What I Think Of Kamen Rider EX-AID's Updates!

From UkiyaSeed, here's the news:

The official TV-Asahi Kamen Rider Ex-Aid website has unveiled the staff for the upcoming series that celebrates the franchise's 45th anniversary.

The series will be produced by Toei's Takahito Ohmori (Kamen Rider Drive, Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger) and TV-Asahi's Sasaki Motoi, who will also serve as the show's chief producer. Writing the series is Yuya Takahashi (Eight Ranger, Lupin III Part 4), making this his first major tokusatsu project. Takahashi previously wrote Kamen Rider Drive's Type Tokujo specials. Finally, serving as the series' head director is Shojiro Nakazawa(Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger, Kamen Rider Wizard).

The series, which is described as a "Battle game with twists happening in the real world" and will revolve around a Rider who fights video game viruses called "Bugstars" that manifest themselves in the real world. Lastly, the show will go all out with its video game theme as it will feature video game elements such as damage and attack meters.

Kamen Rider Ex-Aid is set for an October 2 premiere. But before that, Ex-Aid will make his feature film debut in the Kamen Rider Ghost the Movie: The 100 Eyecons and Ghost’s Fateful Moment, which will premiere on August 6th.
So what do I think of the crew to run the show? While Takahito Ohmori was responsible for one show I thought really didn't click with me namely Kyoryuger but he's also responsible for Kamen Rider Drive. We have a new head writer Yuya Takahashi who's now going to give it a shot with Tokusatsu. I felt like a lot of writers have been overworked like both Toshiki Inoue and Yasuko Kobayashi need a long break. With Shojiro Nakazawa, well I guess having his expedrience with Gokaiger can be a plus.

As for the plot, I'm thinking we're taking Megaranger or the Tsubaraya-owned series Gridman to another level. The idea that Kamen Rider EX-AID will fight the video game viruses called the Bugstars is an interesting idea. I feel like we need another creative concept going on. While the suit itself looks funny but Kamen Rider's maintained a cartoony theme ever since Kamen Rider Den-O and Kamen Rider Ghost isn't even a serious series. So I don't see any reason why Kamen Rider EX-AID having a comedic design wouldn't work. While it didn't work with Metal Hero but having cartoony themes did work with Super Sentai and Kamen Rider.

    When it comes to the writers, I wished it could have been Naruhisa Arakawa or Gen Urobochi. But let's see what Yuya Takahashi has to give us.

    As for fighting video game viruses, it reminded me of Megaman Battle Network and Star Force.

"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
