I think a week is never truly complete without a shinkenger crack. XD
Samurai Sentai Shinkenger 29
The episode started with Goyou-chan and Genta arguing. The others had been eating sushi at Genta's stall that morning when Goyou had been commenting about Genta's sushi making, if I managed to get that right or aboutDaigoyou being useless. In the end, after a heated row... Goyou-chan had run away and ended up trying to get work elsewhere. (LOL?) It was funny to see the small lantern went to random interview, and random people to go ask for work... when it his lantern form; Goyou cannot do anything. XD. Except of course... light up.
Mako somehow found it and tried to counsel it/him... when there's another gedoshu attack. This time it's another new Ayakashi, it seemed that that one other ayakashi from last week was staying put while Doukoku was grumpy again. Perhaps cos Dayu still hadn't returned (he blamed it on the sake being bad tho)? And somehow the Shinkenger were in a pinch since this Ayakashi is tricky. Kept playing hide and seek and can make doubles or copies of itself. Single attacks aren't so good... but combined attack might have an effect. Except... that thing's annoying ability. And it's attack is strong too.
Later while patching up their injuries, they discussed about how to fight this new ayakashi while Mako talked to Genta to settle their difference and told him about Daigoyou's feeling as later they all went looking for it. Mako ended up finding DaiGoyou at a stall and somehow had a nice talk with it. Even HUGGED it to consol it. (LOL Mako, you and your hugs...) It was funny to see the others watching the scene from afar. Takeru called Genta out (though he was already there) as he and DaiGoyou worked things out. And later Jii called and hey~! First Ayakashi battle AT NIGHT! Perhaps because of her role that day and the fact you needed the power of Heaven today, Takeru gave her Inromaru as she led the fight, with DaiGoyou supporting them. Ayakashi destroyed for the night as the day later, they ate together again happily. Or not, since while Genta tried making sushi... DaiGoyou started making commentaries and telling him not to press too hard... and well... I can say it was refreshing to see Genta making a silly fight with someone other than Ryunosuke. XDDD And DaiGoyou called Mako neesan! XD
The preview is making me excited... because Ryunosuke gonna use the Inromaru again and the fact that the next episode would have him doing something aside from being in the sidelines. And Kotoha also having a role there... XDDDDDD And LOL at Genta trying to sneak in as a student...
Ryunosuke-sensei~~~~ XD
Kamen Rider Double/W Episode 2
The way they made the recaps is nice, like the way they did some of those meitantei series. XDDDD
So back to the story... W was being in a pinch. And where's the W-mobile now!!! XDDDD And hey, there it comes! And Akiko went curious mode seeing W on the screen and "half-half?". Had to be amused here. The fight was intense and the W-mobile got turn over and Akiko gasped as the T-rex is heading towards her. But no worries, as W activated a function using the phone and the W-mobile sort of kinda fend for itself while the T-rex Dupant fought it back and set the mobile right-side up in the process. Unfortunately later... that Dupant escaped.
As usual Akiko gonna start asking about the 'car' and W while it annoyed Shotaro so much he just ignored her while listening to the news on radio. So it seemed there's another Dopant out to silence Magma as Togawa's body was recovered. Sho met up with Marina as we finally find out the relation between them. It seemed that both of them had been classmates when they were kids. (Shota Shotaro is so cute~~~ yeah punnage! XD)
Later Sho went to go looking for his informant who was busy admiring a maid as he took him to the last crime scene, albeit not really willingly. Over there, Sho was attacked by the T-rex Dopant as he snapped two Gaia Memories(Bat and Stag) into his camera and phone to turn them into a bat and beetle to fend for himself. The Dopant fled as Sho noticed a shirt? with a feather pattern on it. The informant appeared to see if he was okay before telling that he had seen Togawa before, buying the Gaia Memory from someone in black, with his scarf stained in blood. There was another beside Togawa but the man hadn't seen him/her clearly. Meanwhile, said dealer continued selling his wares. And we find out his name is Kirihiko and was the BF of the elder sister(Saeko) of that Dupant family... 8D
Back at the base, Sho told Phillip to start a new research. This time, Sho is seaching for a name and he's even generous enough to explain to Akiko on what Phillip was doing. Phillip went on isolating the search on T-Rex and police reports on it. The next keyword needed after that to find the culprit was Windscale, feathers and the last one being woman. It seemed that Shotaro had a feeling as to whom the culprit was as Phillip's answer pointed out towards the same direction, to Sho's regret. It finally connected somehow, the various events that had happened prior as Sho about to leave. Phillip openly questioned Sho's resolves on this case and questioned? him about being 'hardboiled' as that incensed Sho and made him punch Phillip on the face. Sho gave back to Phillip his three Gaia Memories in anger as Phillip was left to wonder what he said wrong. (First fight hoyo~~~ XD)
Elsewhere at a stadium, (Man... Toei sure love this mini stadium or I dunno what's this place is called XD) Marina was waiting for someone as she was attacked by Sho's beetle. Her bag was torn and her Gaia Memory fell out among other things. Sho appeared to expose her as he brought along the cops. Marina laughed after revealing everything as Sho tried to talk her out to surrendering. Intead, she transformed into T-Rex Dupant as she attacked the cops. Sho edged away towards safety as Akko ran out in fear. It seemed she had been worried about Sho as they tried to flee. And I tried ignoring the fact Marina said she loved Sho while licking her lips and saying something I think she saw saying. Creepy. Sho almost had rocks falling onto him before Phillip comes to the rescue. Phillip climbed out of the car as Sho acted as if he's still angry at him. But all seemed back to normal as they made up and went to face T-Rex. As Phillip said, they're one detective together. Sorta. I was lazy to translate properly.
