Yes on both points. Skull/Sokichi is one of the best characters in this series and deserved alot more airtime in the show then he recieved. But he died in the first episode so what can you do.
The trap was sadistic and that scene was the first time in the almost the entire show when I saw Akiko and didn't think "God... go away screaming girl.. Just go away.."

W Ep 17-18 Bird Memory

So many people to feel bad for here. Akane and her friends, even Nazca. So many people getting taken advantage of by everyone else. Wakana though seems like she'll be one of those enemies who becomes good or something, just get that vibe.
And very much looking forward to the next two episodes. Accel! Still don't like his helmet but I'm giving him a chance :lol

Flashbacks! :D

Ah yes, Nazca.

That was, yet again, another very memorable moment. The music was top-notch in that scene. W had great instrumental background music.

Flashbacks would be awesome! You could make an entire Netseries about Lost Cases done by Skull and Shroud! Even how he met Shotaro.. Or does that come later in the series? o_o

Absolutely yes. W's instrumental's are beautiful, and so are the designs for the Commanders. Taboo is a little strange but I think she's meant to be (Even if it looks like she's flying around in a giant boot).

Just finished watching Faiz and I loved it. :D That makes 9 Kamen Rider shows finished.

Awesome =) I just finished it too, one of my favs.

I was told not to watch Faiz because of the depression :lol I like a nice happy series like OOO, and W, and Fourze.

W Ep 19 - 20 Accel! Engine!

Ryuu started, like most Secondaries do these days, as a true dick. Then you learn why he's a dick and you feel bad for calling him a dick. Though I'm very curious to see how Weather plays into everything, and Shroud.
Enjoyed these episodes. A mother's love, a son who's an idiot, and Akiko. One episode with Ryuu and she calmed down alot.
And I keep feeling bad for Wakana. All she wants is out and all they keep doing is dragging her back in again.
I have a theory though about Philip's origin. Why do I get this feeling that he's the little brother Wakana remembered when she gave up Claydoll?

Still not sure about Acell. The design isn't bad, and I can get over the sheer weirdness of him becoming a motorcycle, it's that helmet I'm having trouble with.

It has its good moments, it has sad moments but it is a good series.

W Ep 21-22

They keep giving us Doponts recently that you feel sorry for, Aya is a perfect example. Until she used Ryuu's hatred for Weather against him and went all GaiaCrazy. But even then you felt kinda sorry for her.
Though if this episode taught us anything it's this: Always listen to Philip.
