My reviews on things tend to be really shallow as i am very easy to please. My biggest complaint so far is that not once has the thought of Godai maybe taking 5 seconds to hang out with his Cop friend in a field somewhere and maybe try to figure out what the hell he is capable of while transformed. Every time he turns into Kuuga he turns a different color and it becomes a series of trial and error while getting his ass handed to him.

The positives - The monsters are vicious as hell! and the smoke that comes off Kuuga's foot after a rider kick. That is super bad ass.

I literally just finished this series...and I really didn't like it. The first ten or so episodes are pretty solid, Ichijou is one of my all time favourite characters (not just toku I mean ALL TIME), it was very well written and had some great villains.

It was after the first ten or so episodes where the series took a direction really not for me, the series got darker and darker and I just felt the series was much too grim for a toku show, I wasn't a big fan of the whole Grongi language business either. Plus I personally found the acting and action all pretty terrible as well.

There are some great moments dotted around those last forty or so episodes though, the fight with the Porcupine dude was great and the villains get some cool developments powerwise towards the end of the series but meh.
