That's kinda how I felt. The worst part of OOO for me was that, until Maki became a villain, I never felt it was going anywhere, they were never making any progress. It seemed like for every medal Eiji took from a Greeed, he lost one (or worse, two). That status quo rarely changed.
Contrasting to Kuuga and W, where after each storyarc there was one less Grongi or Dopant to worry about, they were progressing towards an end goal. But I still liked OOO.

But Fourze? So far I really enjoy it. I'm on 10, I think? I like the gang, though each one seems to have set aside their differences pretty quickly after having their arc and joining the club. Except for Kengo, he's still a bit of a jerk. But since the locker's gone missing and he's trapped alone on teh moon, I'm guessing he'll be a little bit friendlier to everyone once they band together to save him.

Also, the Scorpio Zodiart is freaking awesome! I need a Figuart of the main Zodiarts. Also the Unicorn one was pretty cool too.

The lack of character growth is something that's been lacking since Double, so I'm not going to harp on the characters becoming buddy-buddy 5 minutes after they get over their problems.

I agree with the lack of progress for OOO. As much as I loved the series (It had a great start and end), Eiji didn't change a bit throughout the course of the series and the middle of the series, until Maki became a villain and Ankh's whole story arc, just felt like padding.

Its funny because nothing changes between Kengo and the rest of the gang for another... thirteen or so episodes...

Huh, that's interesting. And not necessarily a bad thing.

From my perspective. Totally is, because he goes through various tasking tasks that attempt to force him to get along with the KRC, but alas his character flaw remains true. It gets annoying.

Honestly, I feel that the show suffers from having too large of a cast and in X episode I feel that Y and Z should have left. There is no reason for them to be there. Especially since Y lost its title and Z is pretty useless except when it uses the ABC and even then J pretty much proved that it can use ABC very well on its own.

It really just irks me that lately Kamen Rider has an issue with letting a cast member go. Like in OOO when D was supposed to die, and yet they through a hat off and said "Oh, by the way, I'm totally fine minus the whole plot point in my body... Yeah I should probably not be here for a handful of episodes, because of because."

Just like in Den-O, when they couldn't afford the Actors Actresses, they should have just nix'd X instead of replacing it with a child actor. -le sigh-

Also. Do ho ho spoilers.

Den-O is different. Her story and plot relevance hadn't even started yet. Nixing her would've ultimately been a bad decision.

Anyway, how can Kengo having a flaw get annoying?

ryan · 03-23-2012, 01:09 PM

Hey! Don't spoil Den-O or Fourze for me! Actually, your Fourze comment is cryptic enough, but unfortunately, I think I know what you're talking about with Den-O.

But after the end of episode 12 last night, I am surprised that Kengo is going to go back to being a jerk, because he seemed pretty ready to be cool with everyone from now on.

OK after some work I finally caught up to Fourze. Watch out for spoilers everyone!

I really like what I've seen so far. For one thing, the non-Rider characters are all very interesting, and the show does a great job of creating a believable environment in Amanogawa High School. All the Zodiarts have interesting stories, and the fact that some of them are recurrent characters makes it very fresh.

As of now, the current story is getting really exciting. The next episode can't come sooner enough.

I foresee this as being a Toku series I'll treasure in the future.
