Re: KR Gaim 33 and Yuta Cafe 5 released
I agree with Revorse, above. I also think Kiwami Gaim will get some pretty good usage out of the big swinging, spinning, kiwi discs of death. I think they gave Kiwi Arms those as the weapons because that was the best idea they could think of in terms of; 'what weapon haven't we already used and that...

Re: Correlation between the Riders and Generals
Yeah, I don't think it would be too much of a stretch to think that when the themes of 'warring states' and multiple riders/factions were decided upon that those involved thought "we'll go all out and have certain characters based on those from our actual history." It's the sort of, tip-of...

Re: KR Wizard Net Movies
I loooooooooooooved these! Seeing the loose moments where they might just be ad-libbing or seconds away from falling apart is awesome. And I love their dissection of Beast's motif and character. It's something I never actually thought about before, but his disparate elements are what make him great!...

Re: KR Gaim 26 released
In that episode, where Kouta told Mai all that had happened and instead of hating him, she came and put her arms around him . . . I completely expected Micchy to loom out from behind a wall with an insane look in his eyes. But that carried over into the rest of the episode without that scene even ne...

Re: KR Gaim 26 released
Yeah, I like that slowly but surely we have been shown that Micchy is actually, in fact, totally unhinged. One thing I thought was cool in this episode was that we see that his desire to 'keep Mai smiling' is actually more of a demented control issue than it is a schoolboy crush. He doesn't actually...

Re: Toqger 09 departing now
Yeah, I didn't think it was particularly misogynistic at all. The guy patting her on the head and saying she should be protected was more of a classic chivalrous "you deserve to be protected", i.e. as you're too beautiful and precious to have to come to any unnecessary harm. I realise that...

Re: KR Wizard 46 released
Oh really? That's great! I am really surprised because you'd naturally think it would be the opposite, i.e. Fourze with its themes of space, friendship and school vs. Wizard's despair, death and heroes being tortured internally by the very things that give them power. Well . . . i'm not complaining!...

Re: They're Back! Tokumei Sentai Versus Doubutsu Sentai
I loved the movie and agree with the people who have said the producers/writers were "trolling" the audience. That's how I interpreted it anyway. It all came across as somebody behind the scenes just losing his mind, thinking "OK FANS. LOW RATINGS AND NEGATIVE FEEDBACK. YOU WANT THE S...

Re: Kamen Rider Gaim, What's Up With That?
To just chime in with my view on the 'fruit theme' . . . at this point, I just hear something like this and think "great." There was probably a time where this would have sent me insane, but I've grown to really appreciate over time the truly unique insanity that is both KR and Sentai wher...

Re: KR Wizard 46 released
I have reaaaaaaaallllllly enjoyed this series, I must say. I have no idea how well it's gone down with kids (I would imagine it's a tad dark for them), but as an adult I've loved it because of the central and existential human elements of the whole Gate/Phantom concept. Smashing someone's one bit of...

Re: Kyouryuuger 24 released
I have to say that I really didn't like the female KyoryuViolet character. I know I'm sort of ragging on this poor young girl in a kids' show, but I just feel the entire thing didn't work. The character was just weaker than weaker than weak and the actress herself wasn't good at all. I think the sho...

Re: Go-Busters 42 Released
I particularly liked when J was on his phone in the base, and I think he was trying to call Yoko (maybe?) but to me it seemed like he was answering some call from someone, which I thought was amazing - that J has these other contacts he's met in the real world that just call him out of the blue to h...

Re: Thinking about age in relation to entertainment
I don't think I've ever heard of Eliminator, mate. Doesn't ring a bell. I was born in 1987 and the things I knew as a lad were like Fun House and Art Attack. I assume it was sort of after my time, this Eliminator show. *stumbles around with walking stick* Yeah it's just people needing to put everyth...

Re: Super Hero Taisen released
I didn't really enjoy this movie, as I was just confused more than anything. Now I've read a bit more from other people's opinions, I can see that maybe Toei sacrifices a lot of plot or coherence to make way for just whizz-bang nuttiness happening to get kids to go to the movie theatres. But as a gr...
