The dangers of overhyping something.

Agito is an excellent example how how terrible pacing combined with terrible sound design can kill a series. Every episode feels EXACTLY THE SAME because of the music tracks used with no variation to how they're edited in combined with every episode being basically the same premise and sequence of events.

Plus Agito himself is a terrible character, just smiling like an idiot oblivious to most things that aren't directly accociated with him and totally apathetic to the plight of anyone who's not himself or maybe that annoying girl who acts about as well as I riverdance.

Which is to say terribly.

Agito is at best a decent series, but there's literally nothign there that's "great" except the themesong... which the show replaces with a garbage half-techno version later.

The greatest example of Agito's flaws is Gills. People say he has such a great character arc, and while it is tehre, it's painfully stretched out to the point where it's so thin it's practically see-through. Most of the time he just screams or hell yell at people "WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THE *ship's name*!?" and notting getting any answers.

I almost finished Agito. I think I had three episode left, but I couldn't. I seriously cannot fathom why anyone would find it entertaining. When it's not "OH SO MYSTERIOUS LOOK AT THE MYSTERY" it's eye-rollingly predictable and people always say it's the best series but never say why.

The crossover portion of Mega Max didn't really sway me that much, I mean the action was great and what have you but I've not seen any Showa Rider other than Black so all the cameos did nothing for me, this is why I never cared for Gokaiger.

And the final villain was absolutely rubbish, he died in about five minutes and the combination of Fourze and Os was fucking UGLY. He looked like a dildo with bits of table cloth hanging off him.

But seeing OOO become a fucking tank near the end was worth it.

OOO why didn't you use Tajador's scanning charge?

Os had lots of cool moments throughout the whole film but the film was way too overstuffed, I would have honestly rather had the W and Legendary Rider stuff cut out as it was just fanservice and added nothing to the plot, along with the shitty Rider from the future and Gen's first boner.

[Matrixbeast]

The reason for the Legendary Rider stuff was because KR was celebrating it's 40th Anniversary.
It wasn't necessary beyond just advertising the switches, but I love seeing Amazon (My personal favorite Showa Rider)

I know why they are there, but they take up hell of a lot of the film for just being cameos and while OOO is over there trying to create a satisfying epilogue to its series, Mega Max is just bombing shit in everywhere.

The pacing was ultimately atrocious and the only part of the film I thought was genuinely 'good' was OOOs portion and even then all that shit with the random Rider of the future ended up wasting so much precious time none of the OOOs epilogue really provided any kind of closure anyway, if anything we're left with more questions by the end of that.

[SPLIT LIP]

Ah well, maybe because I didn't expect anything of Megamax I enjoyed the fanservice and cameos and other stuff they did. (Plus I skipped the Fourze section since I don't know him)

I guess that means all you have left is OOO Wonderful and Let's Go Kamen Riders?

[Locke]

I'll wait until I've finished Den-O in a few months time to watch Let's Go but I have OOO Wonderful ready to go.

[Matrixbeast]

I think Let's Go is accessible to a viewer who doesn't know much about Den-O, since it hardly shares much connection to the series, but I guess it would help to get acquainted with the Den-O characters who do appear.
