Episode 34 to 38

posted ‎‎Nov 14, 2008 11:33 AM‎‎ by Alvin Chong

Watched 34 to 38

Kengo becomes bad-ass. Such a powerup in a few episodes.
A love rectangle!? Mio is sure attractive.
A human, a half(?) and a fangire.

Castle Dran pops up, who mends the hole?
Jirou starts to get proactive in 2008 side.
86 King reminds me of Gackt's Genesis character in FF7.

Wataru cares for Taiga, he doesn't know what to reply to Mio.
Kivat and Tatsulot sure blend in and became family members.
Bishop seem to be the old hand running things making sure things go right.
What happened to the 86 King?

Love. Jealousy. Conflicts. Suffering.

Megumi and Nago fade to the back becoming comic relief.
Wow, the 86 King got some style. Thats how the sword got stuck there.
Wonder why didn't any Fangire recognize Castle Dran since it was the home of the 86 King and Queen.

Where did Jirou get that idea (to make Wataru pull the sword again)?
Sad, there goes the 3 monsters to limit the sword. (Kind of convienient too)
The bat limiter being still there means Wataru is still not 'man' enough to hold the sword?
Shotgun sword! Reload(or resharpen) after slash!
A sword makes a huge difference.

Shock after shock.
End 36 the the love triangle gets clear.
End 37 the they each get to know their alter ego.
Friends, lovers? Enemies?

Kivat the II? Makes me wonder how is the I.
Is Kivat an animal or something Fangire-made?
Do they reproduce? Or just split to 2?

Ok so Jirou is still there.
Its as if he became a ghost in 2008, appearing like that.
New power attained from being shut in Castle Dran?
 
Another Necromancer?
Maya leads a boring life in that cave place.
Bishop is really the hardcore old school Fangire.

Maya fallen, Nago has fallen too.
Where is the Ixa Calibur in Rising Form?

How did Otoya die?
Don't think 86 IXA is powerful enough to clash with Dark Kiva.

Feels like Faiz when Takumi became Orphanoch and Yuji the Horse.
With the red and blue in Kiva and Saga, has IXA fallen too?

1986 and 2008 seem become separated again.
In the earlier eps the 2 timelines just switched seamlessly then recently the year indications came back.
Something to do with the movie?

 

 

Episode 33

posted ‎‎Oct 1, 2008 7:17 AM‎‎ by Alvin Chong

The epic truth.
Time stops.
The triangle.

Nago the weirdo.
The 2 "pets" are really not eyecatching at all.
Ok Nago aren't that surprised at all.

Misunderstanding?
Or the usual "leave the best for brother" kind of thinking?
Protective mother comes in.

lol, the Serpent King.
Taiga really likes Mio?
Not because of the King and Queen rule?

Sparks fly as they make the violin.
Otoya's affair. But hes still single.
Poor Yuri.

Poor Wataru, having his love rival trying to console and help him.

Episodes 31 &32

posted ‎‎Sep 30, 2008 11:45 AM‎‎ by Alvin Chong

31==
Just how much does Shima knows about the Fangire?
I guess the past will explain on how he knows?

Megumi's brother, the fighter?
I guess the past will explain?

Nago is kept rational, thats good.
The power of first love?

Shocking news to Kengo, going down the spiral...
Out pops Shima from nowhere, probably to the cafe.
Is that file storage in the cafe?

I kind of admire Rooks way of thinking.
lol

The four feels like the baddies in Faiz.
Well if they continue to meet in that house.
King arrives, he knows and accepts his identity and job?
That cowboy is pretty stupid going on a wild goose chase.

Why does Rook know how to use IXA?

Female IXA don't look much feminine.
So Rook revives and not born to another person like King and Queen.
Suppose Bishop is the same too.

32==
The cliche lovers but enemies thing.
Since when did Wataru get a new hairstyle?

Not Smart Brain? lol
One glove trademark?

How long has it been since they moved in to the house?
Still unpacked?

Otoya has no thoughts of settling down.
Queen has time controlling powers?
The throne and the petals, very artsy, surreal.

Playing "investments", fun.

Nago, losing it again?

lol!!
Taiga comes off his bike and have to take off just one glove before he goes stop the fight.
Like Wataru must wear a scarf.
Taiga looks retro with that messed up hair.

Lost a friend, found a friend.
But turns out that he his yet another enemy again.

No privacy with all those waiters and waitresses staring like that.
All for the artsy effect.

Repetition of that Bishop overlooking Queen scene from earlier.
That mushroom guy from Liar Game!

Mio can't shake off her feelings.
? Are Mio's parents Fangire also?
So Mio is always a Fangire?

