Hibiki 28-29: This was a nice little set of episodes. I've said before that I'm not the biggest fan of Asumu, but all of this coming of age stuff is handled well in the show and it really shined on his little trek with Hibiki. Hell, with a bit of tweaking these would have made a decent (if somewhat open ended) finale.
30: Surely this retooling can't be so bad can it...oh my god what have they done to Hibiki? City fights? Generic MOTW-looking Makamou? The show's unique flavour seems completely lost already and the less said about Kiriya the better - people like him are the reason I hated Kabuto.

I, for one, enjoyed Hibiki in it's entirely. Would I have wished it never changed pace? Absolutely. But I still think it's worth a watch all the way through.
I've sat through every Heisei Rider series and I can't say that ANY one of them was BAD. There were certainly ones worse than others, but I mean, even Decade had plenty of enjoyable moments... I dunno. Maybe I'm just being a Kamen Rider fanboy. |

Black Episode 40: I really enjoyed this episode for the Master learning about Courage and even that he was willing to sacrifice himself even though he cowered in the beginning. Though I think Super-1 would have been awesome coming back for an episode like this. I don't understand why Black didn't use Multi-Eye to spot the invisible Salamander but then again he did move fast enough that it wasn't a big issue. Black kicked ass once again, and watching the fights are some of my favorite parts.

Up to episode 35 of Hibiki now and this show has taken a nose dive. The last couple of episodes have just been really bad comedy.
Armed Hibiki though? I don't know what to make of him. The suit is gorgeous but the whole point of the form just doesn't work for me. They've basically tried to make him more Rider-ish by giving him a gimmicky BUY THIS TOY weapon that doesn't even fit the general motif of the Riders. Not impressed at all. I did. It was terrible but no more terrible than any other retool episode has been so far, why that one inparticular?

Black Episode 41: Kotaro's first bout into Time Travel because it's not his last with all the freaking times Black and Black RX team up together. I really enjoyed that he tried to stop Nobuhiko even for a quick second though I don't think it would have stopped Golgom though, he would have to go back in time and Stop Golgom along with saving Nobuhiko and himself from being turned into Cyborgs. The Time Travel Cobra was interesting and lead to a good fight. The little kid I felt bad for, this is like Kuuga for me with hating Golgom as much as the Grongi. It's funny how Kotaro and Yuusuke are reminding me of each other. The Samurais were fun too and they were helpful. Great to see they weren't stuck in our time. I can't wait for more.
Black Episode 42: Great plan to bring back practically all the mutants to take over the city. Too bad your fatal flaw was that it relied on a little kid to make it work, lol. These kids are from Agito with their psychic powers, this makes three anymore and I choose to believe Black and Agito are definitely connected. Great to see Road Sector get some action because it's been a little bit since the bikes kicked ass. Yeah I like Golgom less and less since Birugenia left.

So I decided to watch Movie War Core on a whim and my final thoughts on the movie are it's meh. The OOOs segment was not as bad as people made it out to be but that by no means it was good. It's biggest failing for me is not how badly it messes up the canon of the show but in how freaking boring it is. The Core segment of the flick was by far the worst part for me because it feels out of nowhere. The "final battle" generally felt very rushed and anticlimactic which is such a shame considering I generally love the final battle segments of Kamen Rider movies. The only saving grace for this movie was the Double segment which showed how badass Kamen Skull is both in and out of suit seriously why didn't this guy get a W returns movie instead Eternal. I tell a lie Movie War Core has one more saving grace it reminded me how much I love Gotta' Keep it Real.

I really do wish we could have seen where the show would have gone if left to its own devices, and there was a lot lost in the production shake up, but what we ended up with wasn't at all terrible, most of the time anyways, and I know I've said it before but some of the show's best moments come in the latter portion of it.
