I think Agito is my next series after Kuuga. If nothing else, I have to see Gills.

BTW, Den-O 7: I think that was my least favourite episode. Roaming Gnome is way too pitiful, and his voice is really starting to grate. Also that fight made no sense. Den-O's sword already has crazy range! I mean, the blade freaking detaches and hits an enemy from a distance! Why is he just swinging it around like a doofus?

But God I love the turtle and the fights he and red guy get into. But if he's a turtle, what is red guy?

Peach, he's a peach

That's what I call gingers with hairy butts.

Maybe he really is the red guy?

He's based on an oni and a peach. Hence the peach halves that are the visor of the Den-O Sword Form helmet. And when he goes into Climax Form the halves 'peel' back to reveal a brighter colored visor underneath. He's also kinda referencing the Japanese folk lore hero Momotaro who was born from a peach to fight oni.

That is weird and confusing.

Kinda makes me not like the Den-O helmet as much anymore. (BTW Rod form is dumb looking and the weiner jokes get old pretty fast)

EDIT: And since I just finished episode ten, I'll say that I like this new Imagidude. Axe form is cool but weird, though, as it's basically just sword form with the armour backwards.

Seeing as how the two comedy episodes of the series felt really forced (the Hajime twin), it is just serious.

I'm putting it in the "takes itself too seriously" category. Some of the things that should have been more light (the relationship between Hajime and Amane, Tachibana and Sayoko's friendship, that one stupid motorcycle episode and the taiyaki rubbish) all had a very serious and rather stale feeling to them. It was hard to associate with some of the characters simply because of how stone cold they were.

Yeah. Den-O's armor stays the same, just rearranges itself per form.

I guess that's a fair enough assessment.
Still, it was rather enjoyable, it's just humorless, unfortunately.