Episode 26 to 30

posted ‎‎Sep 24, 2008 1:57 AM‎‎ by Alvin Chong

26==
The cycle.
Will Mio accept her fate?
Executed as traitor?
Is there someone above the 4?
Ok, its among the 4 (Or 3 minus Rook)

Ok what really is Fangire?
Aliens? Understanding what is love, huh?

Wow, Bishop..power.

His doesn't remember but his body does.
lol, imagine Mio waking up and say "shut up I'm trying to sleep here".

Wonder if Garuru will have anything to say about Megumi.
Or he did already (its been long since my last watch)

Wow, that crazy.
Finding that ring.

Hand puppets even in IXA form!?

Wataru appeared at the wrong time.
(Otherwise the story won't progress)

Ok the Tatsulot + weapons usage isn't that cool.
And the Garuru Sword is a bit too short like a Garuru Knife.

Wow, super sudden 360 change for Nago.
(Imagine filming that previous not accepting weakness scene then straight away filming this sorry scene)
Cunning smug or truthful smile?

The Spider/Trantula Fangire is a crazy lover like Otoya.
Dead at last.
The Queen awakens and speaks the same lines as if engraved in her genes.

Nice the Taros4 sure outlived their TV time.
How about making them the mascots of Super Hero Time?

The movie song seems nice.

27==
Kivat wants to return to that day?
What day?

Whats the difference with that knuckle?

The show opens and it shows that our heroes need to train too.
Its not henshin and all super.

It carries on to the sudden conspiracy plotline.
Jinjin-kun knows about Aozora too?

Nifty mouth phone.
Woah, reminds me of the small gun in MIB.
Now we have a fugitive.

The mysterious man slackin in car.
Suddenly a confession worthy of being in a Kindaichi episode.

Suddenly the fugitive appears at Wataru's place just at the right time.
Garuru outside!
I thought Denliner would be behind the door :P

How can both fall in like that?

Ok, what if the IXA in the past is Nago?
Isn't Shizuka a friend?
The scarf is a Wataru trademark.
Ok his friend has a one glove trademark.
Taiga?

Kiva spaced out.-_-
Luckily Tatsulot is alive.
Nice finish scene. Good face, Nago :P

Nice! I like the Taros4 clips!
The singer of the movie song sounds familiar.

28==
So Nago didn't have his IXA knuckle with him?
And all the talk about fighting the IXA of the past.

Its not "that man" anymore.

My god! Play some other tune else please?
Nago plays stallker.
Bewitched, the strong man falls for the strong lady.
The timeless underpass.

Otoya the master.
Nice analogy.

Nago seem so lousy in the past.

Button of the King?
Try falling in love, boy.
lol, first love.

Fangires like to hog the limelight, only one is active at one time.
No diversion, all eyes on him.

Nago adds time-traveller in his resume.

Ok 2 is a pair.
Has Nago gained anything from his time-travel?

Mother!
Taiga!?
Wataru??

No more Taros4 clip.

29==
Nice one! Shizuka!
Wow, those extreme jealously scenes are so well done!

Cowboy.
lol, obvious fake fortune teller.
Wrong one?

Nago still thinks why when Wataru told him.

Yup, sure appearred out of nowhere.

Fatty and boy...not.

Hope Kengo recovers.

How well does Shima know about the Fangire?
And how did the Aozora come about?
Who is Shima?

lol, he would think this way!
Shizuka, could jealously be enough to shake up the Queen?

Megumi wears metal sole shoes?
The limelight is on Rook.

30==
No, no. You won't go to heaven, Rook.
You write off your good deed with that fight.

Emperor or King?

Kivat the master.

Hunch is right, no more jin jin.
Depressed angsty Nago unit2? Not?
Wataru tries his best to support his friend.

Supernatural guy sure has many rings.

lol, letter of resignation.

Wow, thats one fast one!
Doctor Blackjack.
Is that silvery eyeliner thingy on Otoya?

So what is the King's job?
Cowboy goes around targeting people with powers.
An act of low intelligence?
Ok he explains.

Is this good deed thing a time play also?

Nago gets close to inspect Wataru.
Child of a Fangire?

Nice, Shizuka!!
More funnies!!!
Shes more of a protective mother.

Wow, Redman...-_-
Obvious CG..supernatural guy does better.

Things just come out of nowhere in this show.

Finally the secret is out.

Episode 21 to 25

posted ‎‎Sep 24, 2008 1:55 AM‎‎ by Alvin Chong

Finished 21 to 25, some misc thoughts as I watched 24 and 25:

Fangire sure have a criminal mindset.
Recently the time period alternating seem to have become faster.
Will time merge?
Probably they will just climax together.

Mio-chan the Faiz girl!
The new Queen!?
Kurenai and the Queen again.

Love crazy Jirou.
Jirou in his younger days.

Tatsulot is a young lad, reminds me of Ryutaros.
Kiva needs this dragon bat thingy to unlock the new form.
The Kiva System. How did it come about. For what motives?
Anything more to it?

