It also helps that I’ve taken a liking to the characters although some don't have enough screentime (which is bound to happen I guess) - there's not enough Shizuka in this show so far, she definitely suffers from being "not important enough". I hope they do something cool with the character later but I don’t expect it.

Also, the one thing that bugs me so far is that the show doesn’t really bother to explain what Fangire are or where Kivat comes from. I can accept a talking bat-like toy flying around and giving the main character advice for a short while but after 10 episodes I’d like to know where he came from and how he ended up with Wataru. They will tell us eventually but I feel like they could drop a few hints at least.

Anyways, favorite character so far: Otoya. Why...?

Because he's interesting

I must say it is good you got around to watching Kiva since, It is a show I do find flawed and has a more issues then I would have hoped but it got me through a rough time, has really cool suits and music and it is ambitious for the concepts it wanted to play out.

On the actual topic thread, Have gotten back to watching kamen rider, specifically ex Aid where me and my friend got through episode 20 to 23, with Genm being more an ass until his inevitable defeat, which I am sure will last, clearly, definitely not going to come back or whatever.

I mean I don't know if he will comeback or not but I feel he could come back through something he had planned like if he had a back up or something.

The new suit looks.... bulky, like Kiva had issues with it's suit in terms of weight and given how huge maximum might x looks it does not seem great thus far, looking forward to the rest of it.

Also since episode 24 loks to be the crossover with sentai episode is it necessary or can we just skip it to continue with the story?
