My Thoughts on the Regular Allies of Kamen Rider Agito

Well Arakawa did a good job in presenting the mold for Kamen Rider allies (well I think he had taken Black RX's concept and smoothened it), Inoue managed to turn it to another direction in Agito. Here's what I think of them...

Makoto Hikawa- As a secondary rider for the Heisei era, I say he is really good. While I don't like the whole G3 trailer thing since it's quite inconvenient but man he has some very cool weapons. For me, I thought this guy was a comic relief that didn't become too silly to the point plot is ruined. So he's clumsy and sometimes that gets on my nerves but I like him. XD

Ryo Ashihara- I felt like he is a tribute to Kamen Rider Amazon which is cool. But unlike Kamen Rider Amazon, he does tend to get feral and going crazy. I really feel sorry for this guy and just thinking about him, he is a pretty disturbed person. But good thing he got better.

Toru Hojo- Well he's what I'd call I'm mixed on him since he is rivals with the whole G3 crew and two, he does have a heart of gold. So yeah, this this Toshiki Inoue's attempt to remake Gai Yuki? Maybe considering he is a jerk with a heart of gold. So he does still respect his rivals? Well that's a good point. He's just after the safety of humanity but makes mistakes like everyone.

Sumiko Ozawa- Well she's pretty feisty person with a rivalry with Toru Hojo. Hmmm I think her involvement in the G3 project is one of the best things the show has to offer.

Takahiro Omuro- He starts off as pretty immature but matures as the series progresses. It was fun to watch his character development.

Mana Kazaya- So at this time, Rina Akiyama was around 16 that time. I thought it as good she wasn't just eye candy there, she really played an important plot in unlocking some of the mysteries. She also played an important part in resurrecting Ryou/Gills.

Yoshiko Misugi- I thought his role in this whole show was more than just your typical professor back in the Showa era. So here, even without superpowers he really proves to be useful especially when he knows of the whole Agito conflict. For one, he's a kind stepuncle towards Mana even if there is no blood relation between them.

Taichi Misugi- I have nothing much to talk about except he seems to be an improved version of most Kamen Rider kid allies. XD

"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
