Back tracking a bit to calling Den-O the best mix of comedy and drama.
How do you figure that? Yes, it has some dramatic story lines, but their role in the big picture of things are nigh and they all seem to pop up with as little warning like Kai. That, and while It does establish the Airi/Yuuto relationship, it's brought down by meshing in pointless melodrama and plot twists. That, and the relationship is stupid and takes up too much time and an entire movie.

I don't think he ever called it the best, just a good mix of drama and comedy.

[Den-O]

Actually I would call it the best mix In my personal opinion at least.

Also the Yuuto/Airi relationship is one of the best subplots in the series.

My thoughts on episode 2 of Den-O:

-That red guy is a jerk.
-HOLY SHIT THAT MONSTER JUST HORRIBLY MURDERED AN INNOCENT WOMAN.
-That red guy is funny.
-Den-O's kinda really pathetic.
-I wonder how they got the dog to pee on him.
-I'm not sure I understand the monsters' plans. They change the past to change the future, and travel there through memories? And they cause destruction in the present by causig in the past, which is somehow the... what? How does knocking out a building's supports in the past cause it to crumble in the present? Wouldn't that make the building crumble in the past and just fade away in the present? Time travel does not work that way!

This series is fun, but I don't know if it's my thing. The time travel doesn't seem very well done, and I'm not a fan of the Den-O suit.

Back to the Future.

On the Kabuto side of things: Have I missed an ep? Drake has shown up and I still haven't seen Gattack. I thought Gattack was the secondary rider this series?

The episode of Power Rangers where they went back to the Old West.

Time travel done awesomely more like it.

I'm not asking for super-realism. I'm asking for some kind of logic.

Also, does everyone in Kabuto make a point of doing really dumb, dramatically slow hand gestures?

No. Tendou does epic, really slow, hand gestures.

Pointing skyward in a doofy manner does not count as epic, especially since he only does it because of that nonsense about him "walking the path to heaven and being ruler of all" or something.

I'm utterly astonished at how completely unlikable they made Kabuto. I thought the idea was to make us want to root for the main guy, not hate him so much we want to see him get hit by a truck. Not that it would do much since he's written like an over-powered fanfiction character.
