That was a fun, although more lightweight episode. Nico and Taiga seem like they could be amusing in the future and Hiiro really does care about Emu in a way. I'm most interested in Dan and Parad's rapidly deteriorating relationship though, I suspect Dan will be killed by Parad sooner rather than later.

Another really solid, enjoyable episode of Ex-Aid, but my thoughts might make it sound like I hated it:
- Okay, Ex-Aid, listen. I don't know if the scripts getting turned it are too long or whatever, but you can't just not have an opening whenever you feel like it. There needs to be some ground rules. 12 was both a Christmas special and had some very heavy events, and last week at least had a big revelation about our main character. It's like, I've been having a problem with the pacing of Rider episodes being too cramped since Drive and now I feel bad for complaining at all. - Man, the Bugsters are basically the most pathetic MotW ever at this point. When they aren't being used as glorified vending machines, or being used by the main villain towards some vague ends, they're horribly out of focus and desperately trying to matter, only to inevitably fail to be anything more than punching bags for the Riders until Plot stuff needs to happen. I feel sorry for them. - Hiiro and Taiga continue to be more interesting than they used to be, although I'm having trouble grasping the whole dilemma with Emu. Last I checked, separating a Bugster from a patient involves them being stressed out anyway, but even putting aside the question of why Emu being stressed is some absolutely unacceptable thing, is randomly trying to beat him up REALLY going to be any better towards that end than just explaining the situation? This is starting to feel like a Faiz plotline. - Next week looks like another "let's have some goofy fun until Genm shows up to ruin it 15 minutes in" plot. I guess that's just going to be a recurring thing now. Sure, why not? It wouldn't be the first time Ex-Aid just did whatever it felt like with the rules of its setting. If I had to guess, I'd imagine lugging around boxes, chests, barrels, and trophies to all the filming locations was a pain and a stack of circles is way easier to work with. Although this does make it even more glaring that nobody ever uses the dang things unless it's convenient for the plot. Or if you're Para-DX and you need to shill your toys while they're new, of course.

Oh, it's also explicitly 2016/17 in the show, as the event 6 years ago is the Player's Cup 2010.
That and I'm banking on Nico/Taiga being a thing, at least in the fandom. Seriously, just replace doctor with boyfriend and their last exchange this episode still makes perfect sense. Of course, I said the same thing about Kaito/Mai and look how that turned out... At the very least they haven't been implying something between two characters who act more like siblings than lovers all series... |

I assume you're referring to something specific there?

Good question. It's just that that's one of the biggest of my many, many problems with Gaim's ending and I'm pretty sure this is the first time I've ever actually heard somebody else bring it up, so it caught me off guard a bit.

Believe me, I love Gaim, just not it's ending. It feels like there were two Gaims, the one that was planned which the ending would probably of made perfect sense for and the one we actually got before that ending.

It's hard to remember because the actors look, and are, much younger, but the Riders this season are basically Old Men, by modern toku standards anyway. |

Anyway, this was a good episode. The "we don't want to stress Emu out by telling him he's a bugster, but attacking him sounds fine" plotline needs to end on account of still making no sense (the Faiz comparisons are not unjust, and somewhat worrying), but it's really good to see Hiiro and Taiga getting more characterization, I'm really enjoying them. I'm a little confused as to why exactly Nico couldn't transform. The game virus was dormant in her until she activated the gashat, according to the subs for last episode, which is like....exactly why Emu is able to transform? Girls can't be Kamen Rider, indeed. In spite of these complaints though, I really am enjoying this. Burgermon seems like a rehash of Cubi, and I'm not sure why it's so shocking to see a good bugster when Poppy's been there the whole time, but I'm really excited for some McDonald's shenanigans next week. EDIT: Oh, also, what was up with DKHZ suddenly getting a back piece to the armor? Not a complaint but it seems random. Last edited by SloopSloop; 02-01-2017 at 02:22 AM.. |
