To my experience, you're not wrong so far--I don't think it's "More Kuuga" though. Things seem to happen more often, they just don't seem to make a terribly large amount of sense and don't seem to troubled when they don't.

In the meantime I'm watching some Blade as well. Never having seen it, I'm curious to see how it plays.

I don't know who he is, but I want his Figuart.

His Figuart is awesome, and so is the Genocider.

But it is very esspessive. :o

Worth every penny I saved up for it :cool:.

Blade 6

Ah, the theme song's stuck in my head, finally. Been wondering when it would happen in this Blade. Anyway, the chief still lives. I figured as much.

And Tachibana's problem is literally all in his head. Though...he could still die from it unless he conquers his fear. Which might be why the other Rider's aren't experiencing this problem. Well, Hajime isn't even human but whatever.

Might be a little hard to conquer any fear though, when some creepy dude in shades is floating outside your window, glaring at you. Mysterious guy with shades also seems to know the Rider's identities. I'm going to guess and assume he's working with those mystery dudes in the vans, chasing after the chief.

Hajime seems to have been there during Amane and Koutaro's father's dying moments. So either he just happened to find him while he was dying...Or he was involved somehow...Hmm.

And now I know what Tachibana's Rider name is...Garren. It was probably mentioned before, but I never caught it. But that was a pretty suspenseful cliffhanger. The main character kidnapped....

I actually liked that Tachibana's issue is mostly just all in his head. It's a level of depth that both expands beyond 2 episodes as well as greater characterization than other secondary riders receive.

I think Blade is one of the best shows to really handle having multiple Riders effectively. All four get a ton of character development and none of them ever feel like they're just wasting space.

*Than others, not that others :lol

Anyway, I agree. I do have to say it felt like the Mutsuki stuff dragged, but otherwise, it balanced the 3 riders quite well. Aside from Garren sometimes bamfing in just for a fight scene than having no impact other than "He showed up to fight", it really felt like the characters were still growing beyond their significant character arc.

OOOs 3, once again nothing really stood out to me. I guess it's hard when I'm watching this alongside Fourze which is unlike anything Rider related I've seen so far.

Then again I really like Ankh, even if the actor himself is hideous :lol And it's still great fun watching Os fight.
