(Wow, after never wrote about it like in forever (pretty much been keeping up with it, though; currently at episode 42), I wouldn't have guessed that Wizard would sort of bring me back here.)

Let me say something, since I'm going to burst* without writing it all down. And I know I probably should take my reply to the place the discussion originated, but I don't like to confront people, so it's here in my own corner of the web.

(*Not literally, of course. But I'm the type to exaggerate my feelings like that. I wonder if my frequent use of hyperbole might get annoying sometimes... Being close to my own writing, I never see a problem -- sometimes I'm even a bit confused that I'm taken literally when I don't intend to be serious at all. Well, when that happens, it's probably my fault for not being clear. )

( Shunpei and Nitou. No specific spoilers, but cut just in case. )

( Real life stuff )

( More like note to self... )

(Tags are deceptive, by the way, because other than Otomen, they are mostly one-line references.)

Well, not really feel like I can make specific comments on the episodes themselves, so I want to talk about the voice actors instead. Assume (hopefully not very specific) spoilers for the series in tags under the cut.

( The good )

( Not their faults but I'm unreasonable either way )

( Specifically Kamen Rider OOO (might spoil episode 5) )

So, to sum it up, I like having (hearing) anime voice actors (from anime I'm at least familiar with) doing voices for tokusatsu shows. However, I guess I just like clinging to familiarity. For one single character (not possessed nor having split personalities or something I haven't thought of), when the voices across the different forms don't match, it is a little jarring to me and more often than not leads me to believe that the human form and the non-human form are two separate characters (unless the human form actor is very very good and/or the suit actor for the non-human form is very very good and/or the voice actor for the non-human form is very very good)...

Finished KR Double (the TV episodes, at least), but I can't find words to describe how amazing and satisfying it has been. I might still write something about it if something good (and hopefully not already discussed countless times elsewhere) come to me. For now, I'm trying to move on to the next series.
