i hated double, too many comic relief characters, not enough storylines that go past the two ep. thing.

But you liked Decade, where half the main cast and half the AR Riders were comic relief and NONE of the storylines broke the two episode rule?

ya i think i need to rewatch decade, i think i was just really happy with average stories because i had just gotten off kabuto, that writing team made me go slightly insane

and there were a lot of overarcing stories (am i using that word right?) in decade. narutaki, kuuga, kuugas girl, and the last two episodes

Aw, shoot, I missed all the Kiva discussion. Suffice it to say, it's got my favorite designs, and music, and it's probably my favorite series. though I think I may have actually enjoyed Den-O a teensy bit more.

I'm watching through Kabuto right now, and I'm more on the side of Tendou being a troll, rather than an asshole. But I'm also only 10 or so episodes in, so maybe he gets worse. Like him well enough so far.

ya den-o and kiva have always teeter tottered in my mind which is better. and about tendou..... ughhhhhh. thats all i can say about the character.

(p.s. my name is also ryan :) )

Kuuga's story? Accel's story with Weather.
Narutaki didn't have a story. He was never explained.
Last two episodes? Double's last 10.

I'm not a part of the bandwagon that blows Double every time it's brought up. But from a story telling and characterization standpoint, it's just a superior series.
Decade isn't a bad series, either. It's just not as good as it initially was, IMO, now that I have prior series knowledge.

OOO still reigns supreme for my favorite series.
But Kiva and Den-O aren't far behind it.

Tendou is a special kind of Rider. He's the titular character, but he's not the main character. It's obviously Kagami that's the character we're supposed to be following.

well i dont blow decade either, its just i have to defend it cause well no one else does (except for the user named decade), but u gotta admit u could quite literally mix around the 2 ep. chunks in any order and would connect in story just as much

The same could be done with Decade, Fourze, and Kiva (Not really OOO, since the medals shifting pretty much made it locked).
It's not an issue unique to Double.
