Emu sucks until he starts getting sick of this poo poo
Hiiro sucks until he learns the hu-man concept of emotions
Taiga sucks until he becomes half of Team Rocket

After you reach Christmas you should watch the 3 part video on him. There’s technically a fourth part yet to be released, but it looks like it’s largely just bridging events before the show started with the first episode.

It puts his dickish desire to be the only Rider into better perspective.

A lot of Ex-Aid is based around seeing how a bunch of assholes are given power and slowly but surely become better people. Even Emu himself is 50% an rear end. The nicest Rider gets her powers while brainwashed and evil too, as if to prove the point.

The only exception is Neo Dan Kuroto God because he's already perfect so he doesn't need to improve in any way whatsoever. And even there we're shown nicer sides to him once he becomes good.

he's farther in than I am.

So far, I've been introduced to a bunch of people I can't remember their names. Except for Taiga cuz he a bitch. The genius doctor dude is kind of an rear end in a top hat but his seems justified because everyone around him is either batshit or inherently existential crisis inducing. The newbie doc seems nice enough but is probably a mass murderer given my experiences with kamen rider.

Overall, its a super different vibe, closer to Ultraman than Agito or 555. The bright action scenes are almost overwhelming but they're well choreographed to look visually pleasing. The belts are very funky and I'll surprised if they don't do a gag where the belts get stuck on stuff.

There's usually one "rival" in a lot of the post Agito shows. Some of them become full-on secondary riders, some become anti-heroes, and some are just dicks until the day they die.

From my limited understanding, Shadow Moon in KR Black is like the Evil Green Ranger of KR. No longer the best example of his breed, but once was popular enough that they keep trying to chase that high over and over again.

Edit: Speaking of things a Power Rangers fan would note, pay enough attention to Kiriya and you'll see he has a thing for "JDF kicks" if you know what I mean. It becomes part of his transformation routine and in his most badass moment they even slow-mo it.

I'm pretty chill, unless there's nazis or racists about.

Anyway, I got to episode 48 on Agito and decided it was too much of a slog to continue. I'll spoiler my thoughts:


Houjou is a bastard and I'm upset he's still alive.
The fact the police unit thinks Hikawa is field capable despite showing all the signs of CTE is equally maddening. But he's very manly!
Ryou seems to be the only relatively normal person dealing with his batshit body.
Shouichi, something's not right with that boy.
Kino was a dick, I'm glad he's dead. Motherfucker you climbed a goddamn arctic mountain and froze to neardeath. Your pain is completely self inflicted, ease off the douchebag.
The YingYang twins battle is pretty nonsensical to me. If they're capable of moving stars and poo poo, why are they wasting their time making monsters and riders?


The tonal shift from Agito to ExAid was pretty welcome. Still not a huge fan of the suits because there's not enough armor. Watching them move around in the Level 1 armor is pretty cool tho.

Episode 6: DOREMI BRAVE :swoon:

The thing about Ex-Aid before 30 or so that kind of annoyed me (and thankfully Build is balancing it out better) is that Monsters Of The Week are so secondary to the drama of fighting the weekly villainous heavyweight.

But episode 6’s monster is as good as a generic monster can get for being so chill. When Graphite and Black Mighty X declare the battle over, the monster’s casual peace-we-out is to point with both hands and utter, “Yo.”
It’s :perfect:

Thank you for trying. I intentionally avoid scans, just because I like not knowing what poo poo looks like (although that was probably the most predictable one ever.)

I used to check 'em out all the time, but I've learned that part of the reason none of these shows can seem as good as the ones in my youth is because I didn't know that I was due for the rangers to whip out something new.

Yes, with the partial exception of if they had a human-looking form to begin with. But then they would get a different human form, too :ohdear:
