Kamen Rider Agito is the eleventh installment in the popular Kamen Rider tokusatsu franchise. The series repesents the 30th Anniversary of the Kamen Rider Series.

Okay, maybe this is my favorite one out of the bunch. I can't quite say for certain. I haven't seen them all but damn if Shoichi wasn't the cutest thing ever. Wait. Ryuuki was cute too. Ohhhhhh! A dilemma! I love them all so far. I'm turning into a fanatic!

The storyline of this series' KR was by far the BEST! I was quite taken by it and will admit that I was bawling like a baby at the end. I was like "Not again!". Ya know how the KR endings aren't always the best. They die, they leave, love is unrequited. Well, they had me. I was bawling because I was terribly sad and then "poof"......I was bawling from tears of sheer happiness. Those KR writers pulled a fast one on me.

Ahhh! My love of the KR. Gives me joy that I can't seem to describe. Screw Power Rangers....such a childish adaption of this awesome show. *sigh* Now I will sit back and dream of Kashu Toshiki........................*shivers from sheer happiness*

Notebooks that foretell deaths, numerous urban legends, and murders with no clues... a series of strange incidents occur, and people are lead into a deep labyrinth of mysteries. Five fledgling teen detectives of the Dan Detective Academy, which was founded by the legendary and renowned detective, Morihiko Dan, work together to solve such difficult cases. Stealthily at work behind the strange incidents is an evil crime syndicate called the "Meiosei". They are a group of intellectuals who have long antagonized the Detective Academy run by Morihiko Dan. The five youngsters make their way forward a step at a time as they come face to face with death, clash with one another at times, reconcile, and deepen their friendship. This is a pop mystery drama series about youth friendship and adventure in the face of united efforts against dark forces. --NTV


Another awesome drama that I most definitely fell in love with. Started it this morning, got hooked, and watched until now. Eleven hours of this show....and it totally thrilled me and I must say....ROCKED!!!!!

I love shows that keep you on your toes instead of groaning because the fool couldn't confess because he was a dipsh*t. I have to say the Korean's are good at those love triangles and quadrangles...that strangle me to death. This show had none of that. There was a kind of romance going on but it was innocent and not over the top. This show relied more on it's mystery and story which was refreshing.

Friendship....definitely well defined in this show. Don't we all wish we had friends as close as those 5. I do. Kyuu and Ryuu's relationship was something that we all go through but in the end if we believe and trust in any relationship (friendship or love), it all works out. The story was so involved in their oncoming friendship. The highs and lows and everything in between....the good will always overcome the bad.

Yamada Ryosuke

Without feeling like a perv, Ryu-kun is only 2 years older than my oldest son. So I'm not posting any naked upper body shots. That just makes me sick on my part. He's just toooooo young right now to be slobbering all over him. But! This kid when he gets older is going to be a gorgeous man. No doubt about it. And for obvious reason of the last pic......it's Ryu-kun with my KAME!!!! Now he's the man! LOL!

Casshern is based on a Japanese TV-series. In it, the viewer is transported into the future where they world has just seen a big war between an army from the East and an army from Europe. The East won, even though there are still rebellious factions that try to overthrow the government. The war has ravaged the world, and more than ever there is a need for peace and harmony. A scientist is conducting research into a new technology, that can rejuvante bodies and make mankind feel more alive again. The government is not interested in this technology, since they fear it could endanger their position, and the scientist is forced to work together with a sinister organization. As you can probably guess, something goes wrong and before you know it a group of all-powerful superhumans roam the planet, intent on destroying everything and everybody, so that they can rebuild the planet from the ground up.
Enter Casshern, the son of the scientist responsible for these problems. He had died during the war, but his body came back to life in the same way the superhumans did. He gets a special super-armor in order to fight the superhumans and battle commences, especially when he discovers that the superhumans are for some reason holding his mother hostage.


Hmm? I bought this and finally watched it. I have to say there are some fansubbers out there who would do a way better job than this professional junk. LOL!

This movie is for an appreciating taste. This movie left me with a headache. It was good......for some people. I couldn't really get into it. I really tried but about found myself going to sleep. My oldest son seemed to like it.....I think.

Lots of action. Very, very, very fast paced. I think that is what made my head spin. I couldn't seem to catch up. There was tooooooo much going on and the story didn't seem like it was being held together. Something wasn't right with this movie.

This was Frankenstein meets Star Wars meets Tron. The visual effects didn't help one bit. I think that was bit of a distraction too. It was dark and the color red was prominent. This was a Japanese movie....the effects should have been over par. They weren't. Where was George Lucas when they needed him?

There was definite eye candy. Tetsuji-san only had a bit part. Ugh! He was dead in about 30 minutes of the movie. Damn!

Debt-laden and feeling unneeded to the world, he sells off all his belongings and plans for his death date. However, on the 1st day, he meets Yashiro Heita as well as numerous other characters who will cause him to experience the most eventful 11 days of his life. -- Rikayla

This is a music video but it has highlights from the show..............


Okay, I hit the jackpot! This is a freaking top notch #1 drama of all time! I can't describe how I loved this drama. I watched the whole thing in one freakin' day. That is how good this drama was. It was released this year a few months ago so it's brand spankin' new! And yes, it has Ryu-san all over it. And girls......he smiles throughout the show. *sigh* I'm not much for the short haircut but who gives a rat's behind....it's MATSUDA Ryu-san! *sigh* His character is like an angel in devil's clothing..per se. Which in general is Ryu-san in a nutshell! *sigh*

This drama is another totally different drama than the norm....like Last Friends. There are no love triangles (*sighs* with relief). It's really about who you can trust. About how we determine friendships. But most of all, about how to live and to strive to live after everything we hold dear seems to die or leave us and we feel like life isn't worth living.

Man, oh man. I've had my Ryu-san fix as of late, haven't I? *sigh*

I'll add pictures of the other cute actors from this show. I'm running out of Ryu-san photos to load...........
