This is pretty much how I feel. Wizard was my first proper Japanese Rider series, so it has a special place in my heart. Haruto is probably my favourite Rider minus Eiji. The action is great. Flame Styles and Flame Dragon at least are both really cool forms. The story, world, concepts, mythos etc are cool but it's just let me down so consistently for these last few months that it's getting harder and harder to jump to Wizard's defence.

The haters who hate the series because it's the cool thing to do can go suck a **** for all I care, but those who are giving genuine critiques, like how focusing on a bit of scenery dressing and pretending it is now a character is shit, I actually can't argue with because, yes it is shit.
