Watched Episodes 22-24 of OOO. Loved the TaJaDor and Shouja (I think the Sea Combo) both awesome. Love Date and Eiji even more. So much fun with Love Stricken Eiji. Also loving the pairing of Gotou and Date.

The Blue/Water combo is ShaUTa (Shachi, Unagi, Tako)

Anyway, I'm glad you're enjoying it! Date and Gotou make such a fun team, they're awesome!

It could have been only about 10 minutes of stuff, but it was extraordinarily stretched out to fill two episodes.

It was rough.

But Rising Pegasus was pretty cool.

Yeah, that's an arc that I don't think anybody likes.

Ah okay I knew it was something like that. Awesome, I can't imagine the show without Date anymore lol.

Getting very close to running out of TN episodes of Kuuga I want the Grongi translated! D:

Anyway, just watched episode 16 and eh... It was fun and all but I'm not sure how much I enjoy character focus in this show, being that the guy playing Ichijou is about the only good actor in the entire show.

Plus everything about his latest character arc was just...bizarre, what am I meant to take away from this? His Mum practically goes blind and passes out...and is then back to work again the next episode and despite everyone telling Ichijou to go see his Mum, he doesn't go see her and instead they have a two line conversation so vague it barely counts as language. I thought perhaps it was supposed to suggest that their bond was damaged and there was a breakdown in communication but that annoying police girl seemed overjoyed in hearing a conversation that amounted to:

"Hey."
"Hi."
"Oh...I didn't think you'd actually pick up."
"I know."
"Yeah."

Just what the fuck?

Plus this whole bike aspect is just really poorly plotted, they spent ages establishing that the bike given to Godai was like the batmobile but on two wheels that for some reason had a button that changed the paint job but without the bike getting damaged, without the bike no longer having a use they've just replaced it with a new talking bike, making sure to establish that the bike beneath the armour has changed forever...just for the armour to then fall off, what is the point?

I know this will probably become clear later in the series but so far the most complicated mystery has been surrounding bike armour, how have you managed to make this last two episodes as it is? Let alone even more.

It's still the same bike. The control panel gets damaged in one fight, might have been the one with the Rhino dude. Just be patient regarding the armor, it's not done yet.

I agree that thing with Ichijo and his mom was kinda odd, but I took it as she knew he would be too busy, always putting his all into fighting the Gurongi, to answer, so it meant a lot that he just answered. I dunno. Ichijo is still awesome, possibly the best character from the show, but I do really like Godai, too.

You're watching it with the Gurongi translated?! You shouldn't do that on your first watch through, cuz spoilers!

I'll wait for this armour stuff to all come together then!

So the fact he took a moment out of his day to ring up his mother was the important thing? Was I supposed to see Ichijou as a greater hero because he was willing to sacrifice goodbyes with his possible dying mother to fight the ULs? Because I think that just makes him a douchebag. I hate the sentiment that heroes cant do things simply for themselves, that they are made to feel selfish. But yeah Ichijou is still my favourite character.

And yeah, I hated watching it without it translated. Normally when something is constructed like this they give visual clues to what the conversation is about and keep it brief, however the ULs get as much dialogue as the human characters and I can't understand or even hint at what the hell they are saying and it was just frustrating.

Also episode 17 of Kuuga was...err... recap episode with random fight scenes slotted around it? Well that was pointless...
