None are without their issues, but Ryuki is probably the best of the three. Although, Kiva is pretty damn awesome. Nevertheless, their issues are:


Ryuki - Reset button ending and they only had 10 riders.

555 - Last 10 episodes sucked and there was no ending.

Kiva - Time traveling plot that came out in the last 20 episodes took away from it.

I haven't seen Kiva but I feel pretty confident in saying it's Ryuki. It has its moments but I feel like, at least compared to Faiz, the Riders are pretty much meat of the show and not the drama.

I never found the time travel stuff to be that bad, to be honest.

Ryuki. As it deals with actual adults and has a lot if serious storylines.

I love Faiz because of the j-drama/angst. Not because I find it cool, but in an ironic way.

I think overall, faiz is the best despite all of the cons against it..
I kind of preferring the dualism between Kiba and Takumi, and the way conflict around them changing their perspective.
And yes the ending is a real sequel bait, but between those three (Faiz, Ryuuki, and Kiva) It definitely the lesser evil.

But on the topic which one have the least J drama, probably Ryuki.
It got too many things going through, too many riders to develop their story...

Kiva and Faiz is quite chock full of drama stuff all in all..

[Sentai]

Kiva would need a coherent story for it to count as drama. (I love Kiva but.. yea, that story got holes)

[Ridersen]

I would like to know what exactly is the definition for "j-drama" here

Those are the three series I couldn't finish. I watched more episodes of Kiva, but I think that was largely because Kivat is awesome.

Kivat is imho the best thing about Kiva. (Though not the only thing I like. The show had some more good points, but also some pretty bad ones)

The music in Kiva was enjoyable, too, and I liked the concept of basing things on classic monsters. As you say, there were definitely good points.

FWIW, my wife watched through the whole series; I just got the recap from her and swooped back in for the last bit.
