Decade was a timing issue, but also the complete end reworking. That one could have been so much better, the timing wasn't so much of an issue, as it was lack of really having the time to work out the better story paths. Though I'd argue the usage of Blade should be done a little more sparingly. There are some hanging plot threads from Blade's series that they've ignored a bit too much in that regard, but also need to address.

Wizard I have no real complaints about, I mean the entire concept was built around cracker jack rings and other toy emphasis in that regard, and in many ways was meant to kind of be a Kiva 2.0, but took time to find its footing.

*Shrug* Varies series to series. I prefer most self-contained to themselves, but even "filler" content usually has deeper meanings in it too in what it covers. Rider series are fun in that regard from an artistic standpoint of the show as art itself.

Zi-O I like because it sidesteps a lot of those issues by the innate nature of the storyline, so it's more fun and self-parody to itself in that regard, but also done in a respectful light hearted way.

I cannot think if any Rider show that is truly unwatchable, super sentai has those though.

Overall Zi-O has been far better then I first expected it to be, the head writer was my biggest worry.

Sougo took a bit of time to warm up but his clear manipulating ways is enjoyable, I would be surprised if he is actually shocked when Woz eventually betrays him, it is happening ! WE ALL KNOW IT !

Considering the massive jump in his combat abilities over the short amount of time he has had his powers as well makes me wonder if he has not had a few time travels on his own in secret to get stronger.
