On rewatch, the only thing that my opinion on Decade changed was Onodera. He's a pretty solid lead and just an overall great guy who was underutilized.

Otherwise, my disdain for that series still burns as bright as ever.
Hell, even the apparently untouchable Kuuga I felt to be a let down, and I feel it's primarily because the fanbase builds it up so needlessly. It's aggravating.
Thankfully, it seems only Kuuga gets this kind of treatment. Since the fanbase is so critical of so many other series, including "Perfect" shows like Gaim or W that they're not afraid to speak against them.

But, still, just the fact that Zi-O made people reconsider their stance on Decade either tells me that Zi-O is just that bad, or Decade wasn't as bad as I remember, and considering I've seen Decade 3 times, I'm pretty fucking sure it's not the latter.
