Honestly, if hunting eyecons every episode for 50-ish episodes remained as enjoyable to me as the first 5, i'd be okay with it.

Finished Hibiki just now.
Pulled the Kuuga stunt of not actually giving us a proper final battle, this time opting to just skip ahead a year. I sort-of get why Heisei KR does finales that are a bit crap but it still bugs me. Really disappointed that it didn't end with Asumu becoming an Oni, especially when Kirya does. I never liked him at all. I liked the end scene between Hibiki and Asumu though, for a moment it felt like the old pre-Retool Hibiki show came back. The Todoroki learning to walk again stuff... stuff like that is where you can really tell Toshiki Inoue would rather have been just writing soap operas or something. All in all, Hibiki was a mixed bag. Some interesting stuff that's different from the stuff just before it, but you can tell the retool happened. Will decide whether to go right into Kabuto in a bit, or find something else to watch as my next Toku. |

I'm up to episode 9 of Agito.
That Houjou dude is an ass hole. Also I want an SS Figuarts Gills. Anyway, I wasn't planning on it until a bit later, but doing it now simplifies things a lot, so. Let's watch Shin Kamen Rider. -Institute of Super Science huh. Sounds super. -Hey, Ishinomori cameo. -Ishinomori is sneaky. -Great Grasshopper Fetishist Onizuka -This scene is trying to be serious but I'm just sitting here thinking Shin should put on some pants. -whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat -No really, what. "STAY AWAY FROM ME FOREVER!!!! well nevermind ai let's go skinny dipping i guess" -This movie is strange -Well that was one grotesque transformation. -I like how the pregnancy only became in any way apparent once the characters and audience first became aware of it. The way it was never foreshadowed and is only working as the plot demands it is truly some good storytelling. -This fetus's face is far creepier than the fact that it is half grasshopper. -Also, she's been pregnant for what, three days I'm guessing? Maybe more, maybe less. I don't care. But she doesn't even look a little bit pregnant. How is this grasshuman so developed already. Where the hell is it even hiding. -Yeah Ai, shield your bulletproof baby daddy with your own not bulletproof meat. That's smart. You smart, Ai. You smart. -Mighty spine day we're having innit. -I think this head was an acorn in its past life. -(because he NEVER GIVES UP, see) -Yeah so...I guess his dad exploded too? -The end. Goodbye creepy baby. Hrm. Yeah. That was a movie. I give it a ¯\_(ツ)_/¯/10 That is all. |

So I was curious and bored before going to bed and decided to watch the first episode of Masked Rider again because I haven't seen it since I was a kid and I have seen Kamen Rider Black RX and ZO.
Besides some moments I actually enjoyed the first episode, I thought they did a good job of describing the threat of Plague and Count Dregan. It was interesting or weird I'm not quite sure of adding in ZO's villain as the first villain but I did enjoy the American footage a lot. The voice acting of the villains was really good though the acting of some of the supporting cast of Dex wasn't too good. Though I definitely see which characters are supposed to be who from Black RX. Ferbus didn't bother me in this episode though it seemed weird that he would be sent to Earth. I liked all the parts on Edenoi with his Grandfather and friends. My curiosity and nostalgia will probably watch some more of this later though. Dex was interesting main character and reminds me of Kotaro-lite so for an American version of Kamen Rider I think he fit good. I think the most hilarious part is that he's wearing Kotaro's civilian clothes from Black RX.

They did that so that they could use footage of Tetsuo Kurata's fight scenes. The assumption was that kids wouldn't notice that Dex was occasionally Japanese during the fight scenes (just like they assumed that no one would notice when Masked Rider had a completely different costume during fight scenes with ZO or J footage - and to be fair, I didn't notice that back in the day).

So, I'm on episode 17 of Ghost. I feel like the show has slowed down since the end of the first arc. I'm still enjoying it, but I really enjoyed the beginning part. Also, wtf happened to Specter? He started off with Ghost barely being able to land a hit, now he's completely useless. Of course, there was an interesting development with him this episode, which will likely shake up the status quo. I hope so at least, since trying to talk to the Eyecons isn't as interesting for me as actually searching for them.
