Kamen Rider Ex-Aid Episode 3 –BANG, That Jerk is Coming! - Live Reaction!

Warning! Spoilers!

Opening is growing on me, but still not my favorite.

Also, I find it amusing that in universe, the Bugster virus is outright called a 'Gaming Sickness'.

The episode opens with Emu checking on a young boy named Yuuki who...decidedly does not like doctors and runs off, even when Emu tries using video games to get him to open up, at which point the boy runs off. Victim of the week?

One of the reasons why I love Kamen Rider

Kamen Rider: Equestria just went live.
oi.
I'm a bit nervous. I want to have a finished story for once, and more importantly I want to succeed for once. I really hate failing. AS a kid, I even tended to not try to avoid looking unintelligent. That's not what I want to be. I want to be a writer, a job that requires a lot of self-motivation and focus. And to do that, I need practice.

So beginning in October, the next Kamen Rider premieres: Kamen Rider Ex-Aid.

The theme for Ex-Aid is retro gaming.

I don't know whether to be intrigued, terrified, or . But that entire design makes me ...

Kamen Rider belongs to Toei Productions.

That henshin sound. Sound like a shark out f water

Kamen Rider Ex-Aid Episode 5 – Crash! All Gathered! Live Reaction.

Warning! Spoilers!

The episode begins with Pallad commenting that they have 'all the players' and can 'begin playtesting'. Graphite is angry and just wants to kill the Riders and take over, but Pallad comments you 'can't force a puzzle open'.

I do wonder if either of these guys is the Big Bad. It seems Pallad is calling the shots, but I'm not sure.

Kamen Rider Ex-Aid Episode 6 – Feel the Beat In The Heart Live Reaction

The episode begins with Kuroto Dan, the president of Genmu (and Kamen Rider Genmu), allowing Emu to keep his Gekitotsu Robots Gashat because he 'won it fair and square' and they'll likely need it.

Emu shows he's still a doctor and decides to go see if he can find the victim the Bugster he destroyed came from. I like Emu for this: he's an intern, yes, but he's STILL a doctor and he's dedicated to that.

Kamen Rider Ex-Aid Episode 8 Live Reaction – Gentleman, Fly High!

This episode has a special edition opening for the Movie War. I still can't believe the Big Bad of the Movie War is literally Pacman. If this is the first you've heard of that, I'm not joking. The villain is LITERALLY someone wielding the power of Pacman. That's the kind of crazy awesome only Japan is capable of.

Kamen rider Ex-Aid Episode 7 – The Reason for Some Lies Live Reaction

One thing I do admit is kinda annoying about this series is that they often don't actually mention the name of the Bugster of the week in the episode. But for reference: the Bugsters that use the Gashats are called Collabos Bugsters.

Kamen Rider Ex-Aid Episode 4 –An Operation Called Dash! Live Reaction!

I've talked about the intro SONG, but I think now I'll comment on the visuals: it definitely fits the video game digital theme the series is going for. I like it. Just the theme itself will take time to grow on me.

The episode begins with a young woman giving her big brother, a doctor, a launch...while Graphite watches.

Kamen Rider Ex-Aid Episode 2- Two Geniuses? No Thank You! Live Reaction.

Warning! This will contain spoilers!

First off, the theme song...I admit not my favorite Rider theme. It's not BAD, mind you, just not my favorite. I think it's just the style. The VISUALS however are definitely cool.

So I just watched the first two episodes of Kamen Rider Ghost.

Gonna be brutally honest:

I hate it.

I hate the protagonist. I hate the supporting characters. I hate the annoying mascot. I hate that godawful eyesore of a Driver Belt. I hate the Ghost costumes. Three different Ghost costumes in two episodes and I hate all of them. This Rider is just really badly designed.

There honestly is not a single damn thing I like about Kamen Rider Ghost.

Zero-One may be a huge dingus right out the gate, but his Driver comes with a user manual and a tutorial mode and I am immensely pleased by this.

Sonata's ankles better watch the fuck out

I'm massively behind on tokusatsu for various reasons, and we're up to what, episode 13 of Ex-Aid having aired? I'm just now getting started on it. I dragged my feet on it because of the weird-ass Rider suit design(s). I should really know better by now.

Some brief thoughts follow. (Note: As of this blog post, I've watched through episode five of Ex-Aid. Please be mindful of posting spoilers in the comments.)

Kamen Rider Amazons Episode 2

WARNING! SPOILERS! THIS IS A LIVE REACTION/INDEPTH REVIEW!

The episode begins where the last one left off, with Haruka transforming into Omega's incomplete form and entering the fray. An interesting thing now that we get a look at his transformed state, while he doesn't look as much like him as Alpha, Omega DOES resemble the original Amazon a good bit.
