The Orphnochs in Kamen Rider Faiz

Well I didn't expect I would do this but as part of learning experience, I will do this. I thought the concept was really cool but sadly, the show Faiz was too painful for me to watch. Now I'd like to analyze them:

I would say that compared to most monsters, I find them to be well lacking color for some reason. In fact, they're like an army of living gargoyles. IMO I didn't like their designs that much due to their lack of color. I really thought that the concept was interesting but POORLY implemented.

Now for the Smart Brain, one behind them:

The head is Kyoji Murakami (Rose Orphnoch) who is the President of Smart Brain. I pretty thought he's one really survival of the fittest maniac as he views Orphnochs as the "next step of human evolution" where some dead humans were later revived as Orphnochs. It's pretty disappointing he wasn't the final villain in the series.

Eichi Toda the temporary head, well he's really forgettable.

The non-Smart brain ones:

Hanagata is the foster father of Ryusei school. He does play a role when he knows the consequences of forcing humans to "evolve" into Orphnochs. He eventually crumbled to dust as a result of his "evolution" but not without revealing the darkest secrets of the show which for me didn't even progress it!

We even discover that Takumi is actually the Wolf Orphnoch, explaining why he could become Faiz. =P

Yuji/Horse Orphnoch. I really thought that he was one confused fellow, I pity how the show treated him. Really I thought later that his ascension into the place of President of Smart Brain shortly after the death of Kyoji was SO RANDOM. Also, I really thought that him being framed up by Masato was also one of the worst plots ever.

Yuka/Swan Orphnoch. Another underused character. I thought she was the only character that made me sit through the show. I did find her story interesting at first like her being the "black sheep" and then she was the love interest of Keitaro. But really why kill her? Ouch! Inoue looks like he was killing for killing's sake!

Naoya- Boy is he SO annoying. Really he's just another useless character for me. So Yuka's got a crush on him but he's so obsessed with Mari?! Really what's so special about Mari?

Yup here's one post where my heart isn't in it. I don't know what you people think but I hope you can share your opinions with me on these guys.

"Light The Night's" Finale (Spoilers Ahead)

SpikyTV I guess the series just kept us guessing, right? I finally got the chance to finish it after some busy nights. I was right that the killer was HANA (Esther Liu) BUT there's a twist - it was more of voluntary manslaughter than murder. Manslaughter is when one kills out of the heat of passion and that's what Hana did twice in the story. Hana had one against a client who used her and another against Sue after some unfortunate insanity attack. Hana ends up planning to hand herself over but her lover commits murder (towards a character named Chiang An) to protect her. The whole psychological thriller for me just didn't match up to what I wanted. I guess I was too used to how Victim's Game rolled out. I was expecting some real murder scheme. Instead, it was the anti-climatic manslaughter where Hana decides to hand herself to the authorities after what she did. I really still think that the finale wasn't worth too much of the wait. I was expecting something gran

I Just Finished "My Golden Life"

I finally finished My Golden Life which I was hesitant to watch. 52 one-hour long episodes? I was thinking it was easier to watch the Wuxia series that had 40+ minutes per episode such as Princess Weiyang which was quite long. A lot of episodes of My Golden Life would have a few minutes more depending on the coverage of the episode. So, I'm done and I never thought I'd actually finish it since I'm way too used to short K-Dramas. This one was rather long but it was rather entertaining in many ways. I was thinking about how Shin Hye Sun actually did well with on-screen partner Park Si Hoo. Sometimes, I'd like to joke about how they had a chemistry that looked good and felt good. Looked good? Both aren't attractive and I often joke how Hye Sun's face feels melted or how she was rightfully matched with Lee Jong Suk in Hymn of Death . Hye Sun isn't pretty but she really makes up with her good acting and likability. The same goes for Si Hoo with how he acts out hi

Just Finished "My Glamorous Imperial Concubine" (Some Spoilers)

This is another Wuxia series finished. I was having some expectations broken. The show can be full of spoilers when discussed even further. In fact, some characters are walking spoilers. If you're not ready to be spoiled - DON'T READ. If not, you can read further. I feel the show had some plot twists and turns. Besides, maybe some of the villains in this show weren't as evil as you think. Emperor Liancheng is an antagonist but dies before the show can end. Liancheng may have some idiotic obsession with Ma Fuya. It becomes even worse when Liancheng's younger sister Liansi and his younger brother Lianxi get involved. Liansi develops a crush on Meng Qiyou and even gets pregnant in the process. It seems that Ma Fuya was pregnant with Liancheng's baby but ends up in Qiyou's household after Liancheng dies. Liancheng dies doing a selfless act to save Ma Fuya. The obsessive empress Ma Xiangyun commits suicide to kill Emperor Liancheng. Emperor Liancheng's quite a
