THE CLIMAX GOES ON AND ON AND ON
Airs January 20th 2008.
Zeronos Zero Form can’t stand Death Imagin’s great power. Kai has gathered energy and the sky is starting to whirl. Is that destructive event going to repeat itself?
Ryotaro and Momotaros step out of the Den Liner with the words “We won’t let you erase this time.”
Then, Ryotaro finally makes his wish to Momotaros, what could it be?!
NEW X-MEN #46
MESSIAH COMPLEX PART 12
Sinister is dead. The mutant messiah is in the hands of Mystique. X-Force faces the combined wrath of the Marauders and the Acolytes. And the New X-Men must contend with the threat of Predator X. What does this mean for everyone involved? Whatever the outcome, the future of mutantkind begins here!
In an unexpected turn of events, 2007’s sentai was the main toku of the year that brought us the best action, grit, badassery and drama. The villians stole the show and made it so I never missed an episode. And in 2008, it looks like Kamen Rider is the horse to bet on. The fandom’s leading expert in all things Rider, Igadevil, has put up a blog detailing everything we need to know as we close up our time traveling adventures with Den-O and “WAKE UP!” with Kiva. You can read the first bits here for a running start, then hit the jump to read the rest over at Igadevil’s Blog. Ready…..
Kamen Rider Kiva Update
Chances are that by now, you’ve heard about 2008’s Kamen Rider series. The one that was called “Kamen Rider Kiba”. Until suddenly Toei revealed that it’s “Kiva”, but some still go with “Kiba” since it makes just as much (if not more) sense and is, after all, what it literally is pronounced as. But then, “Kiva” is a pun, right? On both “Kiba” and “vampire”, plus Toei said that’s what it is, so they must be right! Then again, they also said that the group which backed up Kamen Rider G3 was the Squid Against Unidentified Lifeforms and that Kabuto’s enemies were called the WARM. And that apparently a good translation for kaizô-ningen is “clone men”.
In any case, until I can see a reason not too, I’m sticking with the Kiva spelling on account of the fact that it appears multiple times in various places (well, magazines, the official series title, and it will probably be on the toy packaging) so I do think that it was fully intentional and not some goofy romanization or something. And also, just for simplicity’s sake (since I assume everyone and their dog will be calling it either Kiva or possibly, with much bitterness, Blood or Vlad.)
In any case, Kamen Rider Kiva is 2008’s Rider series! Starting (or waking as the tagline goes) up on 1/27, it’s just a few weeks away. Details about it have been out there for-freaking-ever by now, although as usual I’ve waited until the major Rider-covering magazines (Hyper Hobby, Figure-O, Terebi Magazine & Terebi Kun) are out before making any fuss about it. And now that those are out (and have been out for some time now), I present my initial thoughts.

So here’s a double meaning behind this week’s title. Well triple…okay maybe more than that but just hear me out.
Aside from the fact that, according to Daryl Surat, R5 Central killed Newtype USA, and that Gainax has just announced yet ANOTHER Gurren Lagann soundtrack that has all the stuff that we’ve been dying to hear since the end of the series, my house was broken into with me inside of it.
Don’t worry I’m fine, all that was stolen was my mom’s laptop and I was shaken up for a few days and it didn’t help that the stress and sudden temperature changes in Wisconsin brought about a nasty case of the flu which turned into a “I’m Not Going To Be Able To Do Any Work” Head Cold, setting back two episodes of R5 and putting me behind on all the radio plays I’m involved with.
Crime aside, there are some really sweet things that came out of the woodwork this week, hence the one positive thing to warrant this title. Most of which you’ll get a kick out of. Hopefully. Even though there isn’t a lot. Blame it on this rush editing of mine.
So yeah, let’s do this like Brutus.
RangerCast scores an interview with the fandom’s very own, August Ragone! He’s been mentioned in TIME Magazine, is critically acclaimed, and this is due in no small part to his smash hit book, Eiji Tsurubaya: Master of Monsters.
