Kuuga was ok IMO, but hardly the best or even in the top 3. The thing that brings Kuuga way down for me was that horrible 2nd to last episode.

As well you should. ;)

Yeah, the way they handled the first fight between Kuuga and Daguva was... weird.What I really like about Kuuga (and most of the early Heisei shows, although I think Agito and Kuuga did it best) was that it had a really mature feeling to it. Obviously it was still a show for kids, but it felt like it wasn't going to let that stand in the way of telling a compelling drama with some deep mysteries and interesting adult characters and issues. I haven't really gotten that feeling since Hibiki, especially with the main characters all skewing younger and younger.

Now I'm not saying that I need a Kamen Rider show to be like that, but I can't deny that having that sort of more mature feeling usually draws me into a show more (unless it's botched horribly like in Faiz).

Your not the only one, I loved the hell out of Kiva.

I liked Kiva too, for all the bad, dumb shit in it, there was a lot of good things too. But, there are a ton of problems that's preventing me from making it the best of the Heisei era.

This is difficult for me to answer. My personal favorite series is Agito. But Kuuga is the best Kamen Rider show ever created (IMO). But I also love Ryuki and Faiz...and Kabuto and W...This is why I can never answer these things. It would be easier to choose what my worst is :p :lol

Agito, followed by double

Hearing all this love for Agito makes me want to watch it, but it doesn't look like there's a good, complete subbed release of it. Am I just not looking in the right places?

The Cruel Angel subs are still around online, it just takes a bit more digging than the traditional fansubs.

Yeah it took me a while to re-find them after deleting them after my first viewing. TVN is SLOWLY doing Agito now too, so they might be an option..........if they ever finish it.

You can probably tell which one I like ^_^ lol. But it's actually tied with Double for me. Loved both series :)
