Mod: DON'T LIE YOU LIE TO ME!!!
McDonald's Lady: I'm sorry, we don't sell food to nerds.
YE: Well then, Can we at least use your Wi-Fi?
Mod: Have you seen a Tall Male with a Blue Mario Head and a Purple haired chick with a regular Mario outfit?
Old Lady: Yep, They just went into that Mickey D's 3 hours ago.
Mod: GOOD... HA HA HAAAA!!!!!
YE: Are you sure this Wi-Fi isn't Tapped?
AY: Trust Me, This Wi-Fi is safe. I got the latest Kamen Rider Wizard Episodes so I can Review them.
YE: OK, I'm Trusting you...
I was never too happy with my original review of Kamen Rider Wizard, so I decided to redo and fix my review. With out further ado here we go. I'm keeping the old review so you can make comparisons.
Time for my first thoughts on the latest installment to everyone's favorite motorcycle riding Grasshopper man franchise, Kamen Rider. This installment is known as Kamen Rider Wizard. is this better than Fourze or is it just another failed attempt at making Kamen Rider.
BEFORE WE BEGIN LET'S WARN YOU THAT THIS JUST MY OPINION, NOTHING OFFICIAL, NOT TO BE TAKEN PERSONALLY!!!! ALSO THIS HASN'T BEEN RELEASED IN THE STATES (AT LEAST NOT YET), SO THIS IS FAN SUB ONLY. I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY LEGAL TROUBLE!!!!
STORY:
Like Magiranger (Power Rangers: Mystic Force's Sentai counterpart), The main theme is Magic and Fantasy, complete with magic creatures, magic spells, dungeons, dragons, wizards, witches, donuts, the works. In this case it takes place in modern day. The main character is Haruto, a magician who loves donuts and has a bunch of rings on his hands. The show is based on the four classic elements, Water, Flame (Fire), Hurricane (Wind), and Land (Earth). A ultimate Evil known as the phantoms come to earth, Via a magic ritual, Which happened six months priror to the series and it gave Haruto his Powers. Haruto works at an antique shop and one day becomes Kamen Rider Wizard. He puts his hand in front of his Stupid Looking Belt (More on that later), and get's a big as gun that turns into a sword. As Linkara said, Guns that turn into swords are AWESOME!!!! He starts out with his flame form, but later turns into Water form, Land Form, and Hurricane Form. He has 3 robot animal buddies, which are a garuda, a unicorn, and a kraken. He also has a dragon that he uses tho combine with to use certain attacks. The Phantoms (the monsters this time around) comes and destroys something precious to the individual, Wizard goes to that monster, fights it for a bit, and Rider Kicks, slashes, or blasts it to HELL!!!! The person starts breaking, Wizard comes inside that person, and he finds the monster. Once he finds that monster, he chases it, defeats it, and kids come home happy. Yep, It's miles better than Fourze (that I haven't watched), The monsters are better, The story is better (Oh god, Fourze's High school), and it's the overall better series, but still it isn't as good as say, BLACK's Story.
CHARACTERS:
Haruto is a the badass, and main protagonist. He has a motorcycle, a gun that turns into a sword, a bunch of rings known as Wizard Rings, and a stupid looking belt. I like Haruto, He may be a cocky young upstart, but he's a better main character than Gentaro. Seriously, Screw that NERD!!!! The bland yet ******* HOT...
*YOSHIETTE SLAPS ME*
WHAT!?
DAMN, SOME PEOPLE ARE RUDE ARE THEY?!?! As I was saying, The Love Interest (or main female character, whatever she is), Koyomi, is kind of bland to be honest, and is really meant to be the pretty one. I'm not trying to be sexist and say that toku can't have good females, but most of them are ass kicking babes and part of the actual team. I mean come on, they're usually given next to no development, and the only reason they exist is to give japanese nerds some bikini picture they can put on their wall. The villains are the Phantoms which are based on legendary creatures, like minotaurs, phoenixes, and medusas. Like most Heisei era series, they disguise themselves as humans. I like these villains, they seem to be stronger than Wizard so far. Yep these characters are better than Fourze's. Just watch and see.
PRESENTATION:
You know, Kamen Rider's Effects haven't looked their best since the Showa era. It looks more and more like a video game with each passing series. Showa didn't have to rely on heavy effects, mainly on action. The stupid looking belt doesn't look any better, Just look at it, It looks like a Children's toy since it's so BLAND!!!! All you do is hover your hand in front of it. That's it. WHY!!!! Since most later heisei era Kamen Rider Series rely on collectibles (Since that's the cool thing to do in Japan nowadays), This time around it's Rings with special powers like shields, flying, teleportation, Etc. I like these rings, they add to the fantasy feel of the series. Kamen Rider Wizard has a cool trenchcoat with him, adding a more Sci-Fi feel to the series. Am I the only one who finds the music bits to be even the tiniest bit annoying. Not to mention they have to say please after every spell, Come on, IT'S NOT A DOD DERNED DINNER TABLE!!!!). Also one thing before I get to the verdict, WHY IS THERE SO MANY MULTI-PARTERS IN THIS SERIES!!! The technicals aren't perfect, but they're still good.
OVERALL:
This is a better rider series than Fourze. The Designs are cool, The story's better, But the it's not without flaws. The Belt's stupid, the effects are cheesy, and something is missing that other Kamen Rider series has. I Give this series 3 Wizard Rings out of 4.
Next time... FILE CORRUPT!!!
AY: What the hell do you mean File Corrupt?
YE: I think this Internet's Tapped...
AY: By Whom?
Mod: BY ME!!!!!
YE: Well there's still the internet cafe at the mall that's an hour away.
AY: OK...
TO BE CONTINUED...
I could use illustrations for this blog's story, so if you have drawing skills and would like to help, Please send me an email at AnonymousYoshi007@gmail.com and I'll send you the details.
