And that is one of the things I like about Blade. It starts some time into the story and builds up the plot through flashbacks and it doesn't give you long drawn out exposition on what happened.

I always appreciate shows that do that. It's less linear without being convoluted. Like Batman. His cartoon started in the thick of things and his backstory was explained later to great effect.

After falling in love with Dragon Knight, it being one of my most favourite Toku series of all time, I've always wanted to find another Kamen Rider series I could get into in the same way. However since I know jack shit about KR lore or legacy, I never knew where to start.

I was told W was a good place to start but I gave it the first ten episodes and it really did nothing for me, so I thought, fuck it Wizard is the latest KR iteration I'll just jump in there.

And I thought the opening episode was...okay.

I'm a sucker for Urban Fantasy so I thought the concept was awesome and I thought the fight sequences were awesome as well, even if the CGI is still awful and it looked so very cluttered with him constantly changing rings and doing stuff with his Driver. On the other hand I'm not a big fan of Wizard's suit design and fucking Christ that belt is annoying as shit.

Sounds like you might like Kiva, honestly.

Ooo really? I'll look into that one as well.

I'm 4 episodes into Kiva, it's really good so far =) Quirky and lovable characters and kick ass women so far.

I'm so excited but the TV Nihon torrent is slooooow.

I know that feeling, I just download single episodes from KRDL till the torrent finishes.

Looks like KRDL is down :(

That suck =(
