Fair enough if you feel that way, I personally found the plot pretty focused as far as toku goes.

DK 07.

Although this was probably one of the weakest episodes for story, between Kit's otherworldly stupidity and Len's way of always dragging out conflict by never saying the words that need to be said, actionwise this was a GREAT episode.

I dunno, I kinda wanna like Kit more than I actually do. He has a much more complex dilemma than most American Toku heroes as he is just thrust right into the middle of a very real, very dangerous conflict and has to pretty much make every decision on the fly to stay on top. The actual set up is great but it just seems odd to create such a passive, naive hero to throw right into the middle of it all. I mean maybe that is the point, that he's the worse person to be caught up in this kind of mess but it still doesn't make the drama feel any less contrived, at some points I'm not sure Kit is even human with the kind of decision making skills he has. It's just not very fun following such a moron around.

Although the actual context was kinda... missing that unmorphed fight was AWESOME. No weapons, no powers, just a pure take out your frustrations beatdown. Mullins may not be the best actor in the world, but that boy got presence. Plus, although the editing is admittedly horrible to the point where some fights are so smashed together and heavily spliced it's almost impossible to follow what is happening, the Ryuki fights seem decent enough to me.

Some of the choreography is a little clunky, and the CGI is often both bad and used unnecessarily but it's the great characters that bring the action to life. I really really like Torque, he's not a villain that will redefine a generation, but there is something weirdly awesome about also giving the snake the biggest gun in the room. I mean his Final Vent man, it's so stupid and overpowered, it's just glorious.

Currently marathoning all series one after the other, while watching Gaim on the said. Currently at Blade... *groan* While I'm glad the actors got out of the 'Screaming all the time=EMOTION' phase, the series has so many problems (mostly tied to writing)... And yet so many good ideas too, which makes the end result even more infuriating to me.

I loved Blade a lot, during it's final episode it has one of the best endings of Kamen Rider IMO.

I absolutely love the characters and the growth they go through.

I like Tachibana, and the actors get slightly better during the course of the series. The Rider designs are really well done too, and the trading card system is actually well put together.

But the editing is terrible most of the times (the first three episodes were something abominable) and the writing is subpar most of the times except when it shines. It's like, either it's very good or it's very, very bad. But it's getting better at the point I'm in because, as I found out, the series changed main writer in its middle. But some of the characters are just... HNNNGH! SOMEONE HANG THAT LITTLE GIRL!

Uhhhh... what?

Jet Condor, AbareKiller, Dragon Ranger, TimeFire, Rio, Mele, the first Bio Yellow, Zanki, Kaixa


There are many reasons I don't like Dragon Knight, that is just one of them as it was a cop out. I also find the sound effects and music to be hardly noticeable, and that is a factor in these types of shows, to have music and sound effects. When those barely exist in your show of this caliber, there is a problem. The acting makes the acting in MMPR look like The Shawshank Redemption. The characters just are not interesting at all. And everything is so child friendly. Yes, I know this is a show aimed at kids, but they go more child friendly than even Sentai. And then there is the fact that half of the final episode is a freaking clip show. A CLIP SHOW!!! Oh, and also, the show is so boring.

The only praise I can give DK is for actually using all 13 riders in the show.

Blade changed writers? LOL I didn't notice because the show was still amazing.

Blade is the best Rider series I've seen. Amane is annoying but at least she's not the focus in every episode.

Am I the only one who didn't hate Amane? :lol

The only time I hated Amane was Missing Ace which really doesn't even count. I really don't get the hate for her.

I didn't hate Amane either, I didn't hate anyone in Blade. I even love Mutsuki, even though he was annoying when Possessed but still anyone can get annoying when possessed.

I'd like to mention that Blade had some of the most humorous scenes I've seen in Kamen Rider just because of the randomness of it.
