Agito is like that as a whole. It's pretty much a mystery show which is quite interesting and one of the reasons the show works so well. It's based solely around the story and characters, all of which are tied into the mystery of what exactly happened with the Akatsuki. The more you watch the more you'll know.

It's one of if not the best Rider show I've ever seen, and it's definitely, definitely worth a full watch through.

I concur, it's one of my absolute favorites, with some of the best Riders ever.

I really need to work on Agito again...Mainly because I never bothered because I didn't have much interest in Kuuga.

OOO Wonderful: I didn't watch this movie before when I was watching OOO, so I decided to watch all the movies of the past shows I've watched that I didn't watch. This was one of my all time favorite Kamen Rider movies. It was really amazing, I just love Eiji, and the supporting cast so much because of how amazing they are. I love Burakawani form, that's freaking cool. My favorite scene was how all the Gatakiribi forms turned into all of the Combo forms was brilliant, I always thought he could do that. Also Eiji as Birth was great especially when he said Hina-Chan, Nice like Date normally would lol. I miss OOO lol, I might watch it again soon. I just love how Eiji beat out Gara by having his desire be overpowering, and just the message of the movie too. The name of this movie is perfect because OOO is Wonderful.

OOO Wonderful is like the only Rider film I have ever enjoyed.

Still the biggest problem for me is Asumu, I know people have gone on about the 'coming of age' story that Hibiki is "truly about" but there is no attempt to weave the a and b plots together as one cohesive unit. So while Hibiki is driving the main plot AND providing all the thrills, we have to cut away just as we're getting invested to Asumu over sleeping or getting hit in the face with a handbag. It's as frustrating as it is plain boring. Even when we cut away to Ibiki who is like the backup of the backup, he brings more than Asumu does.

I'm at the same place at you in the show and this is pretty much how I feel too. I want to like it more just because Hibiki and Ibuki are both great characters and I appreciate the different direction its going for, but everything else just isn't really working for me.

Yeah I find it really frustrating, because there seems to be extra effort put into Hibiki and Ibuki to make them memorable and genuinely great Riders but then they're trapped in a show which ironically doesn't seem interested in them at all. Because a fourteen year old boy, constantly pulling a strop, is really what we watch Kamen Rider for.

Hibiki 10.

Seeing the two Riders fight side by side was surprisingly underwhelming. If anything it only highlighted how impractical Hibiki's powers are. Luckily though, they are both wonderful characters, and like all the best Riders pull their weight just as much out of the suit, as they do in it. They just feel like two actors who really love doing what they're doing.

Their high energy is in stark contrast to Asumu though, who just pulls a tantrum every episode and adds nothing else. He didn't even get a story this week, he just cried while watching football games. He's such a miserable person I can't possibly imagine why he'd have any friends, I'd certainly hate to be around someone like that. So it's annoying I have to follow him in this show...

Kamen Rider Stronger 03

Can someone explain to me exactly why going through a Haunted House prepares you to become a Junior Ranger Black Satan goon? Is it because Stronger makes them all shit-scared and they need to be prepared for that? Because that's what I think.
And even in the era of Lawn Darts I doubt any parent would let their children go alone into a Haunted House ran by that poster-child for Molesters Anonymous in the black suit.

But I laugh at the 70's and digress.

Have to love the name of the monster this week to. Black Satan's Cyborg Scorpion Monster. And his secret weapon? An extending claw, because all Scorpions have telescopic extending claws. Ask a scientist!
And then we come to how this week's MotW wants to kill Tackle. By tying her to the roller coaster train tracks Dick Dastardly style (Ask your parents, kids) and having the car mow down her and the little girl with her. And not at the bottom of the first hill, nonono. At the bottom of the very last hill. Otherwise he and Jo wouldn't have time for their witty banter!

And I need Jo's witty banter.

The only thing better, the only thing, is Black Satan Goons deciding to go after Stronger in... Are you ready? Paddleboats! Because nothing in this world is as threatening as black suited bug-eyed goons in paddleboats. Ask anyone.
But no, it gets better still! Because Stronger, instead of using his electric powers to shock the water and blow them all up at once, leaps from boat to boat throwing them in the water one at a time.

And now we come to Tackle. Oh Tackle. I love you so. You appear, get kidnapped, break free, only to get curbstomped again once the real villain appears. But you looks great doing it. But is there one time she Henshin's and her mask isn't crooked?

I know it sounds like I'm down on this show, but I'm loving it. I've never both loved a Kamen Rider and laughed so hard at it at the same time.

I love me some classic 70's cheese. I do.
