GARO Makai No Hana Episode 3: Interesting episode going into if Mayuri is alive or not, it felt a bit filler-ish but stiil Raiga's lines about protecting people, saying she's human and alive was great, also Raiga's fight scenes untransformed are absolutely fucking brilliant. I can't wait to learn more about Mayuri and Raiga.

GARO Makai No Hana Episode 4: This was amazing with using the Horror Movies and taking Raiga into them, I loved him killing the zombies, fighting Ghost Face, and more. I knew he was sent into Scream, I am not a big horror movie fan so I don't know what else he was put into. I like that Raiga was drawing too that was cool. I love they use real suits for both GARO and the horrors because as much as I love GARO Yami Wo Terasu Mono, the CGI Monsters and Armors weren't the best thing. Still really enjoying Raiga and excited for more.

Yes I believe it is.
GARO Makai No Hana Episode 5: God, I didn't care for him in ZERO Black Blood and now the guy comes back to play another Horror here? Ick it's just how he acts is annoying to me. The horrors sure like to pick some sick people here. Crow is pretty cool so far, I completely love his armored form with the wings and that he uses a Katana because we have seen that from what I can remember, I love curved blades. It feels weird because Raiga feels like Rei with some Kouga to him and Crow feels like Kouga with a little Rei to him. Well I hope the series picks up soon.

I started watching Ultraman Tiga (the Japanese version). I remember watching the dub as a kid but I don't really remember it. So I'm finally getting around to watching it again, but in the original source.
It's...something. It seems really fast paced compared to stuff like Sentai and Rider, and it also seems to be a bit, simpler. The opening video is weird as fuck too. The song itself kicks ass but my lord is the video insane. And you can definitely tell the CGI is from the id 90s, noticeable as shit. But the practical effects are pretty good. The cinematography is great too. It looks like it's really there in the same way old British shows do. So far I'm kinda enjoying it. It's pretty fast and simple, but it is fairly fun, and there is a bit of the nostalgic pull for me. I guess I'll keep watching it for now, though it definitely isn't holding my full attention compared to the other tokusatsu shows I watch.

Watched the Space Sheriff Shaider Next Generation movie and while I liked the Sharivan one a tiny bit more this was still alot of awesome put into a one hour runtime.
The action was just top notch, I loved pretty much all the characters and the story was alot of fun. Together with Sharivan Next Generation this was probably the best two hours of tokusatsu I have seen in years. |

UltraMan Nexus Episode 7: Well Komon keeps being the best character of the Night Raiders with saving the little girl that they said to not worry about. I liked his story he told to the girl about naming the dog, and how heroic he is with protecting her. Reminds me a lot of Eiji/KR OOO. Nexus vs Faust was definitely intriguing. Faust being the Shadow and taking him to the dark field was exciting. I can't wait how this continues with both Nexus and Komon in trouble.
UltraMan Nexus Episode 8: Great to see the Night Raiders successfully take down the giant monster by themselves. The plan worked which is great to see their weaponry is powerful enough to defeat one of the Space Beasts. I'm liking Komon more, saving the girl, and taking the blame for the Deputy Captain was great too. The Deputy Captain is interesting she must have been by these beasts bad or something because she definitely has that hurt feel to her. The scene with the Captain and Komon needed to happen to help him get past his thoughts and it's great to see more of the team interact together because they are definitely lacking time with the other Night Raiders. Nexus vs Faust was freaking amazing, the battle was awesome so many great moves and I love how Nexus turned the fight around when he was losing. The MP are interesting too I understand that it is wrong to change memories without permission but it does help the people they do it too. Overall very interesting story and I can't wait for more.

Watched Kikaider REBOOT between last night and this morning (thanks to a minor crisis where the disc stopped working on my player and I thought it was faulty. Thankfully it worked when I changed the region on my old laptop) and was pretty impressed with it. Not many toku heroes can lend themselves to "gritty realistic remakes" but Kikaider is one of the few that can, and REBOOT runs with this and really makes it work.
The basics of the original Kikaider plot are in there, but its all been reworked in a very different way. DARK is very different from the typical toku evil organisation they were in the original. The first 20 minutes are pretty rushed (and don't make complete sense in some instances) but the action is really slick. There's a fair bit of over the top wirework jumping and dodgy special effects, but really that's part of the package isn't it? Sometimes toku movies feel more like extended episodes rather than actual films, but this one did feel like a higher budget adaptation and I could really appreciate that. Jingi Irie's Jiro is very different to the manga/anime/toku versions, coming across as more of a robot confused by his emotions than one conflicted by them. This bothered me in a few of the fight sequences, as it came across that the Conscience Circuit was automatically stopping him harm others rather than making him realise that he shouldn't do it. I was willing to chalk this simply up to a different interpretation, but the fact Jiro turns off his Conscience Circuit to defeat Hakaider goes against the whole point of Kikaider. He's able to turn his emotions off at any time, but he chooses not to because he'd instantly lose his memories and what makes him "human". Having Hakaider acknowledge that he's gone against his creator's intention makes it a little better, but really its something that shouldn't have happened in the first place. The film puts an interesting spin on Professor Gill, taking him from the leader of an evil organisation to a brilliant scientist that's always lived in Komyoji's shadow. It'd have been nice if he could have been developed a bit more, but I liked how in becoming Hakaider he felt he'd surpassed both humans and machines. I'm not usually a fan of Gill Hakaider, but he worked really nicely in this film. But my absolute favourite addition was Mari, who I was quite surprised to hear was going to be in this film. Disappointingly there's no Bijinder Reboot, but Maryjun Takahashi is superb in the role and definitely has the best fight sequence of the entire film. With a surprisingly dower ending and a VERY interesting end credits scene (Saburo Hakaider might still be a thing?!?!) I do hope they're able to revisit this universe in some capacity. I mean if the Space Sheriffs can get V-cinemas after the mixed reception to Gavan, surely this can get a second outing too. It's certainly not a film that'll spawn a whole new franchise, but it'd be an utter shame for it not to get another opportunity to finish its story.

UltraMan Nexus Episode 9: The plot thickens with Komon, how he met his girlfriend Riko was a nice scene, and just seeing him hang out with Riko was great too. The animals were so cute especially the bunny; anyways as I said the plot thickens as Riko gets injured by falling glass or whatever was dropped on her that Komon saves her from and then she is magically where Komon crashed. More with Nexus vs Faust again, this guy is just a troll right now I hope Nexus crushes him soon. The fighting is excellent again they put on a great show Nexus and Faust.
UltraMan Nexus Episode 10: Seems like there is a conspiracy against Komon, someone is using Riko to get to him, might have something to do with who Faust is, and might make sense but I'm not sure. I enjoyed the Night Raiders more this episode being successful against the monster, and helping Nexus. I am happy the Captain and Riko inspired Komon to be more positive and how it lead to their success in the mission. I enjoyed Nexus helping before they crashed, and hopefully they will accept that he is trying to help them. The storyline is picking up and I am more intrigued in it. Can't wait for more.
