TV-Nihon

Thanks TVN!
So Mio's gonna hang around for awhile, until she's revealed to be one of 'em monsters.

Best part was obviously Otoya in drag, with Jirou saying "I was too disgusted to help you." or something. Since Otoya's stealing the show too much. I'm hoping for an entire episode set in the 80s. If only the producers realized that Kohei plays a better main character than Seto.

She still look's as good as ever!

Spoiler

I LoL at Otoya this epsiode, not only did he fall for a obvious golddigger, he dresses up in a 250,000 yen dress.

Poor Jirou, got rejected

She happens to be my age too...

feh, you only say that because Seto-Sama plays an introverted character rather than a flirtatious, overly-extroverted asshole like Kohei-San plays. I personally preffer the character Wataru over his father. his father's the type of guy I think make our gender look bad. there need to be more real people like Wataru...

I totally agree with that, Zenacra!

Kohei Takeda as lead instead of Koji? Never ... excuse me, but Otoya still annoys the hell out of me and the past feels like watching a cheap soap-opera. I mean, how many episodes are Otoya and Jirou now fighting over either Yuri or IXA, and nothing really new happened in the action department or story wise? It´s not good to see IXA covering in dust. An entire episode set in 1989? The Date-episode was already a sample and the long past-part for me on the edge of utter boredom. So many stupid antics. The date in the present was really cute compared to that with these 3 totally different boys so suddenly and more or less unwillingly thrown together with 3 girls. It even brought us something new: A girlfriend for Wataru.

Maya is the only one bringing action in the past now and I would like to see more of her, Rikki and Ramon, rather than this endless quarrel of these two alpha-males there. I think we already got that Otoya and Jirou are rivals, really no need to drag it out for over half of the show.

At this point, I would so prefer a mother/son story a lot over the father/son one, because these two are a lot more intersting and mysterious. Wataru is awesome, he has to be the most adorable rider in history. <3 Yes, I prefer shy guys with brains over arrogant (wannabe-) womanizer too.

The little romance between Wataru and Mio is great! <3 I wish it would be possible for Otoya to learn a lesson from his son about how to treat a girl.

That's an odd thing to say...

Anyway, Otoya's not that bad. He's not a misogynist or anything and based on the facts presented before us, he treats women quite well. I like the fact that he plays by he's a free spirit that plays by his own rules, at the same time he's not judgmental.

So I was thinking, if Otoya has taken the main character spot from Wataru, Kengo taken the best bud spot from Nago, does that mean Mio has taken the present day female lead spot from Megumi? I like Megumi's character, but Mio's had a lot more characterization in two episodes than Megumi has in the whole series. I like her character, yet it seems unfair since she was the lead in Faiz too

I think you're onto something with the replacing there Take.

Well, I'm half joking, but it seems true doesn't it? Even though they're starting to fix Nago, I imagine sooner or later Kengo will get IXA and the main story will focus on Wataru, Kengo, and Mio. Maybe Kengo and Wataru will fight over her, that'd be neat!

So Wataru is seeking out his mom, lol. All he needs to do now is kill his dad to be Oedipus

So it's a mother's complex than an Oedipus complex, same difference

Nice to see the return of Dogga Hammer with it's all seeing eye. Good episode Mio really looked good in that dress she picked out, also loved the scenes with Otoya doing manual labor even if it was for a gold digger. Ah Nago always the downer with everything but now he has a girl that's developed a crush on him that's certainly to make for good times. I'm surprised that it took this long for the Chameleon Fangire to be killed you'd think if the guy is in the same shop and doing the exact same thing for all these years, the company that made Ixa and hunts down the Fangires would have taken care of him, but i guess making a radar system for Ixa is way beyond their capabilities.
