Yep, and I'll be talking about Episode 2 in Super Sentai version of this thread soon enough.
As for Kamen Rider W? I really like it so far! ^^ It opened up with the debut of Cyclone Joker in the first few minutes, which reminds me of Shinkenger having Takeru show up as Shinken Red in the first minute or so. (It makes sense, considering that Shinkenger was airing at the same time as W.) The early debut of Shinken Red and Cyclone Joker is a good thing, considering that both of them managed to get my favor pretty quickly with their badass first minute debut. That's why my first Figuarts purchase was Shinken Red. The Detective theme for this show works out nicely and manages to keep me interested, and I really liked the idea of two minds joining together to become this new Kamen Rider. I look forward to more episodes of this show. Glad to hear you're enjoying it. I do think that there was a notorious drop of quality after 32 basically I would like an arc and then drag to the next one, maybe it didn't help that I never liked the Zodiarts as enemies. But overall it was a nice journey, WACHAAA! |

I guess I'll forge my own opinions soon enough. But I DO look forward to more Fourze.

I consider Fourze mediocre all throughout.
However, it was enjoyable, and that's what was important.

Oh man. I forgot tht episode. That was a good one. It also established the way Ryuusei cared about his friends.

Ryuusei is awesome, that's all that need to be said.
Honestly Meteor is more important to the plot than Gentaro. :P |

I'm with Locke on this one. Once Ryusei entered the picture the show stagnated hardcore for about 15-20 episodes. And when it finally got going again it had to rush everything to fit it all into the last six episodes.

Realistically, the first ten episodes are world building and character establishing. If you've seen them and remember the characters at all, you're good to pick up where you left off. Plus, you're really close to the Movie War (Thanks KRX for reminding me where it takes place) and that's when the show hits it's stride. The movie is where the building plot points pay off and first delve into the backstory takes place, and introduces (or reintroduces) probably the most influencial character of the show.
Really, come to think of it, W has probably had the best treatment in movies for most Kamen Rider series. The Movie war 2010 portion is really good backstory and awesome stuff I won't mention because spoilers, Forever A-to-Z was amazing and the W half of War Core deserved it's own full length movie it was so good. (shame the OOO portion suuuuuucked. Seeing the two Riders team up was pretty awesome, though) Even Accel Returns is pretty good. Only Eternal's totally pointless movie stands out as teh odd one of the bunch. |

Finished off Agito! That was fun. Gotta say, the folks who told me that not very little would make sense in the end might be a little exaggerated, ooor maybe I'm used to old Heisei shows not making total sense.
In any case, I didn't find myself asking any questions by the end, it kinda all fell into place for me. I'm also used to heroes now delivering the final attack, only to get a jarring timeskip right as the attack hits. But hey things worked out for the better for Shouichi, and that makes me VERY happy. As a whole, Agito has been more fun than I expected. Good use of characters, I like the way miscommunication is handled, the only major complaint I had is things were VERY confusing in the single-digit episodes, but at some point they really buckled down to solve the overarching mystery of "Why?" - It really felt like a LOT happened, even for a year long series, and I'm kinda sad I finished it already cause I love the cast. With that show complete, I can officially say I've seen all of the modern Rider shows, until Gaim starts. I don't think I'll be checking out much of the older shows since most of it doesn't really grab me and I'd prefer to have it all subbed in full first, but if I do I'll probably end up going for Black. It seems to be the go-to show for a lot of people. |

Agito would've been ten time better with ten less episodes and less melodrama and pretentiousness.
I mean, really. God? You're going to make a God alegory in your silly spandex hero show? Gimme a break. |

Watched Kuuga 17, enjoyed a recap episode because it's been a while since I saw the beginning and helped me a lot. Also I love seeing Kuuga fight so that's cool too.
Watched Faiz 18 and 19. I felt bad for Mr. J but glad that his dog Chaco, ended with someone to look after him. (Yes I care about animals in the show lol.) Also liked the Faiz vs Kiba fight too. I like the different factions and that Takumi and Kiba are starting to become friends. Also love the fact of Faiz taking down two Orphenochs again. Now to watch more of Kuuga tonight.
