Discovering the Sun note, Kamen Rider Den-O ep 1 impressions

First of all, "Discovering the Sun" Chapter 6, part 7 should show up on [livejournal.com profile] estinano shortly. Since that was the end of Chapter 6, I also put all of the second half of Chapter Six up at Inkwell. It's here if you want to read it. Chapter 7 (Mandibles) part 1 should be up sometime tonight on [livejournal.com profile] estinano. (Yep, we're hitting circa episodes 21-22 now!)

And some thoughts on the Den-O raw....

Okay, I had to resort to summaries to figure the darn episode out, I'm really looking forward to subs on this one.

I don't know what to make of this series, but from what I can tell, at least it will be interesting. The hero himself is pretty clueless, merely a host, really. At least in the first episode, he has no idea what's going on. I can say I'd also be WTF if I walked through a door into a building and landed in a desert, where a woman in a train handed me coffee.

That being said, he is a very cute clueless guy, mostly because he is clueless. He bikes right through the being trying to, I presume, introduce himself and make an offer, just because he's late. And he makes the most reluctant, confused rider since Mihara, I swear. I mean, the guy faints and really doesn't jump in and fight. He doesn't want to be dragged into this world, and I don't blame him.
