Kamen Rider Saber Episodes 11-12: Search For The Eternal Truth?

Right now, I don't know if I should really still continue doing Kamen Rider Saber reviews. For one, I do feel like Daichi (to a certain extent) in wanting the eternal truth. Though, I don't like what Daichi did in becoming the current Kamen Rider Calibur to do so. I'm wondering how I'd do episode reviews. The current story of Daichi as Calibur really feels rushed. Suddenly revealing the current Calibur was indeed the previous Kamen Rider Saber should've been saved for later!

Kento thought that his father was Calibur but it's Daichi. Daichi's story in the past has him saving Touma (as a child) from danger. As an adult, Touma now faces that his childhood hero has become Calibur. I thought about how the mantle of a Kamen Rider can go from good to evil. In Kamen Rider OOO - the previous OOO himself was a villain and a greedy man. Fortunately, Eiji managed to use the OOO mantle for good to combat the Greeed. In this one, the previous Saber becomes a villain for a reason. Though, what in the world is the eternal truth that Daichi actually looking for?! I just suspect that Daichi probably is trying to pull off Sandayu's trick in Ninja Sentai Kakuranger one way or another. Speaking of the ninja - Ren does arrive again after magically disappearing for a few episodes!

The second part has some intense moments. So, there's still this girl named Luna but where is she and who is she? There's this promise of friendship. Could Luna actually be somebody in here? Also, we see that could be the apparent death of Kento. Kento gets into a bloody battle with Daichi. I felt that the stakes are getting higher when there's a personal issue going on. Could Reika Shindai be that Luna? What if it's Mei who's Luna? Okay, I hope that Luna's identity will be saved for later (maybe midway in the series) because the pacing is getting too fast!

I was thinking about the scene where Kento tells Touma to move away. So, what's with Touma and Daichi? Touma challenges Daichi to a severe battle. Kento's father Hayato (the previous Calibur) was indeed a traitor and was killed by Daichi. Kento goes severely injured. What really makes me wonder if we should admire superhero impulsiveness. Kento is freaking injured and yet he still goes out there? A mysterious man in a cloak appears near the end. I think Kento is dead but would probably magically come back to life with a revive spell.

So I guess I'd share my thoughts too and they're not going to be that good! I think a lot of stuff here such as the new Calibur or revelations of Kento's father Hayato needed to be kept for later. The pacing is really going so fast! I feel like a good cast and concept are about to be wasted on a badly-implemented script! It's really getting hard to follow and I wonder if I should even continue doing these reviews here. I'm really facing a lot of issues right now with how this show is going. Is it really heading in the right direction or not? I'm even considering taking a break from Saber then catch up on it. Too much new stuff and old stuff worth checking out there is even distracting me further!

"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
