PS Spell check is 2 words. Errors happen. There's no need to nitpick it all the time.

Relevance? I'm not subbing a series. I'm not even watching Kuuga. I'm just pointing out that being free isn't an excuse.

I think it's worth pointing out that MCS was working on revised versions of the Kuuga scripts. They just got backburnered like pretty much everything else they're working on (besides Stronger, which is almost totally farmed out these days).

I watched Kuuga episodes 9-24 today. This series is really shaping up nice, but I'm starting to get a little bored with the Grongi's "How many can you kill without doing this" game. The story is well done and there have been some great moments of tension. Oh, and I also think their numbers are off. Like, they have fighting Number 31, but the next episode it is Number 36. Uh... what? How did they even get to the 30s already when I am in the early 20s?

As for the subs, they have definitely improved. However, there have been two episodes that have some really whacky formatting as if the screen is shrunk (12 and I think 21) and the subs suddenly got smaller. But like I said, they have improved a lot since the early episodes so I give them props there. I just wished they had the graphics that Nihon uses, but that is not important, it just adds to the mood.

Oh, there was one thing I did absolutely hate. A freaking clip show. A CLIP SHOW, 17 EPISODES IN!!! What the hell?! It was pointless and did not need to be there.

Yeah, they skip a few of the Grongi numbers. I assume the idea is to let the audience know that Yusuke is still fighting between episodes.

I am only at episode 10 of Kuuga...do we ever understand what the hell the Grongi are saying?

They sometimes spoke Japanese and there were Japanese subs of what they said on a kuuga dvd I think. That's about it.

Well, we just finished the final episode of OOO (or I guess episodes since we watched the Director's Cut version (what's missing from the non-DC?)) and overall, it was a pretty good series. It had some great fight scenes, some really good ideas, but compared to W, it was a let down. Most of the characters really did not seem to change throughout the series except Ankh and Gotou, and they really kept Hino's relationship with Hina to a bare minimum. After the advancements we saw between Accel and Akiko, I was really hoping they would start developing these things to their fullest extents, but, they decided to just play it safe again.

I also felt that Maki becoming the main villian of the show really took away from Uva, who went out on a whimper. He was the one villian that kept growing as a character and felt like the main villian of the show, only to have the spotlight taken from him on a very lackluster playing field. I just feel the writers did not really know what they wanted to do with his character after the first half of the series, but needed him to stay in existence until the end. Instead of a grand battle like we got with Mezuru and Kazari, he just gets transformed into a Final Fantasy boss and that is it, nothing more, nothing less. ON the other hand, the ending itself was satisfying and a good ending to the series. I am glad Ankh did not get resurrected through some random means just to be a crowd pleaser (despite him being there as a spirit) like they did with the ending of W. Lastly, Satonaka is freaking awesome as hell. The first time she appears in battle to help Gotou was kinda cool (loved her outfit there), but then when she just comes out of nowhere on the escalator was down right badass. Overall, I definitely enjoyed the series, but I felt they played things safe because of all of the different risks W took throughout its run, making it a weaker series than W.

With that said, on Sunday we watch the movies and then start Fourze.

I started Ryuki recently. I've been putting this off for sometime now. Partly because I liked Dragon Knight and deep down I'd start comparing them by accident. Partly because I saw the first episode last fall and didn't really like what I saw. Why am I watching it? It came after Agito and I figure just go in air date order for now.

I'm on episode 8 now and I know what my problem is...in one word: Shinji. What a moron. While he is not the only stupid Rider out there, Shinji is different in that 1) he's not funny and 2) I cannot believe he's still alive.

Anyways, Knight and Zolda are okay, need to see more before judging them. Scissors is a waste of a character just like in DK. No surprise. I'm going to try and last until all the major Riders appear in hopes that the abundance of Riders will compensate for my hate of the title character (it worked for Naruto).

PS For the record, the fighting is still cool and this show still has some of the best Rider designs.

[MomoPink]

I've been watching Kabuto and Agito, just finished the Dark Kitchen Arc in the former. I like them both, hard to say which one I like better right now.
