Overall a pretty solid debut, with a couple caveats. Majade's suit looks fantastic, and Rinne got some long-earned closure about her dad. The contrast of Rinne protecting Atropos with the dice guy's cold scientific fascination looks like it's going somewhere, too; Lahkseis in particular seems to hav...

I'm glad to retract the complaint about being the Golden Knight not having any street credit; looks like it's just a Souma problem. This seemed like a pretty standard episode up to the end, but what an end. The first episode gave the impression that the show's main dynamic would be the usual Kamen R...

Got around to watching and I'm not sure how much I can say much other than it certainly feels like A Garo-Style Opening, which may have been the goal after how long the hiatus was. Dark tone, horror atmosphere, some mystery, and a lot of out-of-suit fighting because fighting a MotW isn't a contest o...

He was there in Gold Storm at least (haven't seen YotM)

I hadn't seen much potential to the show at first, but I really like how it's shaping up now. Granted, Minato's turn transforms the series into a more general youth-vs-adults/society format, but if it can keep up the momentum this episode set, I'm willing to take that trade off. I also like how we'r...

Some of the releases have varied in quality, even from the same company. For me, it isn't solely about the localization, but the larger quality control--within Kamen Rider alone, the Zero-One Blu-rays used low-bitrate hardsubbed copies while the Kuuga release looks great for when it was filmed, and,...

It just occurred to me that this and the last episodes may have been the first two to show any signs of the sisters caring for each other (well, some of them, anyway--Atropos didn't seem particularly bothered by the possession sequence). I'd like them to explore a sibling dynamic some more, because ...

Weirdly, it seemed like this episode largely succeeded wherever the last one failed. The photographer and his daughter was a marked improvement from their depictions last week, Rinne realized she doesn't have to believe whatever the sisters tell her, and there's a surprising amount of character dram...

There were a lot of moments here that worked, albeit disconnected ones. Hopper half-singing along at the Christmas part should have been annoying, but having seen pet birds do that sort of thing, it was surprisingly genuine. Rinne finally unloading all that angst was a necessary scene (partly becaus...

This was pretty alright. There wasn't much wrong with it, and indicating that Dread may be fatal to Sabimaru was a good way to raise the stakes of the preexisting mind-control story. We also got the first indications of Spanner's mind being changeable, as well as a first look at Minato's bosses, who...

That was honestly well executed. The plot structure's sort of a standard darker good-guys-lose episode, but the execution makes it memorable. The candidate for Dread was an interesting surprise; there were also a couple scenes--like Dread barely stopping himself and Gotchard receiving a weapon ex ma...

Yeah, that’s what they’re referring to; they discuss how its been a while with 6 years since their last entry. Nanri-san asks about the new work, and Kuriyama-san comments that it’s been fun and he can’t wait for people to see it. They also discuss how Ryuuga’s doing; apparently he hasn’t changed a ...

Huh; not sure how they can drop her after the last series. As long as they have some explanation that isn’t “she died offscreen”?

Gold Dash's combo model: messy-but-useful CGI tool or Rider suit? Why not both? In any case, I'm surprised they managed two new suits in one episode; it helps give the impression that they're pushing these out the door as fast as they can because they want to do something different. While I'm on the...
