1. When bad shit happens to favorite characters July 21, 2011

   Okay, seriously why is it that my favorite characters always seem to die or suffer horrible fates? I mean, well, okay, not always, not every one of them, but very very often.

3. Obligatory Kamen Rider Os first impressions September 05, 2010

   And so it begins. Watched episode 1 raw, so obviously I will have missed things. :D The first episode kind of already confirms the impression I got from the press releases and character descriptions: that many elements of Os are very obvious nods in the direction of past Riders. To be fair, Kamen Rider is a franchise that relies on a specific, limited set of tropes; but what I'm talking about isn't that exactly. A trope is an archtype basically, something honed down to its basic elements; what I'm talking about is the specific ways in which those archtypes are explored. That's not necessarily a bad thing, particularly if one liked what is referenced, and it's all revisited in a way that revamps the ideas.
