You wanna fight? Cause that's how you start a fight.

I didn't get that vibe from either show, except for maybe a couple instances where the monsters kill people in interesting ways. Never heard anyone recommend either show based on that; in fact I don't see people really recommending them at all. Honestly I don't think any series (that I've seen) has gotten into the dark/violent territory.

In my opinion, no, but I get the feeling we don't really have similar tastes.

Kuuga isn't that dark, actually. I mean, yeah, there is lots of death, but it's just statistics. A news reporter will go "Unidentified Lifeform 30 has killed 129 people today." And that's it. We don't see how destructive they are. We're just told how many people they kill from a reporter or police radio (Sometimes we'll see them get one or two kills, but even then, it's not that violent).

I'm honestly baffled to Kuuga's overwhelming approval...

Well, if we're going by statistics, then Kuuga contains over 2000 confirmed deaths. Agreed on the violence part.

You mean the 20 episodes in the middle where absolutely nothing plot related happens at all? In the same show where characters just disappear for episodes at a time? I didn't know this show was popular, and I don't understand it, but YMMV.

Agito's only real saving grace are the characters (Namely Gills, G3, and Another Agito), and the 15 or so episodes I mentioned earlier. The designs are very nice, though.
