I didn’t dislike him, I just really had no feelings towards him whatsoever.

Oh come on, try to feel the angst for Ryou... Life is already harsh to him and you should give this man a hug. He didn't want to become a Rider in the first place and his life went so bad since then. Don't you remember during the time where Gills had a very dangerous side effect for decaying Ryou's body? Thankfully, the OoD minimized the effect to him short after until his apparent death. Well, that side effect went away after Mana revived back Ryou, though

On the other side, Agito is particularly a good series. I agree that it has much better pacing than Kuuga but can't be nowhere as good as Kuuga. Both Shoichi and Hikawa tried to become Godai and Ichijo 2.0 but it went miserably. Still, because of this, they became an apparent comic relief and it actually works for a rather dark series, like Agito. Just look at the craziness of them by playing tennis with a frying pan!

It's surprising that you talked about Agito without even mentioning Hojo. He is basically a pretty jerkass character that should be spoken at least on one Agito's post, haha. While I'm sure not many people like him, I don't recall him as a bad guy. I still thought he is a good guy but with a rather cunning and stern personalities.

I don't really mind about those Kino since he also kicked the heroes to go serious, particularly after the Akatsuki's arc there. It would have been better if they gave more focus and development for him or introduce him earlier to give him more exposition. That being said, the most let down and the disappointing part of Agito is they didn't explain the villains properly. The real nature of Lords, the Overlords and even that Tetsuya man was explained rather subtly. I recommend you to check the external information and links about Agito for better understanding this series. I'm serious, Agito is actually a pretty confusing series if you don't have enough information beforehand.
