Agito is 47 episodes of the same damn questions repeated over an over, then the absolute rock-stupidest explanation ever that seriously sounds like they ran out of time and just picked the laziest, cheapest explanation ever. It's insulting. Also Soichi is the worst rider ever. He's a total blank slate and does not react in any way close to a normal human being to anything that happens to him or anyone else. He's a sociopath at best, but the show treats him like a hero. |

However not very well.

I would not go that far with the description of Shouichi, I like him but I will say he isn't the best overall rider, Shotaro is still the best overall rider in my opinion with Shinji being my personal favourite.

Up to episode 27 now, Aki's death was pretty sudden when I think about it. She gets a huge boost to her powers by the real Shoichi and then dies not 3 episodes later. I find it tragically ironic that what prompted her spree was thinking that Ryo had died, only for her actual death to occur fueling his own feeling and creating a grudge between him and Agito.
I'm curious about how she really felt about Ryo though. She wanted to use him just like she wanted to use Shoichi but the attack on him seemed to trigger some genuine emotion out of her. I don't think it was love but maybe something close to kinship since she seemed to feel sympathy for his situation. I love that Shoichi is constantly just rubbing salt into Hikawa's wounds every time they talk about the G3-X suit. Speaking of which, the V1/G3-X plotline was pretty underused IMHO. I was halfway expecting V1 to be the equivalent of Birth from OOO's and just show up to steal the spotlight but Hikawa's rampage killed that. More development for Ozawa. She's being shown as the type of person who can excel far too high for a particular task but rather than tailoring her work for the user, she makes something that is too unwieldy. It's also interesting that her initial response to realizing this is to ask her old professor to continue work on his project rather than fixing her own. And big reveal Shoichi got his memories back. |

Eh, I don't know. Faiz is probably the only Rider series I've seen end on a massive cliffhanger with the big bads of the series still alive.

The thing I hate about Shouichi (more accurately Agito as a rider) is that there's no blurred lines between the two persona. At no point does Agito's personality show through in Shouichi, and vise versa for Agito. Some people would argue "that's the point" but it really isn't a good one. It just makes both sides of the character lack credibility. |

Was watching the Todoroki intro episodes the other day. God I miss my rocking Onis.

Are you watching the Tv Nihon subs? I'm going to be starting up Ryuki after I finish Agito and I wanted to know if any other groups had tackled the subs.
