Kamen Rider Gaim (2013)

desconstrução de genero

Gaim é uma ótima desconstrução do gênero de tokusatsu, gosto dos personagens em geral e de como todos servem para contar essa historia de amadurecimento

Alguns plots não fazem sentido e o começo é muito ruim mas ainda é muito divertido acompanhar os personagens e os twists geniais. Também não gostei de como certos personagens( principalmente a Marika e a Mai) tiveram seu desenvolvimento cortado.
Tem coisa que podia ter sido melhor mas eu pessoalmente me diverti bastante vendo e recomendo para qualquer um que queira ver um rider um pouco mais dark.
Urobuchi por favor escreva mais riders

Don't Say No, Just Watch More!

Getting past the silly concept of "Fruit Samurai", and despite the awkward, way-too-long dance scenes that happen early in the show, Gaim is a stellar entry into the Kamen Rider franchise. The characters here are written with great depth and are very interesting. The fight choreography is good and the suit designs are great. Oren Pierre Alphonso is one of my favorite characters in any Kamen Rider series. I do have to say it has its issues though. It frequently has to find time to insert crossovers to other things such as upcoming movies - between important plot points they will arbitrarily add in weird moments for the sake of making these things episodes. On top of that, watching the group dance is strange. It's like they wanted to do something like Sega's Jet Set Radio franchise, but they couldn't show their protagonists doing something illegal like spray painting, but they still wanted that "street" feeling, so they put in these silly dance scenes. However, you're gonna want to stick around to see the great way the characters develop through the series, the cool suit designs, and the interesting twists and turns of the plot. Amazing stuff!
