You know the most frustrating thing about the Fourze movie? It actually serves as a fantastic expansion of the series.
Ryusei gets the growth he needs that he never got in the show, it returns Gen back to when he was actually a good character, it gives the Kamen Rider Club a purpose like it never had in the series, gives great moments to largely forgotten characters and...none of this has any impact on the show at all, I don't even know if it counts as canon with the way none of it is ever mentioned or has any impact on the show and that is just a damn shame as it makes better use of the characters than anything featured in the second half of the series. I'd honestly say I think people should just watch Fourze until Meteor is introduced, then just watch the movie and you'd actually probably have a better experience. So I watched the Fourze movie and loved it, felt the same as an expansion to more. Sadly I got 4 episodes into Fourze and I love the character of Fourze but most, not all, of the supporting cast as well as the school aspect I just hate. |

I actually think they made good use of the setting, it never felt just like a novelty, which is why it's so disappointing that it's basically dropped half way through the series to make way for some awfully paced space opera.

I don't mind them using a school, I just feel it is too much American teen drama crap. Maybe I'll enjoy the space opera part of Fourze, but it has left a bad taste in my mouth so I am going to go try others.

I suppose it's more American to be in a high school dealing with students but it's a setting I appreciate that I think the show does well with. It does much better with that than any of the sci-fi stuff that is rushed to the point of meaninglessness in the second half of the series. I personally thought the first twenty or so high school drama episodes were near flawless and some of the best Kamen Rider stuff I've seen.

I felt bad for the bad guys, or well, in the first 4 episodes, the students who were not shining as much as other students. I felt the good guy helped out the bully but never really helped the students who needed the help that went down the "bad" path, at least not on screen.

All of the Blade TVN episodes I get of KRDL come down at some insanely funky aspect ratio for some reason, you can override it but it's a pain in the ass. Either way episode five was okay, it was establishing more plot than really exploring it but lots of glorious fighting between the Riders themselves made up for it.

I don't wanna complain about stuff for free, but what is the point if you release releases with horrid video quality, fucked aspect ratios and typos?

The typos aren't excusable, though.
