Well that's good to know. It's just the mystery stops being engaging when it's drawn out so long.

Again, twenty episodes and it feels like barely a thing has happened. It's like Kabuto all over again, except Agito doesn't make me want to punch my screen.

Agito (And Kuuga, Ryuki, Faiz, and maybe Blade) is nothing like the Kamen Rider of today. Today it's about flashy effects and selling toys, but early Heisei was more about making a good story with good characters and good beat 'em up action. They stayed on the side of drama and mystery. Especially Kuuga and Agito.

Well, this is okay drama, and the beat 'em up action... kinda stinks to be honest.

I think the show is a bit too serious. So serious the silliness of Kamen Rider stands out a bit too much. Surfing his bike, a monster with a jellyfish on his head, pulling swords and shit out of his belt. These things contrast a bit too harshly against the melodrama, snail's pace plot and the fairly flat selection of characters.

The ''flashy effects'' and ''toy selling'' of modern series don't bother me as long as the story is well paced. I'm almost halfway through Agito and I still don't know a lot nor has a lot actually happened.

Why do I even bother...

Don't blame me. Blame whoever taught her how to act.
