The problem with Kuuga isn't that it has "Slow parts" but that it's slow as a whole. For every increase in tension and excitement, it immediately comes to a stop and starts meandering for another chunk of episodes. Events that are supposed to be handled with gravitas aren't. Rising forms? He's just able to do it. Kuuga almost dies? Next episode reveals he's fine and already healing rapidly as soon as the intro ends (Aside from the first time, which was handled well). An interesting plot about Ichijou's family and his mother's collapsing? It's resolved by a fucking 2 sentence phone call.
From the 27 episodes I've seen, it just hasn't been very good. The story is nonexistant because the Grongi only speak Linto once every 3 episodes, so we can only follow the police's reactionary methods, rather than any form of advancement, only one plot line has been consistent without immediate resolution (Bat Grongi's escape), but it hasn't actually been picked up, only briefly mentioned now and then, the "Games" are confusing and make no sense (I will admit that it leads to interesting killing methods, but an interesting kill doesn't make an interesting villain), and any character beyond Ichijou and Godai are rather dull (Yes, I like a lot of the cast. But the staff at Pole Pole are comedic relief at best and filler at worst, the doctor's life outside the hospital has barely been explored, and the staff at the police department 90% of the time just inform Ichijou of the current situation so he can, in turn, tell Godai. The only members of the side cast that feels like characters are Satowanakawo, the scientist who neglects her son, and Godai's sister).
I'm wanting to like Kuuga, and I've been told that it is slow, so I'm assuming that it does pick up.
But the problems is that there are no "Slow parts" since that would imply there's a moment where the pacing increases...
