And there’s nothing wrong with Accel. Wait a couple more series and you’ll find the real Kamen Rider with no fans.

Honestly, I was just picking Accel to see if someone would be all How Dare You Accel Is My Spirit Animal. I don't mind Accel! I'm mostly into the fact that folks will feel strongly about Riders I wouldn't think too much about. That's pretty fun for me to see, the passion for Riders that are barely a blip on my radar. Accel and Meteor are maybe my two least-favorite Phase 2 Riders (I don't even dislike them, I'm largely indifferent to them), and I wonder if anyone out there just, like, adores them. I guess I was trolling, a bit, to see if someone would want to argue on behalf of Ryu Terui. Somebody's probably got feelings about that guy! (I will say this: dude says the best Henshin of the entire franchise, maybe.) (To clarify, the way he says Henshin is my favorite. "Hen... ... ... ... SHIN!" It's like he's forcing it out of his body. He's going to give himself a hernia saying Henshin someday!)

As to Wizard, what kills me is that I think it gets better by the end. The last string of episodes have some smart plotting and difficult emotions. It's a lot of the first two thirds that I find criminally dull.
