Kamen Rider Zi-O Episode 2
Apr. 2nd, 2019 06:00 pmI'm already confused by what is going on in this show - but I think that's meant to be the case; the characters don't even know what's going on yet.
When Zi-O intervened to save Geiz and Tsukuyomi from Another Build, I couldn't help but think of Shurikenger and what he'd do with all those baseballs.
I liked the references to Kamen Rider Build throughout the episode, especially the brief reference to the really cringy element from the end of episode one, with Banjou's fly. It makes me wonder, though, if I'm going to miss all the cool references to other series, since I've seen so few Heisei Rider series - I've only seen Ryuki, Decade and a few episodes each of W and Build. Maybe I'll need to rewatch this a few times.
That said, I already feel like watching the first two episodes - they've just been so good. I loved all the cute stuff with Build, like him whispering his henshin catchphrase to Zi-O while Woz was doing his big momentous speech thing. Everything about this series is just so well done.
... except the special effects at some points in this episode. After the phenomenally smooth episode one, some of the effects were a bit rough around the edges on this one.
Woz, however, was not rough around the edges. He is glorious.
I'm increasingly thinking that Oma Zi-O is someone else entirely; it would be a strange twist if it was someone we've met, like Woz, or even more shockingly, Geiz.
Anyway, I'm incredibly confused, but in the good "I want to see more and be not confused!" way, not the "Oh, I give up." way.
