Kamen Rider Wizard Episode 1 review F--K THE POLICE

well ladies and gents it's that time where I revaluate Wizard and presumably grow to love it as if nothing ever happened, well (insert Haruto voice) Sa Showtime.

We start off with exposition apparently in ancient times people used magic instead of science but as time went on people started forgetting magic until a man combined magic with science to solve a problem now in modern times there is a new mage who turns hope into despair(trust me when we get to SU reviews we'll get to that magic/science debate) and some cool CGI turns into a doughnut, and we see a guy eating a doughnut on a streetlight DON'T TELL ME AGIAN (arrow points to said man eating doughnut on streetlight with main character next to arrow) me ugh, he has a ring and a red mechanical bird is flying near him,s an angel's duty uh I meant a cop's duty and they go into there warehouse and we see corrupted Gems from Steven Universe(OK I'LL TRY NOT TO REFERENCE IT THERE WERE TWO REFERENCES I WANTED TO MAKE WITH FLAME STYLE AND WATER STYLE BUT I CAN'T BECAUSE SPOILERS) however bullets prove to be ineffective and the Police get their @$$ Kicked (good job guys) meanwhile we meet our monster of the week(no I did not skip most of the episode we are literally two minutes in at this moment we've already got our monster of the week) so despite it being kinda early you know what that means time for the debut battle of Wizard(much like Hibiki The Kamen Riders in this series aren't even called Kamen Riders they are called Mages though they do have HENSHIN POSES and say Henshin and have Rider Kicks like typical Rides)

said man refers to him as Garuda he asks if it's found it and we already start seeing the scat remixes and CGI as he pulls a motorcycle

right the f--k out of a red circle #REDRINGOFDEATH and goes to find something. Meanwhile the Police go to a warehouse and says that some workers are under attack a chief asks a girl named Rinko  if she is ready she replies yes that protecting people is an angel's duty whoops that Protecting People is a cops duty

 the cops go into the warehouse and get attacked by Corrupted Gems from Steven Universe(LAST TIME I MAKE A JOKE BUT THERE WAS A JOKE I WANTED TO MAKE WITH FLAME STYLE AND WATER STYLE THAT I COULDN'T CAUSE SPOILERS)(nah those are the disposable grunts of the season

 the police get the @$$kicked and we meet the monster of the week(no joke we are only two minutes in and we already got our monster of the week) (no I didn't skip anything watch the episode yourself this happens)

and said monster grips Rinko on her neck   

so you know what that means time for the debut battle of Wizard(The Kamen Riders in this series are called Mages they do say Henshin and do Rider Kicks though) however Doughnut man arrives with a gun with silver bullets and becomes Kamen Rider Wizard Flame Style 

and does a pretty good job on the henchmen but first lets talk about how awesome Wizard's design is while Black and Red are overdone if it means we get awesome designs like this I don't mind, after the fight Haruto

(That is his name) calls a girl named Koyomi and calls some more animal mechs called Plamonsters a rejected MLP FIM character and a Hentai monster nah just kidding they are a Unicorn and Kraken  and puts a blue and yellow ring on them respectively

Haruto then explains to Rinko whats happening people that have a Phantom within them are called Gates when a Gate dies usually from Despair a mass(nice mass wait DAMNIT I SAID NO MORE SU REFERENCES) of Magic Rinko arrests Haruto thinking she can do it on her own Haruto says he will be her hope holding a ring that looks like the Driver he uses

meanwhile the Chief that asked Rinko if she was ready named Amino

 has a bandage on his eye(forgot to mention that the Phantom Minotauros got one of his horns cut off) and then Minotauros goes to talk to two more Phantoms that are in charge of him Phoenix and Medusa

 

Koyomi one of Haruto's helpers

takes Unicorn to Haruto's jail cell while the chief(sorry Amino wasn't the chief) says that they cancelled the case while Koyomi notices something weird with Amino meanwhile Haruto uses the Connect ring to get the donughts(using magic like a boss) and then Unicorn makes a small hole and Haruto uses a ring to shrink himself

then Amino, was talking to Rinko asking her about why she became a cop Rinko says it was because it was her father then Amino reveals he was the Minotauros Phantom all along and destroys Rinko's necklace big shock Rinko was the Gate that Minotauros was after the entire time, Haruto arrives just in time to save the day, Haruto activates the Driver 

 pulls out a Ruby themed Ring and becomes Wizard Flame Style again and the fight begins when Minotauros likes to play dirty Wizard gets a Topaz themed Ring and becomes 

Land Style and uses a ring to create a rock wall 

and then pulls out the Sword Gun and an Emerald themed Ring 

and becomes 

 Hurricane Style and then slashes hime with cool CGI and then gets back to flame style and uses his Rider Kick 

unfortunately Rinko is bout to die so Haruto uses the Engage ring

to go into her subconsciousness to stop the Jabberwock phantom within Rinko Haruto then calls his own Phantom the WizarDragon

 however Dragon has a mind of it's own and then Wizard calls the MachineWinger to combine with Wizardragon and then 

 Haruto gets the Sword and finishes the job off. now that Rinko is saved and cannot use magic she clears Haruto's record off and agree's to help Haruto by helping Haruto and the group find potential Phantoms and Gates.

