kamen rider REVIEW!!!

i was gonna do this on twitter but twitter is dead now. anyway i decided when i finished ryuki i would review every kr i’ve watched so far so here it is. no spoilers (i think) but it is fucking long. 

build - i can’t believe it’s been 5 years since i watched build… i miss her so bad every day… but also build had a lot things that i couldn’t stand. however the yaoi was really fucking good. also build is pretty strong overall despite it all. we need that energy back for kamen rider so bad but all they do now is try to sell toys. i really like sento as a protagonist because he’s so funny and quirky but also not like the usual kr protagonist who is stupid. i mean he is still stupid but in a different way. banjou is more like the protagonist type but he is actually just sento’s boyfriend. love wins. my thing about build is that i didnt care about kazumi or gentoku or katsuragi or any of the other men (evolt can stay #sexy). so sometimes i was sitting there like oh my god. enough. also the way they nerfed sawa and misora pissed me off. but that final episode hit hard enough that i forgave all the shit the last 10 or so episodes put me through. which is true of a lot of kamen riders like if they hit that ending it’s like all is forgiven baby!!! but anyway i love build. i miss her. i love her. 

ooo - i got so obsessed with ooo that 5 years ago i was in a college english class and they asked me what my favorite tv show was and i said kamen rider ooo. right there in front of everyone. ms. kobayashi really got me with that one! everyone has already said this but the relationship between ankh and eiji is so interesting both on a yaoi level and a psychological level… the human won’t let himself want anything and the monster whose existence is all about wanting things. and they’re in love. wow! the whole ooo cast is great though and i think it’s so cute that the actors still interact 10+ years later. i love hina so much… i love gotou and date and satonaka. i miss them. i’m sorry that ooo 10th was like that but i will forgive them. i guess. i think ooo’s one weakness is that the monster of the week episodes were kinda boring. like bro i don’t care about this guy getting back into wrestling what about ankh’s existential crisis!!!! but it’s ok we all have our flaws. i love you ooo. 

ex-aid - i THINK i watched ex-aid after ooo but honestly i don’t remember? wild that i went from ooo to ex-aid actually. ex-aid is a deeply controversial work because it sucks so bad but it’s also really fucking funny. but also sometimes it really is unwatchable like i tried to watch a couple of the first few episodes with eri and i was like this is horrible i’m being tortured but then when i think about parad i get hysterical. the duality of ex-aid. I think a lot of ex-aid is not very good. and yet it has something… some kind of power that makes me tell people to watch it and then they’re like this sucks and i’m like yeah! (this has happened 2 times.) but i do like ex-aid despite the fact that it’s really loud and annoying and the camera angles are weird and the belt noises are insufferable. it’s funny. i think the idea of gamer doctors fighting to the death(?) is hilarious. it definitely impacted me that’s for sure. there’ll never be another one like it… despite takahashi doing multiple krs since then (mistake). ex-aid is the demon that haunts me.

w - i think i’ve actually forgotten a good chunk of what actually happened in w but it was good. it was solid. philip and shotaro and akiko found family baby!!! and w made me tolerate a cop so that’s something. i really have nothing else to say here. ok actually w totally fell apart when it killed off the sonozakis and brought in that weird-ass doctor and that random villain who showed up at the end but philip and shotaro carried it… for me. and akiko of course she was everything to me. also again the final episode made me forgive everything because it was like they’re reunited!!! (sobbing and screaming and crying) 

fourze - for a while i didn’t hype up fourze that much because of the american high school aesthetic, which is actually really funny but not exactly my taste. but gentaro truly is a wonderful good boy. he loves his friends PERIOD. also ryusei was really funny because everyone else was like some kind of american teen drama trope (the goth girl, the jock, the cheerleader, etc.) and then there was ryusei who was like two-faced bitch alert! i love that. also kengo and gentaro were in love so there was #yaoi. that one episode where kengo was mad bc ryusei and gentaro were getting along and he was so jealous i cried. i would give anything for another kr as good as fourze tbh. 

den-o - when i first started kamen rider i was like i’m not watching that old shit (pre-neo heisei) but then i was like ok i will give den-o a chance because it was written by ms. kobayashi… and it was good. it was really fucking good. like there’s not a lot of crazy shit it’s mostly just funny shenanigans with the imagins and ryoutarou’s hard knock life but you still feel emotional about it all… ms. kobayashi’s genius. her range. even though the plot makes absolutely no fucking sense i think it’s fine. it’s about the feelings. the bonds. and also trains. 

