3) Gimmick integration. yeah, its a toy commercial - but it seemed to flow with the story alot more than Ghost or Drive or Wizard (had ok moments but died quickly)

4) Pacing. this might be #1. Shit happened, and there was a constant energy level with this show. Wizard in particular was sooooooooo fucking boring to me, Drive at times (liked it overall), and Ghost are just so slow, mainly because the plot left so many unanswered questions)

5) Takatora Kureshima. Do I need to say anything more? He's the hero we deserve.

Yes, never forget the glory that is Metal Yoshida, a.k.a. Oren!!!!

Oren was one of the best parts in Gaim but the true star was Baron aka Kaito Kumon

I felt Kaito was actually one of the weakest points
"Power power power power power"
*Goes on losing streak*
*Starts reminiscing with Mai*
From there, I thought Kaito would continue his growth, but...No. He just reverts back to episode 1 Kaito with an even larger chip on his shoulder.

A lot of people have brought up the characters on Gaim as one of it's strongest points, and while I do sorta agree, it's also one of the things I dislike about the show. Namely that the cast is so large, and the show never seemed to know what to do with them. It always bugged me that they had a ton of interesting characters just kinda pushed to the side instead of actually using them for something.
Here, take Bravo, for example, he was introduced as a credible threat to everyone, then after a few episodes was just kinda pushed aside unless they brought him back for a comedy bit with Gridon, or there was a big team up between all the riders.
And don't even get me started on Marika...

I remember the big thing about Bravo early on when he was introduced was that he had military experience, giving him a potiental leg up compared to other riders.

Beast had a more interesting storyline than wizard

And that right there sums the problem I have with most of Gaim's characters. They all give the illusion of development, but with a couple exceptions, most of them, including poor Kouta, just sort of stay right where they were at the start.

At least with Micchi his character arc is intentionally a boomerang.

The B-team of Bravo, Gridon and Knuckle in the back half of the show is the big exception, since they're all discernibly different (and way more badass!) people by the end.

Kouta wishes he were as cool as Zack.

My biggest complaint about KRG was the inclusion of Oren. My second biggest complaint about KRG was the fact that nobody murdered Oren. My third biggest complaint about KRG was what Oren did to Hideyasu Jonouchi. My fourth biggest complaint about KRG was what that no one murdered Hideyasu Jonouchi after what Oren did to him.

I can see a bit of hatred towards Oren

By the end of the series, Oren and Zack were the only characters worth rooting for anymore