Final analysis B+ the subtitles were a little dumb though that may be because I watched TV Nihon as usual next week we get into the annoying part of this series(by part I mean character) I did have fun and maybe I may like this series when we are all done.

Update Fourze is coming/Am I quitting Arc-V/THE FUTURE

First let me say this no I am not quitting Arc-V it made me mad(I like it) with filler like it's taken the majority of Season one to get to the main plot SPOILERS IF YOU DON'T WANNA BE SPOILED SKIP TO THE WORDS "OK YOU CAN READ NOW" but OF CORSE we go to the Synchro Dimension the A.R. World(think of it like Kamen Rider Decade if you watch that) that was unnafected by the Fusion Dimension's genocide(and by that I mean they turned almost everyone from the setting of Zexal(of corse my favorite Yugioh series right now) into cards) on the XYZ Dimension which they attempted to do the same with the Standard Dimension but was stopped by the main character unfortunately the main character Yuya Sakaki has Dimensional counterparts the Synchro Dimension's Counterpart of him Yugo noticed the dragons he had an went to his dimension met Yuya's girlfriend Zuzu Boyle who conveniently has dimensional counter parts as well Yuya's Fusion Dimension Counterpart Yuri kindnapped Zuzu's Synchro Dimension counterpart Rin as well as her XYZ Dimension Counterpart Ruri Kurosaki but even more conveniently Yugo was on his way and Zuzu has a magical bracelet that warps away Yuya's counterparts(Yugo already killed Yuya's XYZ Dimensional Counterpart Yuto by MAGIC Yuto's soul currently resides in Yuya's mind and Yuya has his dragon (no joke Yuto's  body just disappeared into sparkles and his soul went into Yuya's mind now to quote Jeff Dunham(insert Peanut's voice) The Elephant disappeared IT JUST F--KING DISAPPEARED) it warped Yuri away and the bracelet sensed Yuya and warped both Yugo who was even more conveniently hugging Zuzu cause she looked like Rin (#SLASHERFLICK) warped them both away to the Synchro Dimension. I wouldn't have minded this as much if they A didn't put so much 5ds fansrervice specifically new Blackwings(my most hated deck ever) into the mix and B most inportantlty IT DIDN'T TAKE 20 EPISODES TO GET TO THE IMPORTANCE OF THE PLOT. OK YOU CAN READ NOW Fourze is coming along with Ghost along with Gaim(my favorite Toku Series ever) (got a special date picked for that one) and the aforementioned secret show mentioned on one of my earlier posts(will be revealed before Gaim starts). I was planning on reviewing Zexal next summer more than likely though so if you voted for that on my Google + poll, don't worry. so have a great day and HENSHIN.(that's my new closing line)

I'm srry but

I'm not gonna finish the reviews Drive and Ninninger Drive I don't like how the story is progressing (not only that but IT JUST WON'T END) and Ninninger is suffering the Sentai Sin of TOO MUCH RED FOCUS, and when I started Drive things were getting halfway there and with Ninninger stuff got in the way so Nope there Will I continue ARC-V reviews yes will I review Fourze and Zexal yes but those are already been over so they have less priority, and there is one more review for a show nobody is gonna possibly predict(srsly when I reveal it you're all gonna be like OMFG HE'S DOING IT(hint it's not Ninninger or Drive) and pee your pants out of shock and while it's American made(only hint I'm dropping) this is called Matthew's blog for everything awesome this is awesome) will I maybe review both Nininger and Drive in the future if I change my mind but for now I'm sorry but yeah that being said I'm excited for Ghost so I will more than likely try to watch it(I hope it doesn't hit my bad side like Wizard and Drive and school doesn't decide to screw me other by giving me projects like Ninninger) so yeah I'm sorry more Arc-V reviews but yeah sorry pepe's

2015-2016 Kamen Rider Ghost????????????????????

