.. seriously. Why aren't we talking about Godzilla more now?! Also, Empire Magazine has another cover out. Shot of the King from the front!
We could seriously do an entire show just on Godzilla.
Congrats on the first episode of the show. You did a great job. I totaly agree on the look of the Tokkyuger villains, they are fantastic. They look a little bit like the traditional venetian masks.
The robot design is not as good looking as the previous ones in my opinion, but it's functional with trains. The shoulders remind me of something else, although I cannot quite remember what.
Gaim #18 was good, with thw implicit morale that in order to achieve something you have to fight for it....
Speaking of Bravo, is it my impression, or are they pushing the cross dressing issue in the Kamen Rider shows? I refer also to the doughnut vendor in Wizard....
Anyway, thanks and keep up the good work :)
Thanks for the compliments!
I can see where you are coming from in regard to the flamboyant characters in Kamen Rider. I too was reminded of the doughnut vendor when Bravo appeared in Gaim.
Whether or not this is a new thing remains to be seen, since it is too early to be called a trend. However, if the characters continue to be as entertaining as Bravo, I have no issues with more of this type of character appearing in future KR series.
