So, I'm finally done with Dragon Knight. Judging by the way people talk about it I would call it an EXTREMELY underrated series. It's very good and perhaps the best adaptation I've seen in terms of originality and new footage, but still not perfect.

The Good:
- Kit and Len grew really well as characters as the series progressed.
- Xaviax was a brilliant villain
- The way some cameo-level characters in Ryuki were suddenly catapulted to "main" character status. I'll undoubtedly be buying a Kamen Rider Femme Figuart, but it sure won't be for Miho.
- The fact Maya and Trent actually had purposes, even if Maya becoming Siren ended up being really pointless.
- The fact they brought all 13 Riders together for the end. Made me want a full set of figures more than any moment in Ryuki did.

The bad:
- 3 clip shows is way too much. The last episode is a clip show? No wonder your show got cancelled before it ended.
- The way the show suddenly shifts focus from Kit to Adam for the last few episodes. I just spent 34 episodes with Kit, I don't care about this other guy even if he looks exactly the same.
- Xaviax's destruction was a little...anticlimactic?
- Kamen Rider Onyx having NO proper explanation whatsoever. Seriously, this new deck is suddenly pulled out of thin air and no one even questions it or names it until the final episode.
- Too many of the "villain" Riders were the same sort of spineless lackies. Axe was really good when Spear was vented, but Strike, Incisor, Spear and Torque left a lot to be desired.

So yes, flawed but otherwise excellent show. I'll certainly join the campaign defending it from now on.
