My biggest complaint so far is that not once has the thought of Godai maybe taking 5 seconds to hang out with his Cop friend in a field somewhere and maybe try to figure out what the hell he is capable of while transformed. Every time he turns into Kuuga he turns a different color and it becomes a series of trial and error while getting his ass handed to him.

The positives - The monsters are vicious as hell! and the smoke that comes off Kuuga's foot after a rider kick. That is super bad ass.

The thing is, he doesn't really have time to do that. The Grongi aren't just gonna take a holiday while Godai figures out what he can do. And really, the trial and error thing isn't a bad thing to me. It really hammers home the fact that Godai is very inexperienced and that he is fallible; you can beat him, he just refuses to go down. He gets better at fighting as he goes along and gains slightly more control over his powers (until they get way too strong for him that he's creating MASSIVE explosions when he kills Grongi and has to fight them in unpopulated areas just so he doesn't accidentally kill anyone), which to me is more fun to watch than the "Guy who gets Rider powers and is immediately awesome".

Kuuga is my favourite Rider show (for reasons stated here: http://www.tokunation.com/showpost.p...postcount=4792), so I'm glad you're watching it and I hope you enjoy it more than some people.
