Where Every Scroll is a New Adventure
Okay, burning need for a citation on that last one. I’m fully able and willing to believe it’s real though. Dan Kuroto once he’s ditched the sane, helpful CEO act for the true transcendental being he truly is, just about brings a tear to my eye. As for Iwanaga-san himself, he becomes even more amazing with every new fact I learn about him.
i really do think kuroto dan from kamen rider ex-aid (2016) is one of the most characters ever
Wow, the tip? I can touch my nose with my tongue but I can’t manage the tip. Still, nice to know I share a skill with one of my favourite scenery-chewers.
I’ve stopped being surprised by finding out new insane things about Iwanaga EXCEPT this one time
Dan Kuroto after he’s dropped the good guy act and launches into the scenery chewing is one of the most glorious hamtastic performances out there, and you can feel how much fun Iwanaga-san is having. The only thing that could beat it is Shindo Gaku’s work as Killbus in the Build New World movie. There’s good chance that if they were close by, even sets he didn’t appear on had tooth-marks. One can only hope the stagehands were given proper guides to each actors tastes so they could properly season each set beforehand. “it’s a Dan Kuroto scene, salt? Chicken salt? Pepper? Soy or Barbeque sauce?! I NEED TO KNOW!”
I just learned that the actor who plays Kuroto Dan, Tetsuya Iwanaga, has a lot of talents. He’s pharmacist (I think making him the only Ex Aid cast member with a medical background), fluent in English, and an actual “genius” in real life. For instance, he got a “triple A rating” on the JAXA astronaut qualification test.
He’s also seems to be soft spoken:
(He’s like this in other interviews, not just the one here in English.)
I bring this last part up because I knew he was having fun playing Kuroto but wow, this drives home just how much he’s having a blast.
I watched a random compilation vid of henshin sequences for most of the Kamen Rider shows (being Youtube, the top comment of course was “I like the bit where they say henshin.”) and well, I did want something different to watch.
I started off with Kamen Rider W, since a review recommended it as a good starting series, and I was pretty much shipping Phidari before I even saw an episode.
Also, Suda Masaki is omfgsodamnkawaii and I am just under the wire as far the Standard Creepy Rule goes. Although it’s more of a puppy crush, as in- I view him in a very similar way as I would an adorable puppy. Yes, I kinda want to mash his head into my boobs, but not in a sexual way. I have all these feelings that I don't know how to process properly. In the meantime.... so cute!
Then I started on a bit of Den-O because I liked the sword form henshin jingle. And Satoh-san, so impressed how he portrays multiple characters. I know it’s all in collaboration with the suit actors, still that’s a lot of work. Plus there’s the dancing, (and I love how Ryutaros’s special power is being able to summon backup dancers and create flash-mobs) and you did all that whilst sick? Damn.
And then.... well turns out I’m a bit too ADD to binge watch a series. Heck as kid, I was usually in the process of reading two to three different novels at any given time. Given that, might as well check out another series.
Wowowowowow Four-ze! Wowowowow Fun, ne? Man is Gen-chan tall or what? Love the interaction with Shoutaro in the movie, Taro club away! JK looks like a live-action version of Zaou Ryuu. I need more screen-time to determine do I love him for him or for his resemblance to my fave anime man-hoe?
Also, Kamen Rider Meteor- love the disco henshin theme.... is that small blast all there is? I can’t find it on Youtube. I can find a ten-minute loop of Shabadoobie touchie henshin (and why haven’t more people made that into a remix?! I sought out the loop because: 1: So catchy & 2: my brain was demanding "More!!! the henshin sequence isn’t long enough!”) So yeah, more disco please.
Got further through Fourze before oversaturation hit. Well, looking through the Kamen Rider wiki (I needed a guide for who the heck these other riders are that keep showing up in the fanfics) and since Heisei Phase 2 has the characters I’m seeing most, I’m focusing on that for now.
