This show is 50% silence, but that silence exists soley in the gaps in dialogue. And there's things that are just not syncing up. Like how Homo said "every person shows supernatural powers before becoming Agito." Actually, no, nobody has. Yes there have been supernatural people, and the idea is they will someday become Agito, but none of the Agito we've seen have had supernatral powers, so you can't say that. You can't say something that's not actually proven. And he keeps saying Agito is more of a threat than the unknowns. Why nobody has tossed this guy into the squirrel farm is anybody's guess, because he's gone from "jerk who's at least multi sided with a sympathetic past" to "idiot" in no time. The "Overlord" is annoying. In fact I dare say most of this show is annoying. If it's not the same three pieces of music played again and again it's the high-pitched screeching of any supernatural moment, someone screaming for no fucking reason whatsoGoddamnever, eye-killing filters or dizzying visuals during flashbacks or moments where we're supposed to, I dunno what it's trying to do.

I really gave this show my best, I wante dto like it so bad, but it's just not the "masterpiece" people said it was. It's mood-swings, bizzare comedy (alright I get it, wide-angle lenses are funny ahahaha), non-characters, bad-acting (Really just a problem with Mana) annoying cinematic decisions and pretentious plot make me say it may be one of the weakest of the shows I've watched. Again, people have called it a "masterpiece" and it obviously thinks it is one. But it's not, and all it's little filters and pauses mid-sentence and pretentious storylines about God and humanity is just proof of it's lack of focus. It's throwing shit at a canvas and calling it art.

I think the reason people call this the best Rider series is simply because it's subject matter is more mature. I.e. it's not toy-selly or focuses on clearcut villains and heroes, and I'm sure some would call it a study on religion. It is far from, in fact I'd even go so far as to say it's not even that mature. Just because it shows more death and has more sitting and talking and a God-allegory doesn't make it mature. It makes it a very boring and snobbish show.

At least Agito has cool designs?
