Well Agito has now come to an end. I entered this series not really enjoying it. It was slow, had shitty action, and some of the characters weren't that great. But as a fellow member said, I fell in love with it.

Agito is definitely one of the best of the series I've ever seen. To be quite honest, I'd say it's tied for the best Rider show ever, it being deadlocked against W. It as I said is a slow series, which at first can be off putting. But it slowly gets your hooked to where you decide to just marathon the rest of the show (I got hooked with the introduction of Aki). Once you're hooked, good luck getting unhooked. To be fair though, I think the slowness helps it. It is definitely a show based around the characters and story, and it's quite the long and deep story. It's a mystery, and a really good one at that. The action unfortunately didn't really get better to me though. Even when not watching it while watching Kabuto (which I herald as having the best action out there for KR), it doesn't do it for me. Only Project G4 got me into the fight scenes to where I was on the edge of my seats. Truly this is a show you watch for the story and not for the action, and that's the best way I'd sell Agito.

The evolution theme was handled really well, and is indeed like 555. But funny enough, the shows are the opposite of each other in a way. Both shows are about forces trying to oppress evolution, the difference being the roles are switched. Agito's villains wanted to stop evolution, but the riders wanted to embrace it. In 555 it's the opposite, the riders want to stop the evolution happening while the villains wish for it to happen. It's quite the interesting contrast, made even more interesting since I pretty much started Agito only a week after finishing 555.

In the end, Agito was a fantastic show. It's one of the best of the series and it's quickly became one of my favorites. I'm happy I saw it and would gladly watch it again at some point.

Another show down and lot more to go. I think I'll take a little detour into Hibiki land before FINALLY resuming my viewing of Kuuga.
