Well I've done two episodes of Agito. It does have some mystery I guess so far, but if I continue watching there will be more mystery right?

The whole show is pretty much a mystery drama with toku elements.

I'm interested that you separate action and effects into two different categories and hate one and love the other. For me, as much as I loved how violent Blade was with the lightest of touch setting off about a thousand squibs at once for a massive, visceral explosion the Sega CD level of effects work on the special moves ruined every action sequence for me. Especially as they focused more and more on chaining powers together with some of the most pathetic final results I've ever seen. I just thought it was a waste of a great and well utilised gimmick and no action sequence could outlive how shit it all looked.

Black Episode 19: Birugenia is such a cruel villain, I already proved I can beat Kamen Rider Black so I am going to think of another intelligent plan to weaken him again and kick his ass. Which almost worked if not for some of Kotaro's luck working for him. I love that Kotaro couldn't skate that was hilarious too. Anyways that was a brilliant use of both Battle Hopper and Road Sector; Birugenia fights with a Sword and Shield, I'll counter with two Motorcycles. Still Birugenia is totally stronger than Kotaro right now, he needs to step it up so he can defeat him. Though not too soon I am loving Birugenia right now. Also glad to see that Kotaro, Kyoko, and the other girl are learning more about Nobuhiko. I can't wait for more.

I'm glad you enjoyed it, that was one of my favorite shows. The four main Riders were definitely amazing. Blade definitely has some of the best designs.

So I watched Missing Ace. It was...worst then the show in all honesty. I know it's only an hour long movie and won't be as good, but this was a let down to me. It's plot starts off promising with them having to reseal all of the cards and a new Joker with a bit of a rider war thrown in. But then it has this stuff about Joker basically body swapping and how Amane has to be killed because her father did some seal and this apparently makes her the only one to be sacrificed. What the actual fuck? You were doing just fine with the "Reseal everything with some rider fighting" plot, you don't need this sacrificial crap. Plus if the four king cards were needed to make the sacrificial card, how the hell did Kenzaki get it back to turn into King Form? And how come some of the Category Kings can't talk in human like they could in the show? The story is a mess by the halfway point and is brought down by an actual plothole. The only thing positive I can say about the plot is that it is paced rather nicely, but not even that saves it from how shit it is.
The action was once again good and like the show is the only truly good/great thing about the film. The effects are slightly improved but they still aren't great looking, and that CGI isn't fooling anybody. The music was good again and the acting wasn't terrible and the suits were pretty cool looking, except for the new green rider, his was terrible. So yeah, Missing Ace was an utter disappointment for me. Once again I know these movies aren't going to be as good as the show, but we have examples that they can be as good and even better such as Paradise Lost. This film however just stunk. The story gets stupid by the end and the ending itself concludes because of one big plothole, and it neglects some of the aspects of the show. Only the action makes it enjoyable (that and seeing pimp Kotarou) with everything else just being pretty bad. I'd rewatch the show but this is something I don't think I ever want to see again. Critically I give it a 2. On a personal enjoyment level, I'll give it 2, the extra half being for having one of my favorite suits in it. And now I am finally completely 100% done with Blade. The verdict stands, not a bad ride with the show, the movie sucks, I appreciate the characters behind the suits I like, but the feeling after finishing everything is meh for the show and blehh for the movie.

The Category Kings couldn't talk because they didn't have established personalities in the show when they were writing the movie.
Its the same reason why Delta never appeared in the Faiz movie. |

Finished Kamen Rider Black.
Overall it was a really cool show and I enjoyed myself watching it. There were some episodes I really didnt care for and some that were absolutely bad ass. If I had one gripe with the show it would be Shadow Moon. For all the build up he got during the show he didnt really do all that much. He just stood around most of the time talking about how he will fight Black but never actually doing it Anyway I liked the show but its definitely not in my all time favorites. |

When it comes to Missing Ace, the one aspect I thought it did very well was that it shows what happens to the Riders after the battle is over. A lot of them just can't adjust to normal lives after what they've been through. I mean, you fight monsters day in, day out for who knows how long and then you have to deal with an ordinary life. I kind of wish that aspect had played more of a central role in the thing.
