny and turned away from his humanity, while Kotaro still holds onto his.

Finished watching Kabuto recently. It's not bad--not my favourite or anything, but not bad.

Just started watching Den-O.
