So, dragons are people hundreds of years ago digging up dinosaur fossils and, only having part of a skeleton, came to a wrong conclusion.

Petroleum is made by processing oil, which is fossils submerged and pressurized into a liquid state over millions of years.

A common trope some years back is people displaced in time finding cars amazing.

Put these facts together, you tell a person from hundreds of years ago your metal birds and horseless carriages are able to move by burning the remains of dragons.

It has been apparently simple to get me up and exercising for the first time in over a decade. Being able to download episodes from my server and a digimon fitbit has got me walking more consistently than anything else.

As someone who deeply remembers Lost Kingdoms 2, when was someone gonna tell me Fromsoft made the series? Who was gonna tell me that my obsession with fromsoft games lasted so long?

Listen, like or dislike the series, you can not argue that out of all of the Heisei riders, Den-O is the most consistent and persistent in its story.

Where previous riders had inconsistencies in their movies, due to the scripts having issues with the movie production times, Den-O masterfully worked its movie in the middle of ongoing story and pulled the repercussions into the series.

Post series, where Decade and (occasionally) Zi-O played off of a sort of "What if" storyline, Den-O's story played mostly the same as before, actually giving reason to almost all changes that happened in them (Exception of Zi-O in the actual series, where Ryoutaro is MIA. Question of what happened between movie and series left unanswered.)

Basically, Den-O is consistent as hell, and it also has great character songs for all rider forms.

And this is after having gone through and rewatched all the Heisei riders again.

Managed to get Inarizushi on this, the day Jinka goes off. It is only appropriate.

Tama: "I love my friends and humans just as they are!"

Jinka: Is actively eating rocks

Also, damn, they made Jinka's ascension so much more intense. Like, holy shit.

ACT 1 COMPLETE

Decided to start on animated Garo. Gotta say, he has a point about his armor inheritance, but German's character I more expect from a makai priest, not a knight.

I mean, really, Rei is probably the most flippant RL Garo knight, and you'd never see him naked on the street.

... that last sentence probably made a few people cry.

Did you ever stop to think that maybe your antagonist would maybe be less evil if you gave him a robot dog toy?

Douren: "You fought well, you can take my head if you like."

Tama: "We don't need it."

Jinka: "I kinda want it."

Tama: "TOO BAD!"

Also, something that I've loved since the manga.

It was Shakugan that taught Shinsuke how to converse with Arabuke. And it was Arabuke that broke Shinsuke's rage at Resshin.

In a way, it was Shakugan that broke Shinsuke's rage. And it's just a beautiful show of love.

Seems about 13 episodes per act (not counting if there's recap episodes) looking forward to the act 1 finale and act 2.

Current language goal: Being able to play the first Sakura Taisen game without a translated guide.

Difficulty: Listen, there's N1 level kanji in the first dialog line. It's gonna be difficult.

Current progress: Well, I'm currently using Duolinguo, and I'm at Section 3/5 Unit 34/45 (for section). I'm making progress.

Git my Inarizushi early for today, ready for Jinka's assault on the dangaishu.

Edit: Seriously, parts are missing from my mind, but Douren kicking ass is always at the top of memory.

Flicky Tama ears ftw.

Edit 2: Oooh, this is what I've been waiting for for part 1. Jinka levels up and Shinsuke gets his fight with Barry.

Considering where it leaves the fight, I feel it's gonna be more than a 12 episode season. We might get all 3 acts before the year is out. I'm excited.

Starting re-watch of Kamen Rider Wizard while taking a night break from Lupinranger vs. Patranger.

It's Donuts Time!
