Why I Think Kamen Rider Fourze Feels Like a Nickelodeon Show Produced in Toei!

While watching Kamen Rider Fourze, I simply feel like the show was a huge combination of Nickelodeon shows. It feels like Teen Nick because it's a show that takes place in Amanogawa HIGH SCHOOL. The setting is pretty much a teenager's environment.

And well I felt like here were the following characters of some characters that make it fell like a Nickelodeon Show based on the Kamen Rider Club:

1.) Gentaro Kisaragi and Sheen Estevez- Both are the show idiots. Kamen Rider Fourze feels like a sequel to Planet Sheen and if adapted, can become a sequel to Planet Sheen! Both characters are never known for their intelligence and are rather impulisive.

2.) Kengo Utahoshi/Jimmy Neutron- Both characters are the show geniuses who have some kind of resentment/friendship towards the show idiot himself. If Jimmy rebukes Sheen, Kengo does the same to Gentaro.

3.) Tomoko Nozama/Sam Manson- She has no Jimmy Neutron counterpart but she is certainly a shout-out to Sam Manson from Danny Phantom.

4.) Miu Kazashiro- She's like the Cindy Vortex of the show. Both girls can be very spiteful and are the school queens.

5.) Shun Daimonji/Dash Baxter- Another Danny Phantom based character. Both Shun and Dash are football champions, most popular guy in school. While Shun starts off as a bully for the first few episodes, he is most of the time his own character than a Dash Baxter type of character.

Note that I don't have any Nickelodeon comparisons towards Yuki or JK. I may find characters to compare them to soon.

One may consider the very atmosphere of Kamen Rider Fourze. You can have a high school setting yet choose to be serious. For example, Turboranger and Megaranger tend to be serious, while Megaranger is not that serious. But one may think about how often the characters are sillier (which is why I think Kengo's temporary death was just bad writing). The villains may be serious but the rest of the show feels more of a teeny-bopper Tokusatsu than your traditional Kamen Rider.

Humor in Kamen Rider Fourze based on its characters is very light. Now Shun did have a few tears to share about his parental experience but the rest of him lands in comic relief. You may have Gentaro not having parents but that happened way before the series started. You have this and that drama here and there... to balance the show's otherwise comical nature. Even a teeny-bopper like Victorious or Zoey 101, both Victoria Justice related, have their non-funny, dramatic moments too.

"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
