But yeah, you should. But don't take my praise as infallible testament. Like I said, OOO is not perfect in my opinion (then again I consider VERY few things perfect) and it, obviously, doesn't hit it's full stride right out of the gate. HOWEVER, it is a series that I felt started very strong and stayed above or at the level all the way through, so no "you only have to watch 3/5ths to get to the good part" here.

Also it manages to have a singing driver that doesn't sound ridiculous. Shabadoobie-shut-the-hell-up Wizard driver. I'll take "Ta-To-Ba, tatoba TaToBa!" over that anyday.

Yeah, I know not a lot of people like Wizard but it was my first Japanese Rider series and I had nothing to compare it too. It was loud, flashy and fun - there were obvious problems along the way, a lot of them, but it really swept me up into it all. I certainly enjoyed it more than Kuuga, which seems to have two bad arcs for every fantastic one.

Also, you're one of the few people where I agree with your opinion the majority of the time, so I take your recommendation as a pretty high appraisal.

What I thought was long and meandering only felt that way because it took a month to get through.
So 88 minutes, barely a movie's run time, was spread out over 4 weeks, which is why if felt a lot longer than it actually was.

Sometimes a show just works better when you can marathon it.

OOO is probably my personal favorite KR. It's not perfect, but nothing is. It has a nice start and gets really good early on, but this is all in my opinion.

Yeah there are some shows that just work better in marathons and others that work better in bursts. It's funny to find that out especially now we no longer are a slave to broadcasts minus the most current series.
