Somehow, miraculous, I managed to get through it without chewing my own face off.

Then comes the character introductions of Natsumi and Tsukasa. They both need acting lessons. They're on par with early Fourze Yuuki in how bad their line delivery is.
Then comes the panic, attack, mass world travelling, and first transformation.
Watching him transform into Kabuto, Faiz, and Hibiki just made me wish I was watching one of their shows.

Did I mention I fucking hate amnesia as a story telling device? Because I do. It's fucking stupid. It pads out time with snippets of "Why do I know this? How did I know to do that?" with the intention of coming up with an answer later on. It doesn't add to the mystique of a character, it doesn't compel me to want to continue. It's a cliche story device that, when used poorly (Oh, and it almost ALWAYS is), is used to pad out the length of a work and intentionally confuse viewers on actions and intentions, often with poor resolution because it's a shoehorned in element, rather than the story created to accommodate it.

So Decade episode one.
I don't think I can do this.

Just hug Luna.

And I've seen Amnesia used well.

So...Climax Deka...

I thought it was ok. I wish that Ryotarou and Wataru interacted more. I don't understand why all of the sudden Ryotarou's Imagin and Hana are detectives. I thought it was kind of cool how The Owner has his own DenGasher. The rookie detective was ok, kind of a wimp. I liked how he managed to arrest that guy in the end. Negataros...eh...it kind of bothered me how he kept saying "my evil organization! My evil organization!" His design was cool, but I don't feel then need to get his Figuart, or Nega Den-O's Figuart. Yuuto and Deneb had some pretty good moments. I wonder how he got into Negataros' inner circle. They also didn't really explain why some Fangire were working with some of the Imagin, also how did Ryotarou find out about the Fangire? Also, one thing that kind of bothered me was the double Rider Kick. They bothered to do the whole Wake Up thing with Kiva, and they bothered to put in the "Charge and Up" and the awesome standby music for Climax Form's Rider Kick, yet didn't bother to get the version of the suit with the Den-Kamens on the leg. This actualy bothers me with a lot of Rider movies, it seems like their abilities are lessened especially during Rider Kicks since a lot of times they'll just do a generic Rider Kick. The closest time I've ever seen a Rider in a cameo use some of their powers was Hibiki in Letms Go All Kamen Riders. Also...I really want a Figuart of normal Kiva and his bike. I really like his bike.
