[SPLIT LIP]

I mean, I'm still watching it, but it's getting kind of... bad. Aside from being an embarrassing attempt at writing a villain, Gai is a TERRIBLE actor. I mean, there's a few really bad actors in this, but this is, like, guest actor on Power Rangers bad. He can't even say "huh?" naturally. So far it's a lot of shuffling because Ren can't walk and Ryuki violently shakes him. (is this just how Japan thinks helping injured people works? By thrashing them and probably hurting them more? I notice this a lot in Kamen Rider, I think they did it to a dog once, too)

The problem with Ryuki is that there's a lot of little things that are bad, but they're easily overshadowed by the good elements so you don't even notice them. But as I stare at the screen with eyes glazing over I notice how bland the music is, how annoying the production values are, how that useless girl is useless and always talks like she bit the inside of her cheek... without the distractions of great characters and a cool plot I'm realising how... not well-made this show is. It's upsetting.

Again, Raia is cool, but... he isn't doing anything. Nobody just punches Gai while he's mugging? Did they just forget they're human beings with the ability to do anything at all outside their costumes?