Twiter has  a post that could be the next Kamen Rider series after Drive it could be Kamen Rider Ghost (Sounds like something out of COD IKR) which I'm curious about because for some reason I'm getting a Wizard vibe. Wizard is probably my least favorite series(haven't seen Decade yet) could this finally be Wizard DONE RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I loved the background lore from Wizard and then they sugar coated it with a supporting cast that ranges from bland to irritating that was one of my big issues with Wizard. So yeah comment down bellow what you think I'm not entirely sure it might be fake(in 2012 we thought it would be Saido a tribute too henshin ninjas then we got Wizard) IDK cause they typically reveal these things around this time but comment down bellow what do you think. Cause If he's real I'm sure his design will be near perfect.

Kamen Rider Drive Episode 1 review HOT WHEELS BEAT THAT

({I want too tell you about the Transformers} this is one of my articles with the "drinking game" each time I talk about or make a joke that has too do with Transformers we take a drink warning if your under 21 like myself don't drink that kind of drink and if you are do so responsibly now why  did I pick that particular joke which doesn't count well to annoy fellow reviewer TJ Omega LOLZ also no going too the  bathroom if you do this until your done reading this if you of you lose RULE #2 THE MOST IMPORTANT ONE HAVE FUN) Well there is no way around it now that they last week announced it. Basically they announced in this year's Super Hero Tiasen the Ninningers will be putting a shrunken on Tridoron to make it   TRANSFORMER(1st drink) (speaking of which am I the only person who didn't think Age Of Extinction(2nd drink) was that bad what ruined it was Hasbro (3rd drink Transformers(4th drink) is owned by Hasbro(5th Drink)) and Vaginacom being drunk on their power as per usual plus I typically don't go into Michel Bay(6th drink) movies expecting anything phenomenal story wise I  just go in for the eye candy(not that kind I mean impressive visuals) and to see BIG ASS EXPLOSIONS the only real complaint I had was the dinobots(7th drink) being there for like what the last 45 minutes of an almost 3 hour movie but I'm getting off topic). Now for those who don't know Super Hero Taisen is a crossover between all Kamen Riders now what's a Kamen Rider you may ask well it's me and fellow Toku nerd/reviewer Tyler James aka TJ Omega's favorite show from Japan(BTW Tyler if you are reading this I object to Plastic Addict #6 while I find it funny but you trash on mahi childhood and sh*t , naw it's cool while I like too keep my Armada(8th drink) Hot Shot(9th drink) figure I got from my cousin from when I don't even know and play with it, and I grew up with Armada(10th drink) nowadays it kinda sucks but in a it's so bad it's funny bad I watched all of Beast Wars(11th drink) on Netflix around this time last year well at least when I first put this on the blog and that was a million times better) Kamen Rider stared in 1971 and paved the way for shows Super Sentai 4 years later and Metal Heroes 12 years latter but the key difference is unlike Sentai and Metal Heroes no matter how many times you kill it it keeps commin back (shows a picture of Kuuga Double and Gaim) while I know thanks too Decade having 31 episodes it now starts at October so as TJ Omega would say right know Say it with me ONORE DECADEO (Damn you Decade) Kamen Rider now starts in October but I consider Double to be the 2010 Kamen Rider, OOO to be 2011, Fourze to be 2012, Wizard my personal least favorite Kamen Rider show right now to be the 2013 one Gaim my personal favorite to be 2014, and the one I'll be talking about with Ninninger Drive to be 2015 so what did Rider Sentai do last year, well around this time last year as oppose too having a normal episode of Gaim and train wreck copycat uhh I meant Toquger did a crossover episode but said crossover was all one big setup to that year's Super Hero Tiasen in said movie when the Badan Empire refuses too give up they grow big luckily the Toqugers and King aka Kyoyu Red from the previous Sentai are here and Den-o with Momotaros is ok and now have toys too promote so Gabutyra turns into a train somehow and combines with Toqu oh and apparently the DenLiner can do so as well. This year their doing it again and I will review it so I won't spoil it but it has too do with Knight Rider uh I meant Tridoron and shurikens and giant mechs OH CRAP YOU FIGURED IT OUT. Well enough talk lets get started with the review for Kamen Rider Drive episode 1 Why Did My Time Stop? btw I consider this too be 2015 but it first aired in late 2014 btw as Baltmatrix pointed out in his review for The TK 01 the toyline for Drive that Drive is the first automobile based however he didn't point out that Kamen Rider however Drive is not the first Kamen Rider to be biased on a vehicle that isn't a motorcycle that honor goes to Den-o being based on bullet trains then there was Fourze which was based on a rocket ship(put the lyrics to the Little Einstein theme in the comments and I'll kill you). By the way this has many similarities with Double a partner theme and a Police detective as the main rider, in fact the writers had previously worked on Double lets just hope this isn't like Kyroyuger what the writers of Double had previously worked on, ok now were going too get too the review as usual Credit goes to TV Nihon for subbing and go to the Henshin Fever webpage too see it for yourself.

