Kamen Rider EX-AID ended with only 45 TV episodes which reminded me of Gavan's 44 episode run. I feel disappointed since the show does have some potential material to explore like the father/son conflict of Masamune Dan with his son Kuroto Dan. There could have been more materials to explore but I felt WTF... why did it end so soon? They could have expanded the super cool Kamen Rider Cronus storyline if they went with the 50 episode format. But I guess Kiddie Show Sunday errr Super Hero Time is already making adjustments hence it had to end. Though I could also talk about a couple of complaints that I have about the show.

After updating my celebrities blog, I thought I'd give this blog another entry. I know it's been quite vacant for some time but I'll give another reaction. It's no secret that I prefer new school Kamen Rider over the Showa era  so I can say I'm excited for what Kamen Rider Build will bring. I'll put the descriptions from  Tokusatsu News Network  in italics while I present my views on the main cast of characters. Atsuhiko Inukai as Sento Kiryu/Kamen Rider Build the main protagonist The protagonist, a genius physicist with phenomenal mental and physical abilities. Sento is taken in by the owner of the café “nascita” after collapsing in front of him and losing his memories. He now lives in a secret base within the café’s basement. He transforms into Kamen Rider Build using the Build Driver and Full Bottles to protect the people of Touto but neither the government nor the police know Build’s identity. On recommendation of nascita’s owner, Build joins the Touto...
