More Technical Difficulties

Normally you would see me post on Twitter if there are any extensive delays in getting out reviews, but in this case I’m going to post here just to give everyone a heads up. Basically we’re looking at having to delay all future posts until either Friday of this week or sometime next week due to Cable Modem failure, as we’re going to need to get a replacement modem in order to get back on the web. I’m currently posting from my phone right now, which is great for this, but not good for the reviews.

Needless to say folks, do not think your cable modems are invincible. Also, RCA no longer makes the greatest products in the world, eh?

Kamen Rider Fourze (2011) Episode 10 Review

The Kaijin that you see here is the Altar Zodiarts, which primarily focuses on distance-based combat via its’ telekinetic powers along with it’s fire-based evolution brought on by Ritsuko. It has some short-range attack prowness via the “Fire-Hair” Technique which you see in the start of the episode. This episode, while not as powerful as the second episode of the Shun Arc, still packs an emotional punch as the KRC move to snatch Tomoko from the Witches’ Coven.

Kamen Rider Fourze (2011) Episode 9 Review

Hello all, and welcome to another short and truncated review, this time for Episode 9. We’ll be back to more long-form reviews with Episode 10, it’s just been a long few weeks here at DTF, so let’s get started! This episode is the start for what is probably the most emotional arc of the series thus far, in which the gang fights to win over the friendship of Tomoko Nozama from a local coven of witches. Each “Witch” is motivated by being ridiculed by others in the school, which causes them to carry out “curses” on fellow students and staff.

Kamen Rider Fourze (2011) Episode 8 Review

The Kaijin that you see here is the Hound Zodiarts, who tends to be more of a mid-to-long distance fighter, with a set of chains that can cause foes to keep their distance, as well as the ability to fire projectiles, with it’s only true weakness being close quarters combat. This episode brings a lot of emotion into Fourze, with a standout performance by Shun’s actor that reinforces what looks to be a tight bond between the members of the Kamen Rider Club. To let you know now, this will be a short and sweet review as it’s already been a while since the episode aired, so today I’ll simply go over things that stood out to me.
