[Den-O]

I can list quite easily the things that bug the shit out of me about Blade:

-Amane's creeptacular reverse pedo love for hajime

-Tachibana literally having no real convictions or drive at all, being evil half the time, and inconsistant or useless the rest. His 180 degree shifts in personality over the first 3 arcs kill him for me. I love his character by the end but he's unbearable early on.

-Mutsuki's flip flop nature with the Spider Undead. 1 minute he's fine and it's under control, the next episode he's wild again. The resolution of that stuff was great in the end, but it took FAR too long to resolve.

-The general lack of explanation for the Battle Fight by the end. We're given insights, we see the Stone of Sealing. That's cool. But the point of the original Battle Fight isn't ever clearly explained.

-Honestly the character motivations all around aren't entirely convincing to me. Out of all the characters involved only Hajime holds my interest. And even then half the time he's infuriatingly vague and agitative. To the point of killing crucial plots from time to time.

Overall I just can't care for that show. When there's something going on it's quick and will pass you right by. When there's nothing happening it drags on into forever.

I'm glad there are fans of the show, every show should have fans. But man Blade is not the show for me. The one saving grace is the awesome rider designs.
