[Dr Kain]

Well we just finished the last four episodes of Fourze and wow, what a great series the show turned out to be. The series as a whole had a rough start for me, but after two episodes, I was hooked. The monster designs were excellent, especially those belonging to Gemini, Virgo, and Sagittarius. The characters were well done, ableit not as developed as I would have liked. I really think Daimonji and Miu should have left the show after they graduated because their stories were finished and they really didn't do too much afterwards, but other than that, I have no complaints on the main cast. My biggest complaint though would be the lack of development on the villains side. For such strong and intimidating villains, they didn't do anything to make us care for them at all. I think my other complaint was there was no danger of any of the students actually dying, just getting injured. I would have liked to have seen what would have happened had one of the students actually died from using a Zodiart Switch.

Nevertheless, unlike the other show that began airing during Fourze's run, at least the Zodiarts in general felt like an actual threat. I think my final complaint is that it was just predictable. I guessed who everyone was episodes before they even revealed themselves. The only one that took me by surprise was Tachibana's identity, but other than that, I could tell you who was whom when it came to the main Horoscopes. Nevertheless, the story of the show as extremely well done, the action was fantastic to watch, the switches actually played their gimmicks well and there were some really cool combos done throughout the show (albeit spread out at times). And finally, the ending was great. Except for ignoring those that were "sent" into the Dark Nebula subplot that seemed to be forgotten after Virgo revealed where they really were, I have no complaints. In fact, it is hard to believe Toei has managed to pull off three Rider shows in a row without an ending that feels lackluster or half-assed.

With that said, I look forward to see what they can pull off in Wizard, and I look forward to more cameos from Foundation X because they did not have enough screen time in Fourze (in fact, not including the movie, their one shot cameo seemed forced in and pointless since nothing became of it).

With that said, "SPACE IS AWESOME!!"

Wait, maybe it's "IT'S SPACE TIIIIIIIIME!!"

And I haven't watched the finale yet but love spoiling myself, so yay. :P Waiting on TVN as always... But I didn't think Wizard would show up somewhere.

I hate to say this, but I spent the three weeks watching all of OOO and Fourze from Nihon, but the final episode of Fourze was from Overtime. Sadly though, just by Overtime's subs from the final episode, I wished I had watched their releases from beginning to end because their translations seemed more accurate (like Hatch instead of Hutch when the freaking sign said HATCH). My only problem would be having to convert 96 episodes from MKV to MP4 since it takes like 40 minutes an episode.

For Wizard though, I'll be doing OT's.
