It's almost impossible to believe that, as they're jettisoning elements of Kiva for a novel, the thing they kept was Jiro Is A Creep In 1986. They got rid of the charming Henshin Device and the cute monster friends and the Weird Uncle Jiro stuff, but they kept the most problematic part of this entire series.

Huh.

Would... maybe would not have been the way I'd've gone!

If so, it was only by accident!

I could be wrong, but I feel like it was a part that didn't work great for me. (I certainly don't remember it fondly.) A lot of the Akatsuki-go stuff just didn't deliver for me, and the Spooky Man character wasn't anything I felt the show articulated well. I liked the ending, and I love most of the character arcs, but the plot they all existed in felt undercooked.
