I'm the total minority on this, but I tried Kabuto and could not stand it. Largely because of Kabuto himself being so God damn horrible and pretentious. Minor spoilers about the first few episodes, but:

Kamen Rider has a habit of saying a lot of what doesn't need to be said, and Kabuto is basically this trend at it's utter worst in regards to Tendou, wo is Kabuto. Tendou is a very skilled fighter and quickly learns how to be Kabuto. That's not a problem. The problem is him literally believing he is God's gift to mankind, and the amount of shear ludicrous pretentiousness and forced drama that comes form him constantly saying it. (his name literally translates to Walking teh path to heaven or some bullshit) Because, you know, the audience could never figure out he was a cool guy without him telling us over and over that he literally cannot do any wrong. The only worthwhile character is Kagami who's the total opposite, but he doesn't do anything for a while and is likewise kid of heavy-handed in his character.

People try to defend him as a "troll" (because they are the most endearing of people, you know) but he's not, because he believes he is a God, and little in the show stops him. He's in dire need of a wake up call and never gets one. He's a smug asshat who would have made an excellent villain rider if he had ever been killed by someone with an actual personality.

Also, his finisher is hella boring, and the main gimmick of the riders and enemies made for hit-and-miss action. As for the rest of the show, I found literally every other character besides butthead Kabuto and Kagami to be boring and forgettable, in that I have forgotten them.

I do even remember what the villains did.

Yep.

Kabuto's okay. It's a pretty solid series for the most part, but I didn't think it was anything very special.

Here is the thing though, I did not post any links stating such. I posted and what I post is and always will be my opinion unless there is something to back it up as fact. Nothing against you, but this is something many on the internet fail to understand. Just because you make a statement does not mean you are passing it around as a fact. It is under your user name, therefore making it your opinion.

Kain, Matrix, and everyone else to while I'm here, ease off. No reason to turn it into a fight :p

W Ep 11. I felt bad for Kouhei. Took justice into his own hands, but he did it because they sent his sister into a coma. Now we'll see who this Virus is, and how someone got into the INDEX. o-o I thought it existed inside Philip's mind.

Maybe I should clarify. The INDEX doesn't exist inside Philip's mind, Philip simply has the ability to access it via his subconscious. To put it bluntly, the INDEX isn't in Philip's mind so much as Philip's mind is in the INDEX... if that makes any sense. :lol

It's like visiting a library. :p

Exactly. :D

Sure why not :lol

Yeah, Philip is the only one to be able to access it. If you ever wondered why the book he reads has no words, it's because he's actually reading the information from the Gaia Library (another name for the index) in his head, and the book is just a blank surface so he isn't distracted.

He's "imagining" the words on the pages, so to speak. And much like Philip's conciousness travels into W when they transform, his conciousness sort of "steps in" to the library during lookups.
