The Greeed in Kamen Rider OOO

After watching OOO I thought the Greeed were a decent group but had some wasted potential.  Sure they look as cool as the Lords in Agito or the Grongi in Kuuga but they're nowhere cool.  I enjoyed OOO for its gimmicks, but I wish these guys could have done more in unleashing selfish desires to create mayhem.  They were born from the human desire to create life hence these are coin-based homunculi who are made from medals.  So they want to get the Core Medals to acquire power and one one is based on a theme shown by their appearance.  They birth the Yummies (which first appear as zombies) that become monsters for OOO to fight and are fed by desire, while driving the host mad.


Uva is a pretty hot-headed fellow.  While I felt sorry for him once when his own comrades blasted him, however part of me felt he deserved it.  Well he did get regenerated into the last surviving Greeed before Dr. Maki becomes the final villain.


Kazari well he's my kind of villain arrogant and scheming.  I think he's the coolest Greeed ever making me think too bad the show can't get him to be more cruel than he is.  I mean, this guy really knows how to give OOO a hard time!  I just thought that he was my favorite Greeed in here.  Too bad though, Dr. Maki killed him in cold blood.  I mean I find this guy cooler than Dr. Maki!


Gamel... well he does remind me of Monster from Bioman when it comes to being strong but stupid.  At the same time, I felt his attachment to Mezool was pretty dumb.  However I felt sorry for him when Mezool died which soon led to his demise fighting OOO.


Mezool is cool with her aquatic concept.  In my opinion, she does serve as a leader to the Greeed but she is nowhere near as cool as Baruba.  For me, I thought her final battle with OOO was one of the best scenes ever in the show.


Ankh as a bird-type Greeed was something.  So he was just a hand and he wants to be revived fully but bonding with the body of Shingo Izumi and him being forced to be allies with Eiji who became OOO, it was pretty funny at times.  However I'll say this guy is almost like another Kusaka in terms of being annoying to the point I'd rather work with Nago (who changed for the better later).  For me, this guy is kind of creepy and annoying at best.  Later, the fact that he spent time using Shingo as his host changed his outlook in life even if he temporarily defected back to the others.


Dr. Maki- Well he was a human who became a Greeed.  For me, I thought that while the show shows him as a cold and psychotic guy, I hate the fact he has to have that doll with him.  I mean why in the world would a grown up villain be so attached to a doll?  He did kill his sister after all who owned that doll.  So yeah, he has his problems but too bad the show doesn't give him the kind of cruelty that other Kamen Rider villains like Bilgenia, Daguva or Ouja possess.  Well for a final villain, it was okay but I wish the show made him a little scarier.  Other than that, I think he is capable of stealing Kougami's secret formulas for cakes.

"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