ryuki - so after not watching kamen rider for 4-5 years i started watching ryuki with lain because they put it on tokushoutsu. and wow was i not prepared for whatever that was! i don’t think there is a way to prepare yourself for ryuki actually. but i will say that ms. kobayashi once again impacted me with her talent. her ability to create so many weird and mentally ill men… i’m obsessed. also i love shinji so much he is just an silly little dogboy who is being forced to confront the trolley problem and also fight to the death. why did she do all that to him? also why did she give kitaoka a beautiful and perfect malewife? why did she make asakura so sexy? why did she make tojo like that? why can’t ren be nice to shinji just a little? i have a lot of questions and no answers. there was never a dull moment with ryuki bc there was always some shit going on. every single guy was fascinating except the ones that were meant to be annoying as hell. and the ensemble cast of yui and ore journal and aunt sanako… love them. they are all so funny and iconic. i wish i could say more but i would spoil it. ms. kobayashi’s wild ride. as you can see ryuki has left me incoherent. i will not recover from what ryuki did to me. gen urobuchi you will never be her. 

blade - i started watching blade while also watching ryuki to prevent myself from looking up spoilers but it didn’t work. anyway the point is i watched all of blade while also watching ryuki with lain. it was interesting to watch them at the same time bc toward the end blade started copying ryuki so hard with the battle royale shit it was like ok girl i guess! blade is interesting bc a lot of krs have a strong start and then go off the fucking rails but blade is the opposite. it starts off like what the fuck is all this now then at the very end it’s like ohhh it’s about how the love was there all along. bring out the yaoi. i think at least 30 episodes of blade are complete nonsense like you will be sitting there like um okay i guess? but it’s worth it for the shakespearean gay tragedy of kenzaki/hajime. i can’t say i really liked mutsuki or tachibana but toward the end i started finding them really funny like i couldn’t really be mad because tachibana is so pathetic you just have to chuckle and mutuski has teenager disease. although it was tiring watching them both be assholes to their beautiful girlfriends for so long like ok can we get back to how in love kenzaki is with hajime PLEASE. but oh well. we can’t have everything!

if you actually read all of this thank you. i have so much to say and yet my brain is very small… i will continue making my poor quality videos to show my respect however. kamen rider the world. 

[doomednarrative]

Still thinking about the OOO 10th movie after watching it on friday night and I think I've narrowed down my biggest critique with it (spoilers ahead obviously for those who havent seen it):

I think what kills me the most about the decision to kill Eiji off is that it's literally defying the very logic that they set up in the main series for how possession and healing a dying body with it work.

I like to read TVTropes just for fun sometimes when I'm bored and they make this point on Eiji's page in regards to how things go down in the movie:

But here's the thing: It literally didnt have to be that way. We see even Ankh's spirit, something he shouldn't be able to have but is granted due to how he helps Eiji out in the end of the series, following Eiji around while he travels to look for a way to bring him back. Eiji might not know hes there, but he is either way. Eiji's spirit is Clearly still hanging on enough that he's able to say goodbye to everyone in the end, and he is the one who pushes Ankh out of his body. That alone tells me he's there enough that he could have possibly been saved, had the writers wanted to go that way. (Also after all that time you cannot tell me it'd be that fuckin easy for Eiji to push Ankh out like that, I don't believe that for a second.)

It also would have been so much more Thematically fitting and a good way to bring things full circle if they had ended it on the note of "Ankh will possess Eiji until he's able to heal the same way he did for Shingo" because their relationship has Always worked on some level of give and take. Eiji spent a fuckin decade trying so hard to bring Ankh back, and after all that time I'd like to think (especially with how he reacts to Goda taking Eiji's body) that Ankh would care enough to try and help him to heal. It would be such a full circle and much more hopeful ending to everything, which was The Whole Point of the end of the original series too.

It just rubs me the wrong way to kill Eiji off in this way after how hard he fought to actually have something to Want to live for again. His promise was Always "a future that we can both live in together," not "one where I go so Ankh can stay." It makes no sense to kill him off like this when you could have very well given them their Actual hopeful decent ending, and it just rings hollow in the end.

