Watched 44-46 of Kabuto and I horribly sad...Can deaths like this and Kiva stop happening, along with Playing Mass Effect I can barely take the deaths of so many amazing characters it makes me horribly sad.

Anyways I can't really focus after 46 so Sasword, Kabuto, Gatack, Punch Hopper, Kick Hopper and (even for a mini scene) Drake are all awesome. Loved seeing theBee one last time.

I supposed it was intentional, and as I said before Haruto seems like a more serious and level-headed protagonist that the other Neo-Heisei riders which is a good thing.

Hopefully I'll like Wizard a lot, Haruto at the very least seems like a breath of fresh air. But that Driver will drive me nuts, I love the spells but the "Shabadoobie touch to henshin" annoys me a lot.

I just watched the Hyper Battle Video of Kabuto and Hyper Gatack looks awesome. Also really funny and loved the Zectors talking and learning about each Zector too.

The logic used to grab a second Hyper Zecter so Kagami could use it was hilarious :lol But I wish Hyper Gattack got more love. I don't even know if there's a vinyl for it but I'd kill for a figuart.

Why there are two Hyper Zecters? Because of time travel, f#ck logic. :lol
Hyper is nice but I definitely prefer regular Gattack.

It's kind of unfortunate that the only acknowledgement Hyper Gattack received beyond the HBV was in the Kabuto fighting game.

Black 06. Despite another one of Gorgom's overly convoluted plans, this was a pretty good episode. I especially liked the bird mutant.

Oh and I'll ask this while I remember - is there any particular point I should watch the movies or shall I just leave them to the end? I'm guessing they don't really fit in anywhere but I thought I'd ask.

Wizard 2:
-So he can only use magic through rings?
-Sleep is the best ring ever.
-So I'll have to deal with Shunpei for 52 episodes, I can do that... I think.
-Yes Haruto you are quite awesome.
-Nice backstory.
-The White Wizard has a cool design, shame they never made a WAP version of him.
-I like how he just tosses him the driver, the White Wizard has better things to do than to deal with rookie Riders.
-Shunpei seriously clashes with the rest of the cast. From what I understand Beast is also a comedic character (kinda) so is Shunpei really necessary?
-And he's a mage now... neat
-I like Wizard's fighting style, I know the suit actors avoid punches to prevent damages to the prop rings, but it's a nice fight style, very unique and with a nice flow.

Definitely better than the first one.

Not really, no. He has one moment a couple weeks ago that does justify his presence, but that's about it. Overall, Shunpei and his goofy slapstick is part of Wizard's big identity problem: it tries to be both a serious action drama and a wacky screwball comedy at the same time and, as a result, neither really works that well.

If it helps, Shunpei does tone things down some after Beast is introduced.
