I know, but I'm with Matrix, there are times where it is legitimate. Personally, when I say "it get's better later" in Kiva's case, I by no means thought the beginning was horrible. Same with Wizard. I just don't think people should drop a 50 episode show 5 epiodes in, just because "it wasn't perfect" in 5 episodes, a show hasn't established everything yet, if you establish everything there, then you're going to have much less material to pad out a 50 episode series. I completely understand SPLIT LIP giving up on Kabuto, because he gave it a fair chance (he wtched up until the mid 20s I believe). In you case, I would say give Kiva a shot after you've perhaps gotan a few more Rider series under your belt (no pun intended).

Anyway, to be fair towards the two women in Kiva, they aren't just bit characters. They both remain important characters throughout the series.

Kiva's fighting style itself is rather bland. It wasn't going to set the world on fire because he just fights so...boringly. Even with his 5 other forms (Which, outside of his final, go painfully underutilized), he's just a boring fighter.

I think Haruto is ok, I just watched the episode where Infinity is introduced (I'M SO BEHIND!) And he had some very good moments there. When they said "people are going into comas" I thought of how people who get attacked by shadows in Persona 3 are found unconscious afterwards. Legion also kind of looked like Legion from Mass Effect, which I found funny. Beast Hyper's introduction was cool too, I'm liking Nitou more. The journey to catch up on Wizard continues!

Really? I like Kiva's fighting stance. I think perhaps one reaon why it's so bland is because, from what I understand, the Kiva suit is very heavy, isn't it?
