I liked Agito.
I've been working my way through the Heisei era of Kamen Rider, from Kuuga, up to and including Decade (Currently on Den-O). I feel like although Kuuga was the "revival" of Kamen Rider as a regular TV show, Agito is the true spine of what Kamen Rider would be in the 2000s. Things it does are more what Rider would be in the 2000s in a way Kuuga wasn't. There are worse choices for a first show. |

I think that Ryuki probably had the strongest influence on what the Heisei shows became, but there's no denying that Agito had it's fair share of influence too.

I'd say Kuuga was probably the model and Agito became the template. The idea with Kuuga was that it would "destroy" what Kamen Rider was up to that point. There really has been no Kamen Rider series quite like it. Kuuga was a show that, most of the time, felt like it served no master above its story. Agito took a lot of Kuuga's strengths and improved upon them while making it a more balanced show overall.

Personally, I like the shows where the Riders are of all persuasions: hero, anti-hero, villain - better still when they kind of bounce back and forth. I don't mind monsters, but I prefer the Rider focus. Plus, BIG fan of the driver "science bullshit" aspect of Ryuki, Blade and Gaim. EX-Aid seems to be continuing that aspect, so I'm hyped. |

Oh man, some of those murders in Agito were pretty brutal huh?
Good to see you're still digging the show. If I remember right the stretch you're coming up on is actually where I felt the show really took off but I'm not sure. Not like it wasn't already great though.

its so good you guys. I just finished episode 30 and im so invested in this story now. theres still a few confusing things to me here and there. but goddamn if it isnt compelling as hell. im fully enthralled in all 3 of the main plots and now that they are finally starting to connect to eachother its going to be wild. my only real issue is i dont really know who the bad guy is supposed to be? or anything about him really, except that he gives evil monologues out of a hotel room.
