I don't know to express how the death of Kubodera Akira and Shiramata's reaction hurt me.
The fact they performed Serizawa and Ibuki and how they looked so close make everything more bitter to me.

It’s got JP, I haven’t really seen Ino properly act in the flesh (shhh I did see him in Touken but... as something ELSE I haven’t seen him act in the flesh), and Nishime is the CUTEST and of course I like to support Naya whenever I can! So many amazing people in this cast! AND it’s about baseball; I enjoy baseball!

NON-SPOILER REVIEW Overall: I thoroughly enjoyed this! I had a lot of fun watching the baseball matches and my favourite part was definitely during the Training Camp! I really, really enjoyed Ino's character and I was getting such romance vibes from him that now, I'd quite like to see him do some sort of romance movie or role soon! I love how huggy he was with everyone ^_^ Also, it was great seeing Nishime get center stage; I haven't seen him act since last year's Satomi Hakkenden (review here). Naya was DEFINITELY the MVP of this entire stage! He was so entertaining and such much fun! I absolutely loved seeing him do such a comedic role ♡ I definitely weeped at this one towards the end because I got so attached to all the characters and I really do hope we see a continuation of this in the near future (within the next year or so please!). This was fun, some drama, some emotional parts, the games were done in an interesting way, the character development and relationships were great! The opening and closing dance was great too! If you’re a baseball, sports-anime, stage fan then I think you’re going to enjoy this quite a bit. OH and I forgot to mention the best part; their crotches and butts are tightly shown in those baseball pants o_O So enjoy xD Rating: 8/10 << I think this would've gotten a higher rating if SOMEONE hadn't been snoring for at least half of the play and it super distracted me and took me out of the stage and story for a good 20 or so minutes.
*
SPOILER REVIEW
I don't know how many of you are interested in the story but I'll give the BASIC STORY:
Mihashi has recently moved/started at Nishiura high school. Even though he refuses to play due to past trauma and experiences at his previous school, he still gets roped into joining the baseball club because he is somewhat of a well known name. So we follow Mihashi get over his trauma and learning to trust his new friends as well as face his fears and get back into baseball.
That really is the bare basic plot of this stage. To be honest, I just want to flail over so many parts of this play so lets get to that okay? OKAY!
I have so many feels about Ookiku!! I enjoyed this stage so much! I cried! I laughed! It was so good!!
First things first, the opening and end dances were so good! I thoroughly enjoyed them. But unfortuntately for Ino, he was stood right next to Naya! xD Ino looked like such a bad dancer being stood next to Naya who's dancing was and is just amazing.
One scene that really stood out to me what the Training Camp scene. I really, really enjoyed this scene so much and was a lot of fun!
There were a lot of cute moments of Naya and Ino Hugging; Ino and JP hugging; and Naya and JP hugging. I just ate it all up. I loved seeing these little moments that weren't exactly the center of the scene or the story but they were there and they were a lot of fun to witness and see! ^_^
Now for some character/actor break downs:
I have to mention Nishime first because he's the lead actor. I feel like Nishime’s character in this was similar to his character in Ghost or at least reminded me of that character. I think Nishime did such a good job and I really want to see him get more work! I’ve enjoyed both of the stage plays I’ve seen him in (the other was Satomi Hakkenden: review here), and I want to see him continue stage acting and see his progress and see him getting better!
Next we have Ino! I loved angry Ino in this and I could definitely see the similarities between this character and Imaizumi (who he'll start playing in the next Yowamushi Pedal stage). His character in this is part fun, part angry but he's a whole lot of 'caring for his friends'. But also, for some reason throughout this stage I got major feelings of just wanting to see Ino do a romantic role I think he’d be the cutest!
Even though he’s clearly a little shit! Which leads me to my next point about him! Ino is a little shit when people say their lines wrong xD There was a scene where the teacher kept messing up all his lines and Ino just stood up (it was in the middle of a meeting and the students were all sat down) and was really calling and drawing attention to it like 'what? What was that? WHAT DID YOU SAY? Just say that again' xD it was so funny that the audience were too busy laughing and clapping to Ino's reactions and reponses while the poor actor tried to continue the scene. It was hilarious!
