What are you watching? (Kamen Rider Edition)

Hibiki 35: I have a lot of trouble remembering this show is Hibiki sometimes. I can't imagine the first half of the show ever doing a weird romance plot like this, although it was fairly enjoyable Inoue stuff. I nearly had a heart attack when that one Kaixa-esque dude (whose name I forget and I don't care to remember) was doing the Kaixa thing and creepily stalking people from behind walls. Don't do this to me again Inoue, I only think I can deal with Kaixa once.

Ryuki 41-44: You know Toujou is bad when you're cheering for Asaskura to win. Also, poor Imperer, at first I thought he would be annoying but his character was well handled story-wise. His death scene was well made.

Yeah, Imperor's death is rough. Not the most likable character, but he had by far the most pitiable death scene in the series.

Certainly one of the top tragic deaths in KR for sure. It blew me away.

I cheered for Asakura through the entire show. He is my favorite character as he is bat shit insane and owns up to it.

You woulda loved Image Comics circa '93.

Haven't watched Ryuki for awhile. I paused for some time on late 20s episode. You could say the series became a bit mediocre and dull during 20s episodes due to it's like "A Day in Limelight" episodes for each Riders. We only got the surviving 4 Riders there, well except Odin though. I might watch it again if time allows. As far as I remember though, Ryuki once again escalated during some times where Shinji acquired Survive Form. Anyway, the only Rider series that I haven't watched in any forms are Hibiki, Kiva and Decade. Can you guys give a piece of your mind about these three series?

Hibiki is great! Until it becomes just okay 30 episodes in.

Kiva's really messy in places but I think it's better than it's given credit for. Maybe not too much better, but certainly it's watchable.

Decade is super fun on an episode to episode basis, but if you want good arc-based storytelling it'll be disappointing.

I just finished Ryuki.

I'll come back when I'm ready to write an essay gushing over it.

I look forward to it! Especially what you thought about the ending.
