[Tokumonkey]

I just picked Kiva back up; I'd taken a months-long hiatus. I like some of the basic ideas, but the execution has frustrated me so far. I couldn't stand Wataru: hooray, a Rider too frightened to talk to other people! Also, I kinda want to punch Otoya. Also, the writers for their tendency to invert Buffy by having the women of the series be monster hunters fully incompetent at actually hunting monsters.

I took in episode 13 yesterday. Wataru seems less awful. Otoya is still awful, but now gets to do something. Jiro is still more fun to watch than the two leads.
