It's been a while already, BUT I finished Kuuga!
What can I say? It was a really cool show and honestly... if I would've had the chance to watch it as a child on TV, this would've been one of my favs, I guess.

First of all: Wow. Early Heisei Rider has a lot of blood. Ryuki already had some bloody scenes, but Kuuga? Phew. Not that it was a negative thing though. I thought it helped convey the seriousness of the situation. What I really like is how the show tells a serious, dark story without being to heavy atmosphere-wise (it was really refreshing, considering how depressed I was watching Gaim the last weeks). The cast is loveable, but I wish Sakurako and Jean would've had some more screentime, those two were awesome (also d'awww for the whole Disneyland thing at the end! I usually don't ship characters, but Jean and Hikari were just so cute). And Godai was such a great protagonist. Kudos to Odagiri Joe for portraying him so well, despite hating the genre back then.

The visuals were awesome, considering the low budget. The designs look really cool and Tominaga Kenji does a great job at suit-acting.
The forms were really interesting, too. It's really cool to have forms that differ so much in strength and use. You don't see that very often in Rider these days (the only thing that might be somewhat similiar is... OOO I guess?).

What really bugs me though is that the show didn't explain the actual goal of the Grongi. What's the Final Gegeru and what's the point of it?
I also still feel like there's more to know about the whole Daguva-stuff, but the show barely told us anything about it.

Overall, Kuuga was fun to watch, I really liked it


Btw., started Agito as well and watched the first 4 episodes. Looking good so far. Shouichi is such an adorable dork. Also yay for Teen-Naomi xD