*snerks at the truck/car and bike names, later I use that to refer to them*
W tranformed as the basic form - Cyclone-Joker - as Phillip's mind entered Shotaro's while his real body collapses beside him. Yeah... so that defeats the theory of Phillip's body not being real bit. (And random, Akiko's hairdo took the turn for funnies when Cyclone's wind flew past) Akiko cried aloud at finding out 'they' were that halfhalf 'monster' as Phillip told her to take care of his body. W continued fighting the Dopant while Akiko struggled to carry Phillip's body (hahahaha looks heavy) into a police car. Meanwhile the Dupant (since actually T-Rex Dupant is just T-Rex head dupant) summoned up its power to using the rubble around them to form a full T-Rex body. During that time, one of the wires attached to the T-rex snagged on the police car Akiko was in so that when it attacked W, they went along with it. XD. Phillip used Heat-Joker to fight back and seemed to work, without noticing the police car. XP. So they ended up having to chase the fleeing T-Rex to save Akiko and Phillip's body. Kinda funny tho. W followed behind on Hardboilder and RevolGarry beside as they strut their stuffs fighting T-Rex. Had to admit the SFX here are quite nice too. Some of the sfx did looked #D but half was quite real looking so yeah, I'm a geek. Hey! ven Hardboilder had multiple (three) half forms XD
Marina reverted after that as W changed back to Cyclone-Joker to catch her and had Hardboilder save Akiko. And later elsewhere it seemed the Sonozakis where at a place looking like a church (WTH random marriage? o_O) and WTF NAKED KIRIHITO? walked in as he put on a belt? (STILL WTF!! Toei IS EVEN MORE DARING!) as whoever in front of him passed him a Gaia Memory. (WTH ONLY SECOND EPISODE ALREADY HAD NSFW XOOOO)
Anyway, at the office... Shotaro started typing out the reports on the case with random correction by Phillip as Akiko later appeared with a new shop sign to Sho's chagrine...
Next episode looked interesting. Phillip-centric?

Been reading on this manga titled Ikigami. It's like a gattai of Battle Royale concept and add some MPD Psycho and other seinen plots. Kinda interesting. It's about a period when society is getting idle and full of apathy and how Japanese Goverment started this policy where they'll pick random peopleto be killed by poisoning with a capsule containing bio-nano material that will end their lives at certain time. These people would be given prior notices/ikigami 24 hours before the time they would die. Reasoning for this is to allow people to 'wake up' and start appreciating their short life and start doing something worthwhile.
The plot was interesting as we take a look at how these people who had been condemned to die a day later respond to the ikigami they received and how those people who were assigned to give these ikigami thought of their work. It's a nice thought-provoking manga.
[EDITED as in Monday post Kaixa Day]
Watched Ultraman Gaia's last ep. I think last time (before the satellite tv time) they either cut a lot of the episodes out, or that I never managed to see these few eps but yeah, I felt a slight feeling of completion. And call me nostalgic, but I always feel emotional everytime I watched ANY Ultraman series finale. Probably because they usually go super enthusiasm cos it's the last ep and they like themselves B'AWWing over the fact that it's the LAST episode or something... you can really felt the strong emotions there.
Like yeah... when all of the GUARDS Japan crew goes all out and Alchemist Stars people all over globe goes out on action, I dunno... to fight together alongside Gamu, Fujimiya, Kaijuu-tachi, I just feel like wanna cry. And then when Gamu's parents also made an appearance.... I go BAWW again. LOLOLOL. I dunno. I felt as emotional as those times I had watched Tiga's finale like over and OVER again. XDDDDD And whoa!!! To date... the finale form of that last boss was the second biggest Kaijuu I've ever seen after Yapool's greatest Chohju in Mebius movie. Or wait... the third one, if counting the second movie. And well... the ending was sweet. And Gamu still being a geek is such a nice ending to the series. XDDD
