Kiva 8

What The Hell. Apparently when you give your soul to five butlers they turn into some giant Mecha-Chandillier.. Who knew? Still very awesome, especially seeing Castle Dran do more than just show up and eat a Fangire.
And the episode was good.. But then I saw the previews. Ixa: Fist On! Hell's yes!

Episode 9 of Kiva down. And I'm starting to get a hang of this series. So Wolfboy, Fishguts, and BigFist aren't Fangire's.. But people who's races were destroyed by the Fangire.. THE PLOT THICKENS LIKE MASTER'S COFFEE!

And IXA! .. For all of forty seconds. Onore....

So why don't people like Kiva again? :eyebrow

Episode 10 down and I'm loving this series. IXA is Bad Ass, even Nago is a bit of a douche. I say bit but what I mean is the man makes douches look like saints.
And I felt sorry for Frogire. To think, better earphones and he wouldn't have attacked anybody ever. Also felt bad for Wataru.. But atleast he learned something about his Father this episode.

Kiva starts nicely, but by the 30's it becomes a mess imo, and character development simply becomes nonsensical after a while.

Then again there are also tons of people who like it.

I just found it fumbling too much. Otoya became a total bore once he started shacking up with the Fangire Queen, Nago lost all character once Kengo left, Wataru's character took a complete 180, and the overall story just wasn't very gripping after a certain point.

I never found Kiva to be as terrible as others, but I did find it to be really lacking. Some nice designs won't carry a show for me.

Well I'm enjoying it :lol

Figured Id also post my thoughts on Blade here-

Wizard 34- Finally getting backstory for Gremlin, but who cares for this episode. I literally laughed my ass off when Haruto stops Rinko, connects to get the Doughnut, then says "Okay, we're good" :lol

So far caught up to Wizard 47 and Holy crap it's getting good!

Kiva 11 - Reasons why Nago is a Jerk, is what this episode should've been called. He sent his father to prison over a small clerical error, and raves about how Kiva is humanity's enemy. He even belittles Megumi. Who's not exactly the best person but atleast she has a soul.. Not sure Nago does.
But it's good seeing Spider Fangire again. As creepy as that dork is he's one of the better Fangire's. And who knew Shizuka-Girl could play drums :lol
