I fell a bit behind on this, but I burned through the last four episodes between tonight/this afternoon. The show is... definitely a thing that happened.
I'll give it props that the show tossed a few curveballs at me that I didn't expect (didn't expect Hoshiai dying at the halfway mark; wasn't entirely sure how the Amou/Kuon fight would play out; and holy crap, Azami was played by the original AkibaBlue - how did I miss that?). I was usually interested to see what happened next, too. That said, I can't really say I liked the show all that much. I didn't
dislike
it, but I didn't like it. It is very much a show that I watched.

The Saejima Saga/Universe is very nicely wrapped up/has a fair deal of closure thanks to Moonbow Traveler, to where it'd feel weird if we went back there. On the opposite end, the Ryuga-verse feels like they're really running out of stuff to really expand on. To the point where Jinga itself feels so, so very disconnected from the Ryuga-verse when it takes place.
So I'd really love it if they decided to continue on in the Versus Road universe because this conclusion definitely feels like they left it open enough for at least one sequel.
I partially agree with you. I definitely feel like I wouldn't complain if the Saejima era is over, outside of the occasional Zero miniseries, maybe. I think we could do more Ryuga/Rian stuff, though; it's not like there's much of an ongoing story there beyond the "will you two just screw already" part. My only concern with Ryuga, though, is that I fear we'd get maybe three episodes in and then Masahiro Inoue would show up, getting Jinga with it. Someone involved in the shows - a writer, a director, maybe a producer, I'm not sure - is just obsessed with that guy, but I am completely done with him at this point.
Versus Road, though? Meh. I really didn't care about any of the characters - I barely learned any of their names over the course of twelve episodes. Going for the battle royale theme was definitely a new approach, but it leaves this version feeling really scant on mythology. I also really hate the "cyber" look of the Garo armor.
So yeah, I'd be down for a new continuity; I just don't want it to be this one.
