I forget, what happened in gaim 14? e: nvm I think I remember.

Also last night I saw a Paradise Lost clip where a dude in a jar gets plain executed by a dropped weight, so.

I should catch up on that, the first ep was decently fun and I've heard mostly good things from the few people that are watching it.

I could see that vote being mainly about the actor rather than character based on the top 3, but he's a nice guy who gets an actual job, which probably puts him above a good chunk of a lineup that includes wanderer, hobo, maybe-dead laundryman, cat detective, etc.

best matches are important somehow and sento wasn't willing to go through every possible combination in that wall thingy each time he got a new bottle. instead, he probably spent way more time theorizing about how to calculate best matches rather than spend a few minutes plugging pieces of plastic into a wall.

The fullbottles also have their Best Match letters printed on them. :shepface: that's a toy thing, but still.

Kid (who through machine tl I believe will be a game rival of Nico's in the V-cinema) looks like he fell right out of the 80s.

I just became aware of Girls in Trouble, and purely based on the trailer:

This ep really had the cast as a whole click with me, so I'm pretty confident going forward. Ryuuga gets a little tiring when he doesn't have anything to do but complain in the background though. That'll probably be dealt with next ep, and he's obviously not the type to be fine sitting around all day, but having him clobbering sento could get goofy if it keeps happening despite their interests being so intertwined to begin with.

I really liked Ex-aid in the end, but it takes a bit to get going. Though I'd probably be more charitable to the early episodes now that I know it succeeds at developing and endearing you to those goofy and/or rear end in a top hat doctors.

It's not surprising, though we know Rogue answers to someone else now. Speaking of revelations, I'll be impressed if they go all-in on Sento being a lovely dude in his previous life. I can see ways they could walk back the degree of Takumi's involvement in the Nebula Gas experiments, but even that still leaves the probable body-swap thing.

Yeah I found the designs odd when they were first revealed, but I warmed to them a lot over the show. Though I've always been receptive to the goofier rider designs.

i think all their belts did was make their memories less addictive? though obviously they had enough problems aside from the drug metaphor that it didn't matter much.

That and not affecting your constitution. Using purified/filtered memories by way of drivers is how you don't eventually end up like weather when you get your rear end kicked.

I think a decent number of Riders have women in good secondary character roles, but yeah, it's not great on the whole with stuff like most female Riders and Kabuto/Wizard/etc.

The (modern) Sentai formula inherently means there's gonna be 1-2 women who get focus eps, but then I remember the weird comments about Kyoryuger (correct me if those were fake net crap).

Craptacular! posted:

With Rider, you have the problem of the show having such boy-oriented theming from the start. It's hard to make a female character with femininity who also rides dirt bikes and kicks giant spiders and bats in the face. It's not to say you couldn't do it, but it would wind up being like that mock comic of a "Strong Female Character" because you'd basically just make another prototypical Rider protagonist from the mold we all know but it just happens to be a woman.

I don't think that really follows or would be an issue. Plus that basically describes any female sentai member on a team with bikes.

Cipher Pol 9 posted:

I get where you're coming from, but I would be fine with that. Plus, a character can do all that and still be feminine out of battle if they want to. Their gender doesn't have to be the crux of their character. For example, the entire cast of Ex-Aid could have been gender swapped and the story wouldn't have had to change a step for it since none of their stories or personalities relied on them being male/female.

Hell, making a character like that would still be a step forward for Japan in some ways.

Yeah, imagine a show, or a genre, even, about women transforming to fight bad guys. You could even make it for kids like toku. :thunk:


e: wait that wasn't even the point of that comic, it was them being superficially cool and strong but still goofily hypersexualized and written such that their lives revolve around depending on and drawing the attention of guys

Caught up with Build. Man, it's almost funny how often they're having Owner do awful things just to hammer out any chance of redemption. Most I see at this point is sacrificing himself for Misora while momentarily fighting off his Box madness or something.

And considering Nabeshima, I wonder if the katsuragi deal is considered "shut", or if Sento will have to deal with those memories/personality bubbling back at some point. Doubt the PM will have stopped trying at least (though he evidently doesn't know about his defection).
