Kabuto 15-16
These "but who's the Worm???????" plots are so incredibly, flabbergastingly fucking stupid. They always have been. They are. And they will continue to be. Because, they have shown on multiple occasions that Zect has a special device that lets them see who is and isn't a Worm, instantly. Which means plots like this one, the one about Kagami's brother, that one with the lady in jail, or figuring out the traitor in Shadow...they're all stupid and unnecessary. I'm really just repeating myself at this point, but Kabuto. It's so dumb, and not in a good way. Last edited by barnstenchfartface; 09-19-2017 at 03:43 PM.. |

Kabuto's head writer is the guy that does all of the Super Hero Taisen movies. He's never met a plot that he didn't like to run into the ground through repetition.

Kabuto's such an odd show because it feels like they're just going "Fuck it, why not?" half the time.

To be fair, one could see it as Kagami's denial over his brother's death

I thought the Zect Worm detector thingy only worked on unmolted Worms? Not that the show ever bothers to EXPLAIN that, but as far as I can remember it only ever works on unmolted Worms, not to mention that their detection device seems to rely on heat sensing and one of the trademark signs that a Worm is going to molt is a boost in body temperature.

I think what really ruined my enjoyment of Kiva was my seething loathing of pretty much every single character. Like, I'm not a fan of Den-O, but it has Deneb (and by extension Yuuto) in it, which made me glad I watched it in the end. I had no such character to latch onto in Kiva, with my favorites simply being the characters who didn't actively tick me off, which just resulted in the experience being extremely bad.

Okay so I just finished Kiva 29 and the problems are becoming slightly more apparent. I think the biggest thing for me is the fact that it goes in and out of plot points so quickly. Otoya gets amnesia and Maya pretends to be Yuri. This lasts for one episode and nothing has come out of it. I have a feeling that it will set the stage for Wataru's heritage though. Jiro tried to kill Otoya and Yuri, but a couple of episodes later, he's teaming up with Otoya to fight Rook. Also Ixa hasn't fought or really even mentioned Kiva at all since the episode where Otoya took over Wataru's body. Also, to a lesser extent...Nago gets Ixa confiscated before he travels back in time, but then when he returns to the present, he has it again? If his actions really did change the future, then why do Kengo and Wataru still have the weapons to fight the fangire with?
At the end of the day, no Kamen Rider series is perfect. Even highly rated ones, like Ex-Aid, have their issues. But I'm okay with that, because at the end of the day...it's a kid's show. I don't take it too seriously, and it makes everything a whole lot more enjoyable to me. At this point in the series, the good in Kiva far outweighs the bad. Oh, also....Emperor form is not nearly as overused as I expected. Maybe it'll become more apparent later on, but I actually hope for that - just cut straight to the chase. I'm tired of seeing normal Kiva get beaten up before Emperor shows up.

Speaking of 20 episodes in... Exactly what Kabuto needed, another obtuse son of a bitch. |

SkyRider Episode 20: Man, I had a huge Ridergasm moment when Stronger came out and said his iconic entrance. I am extremely giddy from that moment. Admiral Demon definitely is smarter than General Monster, sending out two monsters was a great idea. Loved Hiroshi's spirit here on feeling that he had to win no matter what because he knows what trouble they would cause. Though it was weird seeing his Sky Kick be ineffective here. Well, I can't wait for Kamen Rider Team-Up next episode. SkyRider/Stronger is going to be awesome. =)
