And no, Kiva is not a better show than I give it credit for. It's a sloppily plotted, hole-filled mess with a lame protagonist, weak secondary Rider, and incredibly blatant and intrusive toy placements.

WEAK?! ixa has got to be one of the best second riders idea wise, suit wise he's kinda down the middle for me. but i mean the idea for a robocop to kill fangires? genius. if u mean characters, then i agree with jirou and nago, never liked them. but otoya has got to be on of the best secondaries ive ever seen.

I meant in terms of character and I specifically meant Nago. The writers clearly had no idea what his character was going to be like and his personality fluctuated wildly over the course of the show. Jiro and the other two Arms Monsters were just really obvious attempts to replicate the popularity of the Taros. Otoya is the only aspect of Kiva that is an unqualified success.

I can't find episode 1 of Kiva anywhere, so I watched the first episode of (sorry Matrix) Decade instead. It was ok, I don't get why Wataru is saying "you must destroy all the riders" and I also don't get how Natstumi just o happened to find the Decadriver just laying in a pile of rubble. Gosh...I'm starting to sound like Matrix now. Ok there were some good parts though. The fight scenes were good, and yeah. There's not much to talk about since it's just the first episode. I prefer the way that the OOOs Let's Go! Movie did it, in that te different riders were from the past rather than parallel dimensions.

EDIT: oh no...what did I start? Guys, I just wanted to know which one to watch first.

TVNihon should have Kiva in a big batch torrent with like the first 15 or so episodes grouped together.

If you're still looking for Kiva, I know there's this one site called GoodDrama, which hosts a lot of J-Drama streams, that has a couple of subbed Kamen Rider series available, probably including Kiva.

I forgot where I left off with OOO.. so I started rewatching OOO

. Mostly to help with my fanfic. Next time I need to choose a Rider with less forms. Like Fourze or something!

I'm on episode 13 of Ryuki now and I'm wondering; is Shinji gonna get a better ride than what he has now? I mean, dude rides a scooter! Godai (Kuuga) had a nice ride, Shouichi (Agito) and Ryo (Gills) had nice rides, Ren (Knight) has a nice ride but Shinji... well.

Nope. Well, he does but just for a finisher. With their powers being based in the mirror world it makes sense that they have boring bikes.
