So I started watching Kamen Rider Gaim.
I said as much on
Twitter, but it bears repeating: Gaim strikes
me as what happens when a man watches the movie version of West Side Story, and takes it WAY too seriously -- and upon
realizing that the streets of New York aren’t filled with gang battles won via
elaborate dance moves, proceeded to have a nervous breakdown.
The show starts in one place, and becomes
something completely different barely a quarter of the way in. Without giving away any spoilers, let’s just
say that head writer Gen Urobuchi has evidently been playing a lot of Devil Survivor…and unfortunately,
happened to watch huge swaths of the abysmal anime adaption.
That -- much like the
majority of this post -- is pretty depressing. So you might want to have your favorite comedic video or song uploaded.
(Should your search fail, Gaim will provide.)
