Oddly the 1st half of Gaim was more popular than the second half. Also, Wizard did pretty darn well for Bandai on the product side. The ratings were terrible but the toys sold well.

Wizard may have been a bland story, but it had tons of style in the design and everything. I hope they do some insane Complete Edition Wizard Ring set some day. I would totally buy that.

Also I'm holding out for reviews of the Ninninger mecha. I'm a sucker for black-based paint schemes with the other colors on top. Kyoryuger & ToQger were both bright color-based. The complexity of the whole 'rider' gimmick is also interesting. There's a lot of parts with 3 modes so far, like the Dragon (stand-alone, arm, rider). Overall it has grabbed my interest.
I'm slightly bummed that the shoulder paper lanterns on Shurikenjin aren't bigger or more prominent. I liked that part of the design of the single suit image we've seen so far. Well.. that and they should've called it NinninJin for the silliness of it all
