And speaking of Agito, I just finished it.
Well, aside from Project G4, but I'll get to that when I feel like it.

It's so weird that 2 shows that had such upbeat main characters back to back in Kuuga and Agito would be followed by a show that would do all it can to break it's main character, and a main character that would be utterly broken from the start

Shouichi's smile is just so infectious that it's hard not to love him. Just the fact that he managed to get through to Houjou and Kino is impressive, but what really made him so wonderful was how well he bounced off Hikawa. Those two formed a duo that almost rivaled Eiji and Ankh for me.
The G3 crew as a whole was a wonderful part of the show, too. I do wish Omuro got more to do, though. He was goofy in a nice way, but his presence was nebulous most of the time. Ozawa seemed a bit too overbearing, I gotta say, though. She may be a genius, but sometimes she deserved to be smacked down a peg.

My only real gripe with the show was it's plot. It moved at a pace that made Zyuohger look intense, and it's twists were weak (Why does no one talk about the Akatsuki? Because the monster told them not to? Really?). However, things were kept interesting enough for me to want to keep going, mainly because Shouichi is just so damn lovable.
