Kamen Rider 01 Episode 6: A HumaGear Seiyuu In Action

Well, this episode has a HumaGear for a Seiyuu which reminds me -- she's far more lively and vocal than the dubbers at ABiaS-CBN and GMA-7. The HumaGear Seiyuu is named Seine Kanazawa who happens to be a "replacement goldfish" for Seiji Tazawa who lost his daughter three years ago. This also delivers the dilemma especially Aruto was raised by a replacement dad of a HumaGear at a very young age. Last week featured a Manga-based HumaGear and now it's an Anime-based HumaGear. What in the world is going on, huh, Toei?

I always like the conflicting ideals between Aruto and Isamu. Isamu is very much concerned about public safety especially when it comes to an illegal HumaGear. I guess he still hasn't recovered much from the childhood trauma he had during the Daybreak Town Incident. I still think about how Aruto still tries to get along with AIMS in saving civilians. Is it me or are Aruto and Isamu like Top Cat and Officer Dibble minus the con artist concept? Aruto still follows laws unlike Top Cat. Isamu like Officer Dibble is pretty much the Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass type of character. Isamu may not be bright but at least he does get the job done against any real threat.

I still feel Seiji's pain in this way. You can think of how he lost his daughter and sees the android Seine as his daughter. Sadly, Seine isn't fortunate enough to live. Jin is referred to the recurrign antagonist Horobi as the latter's "son". Jin also shows off his form as Kamen Rider Jin. Meanwhile, Yua also reveals Kamen Rider Valkryie's bee mode. Is it me or is Bandai that desperate to sell that many toys considering Kamen Rider toys are selling like hotcakes? They (Bandai) need to be careful not to sell too much merchandise all at once or it'd burn out their innovative gears! I think that happened during Shuriken Sentai Ninninger where innovation got too focused on toy sales than writing a good story.

I also want to point this out. I could be wrong but I wonder why wasn't it possible to rebuild Seine when it was possible to rebuild Niikiro the sushi-making HumaGear? I guess the damage was taken too far to save Seine. However, an artificial intelligence with no body was created in place of Seine.

"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

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

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
