I dropped Drive at episode 2.
Seriously though I got a quick look and realized this would be a series I sit out while it's airing. I'll probably watch it when it's over though just for the sake of watching it as I do with most KR series. Also anyone here try Chroma Squad yet? It's out, it's not the best written game (far, far from it) but the actual sentai centric gameplay is pretty awesome.

So episode 2 of Black and Kiva are down.
The latter kills off an actress who said a bit too much. It also got me thinking again about how there have only been three straight up Extraterrestrial enemies in Kamen Rider (Golgom, the Crisis Empire and the Worm). That's kinda odd. Also, Black jumping out of the water looks suspiciously like a video of him falling into the water played backwards.
Must just be me. At least we got to see a nice Rider Punch and Rider Kick. Those never disappoint.
In the former has me realizing I know very little about Otoya outside of him snogging the Fangire queen and being a lot smarter than he acts. I'm curious as to really learning his story. I get the feeling he knew exactly who that girl was and had actually been keeping an eye on her.
One Strip! One Strip!
It's having the opposite effect for me. Sticking to Drive more and more.
Though I tend to wait until the second part comes out so I watch them back to back. Or when Meinos Kaen talks about them...
It's how I managed to watch all of Gaim. I was subbed to his videos and when a video came out, it reminded me to watch an episode.

MST3K Mantra, Eva. When it comes to Espers, don't try to make sense of them. ESPECIALLY Ishinomori Espers.
I read that Agito's material were based on Cyborg009's God's War stuffs.
I think Agito is the last time Espers and psychics were used in Toku. I know Inazuman and his friends in Movie Wars Ultimatum are there, but since they're around WAY before Agito...

So episode 3 of Black and Kiva down.
- Now we got a Spider Monster. Aah Tradition! What would Kamen Rider be without you?
- Holy shit man! If you wanted to go to a nice Restaurant, you could have just waited in line or got a reservation!
- Dat Rider Punch!!!! And dat Rider Kick! Black has got the ultimate ass-whooping combo going. It's simple, but cool looking.
- Otoya, you are quite the player.
- It seems like he screwed these guys over, but I get the feeling we haven't seen all there is to see yet.
- And Nago appears. If I didn't know he was such an ass, I'd think he was a little cold, but not really a bad guy all around.
More to come later I guess.

She's gonna have to make me.
Maybe she'll summon Black Rose Dragon, or perhaps become a Triceratops.
But that will only lead to her revealing her evil robot plan alongside her evil robot brother.
She's fooled you man. That's a lot of evil (and one misguided duelist).

I am unfamiliar with any of those other characters, so I don't get the joke you're making.
Are you running with Hey Its That Guy/Hey Its That Voice, or Names The Same?
Leader of the Holey Brotherhood
She was the voice of Aki Izayoi / Akiza Inzinski, who coincidently enough was also a psychic. She used her psychic powers to make Duel monsters real.
She played Aya Kujo in Kamen Rider W, who was a cop that became the Triceratops Dopant, and sought revenge against the men responsible for (I think it was) the death of her senior, but then tried to destroy Futo as a whole. I believe Terui stopped her, and gave him a sample of what pursuing revenge would mean for him.
Finally, she Shizuka Shirayama, the human disguise of Skydain in the Fourze movie.
And now I've explained the entire joke.
You've ruined everything Eva. I hope your happy.
Getting serious, I'm more or less going with all three.

Now that you've explained it for me, I am actually able to find some degree of humor in it.
So no, I wouldn't say I've ruined it.
Well, scratch that then. I'll change that into Kamen Riders, since I don't think there are any espers and/or psychics in KR in a long while.

Eps 4 of Black and Kiva down:
Black:
- So now they are trying to kill Kotaro with a fear toxin eh? Yeah, that'll work.
- What's this? Kotaro overcame his fear and beat the shit out of the Flea mutant (a Flea mutant? You guys couldn't use something a bit more intimidating like a Shark mutant....not that it would have mattered, but still) and toss his dumb ass off a cliff.
- Winner, Kamen Rider Black.
Kiva:
- Bitch can't take rejection. At least those two dude realized they weren't so bad off......and then they died.
- I can't help but think Yuri didn't portray Otoya in the best light, but then again, he wasn't exactly acting in the best manner either.
- Right, I know that Nago is supposed to be a dick and I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop, but he's just not coming off as that bad to me. If I did not know he was going to be an utter jerkass for a significant number of eps, I'd think he really wasn't that bad at all.

