I'm about halfway through Ryuki. Not hating it,..not crazy about it either. Unlike other series of Kamen Rider I've seen I don't have the, "Can't wait to get off work and see more episodes OMG what's going to happen next?!?!" feeling.

It doesn't suck or anything,...the 'mirror world' thing is a little hokey. I'm constantly wondering why one of them doesn't just shoot another one in the head instead of Henshining into mirror world and fighting.

..maybe there's just too many Kamen Riders. I don't feel like I really identify with any of them,..or something. I don't know, I can't articulate it really.

I think I'm just not rooting for any of them. Some of the costumes and fights and everything are cool, I'm just not really crazy about any of the characters I guess.

Kamen Rider v1, W, Amazons, Agito and Kuuga, ZO, J, Shin, First and Next, Black, Build..they kind of pulled me in right away and I was compelled to see where the story was going. With Ryuki I'm close to 30 episodes in and it really doesn't seem like the story is going anywhere. They just fight each other all the time and no one really dies and nothing really happens. Batman is angsty, Cobra is crazy, Ryuki wishes everyone would just get along, the lawyer kind of acts like a douche..over and over.

the lawyer actually might be the most interesting character.

It's the first Kamen Rider series I didn't just tear through as fast as possible. I've been watching v1 again actually instead of finishing Ryuki. But I'm almost done with that again too.

...Hongo is just a cool mofo.
