New to Kamen Rider - Watching Agito Blind
So, I have always had sort of an interest in checking out KR in the past. I decided to finally act on it and watch Agito. As someone who grew up watching Power Rangers Wild Force I sort of knew what to expect from this type of show. What I didn't expect was to enjoy it as much as I did, so much so that I made an account here to rave about how good the first 7 episodes were. I finished episode 7 today and I just have to say this show is really ballsy. Even if its for kids the fact that they dont gloss over murder or other darker themes is really really cool to me. I also just love all the main characters. Especially the cop guy (can't really remember his name at this point lol)
Hope you don't mind me literally making my first post to rave about something I've barely started! |
I liked it for its Twin Peaks-esque tone and that the three main riders are very unique from each other. Hope this leads to you liking other toku.

Happy to hear it! I've always thought Agito would make a pretty good first Kamen Rider show, and it tends to get a lot of praise in general, so you made a pretty darn good choice. It's a show with great characters, an interesting plot, and some good action, so you really can't go wrong with it. If you thought just those first 7 episodes were good, you're in for a real treat.

Agito isn't a bad place to start. It was the first Rider show I really got to watch past a couple of episodes. I really liked how the show set up a lot of mysteries and slowly developed them over the course of the series.

First of all, welcome to the forums and kamen rider! Personally, Hikawa/G3 is my favorite character from agito. Glad you're enjoying it, and hopefully you'll enioy the other shows as well.

I think part of the hype I've seen it get has to do with being the last Heisei show to get proper fansubs, which built up this sort of mysticism around it. There were the old Cruel Angel (is that right?) subs that some people used for a while but they weren't readily available? I can't give the full story here since I didn't watch Agito until just a couple years ago, after it stopped being an issue. Maybe ask someone else. That's part of the delight of being a Toku fan lately, though. We're even getting official Super Sentai DVD's and simulcast Ultraman now, it's nuts. Quote:

Welcome! I'm glad you're enjoying Agito! I loved it myself (much, much more than Kuuga) and I hope you continue to be entertained by it. As most everyone seems to be mentioning their favorites, I'll toss my $.02 in in favor of Sumiko. Her beer drinking is the stuff of legend! :)
