Only very, very loosely. Like the writers heard someone else describe the show from the far side of a loud room and decided to go with that version, even though they only caught a couple of words.

Kamen Rider ZX. I loved it, honesty. Now I see why people like the Showa era of Kamen Rider so much. But what I enjoyed more than the movie itself was the history lesson it gave in the begining. I loved that, I loved learning about the origin of the series and who played who and why that happened when it did.

The movie's worth watching just for that alone.

Finished Fourze, was actually better than I thought it would be, now I do not care for the way they copied W in terms of Kengo , But at least they didnt wait a whole episode before trying to bring him back.

Also watched first episode of Den-O, this guy is a wuss, all he has done is get taken over by a demon, and beat up by a bunch of thugs. Granted I know the demon is an Imagin and its Momotaros but seeing the show is wierd

Don't worry, he mans-up. Consider it a trial run for him. Not everyone can have a good first outing.

Episode Five of Black was fantastic, almost like Hammer Horror as done as a Kamen Rider episode. The true strength of the episode is it never once felt like it was going through the motions, or baiting the audience, it had a story it wanted to tell and it will tell that story, not undermine it by meeting audience expectations. I dig the attitude, at least when it presents episodes this good. Despite not ageing all that gracefully, Black is really stylishly directed and always really interesting visually. This episode especially had so many memorable moments, it was just awesome.

You forget, with a lot of modern series moving quick fire from action scene, to gag, to melodrama and back again how important it is to set the scene and how much that can add to the enjoyment, Black just has great atmosphere. I loved the slow build up in this episode, the way the mystery came together and how it was able to achieve horror and didn't make me want to slit my wrists at the same time like Kuuga did.

I have to say though, whether it was just a bad translation or terrible writing, the general lack of sympathy towards this clearly very damaged young girl was unintentionally hilarious. When my Sister has one of her panic attacks, my first port of call is to violently thrash her and shout, 'pull yourself together!'

Blade 39

So we get Trial B/Prof Hirose's true form.

Mutsuki sure is pathetic as the Tiger Undead points out. Or Spider-Mutsuki I guess. The line between the Undead and Mutsuki is kinda blurred at this point.

And Hirose finally gets to see her dad again. Well...a close enough proximile of him. H barely acknowledges her and instead beats up Mutsuki. Something I both scold and approve of. Hirose still wants to talk to him though. And Tiger Undead's spying on the whole thing.

And she's too...upset. Either from her father's (clone's) reveal as Trial B or from the fact that Kenzaki and Tachibana didn't tell her that he was alive earlier, even if they probably thought it was for the best.

I sort of like how Hajime decided not to go this time, because he was too busy enjoying humanity. Spending some quality time with Amane and her mom. And looking through some sort of old family videos, Hirose seems to have figured out her father's clone's true nature.

Episode 40

Okay, we're getting there...It opens with Mutsuki miraculously saving the day sort of, by inadvertently rescuing Hirose from her father. Before getting his ass kicked as soon as he tried to attack the others. Why was Leangle considered the Ultimate Rider, again?

Hirose can't bare to delete her old memories. Even if they were used for a twisted use like Trial B. And....Hajime can apparently play guitar. Amane's mother seems upset about something though...And BOARD boss is forming Trial G. And he knows Tiger Undead's spying on them and decided to test their new Trial on her. Although...he made one fatal flaw. He cloned Trial G from Mutsuki. You don't do that if you wanna win.

Though it still gave Tiger Undead a thrashing. Mutsuki didn't seem to care when she passed out in front of him. She's like your only friend now dude, don't look at her like a smug tool! He did bandage her up, and placed her on a couch to rest, so good on him for once.

Ah, right they don't know if Prof. Hirose is dead or not yet. good that they immediately noticed it was a trap though. Kenzaki and Tachibana are awful at hide and go seek. I'm not sure if Trial B actually cares about Hirose at this point. He seemed to go nuts the whole time when she didn't acknowledge him. Hajime seems to sense that the others really need his help this time. He's gotta interrupt his and Amane's tea ceremony time to do it.

Hmm. I suppose Trial B does care for Hirose after all. Or at least remembers the final wishes of the real Prof. Seems his programming was corrupted by the Board boss. Well, he redeemed himself for now. Both him and the real Prof. Hirose.

All the Riders of this show fighting together for once! It's pretty awesome! Poor Hirose' though. Even if it was a clone, she just saw her father die in front of her. The BOARD boss seems to have some sort of card up his sleeve, literally. Still didn't show what it was though, so I'm assuming it's pretty bad news.

That advertisement for the Blade song collection was so stupidly hilarious. "If you don't buy it, we'll beat you up! Send Kenzaki something to eat, he's hungry! Make sure he doesn't starve!"

Watched Decade 10-13 which was both the Faiz and Agito tributes. I enjoyed both of them I'm loving Decade, DiEnd and Kuuga in these episodes. Enjoyed the Faiz one a lot and the Kuuga/DiEnd rivialry for the Agito part.
