Eternal in this movie is good. Eternal in his own V-Cin is bad.

Anyway, W was the... fourth full season of Kamen Rider I watched, I believe? If the US shows aren't counted, anyway.

But yeah I felt the show was a bit slow to start, once it got good it got really good. And even now, after having seen most of Phase 1 and that W isn't technically what started alot of Phase 2 trends, it still feels like a really unique entry in the franchise, and while it might not have started alot of Phase 2 trends(though it most certainly did start some), it sure as heck perfected a good chunk of them.

Granted, I've only seen about half of Phase 2 as of this writing, but I still feel like out of all the "typical" elements of a Phase 2 Heisei season, W is the one to do most of them the best, only to be outdone by OOO.

Really hoping I can find the time to rewatch the show before the anime comes out, but even I can't, you'd better believe I'll be watching the simulcast alongside the rest of the message board when it happens next year. First time I'll be able to do it, too!
