So why didn't they run a silver sharpie over the buttons?

Also Wing form got a new belt buckle and not Strike. ROBBERY.

I thought they only got train cars after they became Den-O. Like, they materialized once that Imagin was part of the belt, and that's just how Den-O works. Afterall, sword form was obviously programmed into the belt because it looks like Denliner.

See? I'm willing to accept the train thing but the buttons grab my logic sack. Den-O may have fucked up my understanding of continuity and suspension of disbelief.

I kind of like the design for Blade. I wouldn't say they're bland, just same-y. There's not a huge difference between the many helmets and overal motifs.

W is pretty great. My favourite series overall and has a lot of good stuff going for it.

One thing W does that I notice no other series has done is have backstory. Real, we-wanna-know-this backstory beyond "an ancient evil was on Earth a long time ago and was evil." I mean, without spoilers to anything good, you have the technology of double, where Philip came from and everything about Shroud and Skull. I mean, I haven't watched a huge whack of shows, but out of W, OOO, Kabuto, Agito and Den-O only W has had an actual history that's readily apparent from the beginning and a concious effort to show important events having happened before the main rider existed. W has some serious world-building going on that a lot of Rider shows I've watched seem to lack.

WHY HAVEN'T WE HAD A FULL-ON SKULL MOVIE!?! Arrrgh, no we just get a billion Den-O spawns that don't have Den-O in them.

So I'm currently in the middle of Kamen Rider Kuuga, I'm finding it slow paced right now but likeable. I was wondering what should I watch next out of Hibiki, Kabuto, Kiva, Agito, or Ryuki?

I may not like W all that much, but I would be 100% behind a Skull movie.

Agito. It's basically a sequel to Kuuga. And a caviat about Hibiki: It's not a normal kamen Rider series. It's good, just very different.

Just watched Kabuto 11, and my overwhelming feeling is... Only Kagami would invite Tendou to a double date and not know all of the women were Worms.

I'd be all for a Skull Movie, Blade is pretty cool, and only Kagami would invite Tendou to a double date and think Tendou was his friend.

Ha! I loved that episode! Until Drake showed up :(

I haven't seen enough of Daisuke to make a decision yet. But the whole make-up artist lothario seems like it would get old fast.

His lack of anything to do with the actual plot of the show means he shows up rarely and briefly. Sometimes it's just shots of the Drake suit with no Daisuke or even voice over. When it's get near the end I think he may appear like once within the last 10 episodes. He's a bad character anyway but he also wasn't utilized like at all.

Maybe they realized he was a bad idea midway through and gave up :lol

So, episode 45 of Ryuki.

So not only is Imperer the most annoying and worst looking Ryuki Rider, he turned out to be just as pointless as Scissors.

I have no complaints.
