Kamen Rider Fourze (2011) Episode 3 Review
Well, needless to say we jump right into what I like to call the “Friendship is Magic” arc of Kamen Rider Fourze with this episode, as our dashing Yankee tries to land a friendship with the Queen of Amanogawa High School, Miu, and also deal with a pesky Scorpio Zodiart. Also a new Astro Switch makes it debut, “Hopping”, which as you can guess makes Fourze bounce around like a Pogo for very hilarious results. This episode is nice for highlighting Gentaro’s struggles with the Rider System as well as keeping things loose and light, which is always good for the beginning of the series.
Kamen Rider Fourze (2011) Episode 2 Review
The Kaijin that you see here is the Orion Zodiart, who first debuted in Episode 1. His main attacks come from the receptacle orbs which are charged up and the shot out through its chest, although it does also have some melee capability with its club and shield. This episode completes the introduction of Kamen Rider Fourze, continuing with it’s frantic energy and reinforcing it’s positive energy as a harbringer of good things to come from this show.

A “Special” Note about a little panel called ANIME HELL……
So I ended up going to AnimeFest over the weekend, doing some volunteer work, and during my freetime I ended up coming across a panel known as ANIME HELL. From those who are unknowing, ANIME HELL is a collection of insane clips and commercials, with some awesome posturing and dancing from the congoers thrown in to boot. You should really check them out when you get a chance at A-Kon, AnimeFest, or YuleCon. Now what does this have to do with our little blog in the sky? Well, for some reason they were moved by the Kamen Rider Girls, you know, the girl group formed by Avex Trax as part of their partnership with Toei? Yeah, we got a treat of both of their videos for V3 and Let’s Go!! Yeah, it was hilarious times, although OOO got a pretty good pop when he came up on screen. Here, check it out for yourself:
For more info on ANIME HELL, head over here and give them some love and support. Also, buy Camay, Camay.
Look for a Kamen Rider Fourze Review on Friday. Henshin!
Kamen Rider OOO Series Overview (2010-2011)
Hello folks, it’s time for another overview, of which we dedicate large blocks of text to going over a series in its’ entirety. This will actually be a review of a recent series, the titular Kamen Rider OOO. When this show was initially revealed, a lot of folks were wondering about the suit design, the Multi-King Concept, and the whole Hippie look sported by Eiji Hino, the protagonist of the series. Did the show manage to live up to our expectations? Find out after the jump. Oh, a fair warning, if you haven’t finished the show yet, be mindful of the spoilers, as we usually like to break out a ton of them, for this show and other shows.
