First, the sudden addition of the two female characters (Scorpion and Kana) was entirely pointless. They killed one off (once again confirming my suspicion that Gills life just completely sucks) and the other one just sort of disappeared after her attempted suicide. Completely needless characters IMO.

Second, what's with earlier Hesei era series not knowing how to conclusively finish off the main villain? Kuuga just implies the main villain was defeated and Agito blows the main villain up but then he shows up again (I guess as a spirit?). At least Ryuki had a fairly conclusive ending. I have to say that the newer Hesei era series (W, OOO, Fourze) get at least one thing right: they have very conclusive and final feeling endings. /RANT

Overall I'd really recommend Agito as the mystery is intriguing, the fights are great, and (unlike Kuuga) the mysteries are nearly completely resolved.

The last few episodes always feel a little bit different to me, like they're more of an epilogue to the main story. The two girls do really feel shoehorned in, but I like the biker chick so much that I don't really care. It's just a bummer that she had to be Gills-ed.

As for the final villain surviving, well, he's god. Agito is pretty damn awesome, but he's not strong enough to kill god. All he does is basically prove the strength of the human spirit in Rider Kick form and convince the Overlord to just hang back and watch how things go on their own.
