I definitely agree with you on that. Fortunately, Gentarou has had experience fighting these dudes by now, and with all of the upgrades, is able to handle himself a lot better than he could before.

I feel that the more quickly defeated Horoscopes has more to do with the power and experience of the people that become them. Instead of making them stronger like before, they rush it because they just want the switches.

I'm really, really liking Blade right now. It's freaking awesome. Also, because it's not using the 2 Episode structure of current series, the story flows much better.

I think the only problem I have is lack of a central antagonist. Don't get me wrong, it's not a bad thing, and I enjoy that the monsters only care for number 1 and they're not all lackeys to some jerk in a chair, but I'm just afraid they'll pull a Den-O with another Kai. Lots of high level Undead are introduced with the possibility of being a lasting threat, but then they're sealed (Granted, the "Next time" for ep 26 showed Mutsuki losing control again, so Remote is still a possibility for the likes of the Elephant Undead or Shinmei).

oh dont worry, the final villian is very awesome, ull see y

Blade was the last show to not adhere, even loosely, to the 2-episode format. Hibiki started playing around with it more, but still had a lot of ongoing subplots that hid the arc format better. Kabuto was the show that really made the two-part story arcs overshadow ongoing plots.

Oh trust me, you'll get your central villain and he is definitely no Kai.

y is everyone hating on kai, he was a mean, cold, serious villian. couldnt u see it on his face :lol
(it was sarcasm for the sarcasm impaired)

Huh. I don't have a problem with the two episode format, but Blade is a really nice change of pace.
One thing I'm really enjoying is the multiple monsters. A couple episodes back with the all out brawl between Leangle and 4 Remote unsealed Monsters vs the Riders was awesome.

I'll take your words on this :p

Uh, Most shows have done the two episode format since Kuuga. Kuuga, Agito, and Ryuki were almost always two episode plots.

Anyway, we are up to Episode 45 (taking a break in hopes that either Nihon or Overtime decides to sub the last episode in the next few hours, but I don't think that is really going to happen) and I have to way, I wanted evil Yuuki to stay. She was so much cooler than regular Yuuki.

ok, im marathoning fourze to catch up with everyone, is everyone so batsh*t stupid that they cant see ryuusei is gone for every fight even though being there 2 seconds ago

God dammit. All this talk about Blade makes me wanna watch it, but I've already started Kabuto. STOP MAKING ME WANNA WATCH THINGS TOKUNATION. ><