Emperor reminds me of MagiShine.
The Emperor saves the Queen.

Nago seem to have gottten better.
Jirou really fallen, for a short time though.

Sudden Otoya reminds me of Drake.

Not good, what will Nago do to prove his IXA power up worthiness?

Rook has a bike and can survive by just playing games.
The higher Fangire are really a bit broken.
Rook, Queen, what broken character next?

Queen reminds me of the Rose Orphenoch.
Otoya the Castle?
The Queen may find her answer soon.

Shizuka disappeared for quite a while.

Kivat found a friend.

Another broken one!
How much does the Queen job pay?
What is the job of Rook then?

So that puppet guy operates another "faction"?

White Castle Knight protects the Queen.

Will IXA become like Delta?
So thats what happens on excessive IXA prototype use.

Will using living henshin elements(and anime seiyuu) continue on?

The Taros4 sets off on the "Denliner", lol.

The past Queen learns about humanity.
The present Queen is pressured to discard humanity.

Episode 20

posted ‎‎Jun 16, 2008 9:47 AM‎‎ by Alvin Chong

Ok theres a respond after the name.
The plot thickens.
But its pretty vague to confirm.

!!Kivat Bat the Second, give me more details!!
Now its Otoya in both timelines.
Alright, now thats Otoya!

What do you think Nago would do with a Death Note..

!!Thats the mother in the rumours?
Otoya taste defeat.
Makes you wonder how is the King like.
Kiva?

lol, people just happen to be there.

Don't think fire can burn it.
In the first place why is a fire like that here?

Thrown around by mere humans, can't be a Checkmate.

First coop of the Dark Knight and the Shinning Knight.
What does Nago think?

The Queen and and a Kivat.

Episode 19

posted ‎‎Jun 16, 2008 9:47 AM‎‎ by Alvin Chong

Looking at Sakaguchi and Rook, it seems like Nago is behaving like those Fangire.

Hmm, the old Kiva..
Somehow I just think that Otoya was Kiva.
But the origins of Kiva is still untouched on.
The old Kiva..overrun by the emotions of the 3 monsters?
Awaiting the explaination of Kiva.

Nago seem to be holding up again..until he goes buttons.

Woah this is nice! Body switch!
Almost thought it will go on for the whole ep.
Otoya sure is multi-talented.

Otoya makes it to 2008.

Thats careless, Wataru!
As they reveal more of the Castle Dran insides.
Pretty much nothing inside.

As Otoya crosses over more often, what happens to Wataru?
Dissappear?..Forever?

Ok, will rock be IXA now?
!!No need for henshin.
Without knowing the two combo pretty well.
Rock!

Thats a Checkmate?
Yuri I understand but Megumi?
Or does a Checkmate gives off some scary aura?
But Megumi was fighting well with her little gun.

Nice teaser for the movie.

Episode 18

posted ‎‎Jun 16, 2008 9:47 AM‎‎ by Alvin Chong

Strange magical sounds Garuru Saber makes when it slashes.
Man! Nago is really going downhill.
Nago sucks now. :P
Poor Wataru, always making the wrong friends.

Nice mask, Nago.
Wataru gets his "with great power comes great responsibility" lesson.

Ok, I'm dense.
Finally understand that the little girl is the archer.
Wataru gets father's lesson from a stranger.

Ok back to Button Maniac Nago.

Ok so he wanted to fight all along?
lol, Kivat sneeze spoils the momentum.
?? Did Kivat control Wataru? Why did Kiva automatically take out 3 fustles?
Or was it done before?

No night scene for the finisher?

Episode 17

posted ‎‎May 29, 2008 11:52 PM‎‎ by Alvin Chong

Sold his soul to the devil?
Promise to Otoya?
So rose petals have healing properties?

Nago is quite a runner.

The soul-searching journey, huh?
So that Kiva motorbike, did Wataru buy it with the money he got from making violins?
Or his father left it for him?

Wataru dong archery.
Otoya is teaching.
Nago is chasing.

Is the archer girl a Fangire?
Ooo, archer girl is violin little girl?

Jirou can't out-stare the girly.
Wataru's side becomes young vs old.

So this Fangire likes sweaty people?

Wataru/Kiva, a duty or just a vessal?
The 3 monsters are really bored in Castle Dran.

So the fake act as interceptors.
They can't summon.

Episode 16

posted ‎‎May 29, 2008 11:52 PM‎‎ by Alvin Chong

Nothing has more priority than the punishment game.

Wataru hurt.
Rook revived.
Inherited Kiva?
Would like to see the truth in 1986!

Another 'big' battle.
IXA the construction worker.
So lucky that Kiva didn't deactivate.

Finally some interation between Wataru and the 3 monsters?
