I blame Riderman, personally. As the prototype secondary Rider he kind of set the tone that most of them wold replicate.

Gatack wasn't an asshole either.

Though some just had misunderstandings in the beginning like Gills or had different motives like Garren or Chalice.

Garren had different motives and was going through some problems, yeah. Once he sorted them out, he was perfectly amicable. Chalice...really was kind of dick most of the time though. He had his reasons but still.

Forgot about Kagami.

But yeah, most of the secondary Riders mellow out eventually.

I assume this is temporary, since everybody says Kaixa is a douche, but so far (7 minutes in to episode 14), he's cool and I like him.

Man am I falling behind. Been such a busy last few days I haven't been able to watch anything save for the newest Gaim.

Just now starting on episode 4 of Faiz. Hopefully I'll have some down time while I'm out on Wednesday and can catch up on Faiz on my phone (love the Dramania app). Like seriously, I need to pull a Locke-speed marathon

Hell, I think I'm still back like..10 pages in this thread X_x

But we get the awesome theme song.

Oh and I see that Locke is basically done with W now, and since Split already brought it up, **** Episode 49 it is an abomination and it never happened! I am so sick of just about every season of Kamen Rider I've watched pulling the same crap at the end. But this is a rant I've had before so..yeah.

Anyways, back to Faiz. Will probably just finish episode 4 tonight, I work all day tomorrow. Wednesday I should be able to catch up to where you guys are and pump out some reviews hahahaha.

Episode 4 of Faiz

Nice continuation from the previous episode.

Hehe, Keitaro poked the dead orphenoc with a stick. I'd do the same thing lol.

I really liked the design of the spikey orphenoc. Yuka's design looked kinda cool too. And seeing her get revenge was somewhat bitter sweet.

It's a weird contrast between the monster of the week orphenocs and the ones that I presume will have a more major role like Yuji and Yuka. The former being your generic punks snd thugs mostly so far and the latter being incredibly sympathetic. It's really nice having villains you csn genuinely feel for and get.

More Sister, I assume that's what she's called, is always nice.

Was trippy seeing an orphenoc use the driver snd actually henshin with it. Can't say I've seen that in any other season. And..dafuq was with the bike? Ooooook.

So it looks like Keitaros is tagging along rather than just being a minor weekly character like a gate. I guess he's gonna be our secondary rider down the road.

Nice to see Takumi make the decision to accept his role as Faiz. The reluctant hero bit was s decent start but I'm glad the show knew when to drop it.

Still not a lot of yhe overarching plot hinted at, but there are little bits hete and there. I assumr once they get to Tokyo thing will get rolling s bit.

No jobs added over the weekend, so all I could do was bum around like a bum. Got a two hour shift from work though, where I'm supposed to be grateful even though they know they're being fuckers.

The Orphenoch contrasts are kinda funny because 99% of them are just fodder, completely superfluous to the plot, they just give Takumi something to fight. But then the three that last more than three episodes end up growing into more fleshed characters than any of the heroes, lol.

And by the way the plot does start to move in a couple of episodes but then sorta doesn't. There's this scene, where Yuji demands answers and the reply he gets is 'we all cry when we're born, it's natural, but when we die we have a CHOICE' or some vaguely empty lol2deep4u shit and I immediately went 'oh it's gonna be one of THOSE shows'.

Agito 50- I knew that was coming for Risa, and I feel really sad for Ryou again because they seemed to hit it off really really well. I loved how they did the scene with Kana wanting to jump off like Shouichi's sister and that Shouichi and Real Shouichi saved her that scene was perfect. Hojo has stayed consistent in this series and is a douche. I loved Hikawa and Shouichi's scene and Hikawa and Ozawa's scene. I love how she called him the Ultimate Hero. Shouichi's last words of the episodes why he'll fight are amazing. One more episode and the movie then I finish Agito.

Okay, last episode of W. It's been a crazy ride and I'm glad the movies don't mean I have to get off yet. Could someone explain the post W movie order for me, please?

As a concept, I kinda liked this. W is a toku show, unlike any other. Toku revels in black and white, it likes the idea that a global threats can be personified by a single person that once killed, everything will automatically be okay. That isn't the case with the grey W.

They crushed Museum, forced Foundation X to pull the funding and STILL the battle continues, the fight shouldn't end when one person is defeated, that isn't how it works in any believable world. This is one thing I appreciate about W more than anything else.

Similarly, despite being criminally under utilized, every moment Ryu is on screen, he shows more complex development than any other character. Seeing him fight FOR Fuuto, after he was introduced saying how much he hated the place, it's just kinda incredible. He's the best main Rider that never was. My SHF Trial is literally on the way to me, shame the SHF base form sucks.

There are some aspects I was less pleased with. Like, I love that Sho is still fighting Dopants as Kamen Rider Joker, for example, but I think the way this episode personified grief was well...not good. Everyone experiences grief differently, but I still don't think after a YEAR Sho would still be doing the stuff he was doing here. And I say that from personal experience.

Plus Phillip's return. FRUSTRATION. His death was poorly realised, so it doesn't really ruin anything but the fact he comes back in like the last minute of the last episode makes it feel especially pointless and tacked on. They may as well have not bothered. They certainly didn't bother to really properly explain it.

Also, if they hadn't have bothered, then we wouldn't have to have suffered through the soppy and downright laughable heaven scene with Sonozaki's - seriously Shroud why do you still look like that while everyone else has gone back to normal? - and more vaguely incestuous moments between Wakana and Phillip. Gah.

Agito 51 (Final Episode)- That was an amazing final episode, this was an absolutely perfect end to a wonderful series. I love how Hikawa came back and fought as G3-X showing the power of the Human Spirit. Then Ryou came back saying I'm Immortal after washing up kind of like how Shouichi did earlier was amazing too. G3-X's and Exceed Gills team up finish was awesome too. Shouichi transforming into Shining Agito and kicking ass both times was amazing. Shouichi is really like King from Kyoryuger in a sense to me, crazy awesome in so many freaking ways. Hikawa and Kouno's ending was great, same for Ozawa's and Hojo's too. I love the G5 unit too. I love just randomly Ryou gets a puppy but that fits for him that he just goes with the flow and has a cute puppy now. =) The Man of Darkness getting destroyed by Shining Agito's Flying Rider Kick was really cool, and I liked his final scene with true Shouichi too. Shouichi getting his own Restaurant Agito was perfect I'm sure true Shouichi gave his money to Shouichi or something like that so he could open the restaurant. Honestly from start to finish this was a giant long story that fit perfectly no really weird tangents or anything, just an amazing story. Quite honestly I think Agito is my favorite Kamen Rider series now well it's definitely up there with OOO, Faiz, Blade, X, and Kuuga.

Honestly the 3 Riders of this series are some of my favorites of all time.
