I ask this because I got really hooked to Fourze and then have sort of lost interest now that the "main characters" have all been identified and joined the Kamen Rider Club. Some of the best episodes in my opinion were the interactions and just waiting for them to join up and become "BEST FRIENDS!".
I ... haven't seen an episode in about a month |

He's still out there trying to be friends with everyone though!
While Fourze hasnt really hit it's stride yet it probably depends on what you like in a series. There are better and there are worse. For me personally Fouze is probably 6th on my list of favorites behind Double, Blade, Kabuto, OOO, and Faiz but once the series ends who knows where it'll rank. But someone else could come and tell you Kiva's eons better than Fourze. Edit: I helped so much I'm sure

You haven't missed a lot though, given this past week had a hiatus.
And the last couple episodes were pretty solid. Now that they've IDed everyone, we're getting some different stories and starting to find out more about the bad guys. Episode 15 had a revelation re: the Zodiarts/Horoscopes that blew my mind. Plus, now that Libra's in play, things are more interesting as he has different methods than Scorpion that are more than just the simple "give away Zodiart switches to every malcontent in the school and let them go berserk on their new power" strategy. Plus, we just got Meteor. Which could make things more interesting as we got a cold intro in that we know nothing about him other than he's Meteor. Admittedly I don't know how it's been done in other shows as the only other KR I've seen is Double, but Accel's introduction was far more involved. Meteor's intro is interesting as he just shows up out of nowhere and starts doing stuff. One thing I'm liking about Fourze though is the level of teamwork. Shun/Kengo are very much integral members of the combat support team, and everyone else has a well-carved out role to play on the team as well. Though honestly, Yuki's is the least defined other than her enthusiasm/awesome Hayabasa-kun song. Last edited by GeneralTekno; 01-05-2012 at 02:28 PM.. |

It pretty much is a matter of preference. Fourze is very light hearted compared to series like Kuuga or Agito, which were far more dramatic. But it has a heart to it that makes watching it very enjoyable, partially from just how well Gentaro is portrayed. Personally Agito is my favorite followed by Double, but Fourze is making a pretty good go at making my top 5.

I think it is.
All shows are slow going in the first part, where the writer are trying to find exactly where to take the latter half of the show. Just look at Blade, it had a damn rocky start, but has one of the most loved endgames. I have seen some good tings so far, the friends dynamic between gentaro and the KRC, the idea's behind the Horoscopes and how only some have the ability to exceed Last one (not unlike the Seed of Agito in a way). But Gentaros ham headedness can get annoying at times, and the fact we are running with a "Breakfast Club" dynamic for the main supporting cast. I think it has the chops, but it remains to be seen if it goes anywhere.

Fourze has exceeded my expectations and is a rather solid show. Kamen Rider Meteor though, fails to impress.

I totally enjoy the light-heartedness, and really like the idea of "high school" playing a role in it. I'm just curious if they will eventually arch the story into something bigger and badder and forgive the term "epic" than just episode after episode of fighting off the new Zodiart as the Dean/Principal whatever shakes his fist and/or laughs.

I'm most interested in the fact that Kengo seemed to recognize the belt/switch, unless I'm misreading the implied body language or something (which is possible). |

It really depends on your taste really. I've asked a couple of people I know what they think about Fourze and if they think its as good as other series. Sometimes they say yes, sometimes no, but thats usually because they have OOO still fresh in their mind.
In my opinion, yes. Its different, but that also helps it as it is doing an idea that quite honestly most of us would expect from Power Rangers in that its based in High School. I'm enjoying the villains and I can't wait to see who and how the other Horoscopes look like. Also, the OST for it is very good for my tastes. |
