Man, I really understand why some people say modern series stink compared to old ones now. Or rather, GODDAMN WIZARD IS FUCKING TERRIBLE.

No kidding, there's literally not a single thing about that show worth watching. Beast is obnoxious, a terrible actor and just all around not the "show saving character" he was built up to be. He likes Mayo on everything HAHAHAHAHA stupid. (plus he's just... something about him makes him repulsive to look at, not to sound so horribly inhumanly cruel. He's not unattractive per-se, just I can't stand to look at him. Maybe it' how they dressed him) I'm sure the creator's thougth they were making this WONDERFULLY quirky character, but really he's just trying way the hell too hard.

Literally every character in this show is insufferable, either because they're a terrible actor or terribly written. (usually both) The fights are bland, the music is dull as dishwater, the suits... eh, Wizard flame is alright and Beast is okay, but literally every variation of either just stinks. And the Beast Driver is just silly. It's HUGE and just hangs open, plus it sounds even worse than the Wizard Driver. The plot is meandering nonsense when it's not cripplingly simple and the villains are utter rubbish. Wow Medusa, you're seriously busting the Moth guy's chops for not killing Wizard instantly? Funny, because Mothman managed to poison him, you managed to LEAVE HIM ALONE WHEN HE WAS AT HIS WEAKEST.

Lately I've been watching Ryuki, a bit of OOO, some of W with a friend and one of the Den-O movies. This all REALLY puts Wizard in perspective. There's literally nothing saving that show, and I'm surprised I didn't realise it earlier. I think the only reason I ever watched it period was because I wanted a new Rider series that was fresh and original instead of watching and old one I already knew about.

Can't wait for Gaimu.

Although I do like Wizard, Beast really is ridiculously overhyped. Not only is he not the show saving character he is hyped up to be, he also does absolutely nothing from the moment he is introduced.

It feels like they were forced to add a secondary Rider but didn't want to, so they instead just chose this guy to stand around in the background for like thirty episodes. It's a real shame as well because the way Beast's powers work and his backstory should make for an extremely interesting Rider but Beast is just another bit of scenery dressing like 90% of the cast in this show. Kuuga may have had a lot of problems but at least they gave everyone something to do.

I still stand by my love for Haruto, even if I too admit his upgrade forms kinda suck and I still really enjoy the action sequences. I also didn't know how much I cared about Phoenix until he was gone, Gremlin is pretty awesome though.

Really my biggest problem with the Phantom's is the costumes, personalities and gimmicks they give to the human forms are usually far more interesting than what they give to the Phantom side and that is just bad.

Still I like it more than what I've seen of W and Den-O overall, although I think OOO has pushed ahead from it for having such strong central characters - minus Ankh.

OOO 37, dunno whether it is a bromance between Date and Brotou or a romance either way another episode centred around Date, so another great episode. I hope this doesn't mean he's gonna die soon though and I don't want him to be evil either.

Also wouldn't he have a scar on the back of his head from where the bullet went in?

Also dat scene where Mezul rubbed Maki's cheek what the fuuuuuuck
