[SPLIT LIP]

Also, Ixa wins the award for worst secondary rider ever. He is a TITANIC toolbox. He's like... you know when Americans who've clearly not ever sen anything Japanese THINK anime and Japanese shows are like? Where teh characters are one-track, needlessly stoic, and just spew generic pseudo-thematic horsebutt statements like "I will defeat you" or "I will take your life" without any clear motive or commitment? That's Ixa. Or "Nago" since I just mean modern day Ixa. It's a real treat to see a character SO woefully under-characterized, generic, insulting simplified and panderingly dramatic. He's Vegeta from Dragonzball P.

Kiva is... Kiva is my favourite worst series I've watched. It is, overall, dreck. It only continues to prove this fact with each episode. But the flare and Wataru's amusing activities keep me watching because I've not actually anything better to do at the moment.

EDIT: Further proof Ixa is a toolbox; while he's busy assaulting people for harmlessly playing music for their own enjoyment, the Spider Fangire almost killed another person. SWEET BRO THANKS FOR THINKING ABOUT WHAT YOU CAN DO FOR THE WORLD BY LETTING SOMEONE DIE SO YOU CAN BE A FASCIST PRICK.

Also, Spider Fangire is now my favourite character next to Kiva.
