Not sure what you did not like, but I am big into mythology and the occult, both of which is featured in this series.

I'd rank the series OOO > Fourze > Wizard, personally.

As much as I enjoy Wizard, and Haruto, the pacing is downright atrocious and although OOO may have been an awful story, the characters were fantastic from near start to finish and it had a very satisfying conclusion.

Fourze I'd probably rank at the bottom otherwise for how weak the last one and half third of the series was, but man that first third was near flawless.

WOW SORRY I clicked the last post on my CP like usual and it took me back like three months into the thread, sorry for necroing it :S

Blade 37

Hmm, Blade King form seems to be stronger than Joker. although, I know he's holding back, since he doesn't want to hurt Hajime. But Joker doesn't seem to stay down for long so maybe they're on even ground?

Tiger Undead finally reveals to Kenzaki that his King Form drew the Joker's power out. And then Tachibana and Dr. Hirose reveal they knew that as well. Along with the fact that if Kenzaki keeps using it, he'll lose his humanity. So of course they're gonna go and tell hi-Damn it Hirose! Stop sending Trials after Kenzaki! TELL him what's wrong!

That said, Tachibana does seem to be trying to calmly dissuading him from sending psychopath monsters after his friend. And he gets suspicious of Dr. Hirose's intentions. I think.

So according to the Chief, King form was meant to be a fusion of just the King card...but Kenzaki's went overboard with it and added thirteen fucking cards into the mix. Really, Spider-Mutsuki? Kidnapping a blinded Amane?! Well, you are a criminal now...I like how Tiger Undead's just hanging out there now. And how she just casually threatened to eat Amane, who I'm feeling pretty bad for, at the moment.

I think Kenzaki giving Mutsuki his Rouzer was a pretty bad idea...Not for him, but for Mutsuki. I mean the things probably going to implode or electrocute him or somet-...eh, nevermind Kenzaki. Carry on. Trial F is some shit. Or maybe just careless. Kenzaki managed to knock him to the ground long enough to escape untransformed? Huh...

Oh shit! New form for Chalice! Fight!!! For your humanity, Hajime!

I rank Fourze and Wizard as about equal. Both shows have their good points, but both are also deeply, deeply flawed. With Fourze, the biggest problem is, of course, pacing. With Wizard it's tone. Not that Wizard doesn't have pacing issues, too, but they're nothing next to Fourze's.

Blade 38

I like Hajime's new mode. Color's are weird though, but I don't dislike them. I do think the bow and arrow weapon was cooler than these knives though...but then they combined into this awesome bow so I guess I'll take that criticism back...

Ah, of course Tachibana would arrive late and think Hajime beat up Kenzaki.Hajime doesn't seem to care much though. He's Joker no more!Finally Kenzaki get to meet Prof. Hirose....and is rightfully pissed at him! And finally we get to see the Undead being released. Apparently there was someone of higher rank than Chief Karasuma. I don't remember if any mention of him was made before...

Aha, Mutuski can't even use the damn rouzer without a category queen. Considering his record...I dunno if he'll ever get one. I still don't know why the Tiger Undead just hangs out with him. Maybe she has nothing better to do? Nice that Amane stumbled her way back to Hajime. Seems Kotarou more or less can get along with Hajime now, which is good, I guess.


What...Mutsuki's beating Kenzaki? I'll chalk it up to Kenzaki essentially just waking up. Yeah. Honestly, he didn't even need to go into King form to beat Mutuski. Jack form seems like it'd be enough. I hope Tachibana soon recognizes what an evil fuck Prof. Hirose is...At least he's listening to reason now.


...Okay, this must be the danger of King form. Kenzaki's acting more like the Joker Undead. NOW Tachibana realizes he;'s been working with a psycho. Took long enough. Too bad he fell for the old get locked in the freezer trick. Good thing he had his Rider Belt.And...Prof Hirose has powers? What is he an Undead?

Hajime's being generally friendly...he's smiling. This is bizarre. But hey all four riders together. Sorta. Mutsuki just calls himself a loser and runs away. So...par for the course.

So...this Prof Hirose is a crazy trial clone. Makes sense...And the big boss of Board doesn't seem particularly benevolent. Of course now that he's revealed not to be who he thought he was, does Trial B think about his...well, Prof Hirose's daughter.

Very much like the series Kamen Rider OOO Wonderful: The Shogun and the 21 Core Medals was full of inconsistencies and was just in general, a largely pretty shit story however everything else I liked about OOO is blown up a thousand fold to the point where I want to write valentines letters to this film.

Eiji was just a flawless protagonist, the cast seemed to hit some kind of sacred balance as their chemistry was spot on in a way unprecedented in the series that made every character exchange both heart-warming and so enjoyable your face hurts from smiling.

Plus the film just had so much heart, I loved how it was able to achieve huge and truly cinematic action sequences and set pieces, while still having such huge emotions, it wasn't a melodrama thank Christ but it was still deeply affecting. Whether it was the actually good child actor playing Shun and has story with his mother, whether it was Hina's feelings about Ankh and her brother and the importance of human contact, or whether it was just the profound effect someone as incredibly loveable as Eiji has on the people around him it really was a film that delivered on all fronts. Except story...but I never expected it too.

I'm just so glad as well that finally a film learns that there is a difference between crowd pleasing and fanservice. Basically, in short, I loved loved LOVED this film and in turn the film really made me realise just how much I adore the series as well.

Plus, I'm glad that once again this series shows the world it knows how to do a damn right fantastic ending. Just wow.

Just finished episode 20 of Kiva. Now I'm wondering, when would be a good time to watch the movie?

It doesn't really matter, the movie is non-canon.

And pretty awful to boot.

As much as I love the series it has one of the worst films.
