That means little.

The problem with Agito is, again, the guise of quality is there. There's still something for people to latch onto and think it's good.

But the story? God did it. The characters? Cutouts. The designs? Actually the designs were fucking awesome.

It still holds up as one of my all-time favorites after two full watches and having seen almost every other series in the franchise start to finish. Honestly, the only two Rider shows I like more are Black and the good part of Hibiki.

Good for you.

I don't.

And there's a reason why nobody talks about Faiz. It's a show that ends by burning off any goodwill it may have created and then practically kicking the viewer in the happy-sack on the way out.

So? That doesn't change my arguement. It merely ENFORCES it.

If Faiz left that much of a sour taste, it's no surprised people swarmed Agito. Same reason people think Transformers Energon starts off good. It doesn't, but most people maintain that, simply because a great number of them disliked Armada.

That's one hell of an evactation. Aside from the fireball itself, the explosion and fallout area would be HUGE. Pretty much all the visible land in that shot would've had SOME damage done at the apex of that explosion.
