TV-Nihon has caught up with Kiva releases, YAY! \:D/
And their forums are still the most amusing ever: We have Otoya lovers, duck haters, IXA lovers but Nago haters! XD
After some Takenoko praising <3, here we go!
KR Kiva EP 12
In this episode:
Our creepy fangire reappears, Yuki and Otoya have a date and IXA's ass is kicked.
This episode presents a new feature in the OP, introducing IXA's Henshin! *______*
Back in 1986, Yuri demands to know why Jiro has the IXA system, developed by Yuri's mother, after a confrontation with Jiro gets a bit depressed.
On 2008, Nago-san made his victory dance too early, announcing his victory to Shima-san and keeps boasting his Raito complex.
Wataru's elbow still hurts, but keeps practicig with the Ikemens band.
Kengo tries to be a good friend, and this screencap can look so wrong. ^^;;
...but Wataru keeps relying better on Nago-san. >.>
But come on, his worried face is adorable!! ^///^
This is the scarf of love moment XD
Until Nago-san discovers he's in a band and apparently that's the most useless thing in the world.
Nago-san can't handle the truth held by Rock n'roll and gets in a nasty mood. (Isn't that police harrasment? O.o)
So we have more mecha-walking and Nago-kun steams out his frustration with our creepy fangire, who tells him Kiva is still alive.
Back in 1986, Yuri drowns his sorrow dating with Otoya: lunch, amusement park, boat rowing, swimming.
But Otoya refuses to be around her if she is't quite herself. Later Otoya asks Jiro to give back the IXA system and Yuri joins into the request.
This says a lot about Otoya's character and possibly in further episodes we'll see he's more than meets the eye. And of course, this makes me shake my shipper flag like mad.
And we have Jiro crumbling down ::gasps::
Obviously, Jiro's denial to give the IXA system is because of his personal agenda, but still there's a sense of protection of Yuri while IXA isn't fully developed still. Yes, here goes a crumb for the Jiro/Yuri shippers.
In 2008, Ikemens are trying to get throught their first gig and Megumi joins into the band.
But Nago-san has an evil plan: Uses the creepy stalker Fangire to attack Megumi and lure Kiva.
Insert the Henshin sequence, as much as I love it, you'll get bored. XD;;
So IXA begins the attack and then in a symbolic way the scarf of love moment is over. Could it be what Kivat said about being moody?
And behold!! the motorcycle battle begins!
Kiva summons Burn Booster, an accesory for the motorcycle sponsored by Nessie Building that promptly will kick IXA's ass. No comments about the form, OK?
And look, he can ride his bike without hands!! XD
No, this isn't the duel of the fates XD
Well, and the winner is... Wataru. Oddly enough. That made me happy, maybe Nago-san needs a shaken up so his crazy ideas settle down.
I hope Katokei never stages A Streetcar Named Desire, maybe after a bit more coaching... >.>;;;
Wataru overcomes his stage panic and shows that his performing skills are... a bit mada mada mada. ^^;;
A band named "Handsome men" when half of the band are women... ^^;; But let's not get into gender issues...
On our next episode:
Jiro's agenda (includes shotabait harrasment!), the woes of producing a band, Nago-san loses it, and Otoya has the upper fist hand!
Katokei still needs a bit of voice coaching dubbing his IXA scenes, he sounds beyond cardboardy.
Well, I got a it much carried away with the screencapping, but I REALLY liked this episode, I agree with the audience who loves more the side characters than Wataru, but still I'm not on the DIE, NAGO!! mode. I have expectations for this character, would he become an Arch-Nemesis or he will change at all? Maybe with a brainwash and stop reading Death Note would be enough.
Of course the 1986 arc is far more interesting, but we're following this timelines for a reason.
In short, I have hopes for the show. ^^
You don't care about the episode? Here are some Katokei screencaps showing his prettiness wide acting range
KR IXA Kiva EP 13!
This episode unveils Otoya as the dark horse of the series. Kouhei can make it big after this role.
In this episode:
Nago-san is a sore loser, Ikemens keep rocking and Jiro learns an important lesson!
We change creepy stalker in this ocasion! Now we have a shady producer.
Is it just me, or this sequence really looks wrong? Oh, and TakiEiji crumbs for the fans.
Nice detail with the mirrors, btw XD
Jiro is beyond awesome, that's all. Despite his Absolute Domination plans. ^^;;
Kivat is using some Men's shampoo in Wataru XD
Back in 1986, Jiro can use some tricks with girls, but everything is part of the plan. But Otoya is there to keep an eye on his girl. XDD
Errr, Can somebody give Yuri a diving tutorial? I think she hurt herself O.o
Nago-san is a bit out of his mind after Kiva Kicked his ass.
Yes, he did stoppped the car that way
Maybe he hasn't had his morning coffee.
After recognizing his victim his delinquent, I wonder:
a) His agenda has a scanner
b) he has an awesome memory
c) his notes are written in code, so he can have his database light and handy.
In short, he beated him, wich proves he has anger issues; also without his IXA suit, he punches like a girl. XD
It was difficult to screencap, hence the crappyness, gomen.
And he experiences how feels like being mistreated a bit XD
Back in 1986, Otoya tries to stop Jiro's EBIL agenda, but he gets the memo about Jiro's spawning plans with Yuri.
With the risk of breaking
ellipsesbandit brain,here's a new topic: Kat has talked about slashing Jiro/Otoya. I can tell the subtext is something else.. XD And thise parallel posts between Kouhei's and Matsuda doesn't help, but they're fun XD
Rule #1 NEVER EVER drop your Henshin device! (Actually, this is a recap)
Kouhei fans, rejoice! he can be a Rider too! XD
See, I'm not biased, I can screencap Otoya's Henshin XD
Question!: Did Otoya rehearsed at home?
Or the suit has an autopilot program or how comes everybody just KNOWS how to use the IXa device? O.o
And here we hang until next episode!
In our next episode:
The battle continues, more male bonding, more TakiEiji crumbs (will he finally appear?),
Comments:
In this episode, Megumi has been shoved away two times. XD
Bashaa was in action again, but his ass was severely kicked. And dear God, He belongs to the merman clan!! XD
I still believe Seto's bass playing is way better than his violin playing >.>;;
I wonder, I'm I being sidetracked with the screencaps? You want a Katokei screencaps zip? More talk about characters or this way is fine?
I accept anonymous comments!
Note: Screencaps from the Order of Zeronos fansub and Raw version. Well, they were out first earlier this week. ^^;;