Now moving onto some others, but very quickly in comparison to the four guys I focused on (JP, Naya, Nishime, Ino):
I was surprised to see that Masshu played on the other schools' teams. In fact, all of the non-Nishiura actors essentially played as all the other schools! So it was interesting seeing Masshu play different characters with slightly different personalities. But he also had his main moment as Nishime's ex-team mate and trying to fix the problem between Nishime and Hatake.
Another shocker and surprising thing was how quickly I ended up really liking Junta! Pretty much straight after his school starts against Nishiura I started liking him and he end up being a baseball pitcher. I can't explain why I liked him so much but I just did.
An even small quick note is that Bishin's body is tiny!! Seriously, so tiny!
There was one character in Nishiura who was always nervous and didn't have much confidence and he tended to hug Ino a lot which was really cute. I think it was Sakaeguchi.
Oooohhh! Going back to Nishime and Ino for a moment! There was a really cute scene during their first match where Nishime gets scared and hides away just before matches starts because it's been so long since he's been a pitcher. Ino finds him and sits down next to him and tells him that everything is going to be okay and stuff, and all of a sudden there is this 'daisuke / I like you moment' and they hug and it becomes really bromance and -- I SHIP IT! It was a really good moment.
OOOHH Which leads me to an even juicer scene! Between Junta and Ino! Because they are opposing teams, they obviously have some rivalry going on, and Junta and Ino get WAY too close, and because of the helmet on Ino's head and with Ino facing away from the audience, it totally looked like they were kissing! I am not joking you but at this time, most of the audience SQUEALED at that one tiny part because of how MAJORLY it looked like they were kissing. Hey again... I SHIP IT! I hope this scene makes it onto the dvd -- I heard from a friend who also watched it that they didn't do that during the performance she saw! WAAAH?! Good thinking Ino << I bet it was him.
Also, SO MUCH Ino crotch in this! He’s a pitcher so obviously his has to have his legs wide apart so balance and catching the ball etc. and he faces the audience the entire time so yes.... WIDE CROTCH VIEWS ALL ROUND!
Just in general those Baseball pants are NICE around all their legs, butts and...other things xD
Now lets rave about the MVP who is oh-so-clearly: NAYA TAKERU! NAYA-CHAN! PATCH-KUN! TAKE-CHAN!
Naya is the MVP of this damn stage! He was so freaking funny in this and caused the most of the audience to focus on and be laughing at him rather than paying attention to what's happening in the scene. He also broke the fourth wall quite a few times during his stupid and silly moments. <<- in fact JP did this too when Naya and he were pretending to play catch with an invisible ball and he pretended it fell of stage and into the audience so he asked a girl in the first row to through it back up to him. In fact, speaking of JP let me quickly mention him some more; unfortunately because of how far back I was and because of damn Naya stealing my attention completely from the very first second, it took me ages to find where JP was! But I did think in the very first few minutes 'oooh that guy in the background is really handsome and has really nice hair -- turns out THAT was JP! No wonder the guy caught my attention >.< it's just meant to be haha ANYWAY BACK TO NAYA!
So many things about Naya's character in this I loved! He was hilarious, he was the center of (what I assumed were) higawaris/daily changes, his dancing was amazing (as expected because he's done hiphop and martial arts all his life), his was just a brilliant character and had so much presence on stage -- but I've always felt this way about Naya I think. AND Naya’s back flip was so cool!!! For some reason, TouStage has yet to incorporate Naya's skills fully (same with Shiina) but one day I hope they do. Also Naya's character spends so much time doing doggy poses that shows he cute little butt off perfectly, so of course I enjoyed that! And also I was impressed he could do those poses! I don't think I'm flexible enough anymore to do them =[ Naya is also what made the Training Camp scene so great! There's a moment where he has to count the numbers up on a board but, because he's a badass, he does two boards at once and it was pretty funny.
AND, I don't know if it was just me but I really felt like the coach, Maria, and Naya’s character, Tajma, were dating. There were just a lot of little things where I could really see chemistry between them - even though it appears like his character is supposed to be trying to get the new coach trainee's, Chiyo, attention - I seriously felt like maybe Tajima and Maria were secretly dating. I can't explain it but their chemistry was just great in my opinion.
