I don't disagree, really, but think about this instead: it's really cool and dropping parts on combinations is dumb and bad.

I figured that was exactly what Bandai had in mind when they selected the 4 post interlock design. IMO its pretty cool they give that kinda freedoms to kids. Most of their other toylines are all unitransformable stuff.

Okay now that Treagar has been beat up what threat will appear strong enough to challenge Tri-Strium Taiga? Going cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs is not how I envisioned he'd take the defeat, I thought he'd just shrug his shoulders and try something else, like reviving Belial or something Goddamn I love the TriBlade, it reminds me of all the toys I had in childhood that had rotating flint wheels, I wound up wearing out all the sparklers in every toy that had them, which was usually space guns of some sort. All it needs is something to shoot tiny plastic coins / disks (you'll put yer eye out kid!) to complete the nostalgia.

This makes him IIRC the third Kamen Rider character who's using the new face-scan tech for a Figuarts, alongside Takeshi Hongo and Dan Kuroto. There's also Dan Moroboshi but he's not a Rider, he's Ultraseven.

Once an episode finishes 'premiering,' you can set double translation, like from Chinese to auto-translate English. The results are pretty terrible with either Chinese or Japanese, especially compared to the polished GenmCorp version, but at least you can follow the story. I wonder what's up with those guys, probably focusing on Kamen Rider for now.. BTW, yesterday was Susumu Kurobe's 80th birthday!

My only exposure to OOO was Heisei Generations Final and it makes OOO and his bird buddy seem very, very gay. I'll try to correct that with a watchthrough of it as soon as I can, but I'm on a Star Trek kick right now.

01 episode 08 I love this series. Let me go over all the stuff I liked Consequences! From Yua running around with a mitella to running with a bad arm while transformed. As a result the villains actually look threatening. (You paying attention Wizard writer?) Isamu apparently hiding his laugh so well that the Aruto's aid didn't detect his smile. Triple Henshin already.  What a glorious mess of special effects. Nice positioning of the heroes as well.Loved the grasshopper crushing the bird much to the distress of Jin. I loved Jin a lot anyway, I like his running gleeful commentary of everything that's happening. Horobi is properly menacing with an awesome finisher. Not too long ago we talked about the physicality of stuff like belts in rider shows. I like how they're currently doing that as well in this series. Most weapons and the progrise keys have to be carried into battle for them to have access to it. Which in turn allows fun stuff like last episode where Isamu steals Aruto's sword from his aid. But now also the way Horobi and Jin got their weapons. They stole them and carried them into battle. Asumi didn't bring the shotgun, so he couldn't use it. But also the way that Aruto's aid was doing an Ankh and providing Aruto with the keys in the order that he needed them. Preview I wonder if Isamu will get some cybernetic parts. With the current theme and the preview it seems like something they would be going for. There's also this weird parallel where Asumi forces his Keys to open before using them, while Jin and Horobi use forcerisers to open them.

That first thing is almost certainly going to happen. Presumably this would be the start of development for him if he gets machine parts put inside of him too, or at least has his life saved by Humagears. Plus I mean, I'd think some augmentation would be necessary after you get kicked through the neck.

All that OOO stuff looks aces. Zero-One Sodo hitting this week. Looking forward to that. Digression. I finished Jetman. Ended up hating it. Spoilers for an old show:
The Good: I'm glad I watched it, but it could have been six episodes, and nothing of value would have been lost. Not at all up to it's reputation. Failson fucked around with this message at 17:54 on Oct 24, 2019 |

Haven't watched that season but the more I hear of it, more I am thinking getting the collection was not worth it. An assumption on my part, but maybe it gets more credit than is due because it looks kind of like Gachaman but got really dark at points? I know my own interest in it was because I once fanfictioned a Sentai team and my result was basically "ToQger but with airplanes instead of trains".

The only really notable bit of Jetman that makes me glad I watched it is when Gai cheats at roulette by having a giant robot tilt the casino. Otherwise, it was just kinda a slog for me that never paid off.

It's interesting having the perspective, and I hope we continue to get earlier seasons (Bioman has been recommend to me as one of, if not the best of all). For personal watching, Ohranger is up next if I keep on chronologically. I know it's reputation, so I'm not expecting much.

I mean, I enjoy all three seasons of Inoue Rider a great deal (even if they range from "insanely stupid but amusingly so" to "wtf, Inoue" in large amounts), went in hoping for some of that, and I still found Jetman impossible to enjoy, so...
