I'll never feel like this direction with Gai is any good, but I can tolerate his presence so long as nobody starts acting buddy-buddy with him. I actually really appreciated that Aruto was the one who digs into him the most, and also him telling Gai once again that his catchphrase is stupid is prett...

This episode was a lot of fun. It's classic 'our sixth ranger learns to get along with the team' episode which I'm all for. I was never under the impression that Takamichi was the kind of sixth to continue doing his whole thing for very long, and while I did wonder to myself if we could have gone lo...

I am not a fan of anything that happened in this episode, save for the usual good action. This show has always had it's moments of sloppy writing but this episode takes the cake for me. So after Thouser deletes the incriminating evidence of his crimes that never should have been just lying in his de...

I like Naki's suit, but why does she have a proper henshin jingle? She's using a Zetsumerise Key like Ikazuchi, but his just didn't say anything in the Driver. Probably because the Japanese Wolf key was made specifically to be Naki's transformation item, as opposed to the show just using the Dodo k...

I feel like we're going to get people saying 'corvid made them rush stuff!' for a few weeks when we're clearly not at the stage where they would be the case yet. Kamen Rider Naki is introduced with the same prominence that Ikazuchi had the Ark turning evil and becoming a rider was definitely always ...

rip to Hikaru who never got to kiss his wife.

As far as sixth ranger debuts go, this one doesn't really do anything unique or different at all, but it was still done fine. Looks like they are saving things like his character and team interactions for next week. It's definitely at least flashier and more fun than RyusoulGold's first episode. I.....

It's great to have the show back with what I consider another winner of an episode. There's like a standard formula, I think, for these kind of groundhog day stories, and this episode seems to purposefully speeds past the setup, what with Tametomo immediately realising what kind of situation he is a...

People are still going on about her being pregnant? So acting like a robot without being cringy isn't acting to you? I think you can say that the show is giving her a chance to expand her range instead. I certainly didn't mean to knock her performance! It's thanks to her talent that the character is...

I'm glad they're giving a chance for Izu's actress to finally, you know, act.

I'm frankly shocked this hasn't already been done sometime in the last decade. All this nostalgia for OOO in just the last few years has been a nice surprise.

The song is nice but I actually much prefer the more dramatic instrumental version, that they first used in the first mecha fight in Episode 2. It's 50% the reason why that fight was so memorable to me! Also even if they might come off strong to the point of concerning, it's really cute to me how ea...

Well drat, I guess the show just completely forgot it's own detail about that.

This was pretty nice! A big screen adventure that gives some cool insight into not just Aruto's past and ideals, but into his father as well. I really liked how they used and referenced Ichigo with Ichi-gata, the first rider of this world, and have him passing that torch to Zero One. It's appropriat...
