Kamen Rider Blade.

*drops mic and walks out*

I thought the show was so bad I've never made it past the first ten episodes.

You do have to admit though that those first 10 episodes had a lot of story right?

Back on topic.

Show's gonna end good right?

God I hope so. If Gaim falls flat on its face this late in the game then it is going to go down as one of the most disappointing falls from grace ever. At least IMO.

A lot HAPPENED sure, but there wasn't a lot of story no, as we had zero context for anything at that point.

Hey. It could just end like Decade did: Right before the big battle it promised at the start. Then they could throw thirty minutes of "epilogue" that asks more questions than answered into Drive's movie at the start of the year. That'd be greaaat... :cry

The thing with Gaim is, is the fandom has hyped the show beyond what it is actually capable of. So however it ends, the fans wont be happy.

That's true. I love Gaim, I do, it's definitely a contender to be one of my favorite seasons, but the heaps of praise the fanbase piles on it are just...they act like it can do no wrong and a lot of times legitimate criticism is met with such furious backlash, I'm all for loving the show, but blind fanboyism isn't the way to enjoy something.

I'm gonna try and keep my expectations low and hope for the best. I went into the series already damn near hating it because I couldn't get passed the motif and the stupid samba dancing dinosaurs from Kyoryuger had me soured on anything resembling dancing in a toku series at the time. I ended up really enjoying the show though, but I'm not gonna pretend it's perfect. It's not on the same level as Ryuki or Hibiki at least, probably gonna end up around W and Faiz for me I think.

Gaim is a great series. It has become my favorite Rider Series...no, favorite Show in general. I'm glad Gen Urobochi wrote this show. If this had been the same as the last 4 shows, it might still have been okay, but not as good as this. This show is awesome for so many reasons; the story, the characters, the gimmick, and basically everything in it (well, except maybe the lack of forms for other riders, that was kind of annoying.). Anyway, Gaim has been enjoyable so far, I'm hoping that the remaining episodes will be as great as the ones so far, and, hopefully, Drive will be able to uphold the current greatness of the Kamen Rider series. I mean, it better not go back to the old "2-episode story arc" formula, because after a show like this, it'll be like Power Rangers in Space to Lost Galaxy: Ratings will boom at the end of the show, and then ratings will drop to...medium. So, basically, Kamen Rider Drive needs to be as good as Kamen Rider Gaim. I'm hoping Urobochi will continue to write for this show, and make it awesome (then again, I won't enjoy it as much, considering that this show has a fruit samurai theme, and to me, you can't top that.)

Over hype is what has been drowning mg enjoyment for Gaim. I've been enjoying it, but I'm tired of most of the fan doing foaming in the mouth over the show every week thinking it's the shit (I could understand the first 15 episodes but people are still doing it now) When the show is over, it'll all settle. I think its fighting for my number one series with Blade but if it has a crappy ending, then second place for you Gaim.
