I believe there's not an official announcement yet, but the writing's on the wall. Ladyeve was also reporting that the Kamen Rider Gummi and Choco are coming out around August, which is a month earlier than Ex-Aid's..

My personal theory is that the story ends at 43, 44 is the crossover, and there's no 45. I think it's weird that the pamphlet mentions "Build shows up in 44" and makes no mention of 45, which is why I think they're not making a crossover two-parter. It would also help out ABC (Asahi's affiliate) to catch up, since they are gonna have pre-emptions for Koshien in August. Gives them time to catch up before the slot change.

This does not bode well for Build either :ohdear: Asahi pulling some american ABC poo poo here

It will be Ryuki-style.

One will be the True Ending, the other the Neutral Ending.

The Bad Ending is when Kuroto isn't revived, but thankfully they managed to avoid that.

Kemono Friends, a shoe-string budget CGI anime that actually turned out to be well-written and charming, hence its popularity boom. You're looking at Serval there, one of the main characters. It's 12 eps, so I'd give it a go if you're curious - it's certainly less of a time investment than the average toku! :v:

Toku update: going slow thanks to my sleep schedule being a mess, but Mebius focusing on the team having actual characters(!) and Mebius being really, really bad at hiding his secret identity is making this the feel-good ultra show I needed. Also, migod those miniature sets are really, really good!

YEP. Emu's actor was great this week, not a single gently caress. I liked his "I never should have asked you" to Dan before his Paradssination. And that last blow was just brutal.

I have to assume Emu knows something we don't though, I don't think he'd do something like that, even for Nico, without at least searching for and trying something else. Maybe it's less of killing Parad and more of a "defeating yourself" thing and he's going to realize the true Genius Gamer M was inside him all along or something. Hyper ExAid is in the preview anyway, so we know whatever happened to Parad in that water imagery doesn't stick.


Also regarding ExAid, without spoilers, in the episode preview it mentions "Extreme Aid," kyukyoku no kyusai. Is that the first time we've gotten a sort of direct reference to the origin of his Rider name? For all I know it was in the promo material, but it's the first time I've ever seen or thought about it.

On the water imagery: The entire time all I could think of was all the ridiculous amount of water imagery in Agito. My favorite Dan moment in the episode is him giving absolutely no cares about Nico dying because she can come back as a bugster, like him! And I'm pretty sure he was lying when he claimed destroying Cronus's Chronicle gashat would cure all the patients just to get Emu to stop.

This must be the only time when a complete curbstomp from the heroes' side doesn't feel good to watch. In fact, it felt goddamn terrifying. Emu sure can be scary when he wants to be.

I shouldn't be asking the hero to stop beating up the villain, Ex-Aid. That's not how it works.

Right? Especially when Parad had been built up this episode as kind of a Heart analogue, a Series Monster with some individuality and a desire to live. My favorite moment was probably the bit where Parad says 'We'll finish this next time' and starts to teleport out and Emu both literally and figuratively loving yanks him back to reality, that was both unexpected and coldblooded.

Re: Dan- Yeah, I completely agree, he didn't sound like he believed it at all, it was just a desperate gamble to try and stop Emu. He's technically right though, those who die via Bugster Virus are kept as data in the Gashats and can be revived, can't they? But I think Dan is the only one who would see that as a reasonable excuse to stand by and let someone die. Dan is great, and awful.

Fuck the DH

quote:

On July 15, the movie made its final stop in Japan, where it failed to make much noise. The movie is projected to earn under $1 million in its opening weekend and will lose to recently opened Japanese titles including Disney’s Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man Tell No Tales and Cars 3.
Despite being the home country of Super Sentai, the original source footage for Power Rangers, Japan ultimately caps off the story which summarizes Lionsgate’s run with the Power Rangers: an inability to gain any traction internationally.
