I was really afraid they'd be going the "Patch Adams" route with Emu, focusing more on a patient's mood than any real ailment.
But I think they subverted that well enough; as Asuna pointed out stress can be a contributing factor in any illness and since an intern isn't allowed to give medicine or do operations this is a nice way for him to help patients and still keep learning. |

Surprisingly, I enjoyed this episode much better than the first. Well, primarily it was because Hiiro's inclusion in there. But, I also found that Emu was much better here. I really liked when he clashed his minds with Hiiro and it shows a bit of growth for him. I just hope they will keep this part up since I felt most of the comedies regarding Emu are a little flat and tasteless. For those who think Asuna is a bit annoying as Popi or whatever her name is, well, I think you don't need to think too much of it as much as Onari. Basically, I felt a bit of Kiriko-vibe in Asuna in her nurse mode. I still enjoy her as Popi but it feels much better to see her as Asuna herself. Also, the more I see it the more I feel that Director Kagami or Hiiro's father will be like Chief Hongaji; a bit goofy for most of the times but gets serious when the time calls.
For those who kinda disappointed with Hiiro's weak appearance or debut here, I will certainly disagree. I really enjoyed Hiiro's screentime here and his stoic personality is a great enjoyment for me. His rivalry with Emu also gave enough tense to build up the tension. As for now, I feel Emu will be much better if paired with Hiiro since it really balances the bland comedy here. It's funny to see Hiiro's assistant to actually placed the belt and gave the Gashat to him. Man, everyone would envy him.... Also, I found a Kaito-vibe in Hiiro but he is a nicer type of him. Really, despite saying he won't sympathize his patients, he actually saved the victim in the church by slaying the Bugster first. Well, basically, he just needs to beat the crap out of enemies and by that, he saves his patients too. It might be unnoticeable but it shows a bit similarity with Emu. Yep, Hiiro is really a tsundere. The battle here was pretty good too. Genm was still intimidating. I also love how they blended the RPG and Action type game together in a fluid battle scene. It's really hard to blend the two well. Lastly, the weak part of this series is the bland comedy. Really, I couldn't enjoy the comedy at all. It's just so unnatural!! Ghost was pretty much better to handle the comedy or not even with too much comedy either.... -_-'. But, other than that, I love every parts of this episode, especially Hiiro. I love him much better than Kaito. And yep, Taiga got a Gamer Driver from Dan. For Genm, I will suspect it would be Dan or the Graphite Bugster. |

The toy catalogue gave us a reason to expect Graphite and that Pallad isn't Genm
Graphite has a black belt, which the toy catalogue shows as the Bugster Buggle, which Genm needs for his Zombie Gamer form, and we have a Kamen Rider Paradox. Pallad = Parad

Haven't read any of the thread yet, just finished watching the sub and wanted to post my quick thoughts.
Hiiro/Brave reminds me of Kitaoka/Zolda for some reason, and seeing as the latter is my favorite tv character of all time, that's all good with me. Plus the bit at the end of the episode with the pie, I was already digging him, but I think I fell in love right there. I can see him becoming my favorite rider of this season easily. Was a good episode. The pace felt different from what I expected, with a bigger action scene towards the beginning, character stuff in the middle, and then the final fight at the end. I actually liked that though, just felt different than the usual. Fight scenes were great, am gonna miss the game visuals when the budget runs out, but I'll enjoy them while I can. Hell, even watching the Level 1 forms fight has become rather enjoyable, much better than I ever expected from them. A few plot threads teased here and there, looking forward to seeing where things go from here. Edit: Also gotta say I love "Excite" as a theme and the intro sequence is great.

Well I just got done watching the episode and I really loved it!
The opening is giving me some early hesei rider vibes which I'm digging a lot. The song itself is pretty catchy and I enjoy it more than Ghost's or Drives. The visuals are also a lot more impressive than Ghost's and really all of it was great. The episode itself had a lot of fun. The characters in this show don't annoy me like some characters from the past few years. The action is really fun to watch especially with all the game affects added in. LVL 1 suits and fight scenes are way more entertaining than I ever thought than they would ever be. LVL 2 is what I expected and it's still entertaining. Overall I'm very surprised that Ex-Aid is rubbing off on me as good as it is. It's entertaining to watch, it looks like it knows where it wants to go with its story and the theme song is really catchy. I really hope that Ex-Aid can keep this level of fun up for a year. |

Pretty good episode. Solid action and a cool secondary rider. I still find the humor to be unfunny.

I'm amazed by how promising this series seems. I just saw the first two episodes this evening, and I'm impressed. I hope the show can keep my interest; I don't know if I can stomach another Ghost or middle-of-Drive.
