But the middle of OOO had Date being awesome every episode so, personally, I noticed the meandering plot less. Plus the changing medal count usually made it feel like something happened every arc, even if it was just a new combo being unlocked or one being lost.

Fourze is doing an incredible job of making you care about non-Rider characters. I just hope that it sets up something epic, like others have suggested, where some of the KR club members (the nerdy guy and the hyperactive chick) end up being Zodiarts, and really throw Gen for a loop on what to do/how to handle them.

I'm with Kickback on this one. The strength of the show pulls on from how much the supporting cast villains and neutral alike each have an interesting archae-type/trope and seem to be, as they are interesting. I even find myself lately falling more in love with the zodiarts rather then the riders though. Infact, part of me wishes for them to succeed... In... whatever it is they are trying to do...

I kinda like how you are trying to look forward to which Medal Eiji's gonna get or lose in the next episode. Plus the greeeds all have a very interesting character and Kougami Foundation boss is hilarous. While in fourze's case, I could care less bout the switches and the Zodiarts villains. The only episode that I still remembered is Miu's bikini/pool side scene lol

We all remember the bikini episode fondly :lol

Not the same for me.
It was always "Which medal is Eiji going to randomly drop today? =\" Every time I saw it.
The Greeed were pitiful villains. Cazali was the only one to ever do anything beyond the "Send monster, watch it die, onore", Mezulu and Gamel didn't do much but stand there and react to Cazali and Maki, and Uva looked cool, but was rarely relevant.
Just seeing the Horoscopes take enough interest in their monsters to actively train and protect them makes them far more interesting to me than the Greeed, though I will admit that the Greeed did have more personality, thus their group scenes were interesting to watch.

Starting to find MIu's "Oops" pissing me off more and more...

They're just no longer appropriately placed and seem forced. So they're no longer cute.

At least at first they made sense when she actually made a mistake. Now it's any form of embarassment, and it's just too much.

But gosh darn it if she didn't still sound cute in saying it...

Well yeah, and I'd totally "Oops" her all night long... but... Eh?

My girlfriend (who has NEVER seen Fourze, let alone any Tokusatsu except Power Rangers as a kid) says "Oops" all the time ... gotta admit, love it ;)
