The only thing that can top this is if next year all the Metal Heroes/Sentai/Riders/Space Sheriffs come together in one giant clusterfuck~!

GARO Makai Senki 24... Wow, just... Wow... all that and one movie to go. Man, Amemiya always leaves me wanting more. After this is done maybe he can finally finish Zeiram 3!

It's so Cheap! So expensively cheap!

I liked the first episode of Akibaranger, though it had some pacing issues.  Not so much the story, but some scenes felt like they were held too long.  I would love if Gai somehow showed up in character for an episode or two.

Damn the new episode of Go-Busters for changing the closing credits sequence to show footage of Kamen Rider X Super Sentai: Super Hero Taisen!

Oh... and Gobusters has been a pretty fun show so far. t might seem odd that I bash the last few Riders for being to kiddie yet praise the Super Sentai but I expect Super Sentai to b the more kid friendly of the 2. I hope after FOURZE ends we can get a nicely balanced Kamen Rider because the last 2 have been just fuckin' awful!

Wow, that Gokaiger v. Gavan movie was pretty wicked. Makes me wish they'd bring back the Metal Hero genre. Kenji Ohba is 60 and still kicks as much ass now as he did back in the day!

I originally gave up on Kamen Rider FOURZE after the second episode becausethe characters didn't click with me. I decided to give ti another run because honestly, the how is pretty beloved right now by some of the hardcore Rider fans that I figured I was missing something. I'm just at episode 10 and man has my opinion of the show completely changed. FOURZE is way more fun and already has a great first arc (Who is Scorpio?) than some of the more recent Heisei Rider shows. I'm glad I gave it a second go, especially surprsing since darker themed Riders usually do it for me.

As far as Go-busters... I'm rally liking the show so far but they need to start moving the story points a little faster. Enter has been a fun villain but we need to get to the new Buster machine and Buddyroid post haste so we can get to the 4th & 5th Busters post-haste

So I'm now all caught up on Kamen Rider FOURZE. I can't explain why I love this show because it really is the anti-thesis of why I like Kamen Rider. Maybe it is because I actually buy the main character's earnestness and views on friendship. Maybe because the power-ups are actually fun. Maybe its because the evolution of how the villains go from grunt to Commanders is intriguing. It really is a matter of many things that make the whole as to why FOURZE is such a blast. There are only about 10 episodes left at this point and the final storyarc is kicking into gear big time.

If you haven' watched FOURZE yet or got turned off by the first few episodes, give it another spin. Add to that Kamen Rider MEEOR is totally dope!

and the first pics of Kamen Rider WIZARD have leaked!

I'm really digging the Wizard designs, even the silly hipster wallet chain doesn't look so out of place.

I'm sad that AkibaRangers has come to an end.  Hopefully something interesting pops up on T-N to keep my interest until Fourze is over.

[J.H.]

Man these last run of Fourze episodes are going ot be intense. The newest episode revealed who the Virgo Horoscopes is and I totally didn't see it coming!

James

[J.H.]

SWEET CRAP~!

FOURZE revealed that Tachibana (aka the guy giving METEOR his tech support) has been the Virgo Horoscope this whole time, thus throwing one giant twist that I can't believe anyone saw coming!

Episode 41 also confirms that all the Rider crossover movies since the W/000 Core Wars movie are canon with the TV series (not counting All Kamen Rider x All Super Sentai movie). This show is building to one helluva a blow off and has been just full of surprises!

C'mon man! Some of us have been on vacation! (not that I'm really following along, I think I'm dropping Go Busters after this week.  Would have been dropped this week, but I love those commercial packs)

[J.H.]

Shit I forgot to spoilerize it... my bad...deepest apologies.

Yeah Fourze has the potential to have an awesome ending stretch, what with Gamou's plan coming to fruition.  I expect a few double crosses before we get to the end.  Honestly the post Decade run of Kamen Rider has been really good, Ohz was the low point and it was just so-so.  

Akibaranger has been the highlight of the year for sure.  Silly, touching and a bit of that Genshkien/Otaku-no-video humor mixed together and just the right length.  I haven't watched episode 13 yet, so I'm curious to see how that goes.

Go-Busters has been really so-so thus far.  On the plus side you have Enter (who pretty much carries the show), the enemy megazords and possibly some of the newer characters.  But the main three Go-busters are bland as all heck and the plot seems to be going nowhere slowly.  I'm still willing to give it a chance though

But I love OOO! :(

Even my wife got into it, but I believe she thought Ankh was cute.

I'm not saying 000 was bad, just that I never really got into it.  Eiji and Anhk never really clicked for me, so I watched it for Date/Kougami/the Greeds.  But even so if that's the weakest of the three that's still a strong trio of shows.

[J.H.]

Gobusters has been good but I think it is really going to pick-up once they introduce the new commander to compete with Enter (I'm hoping the call her either Delete or Escape).

I remember giving up on 000 early to not liking the characters but now having watched all the 000 movies, now I'm regretting that. I mean I had the same problem with FOURZE but man that show just grows on you, so I might double shot WIZARD and 000, watching the latter between WIZARD episodes.

I've enjoyed the fact that they've built up that relationship (quite literally sometimes) in the background of the show.

Its been one of those nice little things about FOURZE that makes it feel so completely fun. They built up that relationship and avoided some sort of love triangle between Yuuki, Kengo and Gentarou altogether, which would have been the obvious way to go. These last episodes are going to have me guessing about everything right until the final credits!
