Who else wants to kill Onari when he interrupted Makoto explaining what the Ganma World is? That is so cliche and annoying.

We're learning more about the Ganma, that is good.

[Kuchiri]

Why do I get a feeling when after they were done with the entire general plot of this show they realized everything they wanted to do would've taken 100 episodes which is why we are basically on fast forward.

Not that I'm complaining. I'm actually really enjoying Ghost right now.

Just asking takenoko, what is the pun you're talking about?

I get that feeling whenever he's on-screen. Luckily, everything else makes up for his awfulness!

Man, what a packed episode. I'm thinking Kuchiri may be right, and if that's the case then the next 30-something episodes are going to be jam-packed with stuff. All I could think during the episode was "This world is huge". So many new things are coming to light that this is definitely not going to be a simple "Stop them from taking over the world" series. I am excite.

Technical/Production talk:
Necrom looks badass. I saw that Eitoku is the suit actor for this one, which explains why he's been on-screen as a few of the random citizens in the past few episodes. A few of the early catalog shots of Necrom showed Eitoku's eyes through the green visor, so knowing where his eyes are in the helmet, then seeing that turbine-thing in the visor makes me wonder if Eitoku could actually go through his day blindfolded and not have any issues. I'm excited for the coming battles because the previous series where Eitoku was the "bad" rider have produced some epic fights between him and Seiji Takaiwa. Gaim v. Baron again, anybody?

On the next episode,

Spoiler

Takeru becomes the Pink Sentai ranger!

[Shipuujin]

Was surprised to see yet another Kamen Rider. Interestingly, he doesn't use a belt, but a brace. Alain was able to fight Ghost and Specter without transforming, so seeing how he got this upgrade is quite scary.

I really like the gimmick of Necrom. It has to absorb Ganma's energy in order to properly function, a bit like fuel. Seeing as how its power is on par with Boost, I guess that weakness should balance out its power.

This was another excellent episode. I wonder if there will be even more Kamen Riders in this series?

[Rifaz]

That Necrom brace... is very toy-like, does KR also have a toy line like Sentai or something? And that Necrom suit, it looks like it's based on ancient diving suit.

I wonder why I get the feeling that Alain guy might become an ally later on...

[TokuCasual]

Awesome episode. Necrom suit looks cool. His visor is neat, his color balance is good, and that ghostly phasing ability is a nice touch. Like a Necromancer, he controls the dead.

Also that theme of his, so bad ass. Onari stopping Makoto from going into some much needed details was pretty annoying. All in all though, good stuff.

[CrazyBlaze]

This was another excellent episode. I wonder if there will be even more Kamen Riders in this series?

It looks like there might be at least one more. It could just be a super mook but the shoulders look very similar to Necrom.

[Galada]

That Necrom brace... is very toy-like, does KR also have a toy line like Sentai or something?.

... Of course it does. That's why these shows exist. To sell toys. You can see it in the commercials that TV-Nihon sometimes batch with the episode.

Interesting episode..
But Akari made a mockery with science with what she did to the Eyecon fragment... hrmph

Also, I never realized Takeru never knew Alan/Alain (why the name change, by the way?)

[Lunagel]

Just asking takenoko, what is the pun you're talking about?

It's the me ga uruou /mega uruoudo

Also, I never realized Takeru never knew Alan/Alain (why the name change, by the way?)

There's a v-cinema just announced and his name was spelled Alain and I couldn't think of a good reason not to change the name except out of sheer stubbornness.

I have to say, after how much of a let down I found episode 15, this one was pretty amazing. Necrom is pretty epic (and I think the timing/energy limitation does a good job balancing out how OP he is), Makoto's character is back on track (although Akari's and Onari's sadly aren't yet), and there's some more information on the Ganma. I also like it that apparently the Eyecon interiors resemble the environments of each respective luminary (although I was kind of confused by Robin Hood's speech--how the heck is Robin Hood a better guy than the Sheriff of Nottingham that way?). Anyway, the episode was also pretty willing to take itself seriously for a series like this, and a number of new things happened with the Eyecons/forms (although I'm still not sure I want to see Ghost or anyone else standing on Houdini's back again).

I'm also liking Specter's character development more and more. It'll be pretty interesting to see where this goes.

Next episode:

Spoiler

The 15th Eyecon is revealed? Onari goes Neo? Ghost turns pink? This sounds fun!

[Sefiros]

I get the feeling that the Necrom suit will be used by other Genma beings besides Alain. Any takers?

[xanzerxiii]

Owh so his name is Alain not Alan/Aran ? Didnt really catch up on that one. Is it a silent "i" ?