  So we start off at a rainy night apparently the world can slow down at any moment and apparently Michel Bay(12th drink) had too do with this because super slow motion CHECK BIG ASS EXPLOSIONS CHECK, and an army of evil CGI robots that have too do with cars CHECK so the world slows the heck down people are calling it the "Global Freeze" (the global freeze when bowling pins hit you) meanwhile the next buddy cop comedy was in production apparently then said narrator said his time stopped as well he's in the emo cycle one of the detectives shot a bullet while trying to stop the criminal he was after however his partner was near something flammable so in other words,

  and then the obvious happens then trigger finger here was trying too stop rekage from killing his partner however the Global Freeze is stopping him with Matrix fight scene slow motion then the narrator who looks to be Mr. Trigger Finger over here claims he died inside however Hasbro(13th drink) is colabing with Bandai to promote toys then we see some Hot Rod(14th Drink)(no not that Hot Rod(15th drink)) these Hot Wheels create a road akin to the DenLiner from Kamen Rider Den-o and because these toy cars just so happen too be this year's toy line are unaffected by the Global Freeze, The orange(no not the orange lockseed)one goes on fire and blows up evil robot Batman with a sign near it that reads big explosion it was created by Michel Bay(16th drink) the lime green one creates some Spike(17th Drink)s it then blows up Cobra Commander (no we are not doing a drinking game for G. I. Joe) then the purple one duplicates then throws shurikens(foreshadowing to the Sentai that I'm reviewing right now is it not) then blows up evil robot Spiderman(CAUSE TOY SALES WILL GO THROUGH THE ROOF) then these robots create numbers (no not the number cards from Yugioh Zexal) then we see a black colored warrior with lights like front lights on a car on his head appears Mr. Tigger Fingger sees him and thinks he's gonna save the world. Then Kamen Rider Eternal makes his new evil plan too take the Gaia Memories by singing this awesome theme song. A year we see an awesome sports car with mister exposition(same as trigger finger) going emo over almost killing his partner and the whole world is afraid of CGI affect aka the "Global Freeze" they are calling it "The Heaviness" (insert the Invader Zim "That's a stupid name" joke yeah that mightt become the first joke that I do here) Then we see exposition god here lay on a mountain DON'T TELL ME DON'T TELL ME (Insert picture of him laying on the mountain and it has an arrow pointing at him and and text reading MAIN CHARACTER next to it) well crap this is gonna either suck balls or be abosolutely awesome, and he gets arrested :/ apparently this is cause insurance meet Kiriko the girl of this season our hero here runs then get's her boot thrown at him wait are you sure this isn't the sequel to Double well our hero here lost his debut battle against Kiriko FAIL....................................................... >:( Kiriko gates a book just to say that this is your favorite hiding place to slack off and he gets arrested and taken to the office, meet the Police Department Chief who is apparently obbsesed with lucky colors He's also no Ice Cube. The department says that they're gonna work on a real investigation today. Mr. Exposition person who's name is Shinnosuke Tomari wonders what's is about It's about if they're gonna be any cameos from Double calling it right now I was right with my Ninninger predictions(read that whole thing for jokes)basically there were murderes at Los Angels no this is Japan so they need to find the murderes. The Gravity Surge (thats a better name than the heaviness. Shinnosuke worries that something like what happened in the prolouge would happen again it's time to meet Kit from Knight Rider Shinnosuke notices a strange voice coming from nowhere OH CRAP IT'S YUGIOH ALL OVER AGIAN Shinnosuke replies "You Again" so he has Pharaoh's Soul locked in a puzzle that forms a pyramid block on him ok no he has a convently belt shaped object in his cool car that's probably a Transformer (18th Drink) (I've been buying some like Age of Extinction Lockdown just because I wanted a model of a Lamborghini or however you spell it) . Yami Yugi here says he assigned Shinnosuke to the detective aggency to awaken the warrior within (19th Drink only big fans or people who spend way to much time on the Internet like me will get the joke which I'm ashamed to say) he also gave him the car. Shinnosuke says to give it to someone else Gosei here says it was no mistake (SRSLY it sounds like Gosei from Megafail oh uh Megaforce) he just needs time to realize his abilliaties. More Gravity Surges happen while some kids play basketball and skate at a park and get injured. Then a Drug Dealer arrives no a man in sucpious clothing arrives and offers the teens drugs ok no. Shinnosuke finally finds the obvious belt shaped machine where Kit talks and GUESS WHAT IT'S A BELT and it forces itself on Shinnosuke all while making a creepy smile Kiriko finds Shinnosuke to give him the usual nagging then the car which is revealed to be Tridoron the titular car in this show just starts driving for no reason Yep it's a transformer(20th Drink). Some people on a detective agency are being arrogant (Smart money bets their going too die) while the person that the drug dealer killed turned into Vison from Avengers. Shinosuke arrives while wearing the stupidest helmet ever arrives and the drug dealer attacks and unleashes the global freeze however Shinosuke is unaffected #protagonistpowers. The drug dealer turns into a robot with the number 29 and falcon punches Shinosuke however the CGI toy cars are back Shinosuke asks what are they the millennium puzzle belt tells him their his friends to Shinosuke.
MOAR EXPOSITION then Shinosuke decides to get to the bottom of the case the drug dealer is Masuda Nobuo who is a sportsman he took steroids calling it right now however the belt notes a few differences, we see "Masuda" encounter a jogger and activates the global freeze and the water fountain stops then "Masuda" says he's been hunting humans and goes xyz summoning again and kills the jogger tenth Millennium Puzzle Belt calls Max Flare the orange explosive car from earlier and it goes to a center spot of a holder on the belt Shinosuke can now move thanks too the protection of the Shift cars however the roidmude(the monsters of the week of this show) has friends

