Just starting off into the Kamen Rider franchise with Kamen Rider W, 8 eps into it so far, not used to the dynamic of it since I'm so used to Super Sentai, but I love it thus far. The whole detective stuff is old school but it works, looking forward to seeing what more the series can bring. If anyone has any suggestions on which series to watch after please share them! Thanks!

Agito 35.5 Special: I should watched this sooner but I save the specials till the end. Good extended episode and kind of connected with the movie. Great to see G3 Mild and Shining Form's first appearance both were really cool. Great to see more back story of Shouichi too. Also Ryou got one of my favorite moments of Punching out Hojo.
Alright time to watch the Hyper battle video. UPDATE: Watched the Hyper Battle Video and that was so freaking hilarious and funny. Showed a quick update of the series like all of them do. I always love leaving them for the end. Agito you are a wonderful series, now it is time to pick my next series.

Up to Ryuki 33. I just don't get the inclusion of Megumi. She doesn't fit the tone of the show at all, at least to me. It's like she was completely dropped in from another series. I'm enjoying the series, but the main story points seem to be developing at a glacial pace.

I skipped ahead in Kiva, figuring I'd give it one last shot before dropping it outright. Skipped to Emporer's first appearance.
Yup, I'm done with this show. I always hated Kivat, he has no likable personality, and is just annoying. So now there's another horrid CGI critter, "Tetsulot" I think, and he heralds the final form. God damn is he annoying. Kiva is this dark, threatening, vicious warrior, and the little dragon guy has a high pitched voice that just screams on like a demented person. Japan has a bad habit of having it's henshin gimmickery have horrible voices, but Kamen Rider has typically remained safe. Not Kiva. Emporer form itself is just... ugly. I'm really sorry, but this thing was dead on arrival. It's just so overdone. If this was, like, a seperate character who didn't fight often, that'd be one thing. But it's just such an eyesore with the all gold and red compared to regular Kiva who is awesome. It's like, well, it's like they took an amazing regal design and ruined it by trying to make it "epic." It's such a shame. If this was, like, Kiva's father or something, or a Kiva from way farther in the past, I'd dig it. But it is just the worst aspects of "final forms." |

I've noticed with myself - if I hate a form when first introduced I'll grow to love it and if I love a form when first introduced I grow to hate it. I'm a bugger, I can't help it.

The shade doesn't really factor. It the fact that it's all gold. It's like if the Tower of Pimps was a vampire lord. |

Yeah, if you hate seeing Emporer Kiva on screen you probably should stop watching, IIRC they basically stop using Kiva's base form after Emporer is introduced because it was so much easier for the suit actor to move around in.
Dark Kiva is infinitely more badass anyways. So, finally gonna start watching a bit more Faiz tonight. I'll catch up, I swear it! Also, pointing out the obvious, but I love the use of the greek letter "phi" in the show. Especially because, as a Magic player, I mostly associate it with the phyrexians, who are one of my all time favorite villains.

Faiz 13.
Faiz may be the slowest, most filler rammed show I have ever watched. Pretty much every episode ends with a fight, and then concludes it at the beginning of the next one. And that would be fine if they used all that time not fighting for...anything but the majority of this episode focused on Takumi getting lost on the campus and Juuzo taking hell bitch on a date. I learnt pretty much fucking nothing from this episode, other than Takumi is terrible at sports. We had basically eighteen minutes of introduction to a single reveal, and one that had no context anyway. What a pointless pile of shit. It's frustrating as well, because as with EVERY episode of Faiz, in the last four or some minutes it got really interesting. Introducing Masato out of suit and giving him an easily identifiable style of fighting, and way of moving, really added believability to his transformation. He's a real badass. But how long can I keep watching because of four good minutes at the end?