I will definitely be getting Naya’s bromides from this stage if they ever make their way to AGS (Animate: AkibaGirls Station) in the future.
Now onto the finale part of the stage which was the match against Tosei. The very final game scene had me so very nervous! I honestly couldn't tell which route they were going to take and I was legit nervous about the game’s result! I cried at the end too! From the moment I started freaking that they weren't going to win, right up to the final score and celebration, I was crying. In fact, it seemed like quite a lot of people were crying during these moments too!
And, if you don't trust my opinion on this stage for some crazy reason, there were 3 huge rounds of applause during the curtain call!! So, clearly it was great! AND IT WAS!
*
I only have TWO NEGATIVES.
For this stage, they didn't use mics, which doesn't bother me. But, in comparison to how well the male actors voices' traveled, and if someone with lesser hearing ability than me was at the show, the girls were a tad difficult to hear at times. I could hear them all pretty well 99.99% of the time but now and again I did think 'oh if my Japanese wasn't as good as it is' or 'if I was right at the back' or 'if my hearing started to go' I would've had a lot of trouble hearing and understanding them I think.
And the second negative has already been mentioned in the Non-Spoiler section; this ONE MOTHERFUCKER who had the audacity to come to a stage and SLEEP through it. And not only just sleeping, SNORING SO LOUDLY for at least 40% of the play, and a lot of this play has NO background music so the actors could hear it(!), I was legit getting so PISSED OFF and ANGRY at the person. DON'T FUCKING TURN UP IF YOU'RE TIRED! If you DO fall asleep, but you know you're a snorer, for the sake and respect for the fucking actors, please FUCK OFF. I was so surprised no staff came in to ask and escort the person out. If I had been on an AISLE seat, I definitely would've gone out to the staff and asked them to remove the IDIOT! Thanks to them, between the Nishiura vs Mihoshi match and the Training Camp and then the middle of the final game Nishiura vs Tosei, I got really taken out of the story and it took me ages to get back into it again, so this motherfucker really affected my enjoyment of this stage to an extent.
FINAL COMMENT:
I seriously need a continuation of this! GIVE IT TO ME NOW!
*
GOODS
*
I apologise for how often I mixed/swapped the actor and the character names; I do this all the time and I'm sorry (not sorry but) I hope it's never too confusing to understand.
And we got another one done! I am slowly getting through them! I hope I can get all my backlog reviews done before the craziness that is Dance with Devils and Patarillo performances xD

Truth or Truth to Kondou-sama... In your opinion, who has the best hair in the Shinsengumi? I'm asking you because you are kind, fair, and impartial. Also, you won't be conceited and vote for yourself, though I do worry you might be too nice and say everyone has equally great hair. So man up and pick someone. 😉 I happen to favor Saito, then Okita and Hijikata in a tie for second place. I don't recall the new kid's name with the long ponytail from the third season but his hair was on point, too.
Note: Kondou will have no idea what you’re talking about—the third season? that’s autumn, isn’t it??—so I’ll spare you his bewilderment and just tell you his name is Ryunosuke… and Shiranui would like you to know that his hair is better.
…Okay, on to the actual question.
“Um,” says Kondou, scratching his head. “The best hair? I… never really think about things like that. Nobody ever asks about it, so I haven’t had a reason.” He frowns. “Well… Toshi has always been a lot prouder of his hair than he’d have you believe; I know a lot of girls have been envious, at least. Souji doesn’t always take the best care of himself, but he always takes the extra time to put up his hair properly. And of course, Saito’s presentation is always impeccable. As you say, it’s probably one of those three.” He makes an effort at a shrug, but confusion stiffens the motion. “I’m flattered that you think I’m so kind that I’d refuse to pick one man over anyone else, and it’s true that I can’t decide between them, but… that’s more because I don’t pay enough attention to say for sure.” He shakes his head, letting out a long breath. “What do I know about this kind of thing? Your judgment is as good as mine.”

