Penguin Cannot Lie: The Finale is Near

This post contains my rambling about watching OOO. I just have the urge to write something after I saw episode 46. 2 more episodes and it'll be done... Sometimes I wonder whether this franchise is really a kid show.

(There's no blatant spoiler.)
Tell me again, why did I start writing this?
........................................................................................................................
You've probably noticed that I spent too much time on this so called kid show.

Yeah, I noticed that too... and I regret nothing.
At first I watched the show merely because people said that the show is really light. (in a sense of "you don't have to think much to enjoy the plot") I was getting bored of some psychological dramas, so I picked the latest kamen rider season just for clearing my mind out of heavy clouds.
...
After few episodes, I concluded that...
The show was too light, and I can't bear the plot's slow progress.
I almost put it outside of my watching list but my friend convinced me to keep watching. At least until I caught up with the latest episode that time.
So there I went watching the show up to episode 28, the bizzare celebration of 1000 episodes.

My gut feeling told me that the next episode would be interesting. Well... it was. The show gradually became better since episode 29. I continued watching it every Friday (waiting for tv-nihon sub) and was captivated with Eiji's back story and his problems with err... purple medals.

Hit 38 episodes... the finale is near but there are so many things to be told. To catch up with the deadline, the story writers put a series of wham episodes that surprisingly went well. Normally when a show does a wham episodes chain, it will feel rushed, right? KR OOO seems rushed too, but I enjoyed these episodes a lot. Cannot be described here without leaking major spoilers: they launched an emotional rollercoaster from episode 42 to the finale. I'm glad I followed the show this long~ Thank you my dear friend whose didn't want to be mentioned *wink*

About "wondering whether this is a kid show" thingie? There are things to be mentioned such as... fanservices, dying people, politic situation, complicated emotional problem between Hina-Ankh-Eiji and grey area villains (can't possibly hate them... they are so pitiful. Except for Kazari, I hate him, thank you so much for dying.) then again... I'm watching one of Kamen Rider franchises. Shows that pretty dark in Showa era (this is Heisei, though). I mean... if I'm not wrong, there's someone whose became a kamen rider to revenge his brutally murdered family by sacrificing his humanity. What a kid show. ^^;

--Episode 46--
Last Sunday, I watched the latest episode in keyhole tv... again. That's pretty dumb of me because 1) the stream was really crowded, 2) I don't understand Japanese, duh. 3) overtime sub is always done about 24 hours after the actual airing. Well... even though the quality was horrible and I can't tell what were they arguing about, I can see that it was a wonderful episode. Haven't see the subbed version until now... waiting for tv-nihon~

^this scene is... asdfghjklpleasesaveeijianko ;_;

Now I think the whole 'light' episodes are really important. If they rushed the story from the beginning, it is impossible to make a strange bond between Eiji and Ankh. My hat tipped to the story writer... and Ryon (because of his magnificent acting skill, I heard he has a phobia towards height)

And then I surfed the net to see people reaction... there's nothing, of course... they hold their comments until the sub's out and distributed. Oh well, let me surf through the actors' blog~

Damn it Shu, you ruined my melancholy mood.
When I opened Iwa's blog, I saw a post about him being trolled by Shu.
Hilariously trolled. And not long after that... he got trolled for the second time.
