Started on a couple episodes of Dragon Knight myself. I get what some people have said about it. It's not bad it's just... kind of boring.
Somehow the music choices and editing along with the hit-or-miss acting makes the whole thing already feel so much less engaging than Ryuki on some level. Like even during action sequences, the alterations to the audio and soundtrack just make the scenes less exciting to watch. Also, Maya's friend is just obnoxious to me. Kind of a slightly annoying snooze-fest so far, but I guess I'm still interested enough to watch more later. |

You know it's bad when Ryotaro Nogami is more of a man than you are.

But as the series progresses, those thoughts dim. He stops seeing Kiva as a means to an end, as a wicked shadow or internal adversary, and starts realizing that he and Kiva are one in the same. At the end he stares down Fangire in his human form, driving them away with his mere presence, something he could never have done from the start. He bridges the gap, reconsiles man and Fangire, and puts an end to the hunting. Sure the NeoFangire happens but we don't know why and it could easily be assumed as being "Fangire splinter cell that disagrees with the King's new decree." Quote:
More like the part where he went "A Fangire just killed an an entire resturant full of people and I'm depressed literally only because it meant I was a bad judge of character, and not because a ton of amazingly nice, charitable people met gruesome and untimely ends. What were their names again? I dunno, I literally do not care about anyone."
He's a fucking dick. Quote:
He looks and acts like a baby. He's a joke of a character, and an even bigger joke of a "hero."
So it's okay when Ryotaro does it but not when Wataru does it? Last edited by GoseiWonder; 09-06-2015 at 10:01 PM.. |

How does anything you just said apply to my criticism? He knew Dai was a Fangire when he killed that entire resturant of people. My point is who in their right fucking mind would see that scene and think "oh woe is me?" How about oh woe is all those fuckin' dead people? Pre-W Hesei riders have a nasty tendancy to not give a shit about people's lives, and just generally not be heroic at all. It's all about beating the monster, not because it'll save poeple, but because that's what a Kamen Rider does. They're too often completely disconnected from the lives of anyone but their own, like the writers think it's "uncool" or "too kiddy" to have heroes place civilian lives as top priority.

Couldn't he feel that way BECAUSE all these people are dead and his trusting a Fangire is why?
"No! All these people, their lives lost because I didn't kill Dai. Dead because I thought I could pacify a Fangire, I'm such an idiot! Well no more, Fangire. I will end you for this." Besides he cared about how Rhino went about his feedings, luring talented young people out by promising to fulfill their dreams and then eating them. Waturu heard that and said that Rhino was unforgivable for what he did and then smashes him with a giant purple lightning fist. |

He could've, but he didn't. The show plain as day does not mention them at all, focusing only on his inability to judge people properly. He never once mentions them again, or shows remourse. You can't just assume something happened when it very clearly did not happen.

they could have done it like 555 where they show it so much that we just get sick of it.
"we get it, being turned to ash is bad, just stop reminding us"
