Recently, Premium Bandai teased that the company will finally be releasing S.H.Figuarts Kamen Rider Genm Zombie Gamer Level X-0. For those unaware, the figure is a slight retool of the previously released S.H.Figuarts Kamen Rider Genm Zombie Gamer Level X. The original version was released through Premium Bandai in Fall 2017, while this figure was teased later in 2018. Now, the difference between the two figures are the ‘Life Bar’ meters on the figures’ chest, and the transformation belts used. The figure is based on the Rider form of…

After nearly two years of teasing this figure, Tamashii Nations has finally decided to release S.H.Figuarts Kamen Rider Ex-Aid Muteki Gamer!

Kamen Rider Ex-Aid episode 10 & 11 review

December 24, 2016June 19, 2017 Anthony Michel

The short, short version of the story is that I couldn’t be tasked to do a review last week because of not feeling up to it. Now, I have to do two while sitting at the airport waiting for a connecting flight. Isn’t this just the merriest of Christmas’? Episode 10 taught Emu, in the Iron Sheiks words “to be Humble” after getting owned by DragonKnight Hunter Z’s power. Learning that doctors have to work together with their compatriots. Knowing it will be hard to do, Emu then essentially tricks the others into working…

Kamen Rider Ex-Aid episode 8 & 9 Review

December 14, 2016June 19, 2017 Anthony Michel

I’m on a mission right now, so the delayed review of episode 8 will get thrown in with 9. Now it is time to excite! Episode 8 dealt with the fall out of episode 7, namely the old virus infected man and his relationship with his Daughter. We learn that the RoboVirus, Snipe failed to kill last time blows up the old man’s Factory, and he actually values the lives of his employees over that of his Factory (it being one of those fictional workplaces where everyone loves the boss…

Samurai Level – Kamen Rider Ex-Aid Episode 7 Review

November 27, 2016June 19, 2017 Anthony Michel

The amount of lies, viruses and Gashats increase! Our resident Bike gets more focus this week, timed with the release of a new toy that is for him funnily enough. Kiriya, our smooth talking coroner gets himself involved with the patient of the week, an older man with a worrying daughter that works for him. Since Kiriya is an untrustworthy dick, he gets shut out of CR, but finds his way in just as all hell breaks loose as two viruses living in the man burst out to attack. How lucky that both of these new viruses have…

The Third Level – Kamen Rider Ex-Aid episode 5 Review

November 6, 2016June 19, 2017 Anthony Michel

Think Pepopi-positively people! I know I have been, though it hasn’t helped my Rusty Knees… Now, four Gashats are missing, and the Riders are put on the case… good thing Emu had come across the dude the Genm CEO fingered as the thief suffering from Bugster Infection. Convenient isn’t it? Natuarally, the guy runs after Brave and Asuna arrive on the scene, though they quickly run into a Robot Bugster with the Gekitotsu Robots Gashat embeded in its’ skull. Too bad Kamen Rider Genm appears, kicks it to Level 3 and kicks…

Excite Bike – Kamen Rider Ex-Aid Episode 4 Review

October 26, 2016June 19, 2017 Anthony Michel

Playing with the review format exploded in my face something fierce, so back to the more recap style. Emu starts up bummed that he lost the Mighty Action X Gashat, but he can’t dwell on that for long as Coroner, Kujou Kiriya that also knows about Emu being Ex-Aid and having lost his Gashat, enlists him to help his Bugster infected friend. The Gemn CEO drops by CR to dump some exposition about how Gashats and the game they are based on are different, along with how only one of each Gashat…

Getting Guud – Kamen Rider Ex-Aid Episode 3 Review

October 21, 2016May 31, 2021 Anthony Michel

The roster keeps growing as we add another Doctor Rider to the game, but this one has zero shits to give. The ball gets rolling as Dr. Emu (ka Ex-Aid) is having to deal with yet another difficult kid, this one being scared of Doctors. He predictably runs off, and succumbs to the Bugster virus within him due to the stress of being around Emu. That’s when disgraced Doctor Taiga enters the game, first confronted by Graphite and his human buddy, then the Virus as Kamen Rider Snipe Lvl. 1. Snipe…

Press Start! – Kamen Rider Ex-Aid Episode 01 Review

October 4, 2016May 31, 2021 Anthony Michel

The gaming doctor Rider has arrived! Will it be a fresh show to wash the bad taste of Ghost away? Let’s us hope so by hitting that Start Button then! Our seres begins with a monologue on the nature of heroes, namely medical professional’s who save lives every day. We then transition to our hero, Dr. Houjou Emu, a Pediatrics’s Intern, furiously hammering on a Neo Geo Pocket (or a fake system that look like one anyway) before getting dragged back into the hospital to do his damn job. We…

Kamen Rider Ex-Aid – Full Trailer

September 1, 2016May 29, 2021 Billy "TaJa" Doyle

The time has come for the release of the Full Trailer for Kamen Rider Ex-Aid! The new Riders will battle it out to decide who is the best doctor and gamer. The series is set to air on October 2 at 8 am JST, and from the trailer I am actually more interested in the show than I already was. Some of the visuals already look different from previous seasons, and seem look akin to the Summer Movies for Kamen Rider. So could this mean this season has a bigger…
