Blade 11

Ah, so the stuff controlling Tachibana is made from some sort of ancient plant. Hmm. I have a bad feeling things might go bad for Sayoko if she keeps following this, so I hope I'm wrong. I did have a similar feeling with Hajime's friend with the people from the limo spying on him...though that just turned out to be his dad.

The Spider Undead looks pretty cool. Category: Ace? Guess that means it's special somehow.

Blade 12

So all of the Rider Systems are created from Category Ace Undeads? I suppose that explains the cards they use to transform in the first place. I wonder how they managed seal them in the first place, seeing as how they're so powerful.

So Hajime saves a family from a monster and when he goes to check on them, the mother shouts, "Stay away!" and runs off, shielding her child. Man, do I hate that shit when it appears in every super hero thing. Sure, Hajime's actually a monster...but they don't know that! He's a Rider and it seems to be common knowledge that Riders are heroes in this show so...be grateful lady!

And of course, Hajime's friend turns on him as well. I suppose his friend's subplot with the boat is over then? I kinda hope so...

I knew something bad was gonna happen to Sayako if she kept looking into that plant. Now Shades is after her. Hopefully, Tachibana'll snap out of it in time to save her.

Fourze episode 16, the episode where shit got real... sort of. I really really like Libra (minus his incredibly shit looking superspeed effect), he is a way better villain than Scorpion was, even if she got to do some good stuff in that rushed episode she got beaten in.

Also the Engrish Jingle Bells was fantastic along with Gen's amazing painting. Nah I'm joking this episode, like most, had a really inspiring message and made me feel great by the end. Maybe that is why I can forgive Fourze for feeling so child friendly. This would deffo make for a great series if they ever plan to do another American adaptation.

Also hell yeah fighting with your henshin. I love how they make every Switch in this show, no matter how seemingly shitty, useful.

What I did think was the funny was the awkward location jump. I can forgive stuff like that in adaptations to some extent because they aren't gonna find a location that exactly fits but when the originals do that it is just shameful.

Meteor's suit design is both hideous and awesome in the same breath. And as cool as his introduction was I couldn't help but feel the plotting was kinda terrible, we don't actually need a secondary Rider because we have the Power Dizer. They could have got past this if they had that get destroyed but instead Shun just stood around gorping in the episode rather than helping out like he has done in...every other episode since he joined. Breaking established character to make your stuff 'make sense' is shit writing. Still Kamen Rider Bruce Lee was pretty fun, he punched WITH A PLANET.

Lots found Meteor's non symmetrical design to be part of his appeal.

Anyway, you got to Meteor, eh? I personally liked his Bruce Lee screams. It was both hilarious and awesome

And Meteor kind of reduces Shun's role, unfortunately. He still uses the Power Dizer to help out, but not as often anymore.

The reason Fourze is so child friendly is because after the tsunami the writers wanted to give children a hero to just enjoy and have fun with. I find that pretty inspiring in itself.

Yeah he was introduced much earlier than I expected, they really didn't give a chance for most of the cast to do much did they? Especially considering the size of it.

It's annoying as well because they could have paced this much better, really easily. Shun just got in that fight with Super Scorpion so why not just have the Dizer destroyed in that fight so it makes sense that Meteor would need to step in?

I guess at least I should be glad that Perseus was powered up and had one of the Horoscopes with him, half the time when a secondary Rider or sixth Ranger turns up they just suddenly make the base team or Rider completely useless and unable to fight or do half the things they could do in the previous episode.

They clearly nailed it as well. I can't normally stand goofy series but this just works so well and leaves me feeling so great after every episode.

The first time I watched Meteor's introduction, I actually had to re-watch it because I had trouble believing that he made Bruce-Lee screams and punched with a planet. It didn't help that I was in Pakistan at the time, since YouTube has (or had) limited bandwidth.

Episode 12 of OOO: Eiji has really grown on me as a Rider, I'll give the show that much. He's making this otherwise pretty boring and generic show worth watching.

Plus, although pretty much all the villains minus Gamel are uninspiring, it was pretty fun to have so many people fighting at once in this episode. SaGoZou was pretty meh though, probably my least favourite of the Combo forms yet.

[Matrixbeast]

Eiji and Ankh were what made OOO for me. I loved the two so much.

[Locke]

There is nothing really wrong with OOO but it just feels like Wizard again...or Wizard was like OOO again and it isn't OOOs fault that I saw Wizard first...but I did and OOOs just feels so bland and tired now because of it.

For all of its faults Kuuga was a very different beast to the other shows, just as Fourze is, whenever it comes to an episode of OOO it's just like...meh.

Speaking of Fourze, episode 17, man Meteor is awesome! I like how he's a really serious d-bag and yet when he fights he leaps around making Bruce Lee noises haha. Plus his henshin is so cool. He may be a little too serious for Fourze but I also find him kinda refreshing and makes him feel like less of a spare part than say...Beast did and does. He strikes good contrast with Gen and it's cool to see an evil Rider again, even if he isn't properly evil.

About the only thing I don't like about him is his Driver, I'm glad it isn't singing at least, but most of what it says sounds like questions and so in turn the Driver always sounds really confused and kinda clashes with the character somewhat.

Yuuki is also the cutest thing in the entire universe, my God I am smitten (I've been meaning to mention this for ages but always forget)

And again with those horrid location jumps. It gets even more confusing because I swear every show uses the same locations so it all starts bleeding into one another.
