There aren't a lot of explanations for why some types of weapons work better against certain types of monsters. Knowing how the string instruments in the show work, I assume it's because they can stab in and deliver the soundwaves internally, while percussion instruments have to get through the hard shell first.

Blade is my favorite Kamen Rider series to date.

Absolutely. The last third is amazing, though it does take a while to sit through the earlier episodes.

The thing with Blade is that it really does get really interesting from around episode 30 on. I was awfully slow with those episodes, but it gradually got more and logical and exciting. It's worth the wait. That finale is really different, in a good way.

Who knows. I didn't like Agito when I started but I fell in love with it over time. Then again it happened at a point in the 10s. I don't know if I could wait till the thirties for Blade, especially if I couldn't wait for Magiranger to pick up.

Blade picked up for me incredibly early, with Tachibana's story arc. I don't think one needs to get to the final third for it to get good...

Anyway, I watched Shin Kamen Rider. I know it was a prologue and thus there was intended for a follow up to be made. I get it. But can someone please explain to me what the hell I just watched?

The show starts at a frantic pace, I never runderstood the "only gets good at the 30's" comment.

It does have slow moments, but the start is super fast.

That actually makes a scary amount of sense :lol

I watched episode 1 yesterday...I have to agree.

A fast pace doesn't necessarily have to be good. My major problem with the early episodes of Blade is that it threw in so many questions that didn't seem to be answered. It was kinda confusing, but the pieces of the puzzle (pun intended) slowly came together. At around episode 30, I finally felt like I knew what was going on and the show became much more enjoyable. At that point, I just couldn't stop watching once I started an episode.

GRITTY VIOLENCE and HILARIOUS EMBRYOS :lol
