In my country, many of the 'cyber cafes' are actually illegal gamble centers. PCs set up with various gambling softwares. It's easy to spot these places (e.g. Shops with heavily tinted windows and random worn off game posters)

I like how in the book, it's just another day of the alien war. It seems kind of impossible to defeat all the mimics since they keep on multiplying beneath the sea. We may actually see a solution to end the war as the writer Hiroshi Sakurazaka is working on a sequel book.

Well, the book did have a bittersweet ending.

Watched it. Not in my top list but still a good series. I still have some series to catch up (Kuuga, Hibiki, Den-O, Kiva and Showa Riders). Agito, 555, Blade, W, OOO and Gaim is in my top list so far. I'm not sure about getting into Den-O, I don't like its humor and Momotaros' gang.

Monsters/Inves has different theme too. Blue=Japanese, Red=Western and Green=Chinese. Each color has its own designer. The 3 of the main 4 riders also match up with this formula while Zangetsu (white) matches with Rosyuo (maybe representing the leader?)

You can skip Fourze, the story is one of the weakest in the Neo Heisei-era along with Wizard in my opinion. Those two feels really boring to me. Both plots are very predictable (e.g. identity of Wiseman from Wizard)

Much like KR Fourze (astronaut+high school theme), the fruit+warrior theme did made me scratch my head at first before the series was even aired. But once I found out Gen Urobuchi (Madoka, Fate/Zero) is the writer of Kamen Rider Gaim not long after, I knew he will never let me down. Gaim stopped using the 2-episode…

Wait... did the witch just Rider Kick?

Kamen Rider Gaim is taking its roots back to the early Heisei series. Gen Urobuchi did say that he was a fan of Ryuki's rider war concept. Luckily for him, Gaim has a wide range of riders after many years of just 2 riders.
You still have to keep in mind that Kamen Rider is a tv show aim to sell toys. Of course they…

How could you say no to GAIM?! So far it's very very good compared to the past few series before it (Neo-heisei). No more 2-episode arc & monster of the week (thank god, fourze & wizard has exhausted that) Yes, the fruit theme is sort of silly BUT the series is written by the glorious Gen Urobuchi, the man behind…

I recognize that guy! SUBARASHI!

The memories… Used to play this a lot.

The manga is a faithful adaption to the light novel while still missing quite some good bits that could not translate into it. E.g. Keiji's internal monologue and details. I still recommend you to get the book. It's quite short.

The mimics pierce their enemy with their 'tentacles'. They do not feed on humans but soil to terraform the planet.

So how good is the film compare to the book? The film made tons of changes, e.g. the Main Character, Cage. I've read the book but have not watch the film. I face palmed when the trailer reveals Rita's looping power which we don't know till the 3 quarter of the book.

Because the aliens (with nano tech) copies the first life form they see. In this case, the aliens landed in the sea and copied sea creatures mainly starfish. Their goal is to terraform the planet to suit their needs. As time goes by, the mimics adapt and evolve to be able to fight back against the humans. Due to their…

The Death Note movies are really well done, especially the different ending which is superior than the manga. Now Hollywood is trying to get their hands on the it....... Stahp it.

Read the light novel guys. It's awesome and nothing like what the movie portrayed.

Read the light novel guys, it's awesome!
