Yeha, my problem with Kuuga is it did seem to slow down a lot in the middle. I found most of the character interactions to be very drawn out and boring, but they got over that after a few storyarcs, and anything with them learning about the Gourongi or Kuuga was really interesting.

Just watched Kabuto 11, and my overwhelming feeling is... Only Kagami would invite Tendou to a double date and not know all of the women were Worms.

Heh heh, that was pretty funny. I think that was the last episode I saw, or there abouts. Now I know where to pick up from once I get back to Kabuto.

Watch Agitio next. It's an indirect sequel to Kuuga.

Checked out Kiva's first episode. Don't think I'll watch it. It's certainly got cool stuff going on like the costume, but it's not my thing. Also that dragon castle is dumb. It's got little wings and little dangling feet. It's so silly. Overall it's just not to my liking. Nothing grabs me.

Think I'll try Blade next. Maybe I'll just check out a whole bunch of first episodes, or go back to Agito and see if a break has helped my problems with the show.

You make me sad. Then I love Wataru

SPLIT LIP · 04-26-2013, 05:04 PM

Wataru wasn't bad. He was funny when he was acting all allergic to air and shit, and his whole bit about how if he breathes air like humans he is a human and that's gross was kind of interesting. I didn't need to see him in the tub, though.

I don't think it was bad at all, just doesn't appeal to my interests is all.

The first episodes are generally weaker than later ones are. But if seeing Wataru in a tub is going to bother you, you should skip Kiva. As there's a lot more where that came from.

But, it's a good show, you'll be missing out if you never get to it. You should try it again after you've seen a couple other Riders, see what you think then.

Pretty much this. He even bathes with IXA's main user, Nago, at one point

Yeah, Castle Doran is weird, but you get used to it after a while. SPLIT LIP, if you ever do get to it...don't watch the King of the Demon World movie...just don't

Just finished up Ryuki (the series anyway). Damn, that was a hard hitting final episode. I know a lot of people say the ending was a bit of a cop out but I quite like it, it kind of seemed natural that it was going to end that way.

Overall I've REALLY enjoyed this show. There were a lot of great designs, fantastic characters and a pretty deep plot. There were elements I didn't care for, such as the ORE Journal guys and sometimes the Kanzaki plot got a bit difficult to follow, but neither was big enough a problem to hamper my overall enjoyment of the show.

Out of the shows I've seen so far I'd rank it above Decade, OOO and Wizard, but below W and Fourze.

Now to check out the movie, special and Agito crossover thingy!