I have to agree. Being a Kamen Rider fan, this concept made me feel ugh at first but I came to love the Samurai x Fruits concept I think the lockseeds are adorable and samurai x fruits designs are great. But the points above are so legit 😂 I got really annoyed with the ending wth silver suit to another planet aeghh. Thank god the extras and bts between characters were enjoyable.
So, in your recent post about sentai and rider power ups you mentioned some problems you have with Gaim. Curious, what are those?
If you haven’t seen Kamen Rider Gaim yet be warned:
AHEAD LIE SPOILERS GALORE!
Ok, let me start by saying Kamen Rider Gaim has some great design work, some of the best suit designs I have seen in years.
It also had a really neat setup involving the mystery of Helheim Forest, the Sengoku Drivers and the Yggsdrasil Corporation.
I also initially really liked the characters, especially our two rival leads Kouta and Kaito.
Also, the rival dance crews thing was a pretty neat idea and Mai was a great character to start with. There, positives out of the way, let’s get to my complaints.
1) Too Many Riders.
I don’t remember any series having this many Riders since Kamen Rider Ryuki. We get introduced to so many characters that it’s inevitable that many of them are going to be shifted to the background, hardly fleshed out or killed off to add angst to the main protagonists. Sure, we got more background for some of them in the later V-Cinema specials but that kind of information should be in the main series itself, not a separate video you have to buy to find out more.
2) The Main Character Felt Railroaded
Kouta started off as a pretty great character. He was a likable protagonist who was trying to make something of himself to help support his sister so she wouldn’t be the only breadwinner in the family. Then he got his Belt and powers and initially made a mess of things before deciding his powers came with certain responsibilities. He felt very relatable much like Peter Parker in the early issues of Spider-Man.
Then he started getting power ups. Not earning them mind you but having them handed to him. Every time he needed a new power, he was given it out of the blue by DJ Sagara. There was supposed to be a contest to decide who was the winner but it was pretty clear Sagara preferred Kouta and was handing out new lockseeds to him to throw the game in his favor.
3. Kaito got shafted
Kamen Rider Baron started out a a pretty relatable character and the more we learned about him, the more we came to understand his motivations and his hatred of Yggsdrasil for how it basically took over his childhood home town and transformed it into something unrecognizable. He wanted to create a world where no one could take advantage of the weak and strength existed to protect those who could not protect themselves.
He fought and struggled for every new power he got, working his way up and becoming just as important to the story as Kouta. Then he was basically turned into a villain and a monster and fated to die. It felt like a character assassination and the waste of a great foil for the hero. Instead of a clash of equally valid beliefs and philosophies we got good guy vs. bad guy.
4. Mai
Mai started off as a girl who just wanted to dance with her friends and be the best dancer she could be. She ended up being killed and coming back as basically the trophy delivery system and prize for the winner of the Helheim contest. Sure, she got to travel back in time and try to warn people not to get involved but we already knew her efforts were doomed from the start. She was robbed of any autonomy and turned into the spoils for the victor.
5. The Ending
So, Kouta gets the power to do basically whatever he wants and becomes essentially a god and he chooses to take the Helheim forest to another planet and use it to give life to a barren world. Great right?
Um, not so much. He left Sagara alive to do this to another world in another dimension again. He’s doomed countless universes to be overrun by the Helheim forest and countless other people to go through the kind of Hell he just endured. Some hero.
He also ends up wearing that and going blonde. Yuck.
So, those are just by BIGGEST issues with Kamen Rider Gaim. Did I enjoy the show? For the most part yes but there was a lot of shouting at the screen at some of the writing decisions. It often felt like they were going for grimdark hopeless at times and that’s really not what I watch Kamen Rider for. Do I like my Riders with some darkness? Oh yeah. Do I enjoy a grim series from time to time? Well, I do enjoy Kamen Rider Amazons. The difference with Gaim was that it felt so tonally inconsistent.
We’d have moments of total shocking revelation and then either back to happy dance offs or some comedy moments with the pastry chef crew.
Thanks for the question and I know a lot of people won’t agree with my criticisms but that’s how I felt. Great setup, good characters, too many Riders and a seemingly forced ending that doesn’t really resolve the central problem.
