Oh yes, the Liar arc. That's the token "let's just be silly for once" arc of the show. It's fucking bonkers, and yeah, Philip is too confusing as a girl.

I still don't know what Shotaro was supposed to even be dressed as.

Philip as a girl was hilarious :lol

I dont know either, but i so wish i could find that song he and phillip sang :lol

Yes. Yes it was :lol

That was by far Akiko's greatest moment.

Kiva 16

Past Plot: Seeing Otoya as Ixa and Jiro in wolf form team up to battle Rook was pretty awesome. Even if they got their asses kicked.

Present Plot: Now this is more like it. Things were pretty suspenseful in the beginning, when it was unclear if Dai-Chan/Rook would snap again or not. I never actually thought he'd kill the girl though.

This might be the first time I take Wateru seriously as a Rider. Too bad his fights are still kinda bland. And oh boy. Nago's back. How much of a tool will he be now, I wonder. Ah well, at least his new toy is cool.

And, uh...Castle Doran ate Wateru?! He's interacting with Jiro?! That can happen?! Huh...

Kamen rider W episode 25 this doll is creepy as hell.

I had the same reaction.

Anything can happen in Kiva. Especially if they don't have to explain it.

So what's everyone's opinions on The First and The Next movies? I just skimemd through The First (since it wasn't in English and I only know a little Japanese) but I can watch The Next in English. Those costumes are pretty stylish. Makes me want the Figuarts.

And that's the token "let's just scare the living shit out of the audience" arc.

The suits are awesome but the stories are deeply, deeply flawed (add a few more "deeply"s for The Next). Like a lot of his post-Agito work, the films suffer from Toshiki Inoue reusing a bunch of his tropes while clearly wanting to be working in a different genre.
