Episode 1 of Kuuga.
It was...A thing. As for pilots, it was okay. It gave me a nice look at our cast and none of them really annoy me. However, they all seemed a little bland.
From the get go, I got a nice first impression of Yusuke. He's a nice dude that'll keep others happy and fight for smiles and etc. He's pretty cool, and I like that he willingly stepped up to the plate, not like some riders who only became a rider by circumstance.
The mystery of the Grongi begins, but because they speak in a made up language, there really isn't much to comment on them. It's just "opkjhklasd/fhsd f Kuuga oijkhajfd" every time one of them talks, so...Eh.

The biggest problem I have right now is the fight scene against the spider, and it's from 2 vital areas. The first is the music. It's a very weak track that played over the fight. I know not all fights need some special theme playing with rock and pop as the hero whoops ass, but here is didn't energize me at all. The second was the editing. There were very jarring cuts that made some parts of the fight hard to follow and messed with the pacing.

Anyway, there isn't much to talk about otherwise as things have just begun.
