[Dr Kain]

As much as I love Fourze, I would probably place Kiva ahead of it. In fact, Kiva would definitely end up being in my top 10 best rider shows, not sure about Fourze.

Kiva was just so damn awesome. Wataru was fully developed throughout the series. Megumi and Ixa were also developed quite well. The Fangires were awesome villains. I also loved the constant shift between the 80s and present day and the effects from it. Unfortunately, the downside to that aspect as Megumi's mother came out appearing useless since the Fangires she hunted always got away. However, I like to think of that happening due to a lack of technology, they just did not have the resources to actually kill a Fangire, just stop them. Dark Kiva was an awesome villain and Maya was one of my favorite characters in the show. The only thing I did not like in the episode was the time traveling two parter when Wataru tries to keep Maya and Otoya separated and Ixa tries to stop his friends from being imprisoned for something that happened in the 80s. I also loved the races who were in the dragon castle and their back stories.

Of course, who knows, I haven't watched Kiva since it ended, so I might see things in rewatching it that I do not like that I did not notice before. It wouldn't be the first time that has happened.

Chase, did you know that Yuji's girlfriend from the first two episodes was TimePink's actress? Also, the Dragon Orphenoch is Zero in Garo.
