Things I Am Watching

I just finished watching all of Kamen Rider W a couple of days ago and I find myself really wanting to find the movie. The Gaia Memories of Fate looks amazing.

On the flip side, I've started watching OOO's which to my surprise, kind of feels like a cross between some of Decade's AR worlds as well as a splash of what I feel is the Den-O sympathy, what with the possession of random people by ImaginGreeed or at least a certain Greeed.

On and off I glance up to the TV where grandma's watching her truly horrible Korean Dramas. The first one wasn't bad, about a girl who rose in the ranks through being a maid into a doctor. The second, ugh, Stairway to Heaven. In Korea, it was the highest rated series ever, and won awards. Well, even if it did, there's no way that they could possibly cover up the fact that the series is 100% medical fail. Like the main female lead starts losing her eyesight, and then fainting spells and then somehow after it gets "cured", it develops into terminal cancer.

YEAH. That's not a natural progression of medical related crap.

I've been thinking about picking up Goseiger or maybe Den-O while waiting for episodes of OOO to be subtitled. As well as waiting for the movie event as well. Also, I want the insert songs played at the end of episode 48 for W. They're just awesome.

Hmm, 1 1/2 cups of coffee is not enough. I'll have to make more later.

Yeah. Sadly I am not kidding about the progression of medical fail that is Stairway to Heaven. Apparently the same deliberate car accident that caused the main characters amnesia also triggered the beginning state of terminal eye cancer.

DVDs not out for the movie yet I believe, and with how slow TV-Nihon can be even after getting the ability to sub something it'd still take a while. However, if you're following W-Time(Now Over-Time with them subbing Os) they might get it out within couple days after its release. Whenever that is.

Also it has a Den-O feel with the Kougami boss who is just BATSHIT CRAZY AWESOME, like the Owner is.

If you need a Kamen Rider to watch there's always Kuuga (which was finished by a subbers about a couple months ago, breaking its curse) and then you could work your way up through the Heisei era from there. Since the rest of the Heisei things have been completely subbed already.

Also in comment to the "Stairway to Heaven" thing.

Pucci is unamused by the heathenish use of that name.