Well, you can't deny that the Flea Mutant was particularly freaky looking. "OH MY GOD THAT'S GROSS BURN IT BURN IT" freaky looking.

Black and Kiva 5.
Black:
- This Goat mutant has got Kotaro's Goat.
- Unleash a Rider Chop and grab this goat by the horns. Perform a Rider kick, and make that goat unborn.
- Thus the day is saved, thanks to violence.
Kiva:
- Those neighbours are all horrible people.
- Nago needs to start being a jerk like he's supposed to be.
- Wait, now he's forgetting about Megumi being attacked. There we go.
- Jiro and Otoya have a manly brawl. I guess Wolfen don't have increased strength in their human forms like most supernatural creatures. Or Jiro was just holding himself back, which makes much more sense.
Goat Mutant was best Mutant.
Also, a warning: Prepare for fillers. Some of the later episodes of Black after the first four are... eh, but personally they weren't as exciting as the first ones. When Birugenia appears, things get fun. Even more so when Shadow Moon debuted.

They're the standard formulaic episodes. You know; monsters appears, threatens someone, Rider meets that someone, uncovers the monsters, kick the monster to oblivion, and villain curses them.
Anyway, I looked up San-Gou's Tri Cyclone and its base model was the Mazda Eunos Roadster.
Looks cool, but I wish they used one of the Mazda cars from the 70s...
Any car enthutiasts here know which of them might fit best? Not just a Mazda, a Suzuki also fits considering the Showa Riders always uses their bikes.

Kiva and Black 6 are down.
Black:
- Eagle mutant has a wing and a prayer....cause black ripped off one of his wings.
- Telepathic hacking eh? ......how....does this plan let Golgom conquer the world again?
- Kotaro has the uncanny ability to go exactly where the party is gonna be. How does he do that?
Kiva:
- He smells like he sounds, he lost like a crowd, Jiro's hungry like a wolf!!!!!
- Otayo's got the element of surprise!......and he fails....... Not a good plan.
- Hey it's Bashaa! Now be ignored for the rest of the series, and your Decade cameo.
Kamen Rider Proto-Birth SIC is out, and he has a machine gun, ho-ho-ho.
![[awesome]](https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/minis/award_star_gold_3.png "[awesome]"){kind=small}
But I've even better news.
Kikaider's brand new SIC, and he looks... BEAUTIFUL.
At the same time I found out about that, I discovered... THIS.
...
It may be a pachinko game—website is here alongside character pictures—I am SO FUCKING GLAD THEY FINALLY USED THE SIC DESIGNS FOR SOMETHING AND LO AND FUCKING BEHOLD BITCHES
Not a fan of the SIC design for the Birth Buster. Just seems a bit prepubescent.
"Yup. That tasted purple."
Fortunately for you, the one used in the show is also (obviously) available in SIC version. I do hope that the same model in the Birth SIC is available for Proto-Birth.
Besides, that dual Birth Buster could be considered a prototype as well, considering who it came with. Maybe Maki ditched that so he develops the smaller Birth Buster?

Did some more Agito.
ep 39
I can only assume that Hikawa is being this dense intentionally.
AT LONG LAST, GILLS EXCEED IS HERE!!!

ep 40
...heh. I remember way back when I was making the wifey jokes about Shouichi.
FOR FUCK'S SAKE HIKAWA, we GET that you have a schoolgirl crush on Agito! Now stop making everything goddamned awkward!
Hikawa is usually a Good Is Dumb kind of guy in life. But when in combat, it's obvious that he's badass.
Also, a legendary video returns...
Is it really the same?
Micchy went nuts because he wanted things to go his way. Gou is going nuts out of guilt over what his dad did while also being mind controlled by the Roimunde.
What Gou is doing right now may not be by choice, while Micchy decided to flip his shit all on his own.
