I liked how Kouta slowly but steadily learned more how to use his arsenal in his debut fight, but if that subtle growth doesn't get shown off, Not to mention how not showing it off would just leave more questions for the audience

I think y'all are missing the point. She made the video as a sort of tribute to his memory and thanking Toei for said coincidence in their newest theme. She knows that Toei knew next-to-nothing about Justin But she wanted to let them know that in a sense they have done something that he always wanted to do.

As long as they present it in an interesting way, I'm fine with either. It was nice to see Eiji's progress as a rider and learn about the Greeed with him, but it was also intriguing to learn what made Shotaro a Rider and what inspired his way of fighting and thinking. Just to name some examples to explain what I mean.

As long as they explain it later I am fine with a rider already used to things. Bottom line, I like both.

I feel the same way. But in my eyes they have to have a genesis episode somewhere, that episode that explains why things are the way they are. It doesn't have to be the first episode. It could be the 5th, 6th, 10th, for all I care. Just have it in there somewhere.

I may just be thinking that due to their relative rarity though. Shrugs. Last edited by barnstenchfartface; 09-26-2016 at 08:32 PM.. |

Here's a great example of each style working well for different reasons: - Wizard creates an element of mystery around Haruto by having him already be a Rider, which sends the perfect message about the kind of character he is. The viewer does NOT just know everything about him from the start. Dude's got all sorts of traumatic (and not so traumatic) backstory he tries to keep buried as best he can that comes up throughout the show. He's hiding stuff, both from the characters and the audience. - Conversely, Gaim spends upwards of 18 minutes with Kouta to establish he's just an unremarkable yet good-hearted kid. The show is all about his journey and the audience is very much taking it with him, unlike with Haruto. It's important we take it from the start.

I like it when the Rider already has his powers by the start of the first episode. It adds this air of mystery for me, having to guess what lead to him getting his powers and eventually finding out what actually happened is great. It definitely feels like we have to work a little harder to know our main character and understand what drives him.

I don't think Blade really needed to do things the way it did, and I straight-up think it was a mistake for Kiva (even though that first transformation IS really cool) but it was perfect for Hibiki and Wizard. I already explained Wizard but with Hibiki it really puts the viewer in Asumu's shoes. Both him and the viewer are having the same questions. This mysterious dude shows up and transforms into a demon-looking thing to fight a monster. Who is he? How can he do that? Why does he do that? It really wouldn't make sense for it to be written any other way.