  and they kick the crap out of Shinosuke and the dying jogger almost dies which haunts Shinosuke of the time he shot his partner on accident and gives up luckily Tridoron is hear too save the day with Kiriko she has the other CGI toy cars, the belt suggests to henshin Shinosuke gets a red shift car         (this years toy collectable device jokes gonna get real old real fast) time for the debut battle of Kamen Rider Drive lemmie talk about Drives Default mode type Speed it's great but the tire going down his shoulder not the most aesthetically pleasing One thing I do like is the helmet the eyes are like tail lights and they do light up but the bug eye aspect is still present of corse Drive beats them up easily one thing I love is the pseudo rider kick Drive can do the 29 one goes after Drive and beats him up Kiriko's shift cars save him with Den-o's henshin sound effects not the train sounding ones though and now we see the gimmick of this show its called Tire Koukan, baiscally  Drive can remove the shift car in the shift brace and put another one in and the tire he currently has is replaced with a tire for that shift car (I think it's a good idea on paper but well I'll say what I don't like about it later) he replaces his type speed shift car with Max Flare another Shift Car     (these cars do basically what the Astroswitches from Fourze do accept Drive can only have one active at a time) difference  this makes him slightly stronger but slower one thing I like is how the tire comes out of Tridiron now Drive gets to use fire and knocked Roidmude 29 out the window and initiates Tire Koukan again this time he uses the green spiked one from earlier called Funky Spike              (19th Drink) (yep not done with the drinking game yet if it seems like I'm in a bad mood it's because I initially started writing this in late late March then I wrote a bit of it on Easter and now I'm trying to get this finished and I'm gonna work on secret project I'm adding to the blog meanwhile kids at my school annoyed the ever loving s#*% out of me today that and I wanna get this review done ASAP so I can move on with Ninninger and Drive reviews which I am much more behind schedule than I'd like to be on both of them especially on Drive) Drive gets a green Spiked tire this is an exageration of Speed Flare as it's stronger yet slower he can shoot spikes he finishes off one of the Roidmudes and it reveals a 42 he then intiates Tire Kokan again using the purple shrunken one #INGREDIANTSUGARWATERPURPLE to get the Midnight Shadow Tire which is shaped like well a Shuriken (I'm not sure to reference Ninninger or not)      he is weaker but faster he can throw energy  shurikens  and defeats the 88 Roidmude and the number monsters explode. Drive now gets back to "Masuda" and preforms his Rider Kick which is really cool however the floating CGI 29 floats away LOGIC MUCH. Jogger is ok Shinosuke has been picking up papers and notices one. Kirko takes Drive to THE BAT CAVE (No LOL JK) it's called the Drive pit which is in the agency and is the base of operations Kiriko has been the Drive Driver's servent all along and everyone "killed" by 29 survives however Shinosuke notes the papers and thinks the case isn't over after all. The 29 is passed by PHILLIP (OMG IT'S RLY HIM)  and Phillip pulls out a car with a cobra on it and tries gives him a new body!!!!!


Final analyasis B It's good but it felt kinda slow and I am very interested tho
