Re: KR Ex-Aid 06 released
Boloody fantastic this episode with Hiiro's backstory and that level 1 dance off is funny. Pacing went smoothly for me and I'm looking forward to the next episode

Re: KR Ex-Aid 06 released
Given that this is a video game theme series, they may end up getting stronger as rivals in games get stronger then get defeated by the protagonist so there's thatCatastrophe wrote:I don't want to shit the thread up with toy sale rants, but that.
I mean, if Level 3 can beat GENM and Graphite, then there doesn't need to be a reason to use the other forms, except that the level 2 forms are less gimmicky and have cleaner designs.

Re: KR Ex-Aid 06 released
Like Hiro for example. The fact that the secondary is aloof could be due to the fact that the character is a surgeon and the writes incorporated this into his character, or it could be because pretty much every secondary behaves like this to contrast to the goofy main and the writing was bad. Or you could argue with this episode that based on the fact that he messed up the rhythm thing the first time but got it the second time without practice is because he's a quick learner vs a natural gamer, or again could be attributed to the fact that the writers didn't care.takenoko wrote:Huh?

It's hard to tell and frustrating.

Re: KR Ex-Aid 06 released
I guess only hindsight and history will be able to judge.
Although the contradictions are a bit confounding. Like Brave bailing when his HP was low. Is that supposed to be a sign of his prudent/cold calculating decision making? Because you'd think surgeons wouldn't be risk adverse. You're not likely to succeed in a surgery if you don't have the confidence to believe in your own skills and to take calculated risks that are needed to save your patient.

Exactly. I want to like this show, I really do.
Hopefully it'll pick up around the 10-12 episode mark.

Not counting final/next forms, villains or collectibles, it looks pretty even so far.[/quote]
I think you misunderstand. I was replying to someone else who said that after introducing level 3, that Emu just goes straight into level 3 and has the same amount of difficulty fighting as he did in levels 1 and 2. So, introducing the new forms has no real purpose at all, if the fights are just gonna play out the same. This is a problem with a lot of Neo-Heisei, even with the good series. It just goes into DBZ Power-Creep, and it gets to a point where they make a big deal out of how strong the enemy is, and it ends up not really mattering. It's especially bad in this series that is so clearly doing it for the sake of selling toys. It's frustrating, especially with it happening so early on in the series.
I'm hoping that too, but I don't think it'll happen. Drive didn't pick up until halfway through and Ghost never got good. I've dropped the last two seasons of KR around the 12-15 episode mark because of just how they weren't picking up.Catastrophe wrote:Exactly. I want to like this show, I really do.

Re: KR Ex-Aid 06 released
Oh, yeah; I'd somehow mixed up your question with how level 1 was getting more redundant (or probably would be when the CGI budget runs out). Some of it probably still tracks back to sales (maybe to "prove" that the other gashats are, in fact, just as important to collect as the main ones since they're used so often), but without a doubt some of it's just lazy writing/DBZ, as you've said.

Re: KR Ex-Aid 06 released
I wonder if she'll get the same ending as Mack from Power Rangers Operation Overdrive. He was a robot that, once he found that out, felt he had no direction or purpose in life. In the end, thanks to the series mcguffin the Corona Aurora, he gets transformed into a real person. That should be Asuna's wish, to become a living breathing human instead of just an AI somehow manifesting in the real world.takenoko wrote:I don't think she's useless. She definitely fills in the role as exposition and support. But she is pretty flat at this point, seeing as how she doesn't have any wants or desires of her own outside of her role as Rider supporter.

The past two were Drive and Ghost, though?

Re: KR Ex-Aid 06 released
So far, Ex-Aid has the same big problem I found with Ghost, where the writers are holding so many cards close to their chest that we as the audience can't figure out anything at all. Like, who is that weird guy hanging out with Graphite? I thought he was GENM at first, but apparently it's the CEO? What's that guy doing? He just plays video games all day. It's way too vague; Drive was really upfront with the villains, and it was nice to have relateable antagonists with a clear motive. Ghost spent ages deking around giving a straight answer to anything, and now Ex-Aid feels like it's doing the same. Give me some asides with the villains where they're not just standing on rooftops and declaring how misanthropic they are, you know?
The fights are ridiculous fun, though; the Critical Finisher splashes are really cool, and I'm glad they keep doing them.

I would not be surprised. Also,we do not talk of Atlantica. I can't speak for BBS since I have not played it yet.maryadavies wrote:There's a reason they paired Brave with the rhythm game if you have; I caught it right away since I'm a HUUGE rpg lover and really into Kingdom Hearts. There are a couple of the KH series that have a rhythm game as one of the minigames (KH2 (Atlantica), Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep (HORRIBLE, EVIL ICE CREAM BEAT) and then there's the FF rhythm game I can't remember the name of atm, but then I never played it so that's understandable. I HAVE played all the KH games but Chain of Memories, however.
Maybe the writers played those!
Best episode so far! Loved it.
