Also, to answer Matrixbeast's question, our sun is named "the Sun." When you refer to it as "the Sun," "sun" should be capitalized. In other words, I can continue my crusade to rename the Sun "Solaris" (or maybe "Daggeron" to spice things up a bit).

If you really wanna get technical our sun's name is Sol :P

And that might be the problem. I think I'll finish the series out, I'll try and buy some Figuarts. But.. Wizard just won't the same place in my heart that Fourze does.

Well, I'm pretty much where Sentai is in Wizard, actually. I'm having the same problems too. The whole deal with Phoenix should have been panned out much more, the powerups lack imagination, and there just isn't much appeal to keep burning through episodes. Beast is totally underused too.
I'd probably be a lot angrier if I weren't watching Wizard as brain bleach after finishing Evangelion.

My absolute Hope is that Infinity is better thought out. I like the design, but we'll see.

With you on Eva though. End of Eva messed me up for a long time afterward.

I agree on Infinity. The design is nice but if it's as poorly done as All Dragon then the show really doesn't have much more going for it. Beast also has potential, but I really can't bring myself to care about any of the characters yet.

And Eva's ending was about as satisfying as a clip show. I'm in line with Spike Spencer.

This is why people shouldn't watch Evangelion

Anyway, at this point, I really don't have much hope for Infinity. It'll have an interesting first outing and then just stagnate like all his other powers.

Not checked out either of those yet, but I feel parts of Ryuki have that "filmed on a camcorder" look that the first Garo series has. Which works quite well sometimes since it makes things feel somewhat claustrophobic.

Did you watch the movie End of Evangelion or the idiotic campy ending the anime got? Cause they are so much different. So much.

I really do not like the Dragon Timer. Even if I collected Roleplay DX Toys I wouldn't buy that. There were so much better ways (So much better, that's a real education there) to combine all of the Dragon peices into one Rider Form than a Kitchen Timer you Shake Hands with. Do we know exactly yet how he becomes Infinity? I hope it's a ring and not something idiotic like this.

There is a rumor that the Infinity Ring is made from Haruto's tears after he could not save a Gate.

Personally, I think All Dragon would have been better if it had been Haruto accessing all of his Dragon forms simultaneously (like what he usually does with the Drago Timer) instead of an alternate version of the Special Rush Ring.

Also, "Sol" is the Latin name for the Sun typically used in sci-fi to distinguish our sun from other suns.

I saw that coming. Something about the show said "Sooner or later he's not going to be able to save a Gate"

Personally, I like Wizard more than Fourze. Neither one is one of my top shows of all time, but on the whole I like Wizard more of the two. A lot of that boils down to the story - it feels like Wizard's pacing is much better. The story isn't moving fast, but it feels like it is still moving. Fourze just straight up stopped for about the middle third of the series, leading to a really rushed final 10-12 episodes. Wizard feels much better in this regard.

It also helps that Wizard's costume isn't terrible and he doesn't have those lame switch weapons.
