“We just call you transformer …”
Every time I hear that line from Galaxy Force’s opening theme, a little part of me dies.
Painfully.

Mishicorp has a torrent for Kamen Rider Hibiki’s first episode. (It’s unsubbed, though.)
I had trouble imagining how the creators would integrate the musical motif into the series but whatever doubts I had were dispelled after seeing the wonderfully creative first episode. The musical sequence immediately after the opening credits was one of the highlights of the episode and it had me laughing in delight and shaking my head at the audacity not to mention the eccentricity.
Eccentric seems to be the word to describe the supporting cast as well and I’m anticipating some entertaining hijinks as the series develops.
I don’t know if the series can sustain this level of quality — recent Kamen Rider series have meandered badly between episodes 20 to 40 — but I’m quite optimistic.
Episode 2 can’t come soon enough for me.
