Honestly, Kiriya was my smallest problem with the last bit of Hibiki. He was an annoying Inoue character, but hey, at least the actor is loveable enough.

Shuki was a problem. And what Inoue did to the rest of the old cast. Especially Akira and Hibiki.

I don't know if I should heed your advice and enjoy the 29 good episodes, or just power forward and (Possibly) regret doing so...

I mean... it is worth watching in the sense that it will make you cherish the first half more and makes you more knowledgeable about Kamen Rider, but it is pretty frustrating as an experience. The last few episodes put all the things great and unique about Hibiki, threw it in the trashcan and replaced it with stuff that felt like recycled Faiz mixed with prototype Kiva.

What sounds pretty cool in written form doesn't necessarily stay cool when it is played out.

Hey, at least they got that beautiful scene with the explosion behind the corner and the Shocker combatmen flying everywhere. That was hilarious, it took me ages to get my act together again. Admitted, it was the only entertaining thing about both movies.
The problem was... Most of the time they were just boring, but they turned almost insulting with the after credits scene in The Next. I had to get a cup of tea to calm down after that. And so far, only Decade has made me so mad that I needed to stop what I was doing and get some tea.
