What Kamen Rider Build Episode 3 Could Be Telling Me To Expect In Later Episodes

Okay I'm not so sure if I could keep up doing Kamen Rider Build episode reviews or if I should wait until the plot moves a little more forward before I do PLOT updates. Writing the weekly Kyuranger episode review has been easier IMO. I probably still feel bad I didn't attempt to do episode reviews of several Heisei era Riders. Anyway here's an interesting catch on what I could expect.


We get to see a preview of the three districts of Japan and how they operate. Things haven't been the same since the Skywall incident. We get to see these three faces who are trying to cope up (or not) with the Skywall incident. I don't have very good vibes with these guys. I suspect they could be part of the whole mess.

We have an idea how Faust operates. It's somewhat similar to how Shocker and Gorgom operate with blackmailing people into doing their bidding. Night Rogue looks really evil and gives me the chills. The new organization known as Faust is blackmailing people. Ryuga Banjo's frame up was done by someone whose family is held hostage.

I just love the latest form though is it me or is Bandai in general getting greedy again? It's okay to have good merchandise but sometimes, merchandise overload can destroy the plot. I sort of liked it better when the merchandise introduction was done in a more moderate pace. But it may not be such a bad thing if they could make it up with good writing. My preferences are still inclined to new school Kamen Rider than most of the Showa era. 

Somehow, the nightmare fuel of the earlier days of the Heisei era such as Kuuga up to Kabuto is back. While it's okay to have less scary, more fun Kamen Rider series and I admit I still have a soft spot for Kamen Rider Kiva's comical writing (even if Toshiki Inoue was obviously in burnout zone when he wrote it), Kamen Rider W, Kamen Rider OOO and Kamen Rider Fourze which are all lighthearted seasons. Kamen Rider Gaim is less scary but better written than Kamen Rider Ryuki. I hope we don't get so much executive meddling because it'd be nice to have some nightmare fuel after so many seasons of lightheartedness. I got reminded of Kamen Rider Ouja's Venosnake just looking at this scene!

But I guess here's what may become a concern of mine with Yukari Taki's character. Her character of Sawa Takigawa may be close to becoming a Megumi Asano from Kamen Rider Ryuki. I hope Taki wasn't drafted by executives with, "Hey let's put another Megumi in Kamen Rider because I'm afraid Build is probably going to get parental complaints." I remembered finding Megumi in Ryuki to be attractive but blah she really RUINED almost everything every time she showed up. I hope Sawa doesn't do that in future episodes to come.

"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
