You can thank your Sunbutt Princess that I wasnt around last night when you were shitting on Kuuga, Matrix :lol

Oh well, as Switchblade said, some people get the greatness of Kuuga and some don't. Opinions and all that stuff.

@Topic: I watched the Den-O movie, because the tie-in with the show was so strong and I had it available anyways. And honestly, I’m not sure what to think. Gaoh was cool but I wished he got more development than just: "I'm a time pirate, I capture time trains and then destroy everything.”

First of all, major waste, because the actor was really cool. Second: How the hell does he even do that? I mean, he can jump between time periods with the aid of the Imagin, but how the hell does he know where the trains will be? I mean I get it, he sets a trap for Den-O who has to come with the Denliner and then snatches the Denliner, but he is known as someone who steals time trains before Den-O was a thing so how did he do it?

And I’m not sure if the movie was good enough to warrant the heavy tie-ins in the show. I mean it was funny to see Deneb kidnapping Ryotaro, but still… don’t like it. Even W didn’t have that huge of a tie-in were the movies actually played a bigger role for the plot, but that’s another story.

The movie was fun, don’t get me wrong, I enjoyed watching it, but for a movie this wasn’t different enough to a normal episode and normal episodes came short because of the tie-ins. That’s a little disappointing IMO.

My favorite moments of the movie was in the sub-plot that involved the picture of Ryotaro’s parents, and I think that could have been told in a normal episode.

But oh well, I watched Episode 28 immediately after and it was awesome. The slight sadness involving the Imagin fading away was nice, and Climax form is awesome. I love the masks on the body that drive around on the tracks of the suit, that’s really cool.

Kiva had a lot of stuff that was only used once. Most of them were never properly explained, either.

I'm not gonna get into the whole arguments about Kuuga and Agito, because its all about varying taste.

I'm just gonna say I like them, and if that bothers you, then the thing you like is bad because I dont like it yet other people do. If you don't like the copious deaths in agito and Kuuga, that's fine, but I dont think that makes them bad. By that logic, every Ultraman that has scenes of a giant monster destroying a city is bad too. Again, I'm fine with people not liking it. But again,if someone is gonna be a salty butt because someone likes something they dont, they can deal with it.

Did they ever properly explained how all the past monsters became weapons?

How very thinly veiled.

I started a rewatch of Kiva months ago, but only got maybe 3 or 4 episodes in. I'd participate in an October Kivathon, for sure.

Explain? yes.
PROPERLY explain? I wouldn't exactly say that.

As I recall, King just kinda waved his hand at them and turned them the weapons. He was imprisoning them and preserving them, because they were the last of their kind. But HOW he did it? never explained, and like so many things in Kiva, such a power is never seen again.

Just giving my opinion. :p again, all I want is for everyone to get along, and to not get angry about a series just because people like it even if you dont.

Not you specifically, I mean everyone in general.
I'm also referring to people getting mad over others disliking something they like.
I have been on the receiving end of both and it sucks a lot.
People can like what they like, even if others dont, and vice-versa.

I'd do my darndest to participate. Provided I could survive it.


So why are they weapons?

But people should be allowed to discuss it as well.

People should be allowed to discuss it, yes. But not to the point where things get so heated that fights break out and take up the whole thread. I'm not saying that that has happened, but you, it can and we don't want that. ^_^

It's quite fine to love and enjoy Kuuga.
But to call it great is an insult to the franchise.
Now then, onto task 2...

The death is no problem. Really. I would prefer if they weren't meaningless statistics, but it wasn't a real issue.
The real problem was that it was boring as fuck. Nothing happens, and when the show starts to hit a stride, it makes damn well sure to put a stop to all of that within 2 episodes.

I've been heard unexplained powerups happen a lot in Inoue shows. I haven't gotten to this point in Faiz but from what I hear... doesn't Kaixa literally toss an upgrade at Takumi's head or something?
