That's not completely true. Every once in a blue moon, the dog is drunk.

...have I mentioned how amazing Fiveman is? Cause it totally is.

Also, I just finished episode 9. There's a dog in it that chances off CobraMan (GI Joe was right, Cobras are cowards)...and then the dog dies. Then I started episode 10 and Shocker is gathering dogs' blood...This really is a thing, isn't it? I think I'm going to have to start a doggie body count.

Faiz 24. Another dumb episode!

I like how at the start of this episode, Masato is already 'fuck your smart brains'. Seems pretty fucking pointless to bring up the rouse of him trying to join Lucky Clover if you had no plans to take it anywhere.

I also loved the scene where the President uses a Spirit Bomb and rather than reacting to THAT, Takumi asks 'is that the President of Smart Brain'? Fuck, what is it with you and questioning the things that don't need questioning?

Plus. There are really important things in this episode, that are underplayed to the point of 'dafook' levels of dafuck. Like at one point the President, in passing, as if it's common knowledge says the Belts were made for the Orphenoch King. EH. Who is the Orphenoch King? The belts were made for Orphenochs? This is a twist right? Why has the conversation already moved on, why isn't that a big deal? Wait, conversation, come back, where are you going? Why are you now talking about Lucky Clover? GO BACK.

Same with that scene in the Underground school with the Orphenoch with the belt, it was like five seconds long. WHAT IS GOING ON. It isn't even exciting or intriguing, it's just really frustrating.

At least Juuzo actually did something of worth for like the first time since he was introduced.

Starting Faiz 14: Hey, it's that guy from Cutie Honey the Live. That's about all that's sticking with me at this point. Also, I'm still not feeling the show. I thought Takumi would ease up on being on a jerk, but that hasn't happened yet. I'm still digging the suit designs, though, but I'm still undecided on the driver voice.

Edit: Also, considering all the puppy comments, should I expect Chako to explode or something soon?

Man I love the sexy Faiz voice. Kaixa on the other hand though just sounds like Faiz in slow motion, which may be exactly what it is, but it still sounds bad.

It's smooth, but for some reason it kind of weirds me out. I cannot explain it, honestly. It's totally irrational.

No, but you may want him to.

Chako is so cute!

Well I'm about to watch the Kamen Rider returns, Eternal movie and might watch the Accel movie, then probably move on to my next rider series. Any suggestions for that? I was thinking about blade but there seems to be a bit if a Fauz train going on here.

Watch Wizard! The ending is pretty bad, the pacing sucks and the story isn't great. That said Haruto is one of the best main riders ever, and on a pure spectacle, entertainment level Wizard is a joy from start to finish. Then after that, watch OOO.

It took me a while to get past Wizard's driver sounds, but I really ended up enjoying the series. I can easily second a recommendation to watch it.