So what next? For some reason I’m still hesitating on OOO, and I don’t think I’m quite ready for Gaim. Zi-O? I’m waiting for the right fanfic to fix the time-rewriting first (Seriously, you try to take my フィリップ away and I will fucking cut you.) Maybe it’s just the fic, but Build looks a little too emotionally heavy at the moment.
Episode 1: I know these shows are marketing toys to kids, but holy crap guys, slow down. (Plus, the 90′s called- they want their colour scheme back.) Still, this looks- aptly enough- to be what the doctor ordered.
Episode 2: Love the op theme. Kagami Hiiro-sensei? You are being such a dick right now. Will someone smack this idiot over the head ... WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?! IF YOU’RE ALL “SAVING THE PATIENT IS ALL THAT MATTERS”, THEN WHY ARE YOU DUELING INSTEAD ON FOCUSING ON SAVING THE PATIENT’S LIFE?! Someone grab this boy and give him an priority adjustment and ego-ectomy stat.
Episode 3: Why wasn’t Tagia given counseling? Proper intervention and maybe you wouldn’t have flushed a medical career down the toilet. So he got hooked on gaming and put it before medicine. You assholes gave him the driver and gashat in the first place. The game was implied to be faulty, (or at least, that’s the impression I got) meaning he was essentially given a mind-altering substance, had his priorities warped as a result and it lead to him loosing a patient.
So for that he got booted out the door, with the lack of a medical license now making him an unskilled laborer with an addiction problem. Of course he’s back and looking for a fix. (Are they gonna redeem this guy? Hope so. BTW? Love the hair, dude.)
Episode 4: “There’s no point if you don’t ride me.” Excuse me while I pause the episode and giggle for a while.
Ah, Ex-Aid, I think I’m going to like you.
Flashback time: In the analog days, most girls when they hit those teen years moved onto trashy romance novels. I, as what I believe they are now calling “Xennials”, was still stuck on sci-fi novels during the switch-over and by the time I was interested in such fiction, well I went right to slashfic. (Remember mailing lists?) Joined my first (and only) slash-list at 16. Despite the reigning 18+ rule, I was honest about my age and they let me in anyway. (Perhaps if only to keep an eye on me.) Then mailing lists kind of died off and it was onto web archives.
And that’s when I paused the ep and logged on to type this up. There’s a certain point in people’s lives, where to some degree, they mentally stop aging. On the whole, a lot of the time, I’m pretty much still 16 (Probably a good thing, apparently my mother’s still only 25.) randomly touring though my early 20′s and occasionally re-visiting being 7. Actually when I was in my teens, I think I was time-travelling on occasion to what might very much turn out to be my 70′s (”In my day....:)
Where was I? Oh- “There’s no point if you don’t ride me.” Said the tanned guy in the leather jacket to the clumsy naive young twink of a doctor. You can’t put that in front of me and not have me shed at least 10 years worth of maturity.
(Actually, lemme just check the fic count on this pairing.... ) Still kinda want to pair Emu and Parad, but I have got to start to try watching shows before I start paring off the characters.

Here Kamen Rider Ex-aid, a design that was quite out of the established but that I have a certain appreciation for being my first series. As for the construction, the most difficult thing for me was the hair because I'm not so used to it, but the tenth attempt was similar anyway, I hope you like it.

Aquí Kamen Rider Ex-aid, un diseño que se salio bastante de lo ya establecido pero que tengo un cierto aprecio por ser mi primera serie. A cuanto la construcción, lo mas que se me dificulto fue el cabello debido a que no estoy tan acostumbrado, pero quedo parecido el decimo intento de todas formas, espero les guste.
here kamen rider snipe, one of the rider with a personality according to his costume design and with an interesting evolution.
I hope everyone likes it.
here kamen rider brave, personally I liked his design of knights mostly the design of old warrior in the rider, but that is another issue.
I hope you like it and we have already reached 100 followers. Thank you very much for your support and we continue to grow up.
here kamen rider ex-aid, I admit that it is not one of my best works and the hardest thing was to make the eyes.
I hope you like it.
That I can say I am a fan of kamen rider and without mixing it with brickheadz
