GIGA sure likes the running. Oh, the kicks are back. Yes!
Ooh, I like the cape attack
That monster has one nipple. No name tag? Haha, drunken fist. Nice
LOL cheap magic wand
The commercial parodies continue to be the best
LOL. Why is this all on TV?
Heh curtsy
Huh, so the sisters never learn each other's identity? That's a bit unsatisfying
Kind of an interesting experiment this time:
+Side characters! It was kind of fun to see characters interact with their annoying family, or weirdly having their fellow students are an audience.
+I think of GIGA's toku so far, this has my favorite action. I really enjoyed all the kicks
+I think Dinnovator still has the best attempt at a story, but I appreciated the jokes in Fontaine. Like kid Fontaine showing up and just showing up Fontaine prime in every way.
+I enjoyed the commercial parodies each time. Luna pointed out that the toys get more expensive with each episode
-Side characters! Granny razor was creepy even before becoming a monster
-The acting seemed especially wooden this time? I know it's almost all wooden porn acting, but still
Overall, this was pretty good for GIGA? Next to Dinnovator, I think this is my second favorite of their series so far

Re: Fontaine 04 released
People downloaded and ran?! How dare!
Re: Fontaine 04 released
I guess I'm not feeling particularly charitable this week, because I wasn't especially impressed with this episode.
The series as a whole never really goes anywhere. Admittedly, that's nothing new for a 4 episode series. But there's not much of a plot to speak of besides the Big Bad wanting (and eventually failing) at getting his hands on the Fontaines.
I will give credit on the choreography though. The lead actress is more wooden than a sequoia, but man, she can definitely deliver the kicks. It's a shame that shorty cannot; in fact, in retrospect she doesn't really do much of anything, does she?
Some of the gags are nice. The CMs got increasingly absurd, and similarly, I like how the catchphrase about forgiveness increasingly escalated to the world, the gods, and eventually no one.
Also, I'm pretty sure this episode was filmed at one of Toei's regular quarries...
(Oh, and the poll is missing)

Re: Fontaine 04 released
Explosions always make tokusatsu better.
My latest conspiracy theory is that neither Fontaine can fight their way out of a wet paper bag and the lead girl has a stunt double who does the more difficult kicks for her.
On the other hand the drunken monkey kung fu guy did make her look credible.
Parfait is kind of emo, isn't she?
I hope they do a second arc of this where they try to fix some of the simple things. Fontaine is a magical girl, so she needs to be relatable. I liked the "I hate drunks!" line. But they need to have her beset by all sorts of problems that junior high school girls can relate to, like a monster trying to make her eat food she doesn't like, or monsters who want to rip up her homework. The fighting is what it is. Neither Fontaine can fight nor could you teach them, so Fontaine should rely on disguises and magical tricks more. Also, concentrate on the teacher and the school more. Also have an idol audition episode, even though neither Fontaine can sing or dance.
Overall, I liked this, but not as much as Dinnovator.

Re: Fontaine 04 released
Oh she definitely has a stunt double that's used at times. They aren't very good about hiding that. But there are also scenes where she's doing some of the fighting and her face is clearly visible. So they aren't using a stuntie for everything.

Re: Fontaine 04 released
Yeah, GIGA in particular is bad with the finales. "All the fun's over, gotta wrap things up". That's why the quality in a lot of media tends to be frontloaded
Whoops, poll added. It's your duty to vote!
I'll add this to the main GIGA poll, but for funsies. The average rating per series from lowest to highest:
Kougaiga: 3.5/5
Wakusaver: 3.59/5
Dinnovator: 4.215/5
Wakusaver Season 2: 4.375/5
Where will Fontaine land?
(Also someone pointed out Fontaine is spelled wrong on the tracker. I blame making one mistake and autocomplete!)

Re: Fontaine 04 released
So what’s the point of the porn ep than? If Fontaine’s identity is exposed she will turn into a pig. So shoukdn’t she just become a pig during the torturing scene?

Re: Fontaine 04 released
You may have put more thought into this series than Giga has. (lol)
Maybe the pr0n will be before big evil wants to expose their identity? Or, maybe the pr0n will be totally AU? Or, maybe they will just pass on the pr0n and kick out another arc?
It does seem that they have painted themselves into a corner.

Re: Fontaine 04 released
Kamen Rider and Super Sentai became boring without the TV Nihon subs.
Oh, wait. That wasn't the topic.
The GIGA shows are fun to watch and they are improving for every series they are creating. I am aware they may be working on a tight budget however they should invest a little more in storytelling and character development. Their action sequences are getting better and they should really "complete" their series so people are not kept hanging.
