Each time they go to the past, he is there a little longer.

Watched Kabuto episodes 15-18 over the last couple days, and it's made me love Kabuto, Drake and Kagami more. Really awesome characters and story so far.

Does the movie actually explain how the Makamou came into existence? Or the people creating the Makamou? Or the people who create the people who create the Makamou? Or... oh **** it, I give up. I hope you know what I mean.

As for the discussion of filler, I definitely agree with this. I really think Rider/Sentai series were 40 episodes long instead of 50. In fact, most anime series that are planned to be 50 episodes have this problem to (especially Gundam), because it is like the writers don't really have any way to develop the characters for that length of time, and due to a rushed schedule, don't have time to even figure more out, so they just write random nonsense. I get that some writers want to let the characters dictate the way the story goes, but unlike things such as One Piece (as Oda does), these series are already set to have around 50 episodes. With that, you need to have a planned beginning, middle, and end from the get go.

I don't expect every episode to develop the plot. In fact, there are a lot of amazing episodes when you have individual stories. However, I don't like it when series will introduce the main character(s) in the first episode and have the next few episodes to develop those characters, and then they just go into a standard formula with nothing happening at all for another 10-20 episodes outside of a maybe a new character showing up or something. If you know how to write, you can easily pace yourself and have plot building up in some form every few episodes so your audience does not get bored.

This is the problem with Black. It is one of my top favorite series because the stories it does tell are interesting and Kotaro is such a bad ass. However, you could pretty much cut the series down to 18 episodes. I mean, you need the first two episodes, the intro to Road Sector, then the first couple with Birugenia. From there, you can just skip right to the last episodes with Birugenia with the introduction of the Satan Saber and Shadow Moon's birth, and even skip another 7 episodes after that little mini arc for the last episodes. That kind of sucks for a series that has such a deep and intricate story to tell. Of course, they could have also spent some time developing Nobuhiko after he became Shadow Moon, having him turn into his human form and stuff, but nope, they would rather introduce two pieces of ass that do nothing but stand there. They don't even fight at all.

And this is the main problem with Wizard, but also why I cannot hate Wizard. If I hated Wizard, it means I would have to hate Black, and even the original KR series. But then, even Shinkenger suffered from this issue to. They did a lot in the beginning, a lot at the end, but dragged the middle of the show out.

Anyway, I really do wish they would either cut the series down to 40 episodes or just get better writers who can plan out a series to make it paced

Nope. The Man and Woman never get explained. I'm sure the real writers had plans, but like everything else they got chucked out the window after episode 29.

And as far as an explanation for the Makamou, I always just viewed them as a natural part of the world. Like any other wild animal, but more powerful and dangerous.

Fourze 33 and 34, fieldtrip kittaaaa!

It was ok, I guess, the girl from this arc was kinda boring, and honestly after 34 episodes (and specially after the events of the last arc) we don't need to be reminded that Gentaro is willing to help his friends powers or not.

That said we did learn more about Kengo's father, that was nice.
Also Foundation X!!!, combining that with the girl that had a crush on Gentaro, it kinda felt like the Megamax Movie.

Oops, I forgot the name Makamou only referred to the big animal thingies. I was talking about the guy and girl combo.

So I started watching Ryuki episode Final, though I paused it about thirteen minutes in to make dinner. Let me just say it is AWESOME to see a female rider who, at least looks, badass. No frilly or bubblegummy crap or knock-knee'd whatever the hell Nadeshiko did after transforming. Instead she does cool martial-arts hand movements, kinda like Agito did. She's more of a typical knight than Ryuki. Though her cape and rapier make her similar to Knight design-wise, she's got a pretty cool look. Doesn't help that she's similar in colours to Wing Form, and also like Wing Form is based off a swan. Huh. Also her Sword Vent is awesome. I don't know what you call those big twin-blades sword things, but they're always cool. I can't imagine ho many weapons you can pull off a Swan though. Also, she's kinda funny, scamming a man by making others think he's scamming her. Horrible person, but funny. I know more than to, mostly, judge a Ryuki character by first impressions.

Also Zolda and Ryuki are back, fighting kind of together. Gorou even shows up and does his super-supporting powerful boytoy butler smile as Zolda transforms. Just seeing those two together again is awesome on account of how sad, but great, their final moments in the show were.

Fourze 35 and 36

I liked it, a lot, it simply felt like a better JK arc than the first one, learning more about cosmic states was nice and they introduced the core switch so the story is moving forward.

So watched Episode 4 of Decade, is it because I havent seen Kiva that I care nothing for this arc? Or is the fact that this is just boring? :lol

It's Decade. Once you get past the flare, you'll find it to be a lot more boring than you initially thought.
