I think the forms in Wizard rock, and his henshin device is down right awesome. I still think W and Blade have the best devices, but Wizard's is definitely up there. Sure, Wizard is slow moving, but I think that is more because I am watching the episodes as they are compared to marathoning them in a few days like I did with W-Fourze.

Now Shunpei, Rinko, and Koyomi need to just drop dead. Shunpei is one of the worst characters in the entire Kamen Rider series, definitely the worst since the boys in Hibiki. Rinko only occasionally seems to do police work. Koyomi, just stands in the background and maybe has one sentence and that is it. Sadly though, the supporting casts in these shows are getting worse each year.

The Phantoms, on the other hand, are awesome. However, that might attribute to the fact that they are based off mythical beasts, and I am huge into mythology. I thought Phoenix was pretty damn badass, I love Gremlin, and Medusa has a lot of potential. I definitely feel she is going to become the main villain in the last few episodes of the series.

Plot has been fine for me. It isn't amazing, but it is no where near bad. Comparitively, the plots in W, Blade, and Fourze were better, but it is superior to everything that came between Hibiki through Decade except Kiva and OOO.

My biggest issue is that lately, the fights just don't seem as epic. There seems to be a lack of energy and choreography in them.

And come on, the reason they haven't killed Haruto is plot convenience. In the real world, all of the riders (and rangers) would have been killed halfway through the story. That is why I would love to see Toei do something new and surprise everyone by killing off their main heroes at the end of one series and have it continue into the next year with a new cast trying to take back the world. It will never happen, but I wish it would.
