I hear this show gets really good later, but man, I hope later comes soon.

Don't worry. I literally felt the exact way you are when I watched it. It definitely improves.

Blade is still one of the more cleaner Rider designs.

Everybody is wildly out of character, the plot is really dull, and the action isn't good enough to bother sitting through it for. Just skip it. If not you're just going to come in here and tell us we were all right.

So I've gathered, but I would feel weird if I went and skipped it altogether. I've very completist about series I watch

Besides, I have no doubt that you're all right. But I want to get in on the hate for it too

Oh! BTW, does anyone know what the name of that awesome fight song in Blade is? I've heard it in a couple of YouTube vids but no one lists the name.

Yeah, that's one of the things I really hate about the All-Rider movies. Vangelus called them something like "Ghost Riders" on the HJU podcast. They're basically empty suits that are devoid of any real trace of the original Rider's personality. Sure, some of the moves are there and Faiz usually does his wrist flick thing, but they don't talk and they don't really interact, they just fight silently. It really makes it hard to believe that they're actually the real characters and not just empty suits.

Just got up to the first appearance of Doctor Maki.

My first impression is that I can now understand why Switchblade (at least I think it was Switchblade

) can't seem him as a credible threat. The doll thing is a little....ridiculous.

That being said, I am eager to know more about him now.

I finished OOO, and loved it. But ran out of ideas for what to watch next. Hibiki did nothing for me, Ryuki was just odd. And Kabuto was good.. but confusing. I think I'll try Kabuto Ep 2, or rewatch Decade.

Why not watch Kuuga and Agito, they're the best Heisei series imo.