Personally I chose to view this as some bad end timeline as a result of time fuckery from other series stuff but thats just me. It just sucks cause there Is concepts from the movie I like (Tajador Eternity fucks so hard and it gave Ankh his own body back too which is nice, and the Concept of Goda and Eiji being possessed by someone else Is actually a fun one for Ankh to deal with too) but that ending just sours the whole thing in the end.

I’m not sure if I even liked this movie, but god damn do I live for this kind of yugioh nonsense.

[kabutoraiger]

oh my!

[maki-ryota]

[itsjustmyunpopularopinion]

ARE YOU ACTUALLY FUCKING KIDDING ME!?

THAT’S HOW OOO ENDS? AFTER 10 GODDAMN YEARS?

I mean, props to the writers to actually decide “Hey, let’s take this Main Rider and just fucking kill him off on his 10th anniversary.”

I mean, yes, Eiji sacrificing his own life to bring Ankh back is very much in character, BUT STILL. THAT DOESN’T MEAN I HAVE TO LIKE IT OR AGREE WITH IT.

[attickit]

And I am back in the ooos tag just to say congratulations to Mr Watanabe for the marvelous acting as Goda cause wow heck it gave me the real creeps. Already felt the difference of him from actual Eiji right at the start of the movie. There was just this off-ness that was well done but MAAAAAAAAAAAAN Goda going right back into "playing/acting as/being Eiji" after the reveal was perfect of Shu's end. Couldn't get rid that discomfort from my spine each time.

I do not want to think about the ending. Thanks.

[stingyslegslookweird]

watched the OOO vcin. now i’m sad.

;-;

[r4bbitdragon]

orbits around what im hearing of ooo 10th. vague spoilers i guess. i have not seen it and am not sure when i will so dont come at me with specific spoilers

so like whenever ooo’s final form pointless argument comes around i end up saying something along the lines of ‘i think putotyra makes sense for eiji’s final form, but i get why tajador is more satisfying’.

ooo belives that to be void of desire is to desire the void. putotyra representing a desire for nothingness and the end and. yeah, that Is true of eiji. that fits him. its sad but im not sure there’s... Really a counterargument

but you do want tajador to be that counterargument. the other option, reaching out to his bonds, and through them what should be life, with this phoenix of a form. and for a shining moment at the end, it is given the room to trump the above.

so. yknow. people are really attached to their not-a-final-form being the final form. i get it

[sastheforestspirit]

the part 4!

because I can't stop thinking about my fix it, but I need some details so I have to finish it one day

part 1 part 3 part3a

SOMEHOW

is this new footage or old because I can't remeber?

oh its new, its Burakawani combo. (I had to check I didnt remeber obviously)

pffft... somehow,.. okay this is getting boring

Ohhh so its timey woogly boogly thing I get it (she nods her head as she continues to dont get it) this is lvl of writing of 15 yo help

sobbing, crying, this is my Eiji kun. This is my boy, getting up over and over I wanted to see my Eiji not some asshole.

This is the good part of this movie, but why it has to be Eiji being murdered. I mean. He shoudnt surivie this. I mean, he shoudnt even be able to speak after this.

This part was so much Eiji like, and he got killed, that okay I got tears in my eyes for a moment. And of course the girl is wearing the white dress, our little baby angel. And this theme. This fucking theme. That gets you all

This scene would be so much better if Hina just said "we saw him, he died" and Ankh would be like "what??"

but they ...wait if they didnt see it how do they know,

and if they saw it, why DATE FOR FUCKS SAKE YOU ARE A DOCTOR, THIS IS FIRST FROM TWO TIMES YOU SEE THIS MAN DYING AND YOU DID NOTHING, OH FUCK FOR GODS SAKE I HATE IT I HATE IT

Back to the cringe. WHY YOU DIDNT FOLLOW HIM.

part 5 (when I'll make it)

[dmonrider]

ooo 10th movie was amazing !! definitely brought the whole series up in quality for me ! i feel like this did so much justice to ankh's character and his relationship with eiji, far better than i felt the tv show handled it.

gut wrenching ending, cried multiple times through this movie. perfect length, perfect tone, perfect finale.

couldn't be happier!
