Re: Wakusaver 01 released

Suits look nice and some of the special effects are better than what I was expecting. Everything else is a bit meh but given the runtime it'll be fine.

Re: KR Saber 34 released

What.

Why.

What????

Not sure what just happened here. Yuuri is gone just like that and Luna is back. WHY IS TOUMA "THE CHOSEN ONE"????

Sabela being sneaky/eavesdropping was nice, fits with her Rider powers.

Re: KR Saber 33 released

Oh hey, Ren wasn't terrible for once. In theory Ren could beat Sabela, but with Ren having very little combat strategy and at half strength, he wasn't going to win. I hope the Ren/Desast subplot has a worthwhile conclusion. It has good potential, but I don't trust the writers. Kento is being real de...

Re: KR Saber 32 released

I'm like hte opposite. I think most of my favorite Riders are second Riders. The main Riders tend to be fine, but kind of one-dimensional generic white bread heroes. The secondary Rider is where you get more nuance. I swear, I'm not trying to be edgy! Main riders have generally been on the "sa...

Re: KR Saber 32 released

Sabela is starting to doubt Master Logos, but at best she'll "confront" him and get killed off. There's no way she'll betray him and go with Northern Base. Rintarou has come full circle from blindly following his "family" to trusting his own convictions and protecting what he tru...

Re: KR Saber 31 released

Watched 30 & 31 together and it felt better that way as opposed to 30 and then 31. Even so it doesn't make Rintarou's whining any easier to stomach. I get why it's happening, but that doesn't mean I like the execution. I wish there was more depth to it as opposed to either being completely withd...

Re: KR Saber 29 released

Durandal was exciting at first and then he went downhill quickly. Being able to distort space is a powerful ability but he didn't use it effectively. Why didn't he just strike down Rintarou before Touma could transform? Or for that matter why not just strike Touma as he's trying to transform? It's n...

Re: KR Saber 28 released

I don't mind the clip show too much. A lot of early Saber has been rendered somewhat useless so a small reminder of what is important is nice. The downside is that Saber's plot isn't too deep so it shouldn't need a clip show. At least it wasn't the entire episode so I hope that's an acknowledgment f...

Re: Zenkaiger 03 released

Man the CGI really stood out in this episode and it most certainly was not in a good way. I'm not sure what to make of Zenkaiger. I'm indifferent about it but at least I'm entertained.

Re: KR Saber 27 released

This episode really rides off the coattails of the last few episodes. The resolution with the boy is a bit lackluster even though I don't mind Touma's reasoning since it's a nice contrast to Kento's current mindset of the future unable to be rewritten. It makes me wonder how exactly the future where...

Re: Zenkaiger 02 released

I wonder if Gaon would have said yes immediately if they offered to pay him in either getting Gaon a pet, or by letting him pet Kaito. Probably would have said yes.

Re: KR Saber 26 released

This episode is a brilliant execution of "show, don't tell". It's one thing for Kento to verbally describe the different futures he saw and how many options he tried before coming to this one. It's powerful for sure, but monologuing can be boring at times. There's a time for monologuing an...

Re: KR Saber 25 released

LOL. How long did that binge take? I imagine it's quite interesting to go through it so shortly A day? It was the weekend so I had time. I kept skipping the Tassel intros/outros until episode 20 or so which saved time. I think the thing that sticks out the most is how stupid the infighting was and ...

Re: KR Saber 25 released

I've binged watched Saber 1-25 and my god this series is completely different from what was going on originally. The pacing slowed down a lot, power-ups became less sporadic (although still way too many overall) and the writing has improved. That doesn't mean the show is good, just that it's trendin...

Re: KR Zero-One 17 released

The whole job competition seems rather silly if they're not going to broadcast it on live television. I feel it'd be up Gai's alley to publicly humiliate Aruto and have everyone see it. Not to mention each victory would do wonders for Zaiaspec sales (ideally). Yaiba being MC for this is kinda insult...
