[Blade Raider]

I haven't posted much in thread due to this thread having few too many spoilers without tags than I like.

Eitherway, finished W (And all but one related movie.Current favorite Rider series) and Decade (Ugh! Only thing worse is Saban's Masked Rider) months ago and I'm currently watching on Kuuga and I'm in the 40's (42 or 43 I think).

It's very good in a very different way than W. This feels more like what people told me Kamen Rider was like back 6 or so years ago when I first tried Kabuto (Which had a good start at least). Kuuga excels at quiet character development and dark imagary (for a "kids" show at least). Really, I'd say this show is more closely related to Garo than Kamen Rider. One of the highlights of the show for me is that no one is useless, not even cops! This is ironic after seeing Decade where Kuuga was useless (Ugh! I said, Ugh!).

It's not without problems like all Kamen Riders series. The fights can be short to nonexistent some episodes. I don't mind it when the extented cast can carry a scene all on their own (Jean and Enokida subplot comes to mind). Also, because the Gurongi scenes are left untranslated, those scenes can drag on because I have only a tiny idea of what they're talking about. It does add a bit of mystery since I'm never far ahead of the heroes because the villains told me last episode, but I do wish those scenes just didn't happen as offten (though my opinion of that may change if the Gurongi subs are every completed).

I'd be done watching it by now, but Jetman's been disacting me with pretty colors. I plan to go back to Sentai after this for awhile. I'd really like to watch Agito next, but I can't find a complete enough set of subs right now. In which case I'm not sure what I'll watch next for Kamen Rider.

PS Funny that Agito is the only Heisei era I really wanna watch and the only one with incomplete subs.
