#christine watches kr fourze

I know this was from 2011 but I will always find it funny when I watch stuff that foretells what the future will be like and it ends up being wrong somewhat

Watching both KR Fourze and Kiva is interesting since both Gentaro and Wataru say a lot about me as a person growing up

Gentaro is like me when I was younger and the person I still want to become; I even literally said "everyone is my friend" as a kid and I'm still trying to get out of my comfort zone when making friends both online and offline

Wataru represents what I'm like in general especially as an adult: introverted, preferring to be alone, and also having a sense of not feeling "normal" to everyone else that I have often felt left out and even developed trust issues over time

If they aren't the most relatable Kamen Rider protagonists for me, I don't know who is.

Kamen Rider Fourze and Kiva Review (episodes 1-12)

Hi! It's been a while since I posted a show review on here so I should mention my current thoughts on Kamen Rider Fourze and Kiva's 1st quarters here but because I am rather busy with college work and currently don't have the time to watch stuff at the moment I'll try to keep both reviews as brief as possible (SLIGHT SPOILERS FOR BOTH SHOWS UNDER THE CUT)

🚀 Fourze 🚀 It's a really fun and enjoyable show so far, might be in my top 3 Kamen Rider seasons. The entire cast is all likeable with great character growth (especially both Gentaro and Yuki), Gentaro is a great protagonist as he brings out the best in both the other characters and the viewer; as someone who has been struggling with socializing and making friends, his arc and interactions with his teammates really resonated with me on a personal level and encouraged me to get out of my comfort zone more often :) I've also been a space enthusiast for years so the space motif really won me over :P In short: Fourze is great, space guy who wants to be friends with everyone is great ✨ Favorite character(s): Gentaro Kisaragi/Fourze, Yuki Jojima Current ranking: 3rd

🦇 Kiva 🦇 Pretty good from what I've seen, but also rather flawed in its character writing mainly with how Yuri and Megumi are treated. Yuri is one of my favorite characters in the show (considering I knew her actress for playing Sailor Jupiter in some of the Sailor Moon musicals) but I did get pissed when she wasn't allowed to become Ixa and Inoue's writing doesn't do Megumi a lot of justice in the first 12 episodes (which sucks because I wanted to like her and she still has a lot of potential which I hope doesn't get wasted). Otoya is hilarious (in a good way lol) every time he appears onscreen and Wataru is a relatable and precious bean who I'd protect with my life. Nago and Jiro (aka Werewolf Zanki) are fine but I sorta jump between liking and disliking them (might change though). On the other hand, the goth and vampire aesthetic is so cool and I like the suit designs and soundtrack (Break the Chain my beloved, definitely one of my favorite KR openings). (On the other hand we still have to talk about the amount of strangling that happens in this show because wtf) In short: Kiva is a bit bumpy at times especially with the character writing but it's still enjoyable with a lot of cool aspects and I'm somewhat interested in how the plot unfolds Favorite character(s): Yuri Aso, Wataru Kurenai/Kiva Current ranking: 5th That's all I have to say I guess 😅

Damn I didn't realize Amane from KR Blade became a goth (same actress)

Finally started both KR Fourze and Kiva, currently planning on switching between both of them every two episodes for each show whenever I have time left for the day
