Agito 7--Well, this show's in no hurry to get anywhere, is it? Wondering what the Unknown are up to? Well, we're bloody well not going to tell you because that would get in the way of Shouichi being a good-natured doofus with his adopted family and Gills alternately lying on a gurney or being sad about how little he's really done in three episodes time, which usually results in him going for a lie down. He is the least motivated Rider ever--I swear to God.

Oh and the G3 project is suspended. I wish I cared.

I may have to skip ahead some--this show is slow to the point of being lapped by glaciers. I appreciate it as an artifact of "we're still trying to work out what this Kamen Rider thing is supposed to be in the 2000s," but actually watching it is like watching friggin' paint dry, but with much less dramatic tension.

Nothing is explained until the end.

The show is just a collection of questions, the biggest being ''why should I care?'' And it's never answered.

OOO 35: Given Ankh's obvious homosexuality and general flamboyance I thought he would have enjoyed the fashion show. I'm not saying gay people can't be badass - just look at Ichijou but it's really hard to appreciate a spindly Japanese man in eye makeup as an aggressive thug.

I do like windows into the Detective though, it's nice to remember that the body Ankh is possessing is a person with his own personality, hopes and dreams. And now he's woken up! Supernatural doesn't handle possession this well these days even though demons are their main enemy.

I also thought it was really cool to see Eiji use the power axe combined with his other form powers, even if it was with the blandest of forms. And Date became even more awesome this episode, fighting with a bullet in his head, literally.

Although I honestly don't care if Bug is trying to bring back Gamel and Mezul, I have not missed them at all and honestly completely forget they were in the show. I guess that says everything about how shit these villains are. Kyoryuger seemed to base their villains entirely on this show.

I've been meaning to ask this for a while but forget, what is with the Greed and their cloths?

"Paint drying" it is, then!

It's a visual cue that morphed into a plot point.

I can't wait to see what comes of this then.

[SPLIT LIP]

Not a lot.

I think Uva uses it to try and resurect Mezul. I don't even know if that's a plot point. Just that at some point they do more than flap in the background.

Fourze 38 was an absolutely awful episode. It tried to be all melodramatic but it just fell completely flat. Who the fuck cares if Elleen was defeated in battle? She was a selfish, shallow bitch until about one minute of screentime before she "died", I hate when shows assume that melodrama is a worthy substitute for actual depth and assume it means they don't actually have to spend the time making us care.

It was completely superfluous any way, as Gen did some ridiculous dramatic look at the sky while the rain poured on him you'd assume she died or something but all that happened is Virgo took away her memories of the event and sent her on her way. Why the last two haven't been sent to the Dark Nebula is any ones guess. The show felt like it had become a little tired and stuck in its way at times but now it's starting to feel like the show has just given up.

Gen is actually starting to annoy me as well, his sentimental attitude has become completely flat also. It used to be about something, it used to have actual depth, now he seems to be dissolving into another perfect protagonist unphased by anything good at everything and I just find that really boring. Especially as I'm watching this alongside OOO which gives the core trio (not including Ankh) lots of depth and interesting character turns and arcs.

I swear the two shows are forever destined to move in opposite directions, whenever OOO starts getting better Fourze goes downhill. If we're generalising I loved Fourze's first third but I haven't really enjoyed much since, apart from standalone bits on and off and I hated OOO's first half but have for the most part been loving it since Date was introduced.

Also what is Leo like in love with the chairman or something?

[Matrixbeast]

I am glad that you're starting to enjoy OOO more.
Shame that you're liking Fourze less and less, though. I personally enjoyed both series for different reasons.

Gentaro's attitude did become a flanderization of what it originally was, seemingly way too bloated of his original intention to be friends with the troubled students to just "FRIENDSHIP!!!!" x10

And Leo's devotion to the chairman was...Yeah. It was odd
