Yeah I don't understand the hype machine around Kuuga at all. I guess because it's GRITTY they don't feel so embarrassed about watching it or some shit.

Because Kuuga is one of the series I've seen literally nothing of, I can't really comment on the hype or tone.
But seeing as how hype has both been proven right (Blade) and wrong (Den-O), I don't know what to expect with Kuuga or Hibiki.

Watched 3 or 4 more episodes of blade today, so I've just finished 43. I really do like the series but I just can't bring myself to watch much more than that a day. That and I'm trying to catch up with other things...
Anyway, Mutsuki's arc is done now I guess, that was wrapped up quite nicely. Not much more to go and it's nice that everyone is working toget... Oh wait.. Well they will be soon, maybe... |

If you liked Agito, you'll probably like Kuuga. They're pretty similar in tone and style. If you didn't like Agito, then you're probably a terrible person.

I've only ever seen the first episode of Agito, and it was unsubbed, so I don't know much about it.

People say that to me so much, it's lost all meaning to me.

LOL at people saying Kuuga is the greatest. Every other heisei series I have seen is better then Kuuga. Wizard OOO, Ryuki, Kabuto, first half of Double(since I haven't seen the second half and can't find it) are all way better.

I just rewatched W A-to-Z for fun, and forgot how awesome that movie was. It's a shame it takes place so late in the show's continuity and spoils a lot, as I think it's better than the W half of the Decade crossover. (which I still like, BTW. It has really strong character bits and introduces Skull afterall) I forgot how great the action overall is. It's rare to see such extensive wire work in Kamen Rider that doesn't look so obviously wirework. (though some of the bike chase bits looked a bit obvious) But the regular hand-to-hand stuff is wicked, and visceral. Hell, anytime Joker was on screen was friggin' perfect in terms of action and choreography.
If I had to pick anything I didn't like, it' be the villains. Well, half the villains. Eternal is no better than I remember as a character, and his suit still stinks to high hell. Also the Trigger Dopant could have been an awesome villain, but the character just comes off as trying too hard and the suit looks really dumb compared to the other main dopants that are sleak and/or minimalist in design, like Heat. It doesn't look like an agile marksman or a trick-shotting cool guy, it barely even evokes "gun" outside it's gun arm. Also the more 'cinematic' look sometimes looks epic, sometimes look desaturated and weird. Also the OOO cameo is still weird to me. Almost moreso after actually watching OOO. |
