I love Blade, easily my number 1 Kamen Rider series and one of the few that I would never turn down rewatching, but it's special effects are rather lacking. While the cinematography and action are done well, the effects that accompany them feel very weak, even considering it's time. The effects on things like Mach and Tornado are just straight bad, while Garren's burning drop needs a lot of touching up (Though that one might just have been the TV rip footage I'm used to seeing).

Personally, I felt KR ramped up the special effects around Kabuto, where energy attacks were more than just blue/green colored blobs, speed effects were done far more effectively, and CG enhancements were a lot less conspicuous.

Not every effect is great, but as a whole, I love them, especially the ones done at night. Upon thinking about it, I did forget to talk about the bad CGI moments. Oops, but then, it's so hard to cover every aspect of a TV series. I even went back and added in a few things I forgot to include in my original script (Nozomi and the designs of the suits/Undead).
