Ah yes, you do need to finish OOO for Megamax.

It's a pretty cool movie.

Final Switch: Wow that letter scene kinda exposed just how shit everyone in the Rider club really was with Kengo's parting lines varying massively in length and detail between characters who actually contributed to the series and those who were just there.

Either way this was ultimately a very corny and very disappointing episode, and I guess corny and disappointing are a good way to sum Fourze up. So a fitting end really. Plus, it was better than whatever the fuck happened at the end of Kuuga.

At least it ended on a happy note and I love the cameo from Haruto.

Overall I think I'd rank my series, from worst to best as:

4) Kuuga: the opening ten episodes were great, the world was well built and Ichijou is a fantastic character, that said the acting was shit, the tonal clash was too much, the action was awful and it had a rubbish main Rider. Plus most of its style choices were just wrong.

3) Wizard: Obviously this hasn't finished yet but currently where I stand, Haruto is one of my favourite Riders so far and I will defend him always. That said Wizard is mainly a show of potential, rather than a show of great moments, and sadly throughout the shows run horrible pacing has undermined all the great potential of the series. It has awesome action sequences though.

2) Fourze: Although the second half of this show is generally much worse than anything found in Wizard, the fact that for me the opening half was basically flawless and the best Kamen Rider stuff I've seen yet rockets this show to stars.

1) Dragon Knight: Fuck the haters, I just adore this show and it was my window into Kamen Rider and I'm eternally grateful for that.

Blade 22

Really, Mutsuki? You think its awesome to have a tragic backstory? Ah, well, he eventually did pick a good enough reason for fighting. And hey! Looks like he can control his rider form now!

A new high level undead arrives, huh? Interesting. I wonder what the Hawk dude's deal is...

Aaaaannnd Blade 23

Wow, so Hajime can shift into different Undead as well. Huh. That reporter chick, though. I thought by the end of the episode, she realized Hajime was ostensibly a good guy, but whatever she was doing by the end looked a little ambiguous...Anyway, go into a little more of Hajime's backstory here. A little. Now, at least, Kenzaki knows why Hajime protects Amane and her mom. I wonder if he'll tell Kotarou...

Interesting little exposition on how the Undead Collectible Trading Card Game™ works. Too bad Mutsuki's only interested in collecting the ultra-rare hologrpahic editions. Seriously though, don't whine because Tachibana was trying to tell you something important, Mutsuki. Geeze...

So Blade 04:

Fear of what the Rider powers will do to your body is something I've wanted from all my Rider shows, a sense that something is happening beyond changing outfits, so I'm glad that Blade not only includes that but also makes it central to its series. That said, everything else introduced was a bit nuts, something about eternal life would cause world peace or something? (what?).

Also the relationship between Blade and the Journalist is a little bizarre, didn't they just meet the other day? And didn't they only tolerate each other because they both had something to gain? Why are they now like close childhood friends? I expect this off Gen but I assumed this series was trying to be a bit more serious. Oh well, Kenzaki isn't unlikeable at least, he feels like a proper hero and I'm quite enjoying Tachibana as well. Sadly though I've not really been given a reason to care about anyone else yet, though, although that Cupid Rider dude has an awesome suit design.

Plus it blows me away that this show came out only three years after Kuuga and yet has such impressive action sequences. I guess Heisei Kamen Rider was progressing pretty quickly til the Den-O format caught them in a rut. Plus, for whatever reason, I've always gotten more out of Riders and Rangers fighting other Riders and Rangers than I have MOTW so I like that there is so much Rider on Rider action so far.

[WhiteRanger]

What the fuck is up with the Fourze movie audio? It's set up for six channels and I can't seem for the life of me to change it, so I have audio that sounds like it's coming in and out and it sounds horrible and flat as I only need two channels.

Nevermind, apparently this is something to do with my version of windows, I had to basically put in a code for custom mapping to get it to not sound like I was running backwards and forwards in front of the film

[SPLIT LIP]

Actually, since it was brought up, I rewatched Megamax and it's actually cooler than I remember. Really the team-up bits, since the Riders really work off eachother well. (Shotaro meeting Gentaro is priceless) Plus OOO and W kick ass in that movie.
