Maki freaking out about his doll falling off of his arm after a serious speech about ending the world or a flashback to some deranged trauma from his childhood is an example of this. One scene will contain SRS BUSINESS and the next second will be something not just funny, but completely ridiculous. Den-O really brought forth extra bursts of comedy, and many of the Rider shows since then have been a bit looser with the funny stuff. Now, humor in Kamen Rider isn't a new thing. However, it did make the guy even harder to take completely seriously, which brings me to another interesting point: The humor. Maki too much, probably because of the funny scenes where the doll falls off of his arm and he freaks out in a rather humorous way. All the poor lug wanted was some candy and motherly love. I also found myself liking the Greeed to some extent, especially Gamel.poor, dumb, childish Gamel. Really? I mean, I love Date as much as anybody else, but I really thought Gotou deserved more time to be awesome before Date comes back to save the day with his bro-tier charm, not to mention that Date sure didn't take long to recover from his underground surgery. Gotou is truly great as Birth, but lo and behold, Gotou isn't Birth for even ten episodes before Date is back and is using a prototype Birth suit to help his Brotou out. It's such a glorious moment when he transforms for the first time, especially since he had been working his way out of Date's shadow for about 2/3 of the show. One of my biggest beefs with how the show is handled concerns Gotou becoming Birth. Even if Ankh is present, this guy completely ransacks the scene with his bro-ness and likability. The other big show stealer is Date, the first Kamen Rider Birth. Every once in a while, something more trickles to the surface, and it makes him incredibly intriguing. Throughout the show, he actually experiences some very important character development that never quite comes to light until near the end, partly because it's in his very nature to suppress any emotion or action that doesn't make him look like a complete turd. It also could be that Ankh is just more interesting than Eiji in several regards. Maybe it's Ryosuke Miura's solid performance as an actor that grabbed my attention. The guy is a complete prick through 90% of the series, and yet, I couldn't help but like him and be completely enthralled with his time on screen. Unfortunately, there are a couple of show-stealers to contend with in OOO, so Eiji's status as the main character loses a bit of its kick at times. He never really thinks of himself, which is an issue brought up several times during the course of the show. At the same time, the guy is almost completely selfless, wanting nothing more than to help other people. He's appreciates the simple things in life, like having clean, flashy underwear and some spare change. Anyway, I think I found a reason to like just about all of them, even the Greeed. How they are handled is a different story. The characters in OOO are probably one of its strongest points, IMO, at least in terms of likability. That covers many of the plot basics, though things thicken up as it moves forward.
#Kamen rider ooo anything goes series#
He comes across as a bit prickly at first, but comes into his own as the series progresses. Assisting Eiji and Date is Gotou, a Kougami employee who wishes to save the world. Akira Date, a bro-tastic former combat medic, dons this suit to collect cell medals for the foundation, and he usually ends up assisting Eiji and Ankh in their fights, taking all of the cell medals in the end, of course. Maki's brains, also results in the creation of Birth, a modular and mechanized suit that is fueled by cell medals (as opposed to OOO and core medals). The foundation's investment, along with Dr. The power and funding of this organization can be both a great help to Eiji and Ankh or an annoying setback, depending on how El Presidente decides to play his hand. Maki, a strange scientist with a doll perched on his arm, sets a world-ending scheme into motion, intending on using the Greeed and the medals as a catalyst.Īlso heavily involved in this whole medal-gimmick is the Kougami Foundation, whose president, called Cakeboss by many fans, is constantly seen making a cake for some occasion. Medals come and go, and the plot thickens when Dr. The plot pretty much turns into a rat race for a good portion of the show, with Greeed constantly betraying other Greeed to get their hands on their core medals and Eiji defeating their Yummies, manifestations of a human host's desires.
