Not Much Animeblogging.

xyzzysqrlTonight was one bit of anime, two of live action. That is almost like an anime blog. So let's go with it.
You're Under Arrest 20
Welcome back to the stage of... uh, Bokuto Station. It's... like history! That's animated and never actually happened. ... look, let's move on.
I keep trying to find a link to this opening song, so I can point out how totally out of place it sounds for a show like this. But no one seems to want to put it on Youtube, so I suppose I am out of luck.
Kenny is a giant crab robot!
...oh god they're making a traffic safety sentai show. This promises to be deliciously epic. And Yoriko is showing Kenny how to PROPERLY hold a woman. Mmmm.
"You need car chases and explosions or the kids will laugh you off the stage." Sing it, Chief.
"HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY..." poor Kenny. He is trapped in actor hell.
Holy crap. Yoriko is death-director from planet Stickass.
Eeee. Real ninjas are going to attack the traffic safety class. This is the best thing ever.
HAIL BIG FIRE. ALLEGIANCE OR DEATH.
...okay, now the fanservice kicks in. Miyuki in a schoolgirl dress.
Kenny, heckled by seven year olds. He is the whipping boy of everything, everywhere.
I get WAY more fanservice quotient out of Natsumi in a short-skirted sentai skirt than I do out of anything else in this show. *scratch head* It's the helmet, even.
....what, did the animator get REALLY HORNY this week? Geez.
Ah, back to the -proper- show.
"What's so great about a bunch of superheroes just showing up outta nowhere?" DIE IN A FIRE, EIGHT YEAR OLD! YOU HAVE NO SOUL!
...ohhhhh, right. They need SMOKE BOMBS and a little pyro-tech. Okay, that kid had a point.
And then ninjas and a monster general appear and prepare to fight. Squeeeee.
Fist! Explosion! Lessons on being evil! *poing* *bounce*
"Not only will I destroy you, I'll do it while breaking ALL the traffic rules!"
I wonder how much having a smoke bomb go off over your -nipple- hurts.
"SUPER SPECIAL ATTACK! THROW YORIKO OVERHAND!"
"ULTRA SPECIAL ATTACK! USE AOI AS A BLUDGEONING WEAPON!"
"FINAL ATTACK! JUST SPIN REALLY FREAKING FAST."
And so, sentai brainwashes our children into following traffic rules.
"Maybe we should bring them back next year! Like with smoke bombs, and I bet I can get a bazooka..."
On that note, we end. I have no idea who those freelance traffic safety ninjas were, but they sure knew when to dramatically pitch a loss. *salute*
Kamen Rider Den-O 43
We move from faux-superheroes to totally REAL superheroes. Really.
Actually, we come in on last-episode's big X Strike attack, and then the railway dragon scene where Kingliner fights them off because Station Master is AWESOME. Things I am happy exist in my life: Railway-track Hydra.
Pulp Fiction Suitcase moment...
...spoons. THERE IS SPOON. SPOOOOOON.
Owner and Station Master are gonna have another food duel. This will be a trip to Planet Epic.
DOUBLE-ENDED SPOON.
Oh right. And the whole Junction Point mystery.
But -first- let's go back to Kai fucking around. Kai, you are a BAD villain. What kind of villain mopes around on rooftops and makes funny faces all day? You suck Kai.
....okay, re-writing history for the sole purpose of nuking the house across the street for amusement value is KIND of evil. Well played. You can stay, Kai, but I'm WATCHING YOU.
Now we're getting somewhere. Metaphysically speaking. Did Sakurai actually exist in this timeline, or is Ryoutarou remembering something different? Hrm. What if Yuuto and thus Sakurai aren't actually -that- important? And yet, we have that bit where he reappeared ...
Oh, complex plotlines. Trying to comb them into a straight line gives me the brain fuzz.
"DENEB. Hold my sausage while I BEAT YOU." Such a couple.
Today's Imagin has very selective hearing. "I want to cut ties..." "YES! I WILL CUT YOU! IT IS YOUR WISH!"
Man, now you're just makin' shit UP. You do not get a free travel back in time pass just because Den-O showed up.
Well. I wondered if this would come into play. Yes, if you succeed in stopping the invasion of the past, the Imagin-rich future vanishes, so the Imagin who returned to the PAST vanish. So you unmake your partners, Ryoutarou. Willing to go through with that?
Oh, hey. We're destroying major buildings. Must be close to the end of the series.
Yes, he's gonna fight even if his partners WILL vanish, 'cause... well, the alternative is the large-scale death of everyone in the past. Geez, big choice.
...oh, Ryoutarou. You never spec'd into hand-to-hand combat. Just use the damn team-up attack.
Kai seems rattled by this. This whole thing.
Ryou, you are a seriously irrational son of a bitch sometimes. *cross arms, glare* NOW you call things off? Actually wish for those four to bugger off and stop helping you?
Kamen Rider Den-O 44
...yeah, he's pumped to fight alone. All betrayed-feeling and whatnot. Momotaros, meanwhile, is cool with it as long as he gets to fight like a hero before he vanishes. Ryuutaros is just too young to really GET this. And everyone seems pretty much put out. Even Deneb!
Kintaros and Urutaros seem... okay with this. But... Momotaros is deep-depressed, and Ryuu... well, he's the one I really feel bad for. I don't think he gets it at all.
So they're hanging around the future-station. The Kingliner.
Where our Imagin from the previous episode has shown up! Wheehoo.
Kai is trying to figure out what the fuck Sakurai Yuuto has to do with all this. GOOD LUCK, KAI! HELP US OUT HERE! The Woof's theory is that Sakurai deliberately 'spiked' the timeline somehow so the bad guys would start targeting him instead of the "proper" person, whoever that is. Knowing the way Kamen Rider works, the "proper" person is probably Ryoutarou's sister.
...Sakurai goes straight to Ryuutaros to comfort him. Awww. *sigh* *smile*
Hanah-chan, meanwhile, goes off to hang and explain to said sister.
"...le temps de quand le l..." something, around the edge of the teacup. I wonder what that means.
Of course, I can't help but think of Trinity's "Times change, and we change with the times".
Aaaah. Kintaros and Urutaros just DON'T INTEND NOT TO FIGHT. Even if Ryoutarou says not to. Good boys.
Unfortunately, Boring Invincible Villain.
DRAMATIC CONFRONTATION. MOMO VS RYOU. FRAMED BY A LAVA LAMP.
Meanwhile, it's a three-on-one battle as Ryuuta shows up at the Imagin battle. I'm proud of that dragony kid. *grin*
...mostly at the Dramatic Confrontation, Ryoutarou hurts himself. But refuses to give up. In spite of the fact that he's been WANTING to give up for the last 40+ episodes. "Let's do what needs to be done, and deal with the consequences later. Besides! You might get hit in the head and we'll BOTH die!" Oh, Momo. You know just how to cheer up a situation.
Worked, though. THE TEAM IS BACK TOGETHER.
"Today I climaxed before I EVEN STARTED!" "You make no sense."
Swift tag battle.
Ryuutaros on shooting people: "YAAAY!"
...AWWWW. Deneb bought ALL the Station Master souvenirs. And wore them all at the same time. That is ODDLY ADORABLE.
Well... now I'm wildly theorizing. Damn you, plot twists. I dunno -what- is going on with Sakurai anymore, except that Kai is about to CRAP HIS PANTS from being too smug about it.
