Wow, thanks for doing the math breakdown about how much time is spent on filler. Good job! I've been wanting to do it since the first episode, to be honest. This episode felt so short because of the pacing I finally got around to it. I'm thinking of doing a comparison for the first driver upgrade e...

I'm really torn on this episode because some parts of it were great, some okay, and some were pretty terrible. Mei got a bit too hyper, but this time it can be put down to her panicking about a deadline (I was half expecting suicide threats, considering she still reminds me of the publishing agent f...

Still a lot of huge flaws due to the limits on filming... and Tassel, but I thing this one earned the first 5 out of me. Takenoko's usage of THICC feel very dated a this point (a lot of Millennial-speak is finally becoming niche), but the cringe factor of having Tassel say it fit extremely well. I w...

Not sure how i feel about the compatible/non-compatible books. while limits can open new flood gates, its almost suggesting a rock/paper/scissors system, which please leave out of shows NOT based on games. I don't think it was a case of being non-compatible so much as a poor fit. We do have three d...

I was tempted to give this episode a 5 because a lot of things improved, but I'm holding to 4 because a lot of the flaws are still there *cough*Tassel*cough* For the 16 or so minutes of show we had, I'm glad this is a two-parter. True, we have two new Riders we know nothing about, but I agree that K...

That was absolutely perfect! Can we start a poll to have an alternate HD download made for each episode with Hanadi Sensei's modified opening? I know I'd be more than happy to download the alternate version (just cut out the end credits, I skip them anyway for the preview) over the official funeral ...

Episode number two certainly wasn't number two, but it still had a lot of flaws. I kind of like the fact that Rintaro addressed the "Rider for a day, master in a minute" trope. Writers just don't have the guts to make the hero figure everything out like Kuuga did. The monsters had me looki...

I'm in the camp that Hibiki wasn't a KR series since it didn't have drivers or use any of the franchise terminology. It feels too much like generic toku only horribly written, so I pretty much do my best to ignore it ever happened. I think I'd be okay with the ending dance if they dump it by episode...

I don't know what everyone's complaining about. This is only the first episode of Kamen Rider W and... Huh? Kamen Rider SABER? OH yeah... Tōma and Mei really didn't bother me because they felt so much like Shotaro and Akiko. And Mei reminds me a lot of the editor from Fruits Basket. Was she over the...

They did a pretty good write-up of it. As the article mentions, sites like T-N won't face penalties for posting screenshots of toy ads in magazines or similar material, since it's not the entire work. A lot of other material that could have been called into question is also still legal. The only ris...

Being a parent trying to keep their child on the right path and safe from harm this year, I found Zero-One's beginnings to be almost prophetic. I'll touch on that at the end, though. The characters... So much improvement in this series. Aruto is the young boy with a non-human father who suddenly get...

I'll probably be posting more thoughts in the series thread than here, but I will say it was a great finale overall. My biggest complaint was it didn't show all of the rioting Humagear watching as Aruto changed the rules of the final battle. I feel like that moment of "what the hell are we doin...

Catastrophe's correct. Akamatsu-sensei's been the main voice of the manga-ka throughout the process and has even been on news shows discussing it. I'd read a lot of updates on his official Twitter earlier this year before I quit social media. From what I remember, the push was basically an extension...

The fact that Ghost's team is involved is (as pretty much everyone's already pointed out) a matter for concern. But I'll give it a chance because the merging of our world and a fantasy world turned out to be part of what made Gaim so great. Meggido is highly appropriate, and ties in with Judeo-Chris...

I'm really glad I waited and binge-watched the last five episodes. The sheer amount of character development was amazing. I can't get enough of Yaiba's newly-discovered personality, and will while other long-dead Humagear have been rebuilt, I honestly have to wonder if they'll have the guts to follo...
