Oh my god I agree with so much of that. I've seen people that said that Gaim shits on every Heisei era rider before it. lulwut? I think Gaim has the potential to become the best series, but to put down the amazing stories and characters that this franchise has offered is absurd to me. Its not the best Tv show I've ever seen either (that would go to Fringe).

But yeah Gaim overhypers piss me off *coughRRRcough*

That would be the best part of Gaim, my boy.

Well the lack that they use thier own gimmick, like why don't they trade lock seeds more often? They've done that like what? Once? With Gaim going bananas.

Also seeing some of the characters not a whole lot, I wish we could see more of Knuckle, Gridon, because well I feel like a lot of the audience just forgets they exsist.

When we learn something new it's always in that room at Ygrassil or during a fight scene, and the action. Sentai has better action than Gaimu does. Not to say I don't like it, but comparing it to past series it's just kind of lack luster to say the least.

I've got a bunch of problems, but I won't go into detail as lots of people have already said them like Mai's pointlessness, the hype storm that comes before every episode, how boring it can be to watch a serialised show when you have to watch a story play out over months and not a few hours etc

My biggest issue with the show though, something said a lot less, is the crap action. That is right, I called it crap. The initial gimmick was pretty fun, but that was also, seemingly, dropped and quickly at that. I assumed the idea of a detailed base suit was that they could cheaply swap out new armours over the top of that to give each Rider a bunch of crazy forms but yeah... that never happened.

And then when the action moved on to the Energy Riders and heaven above it somehow got even MORE boring. I know what kids will love, EVERYONE FIGHTING THE SAME WAY! Eurgh.

While I don't think the action is crap, the fighting the same way thing was solidified by the fact that there was a good stretch of episodes where the only relevant characters in conflict were Gaim and the Energy Riders. And Gaim was using Jinba all the time.

I didn't even like the initial Arms all that much, as the special effects were weak and the choreography clunky. The Riders lacked a sense of power, and impact, but with the Driver shouting away and all the bright colours as Gaim would switch between like five forms it was distracting and varied enough to still be fun.

But now he just stands still and fires a special effect with a few colour differences to the other guy standing still using the same effect with a few colour differences. They try and use the bow like a melee weapon but none of these guys are Chalice, come on.

The dancing subplot felt unneeded.

Some characters are underutilized, I mean seriously, WHY CAN'T WE HAVE MORE MISTAH KNUCKLEMAN!?

The pacing for the beginning was a bit slow.

The fact that some characters are becoming irrelevant.

The fact that Hase's death is unknown to a lot of characters.

Also, Kota's sister Akira. Holy shit. I hate her. Maybe it's cause of the fact that I have different values and such because I am a westerner, but Jesus Christ why would you make Kota give up on getting Money from the Inves games? Seriously, he was making a fuckload more cash than he was while doing TWO FETHING JOBS

Just gotta say, your sig really fits your last words.

- I'm not very fond of the fruit design, but that's just a cosmetic thing. It's still coherent in universe though.
- The wait for a whole week when an episode ends on a cliffhanger.

Wait...

Hold on a minute...

:confused:

You always complain about how people think it is okay for Sentai and Kamen Rider to be 80% filler and that that is stupid. Now we have a show that has been 100% plot with no filler and you... you just don't make sense dude. Sorry, but you don't.:lolol
