Kamen Rider My-Th 02
Kamen Rider My-Th 02 won me over in ways the premiere didn't. The mysteries are taking shape, Sora's remarkable abilities are getting some explanation, and the relationships between him, Yuna, Asao, and the Zodiac Alliance are becoming much more interesting. Datt brings some welcome personality to the action, and the Ride Eggs are already showing their tactical potential. There's still a lot I don't understand, but now I'm having fun discovering it.Dive Deeper - https://mjmunoz.com/2026/09/17/kamen-rider-my-th-02/

Kamen Rider My-Th 01
Kamen Rider My-Th 01 has ideas I genuinely like, from the tactical use of My-Th’s mouse abilities to Sora and Yuna’s dynamic, but the premiere feels bulky, effects-heavy, and visually underwhelming. The ideas are there. Some of the execution is off, and unfortunately, My-Th 01 was a miss for me.Dive Deeper - https://mjmunoz.com/2026/09/08/kamen-rider-my-th-01/

Kamen Rider Zeztz 50
Kamen Rider Zeztz 50 gives Baku, Nem, and the others a surprisingly happy ending while arguing that dreams can overcome nightmares without pretending those nightmares will ever disappear completely. I love the finale's cycle of hope, Baku finally coming home, and the future it gives these characters, even as ZEZTZ's new role protecting humanity leaves me with some frustrating questions about how Nightmares actually work. The worldbuilding may be soft, but emotionally, this ending works for me.Dive Deeper with my Inspector's Notes - https://mjmunoz.com/2026/09/02/kamen-rider-zeztz-50/

Kamen Rider Zeztz 49
Kamen Rider Zeztz 49 brings Nem back, brings Oblivion back with her, and moves several other major pieces into place for the finale. I liked the episode, but more than anything, it left me ready to see Zeztz come to a close so we can finally understand exactly what this story has been trying to say.Dive Deeper with my Inspector's Notes - https://mjmunoz.com/2026/09/01/kamen-rider-zeztz-49/

Kamen Rider Zeztz 48
Kamen Rider Zeztz 48 actually went there with Nem, and I have very conflicting feelings about it. Her choice saves the world, fits the “Nightmare Messiah” idea I've been seeing in her story, and feels genuinely heroic, but the way her sacrifice is framed also makes me deeply uncomfortable. Is there a meaningful difference between sacrificing yourself to save others and erasing yourself because you believe your existence is the problem?Dive Deeper with my Inspector's Notes - https://mjmunoz.com/2026/08/31/kamen-rider-zeztz-48/

Kamen Rider Zeztz 47
Kamen Rider Zeztz 47 made me reconsider what I thought the series was doing. What looked like a stalled final arc now feels more like an unusually structured continuation of the Nem illusion storyline, with the world, the cast, and their relationships still being rebuilt around us. I still have questions about whether this approach works week to week, but I can finally see where Zeztz may be going.Dive Deeper with my Inspector's Notes - https://mjmunoz.com/2026/08/28/kamen-rider-zeztz-47/

Omegahorn 02
Omegahorn Episode 2 reveals just how flexible its core mechanics really are. By breaking down the traditional barriers between human, monster, and giant-scale battles, the series gives itself far more storytelling freedom than I expected, while also laying the groundwork for a very smart toy line.Dive Deeper with my Inspector's Notes - https://mjmunoz.com/2026/08/05/omegahorn-02/

Kamen Rider Zeztz 46
Episode 46 introduces some fascinating ideas, from Nox Midnight Shadow's ability to break through illusions to the growing partnership between Baku and his allies. But do those strengths justify an episode that spends so much time revisiting familiar ground? I break down where Zeztz's slower pacing works, where it doesn't, and whether the series is building toward something meaningful or simply stretching out the journey.Dive Deeper with my Inspector's Notes -
