You're only judging it on an action stand point. If you had watched to the end, you would have grown sick of Leangle and Mutsuki.
I do like Leangle, but his entire story dragged on.

Ryuki episodes 23-28

Seriously, what was the fucking point of that time Vent from Odin? I was watching the entire episode trying to wait for plot but it didn't happen. All for what? A point to create an alternate movie timeline and a stupid clip show?!?!?!?!!! And this brings up even more plot holes in the series it never had before. How the hell does this card work? If odin was trying to change something by reversing time, why was he surprised when Ryuki punched him? Did the card make alternate time lines for the other 4 Riders where everybody forgot but them? Are there 5 rider war timelines going on at the same time?

I thought this was going to be the episode where the second Survive card was going to be pulled out of Shinji's ass.... I mean deck. Nope Perfect chance to redeem an episode Writers.I did like Shinji defying time though, but it didn't redeem a boring clipshow. At least a few episodes before, Genocider showed up.

My problems with Ryuki are growing, Yui oniichaning all over the fucking plot, Ouja not acting scary in the slightest and every rider except Shinji is now a dick. Before, at least there were minor problems that were covered up by 3 great riders and an amzing female supporting character ( Hint: its not Yui). Now there are bigger problems and only 2 Riders I like and half assed side plots involving a great supporting role.

I do have to give props to the Ryuki writers for making Ouja the first male serial killer in history to not have an urge to rape a woman right in front of him

Odin turned back time so the picture didn't get wrecked.

Okay, I have a serious question. Without spoiling how or when, I need to know: Does Zolda die? I'm pretty sure he does, because of his illness and the rider war. I have a sneaking suspicion he will, and I'm pretty saddened by this idea. He's hands down the best written, best portrayed character in the show. I only hope he goes out in a fitting way, either like a champ in a blaze of glory, or calmly succumbing to his sickness. I'll be pissed if he's a shock death or a cheap kill from another character.

Sorry to DP, but Ryuki 42: Tiger may be my second favourite current Rider. He is just... wow. What he just did and how he handled it was crazy. Those tears, those completely sincere, but utterly, utterly evil tears.

Meanwhile, is it just me or is Knight COMPLETELY superfluous to the plot? What is here for, exactly? He doesn't really do anything, he's not cool, he has no personality, he has no exceptional motives. (I WILL FIGHT BUT I WON'T FIGHT I THINK?) He's just... there. What's the point? At least Ryuki is trying to change the game, albeit slowly and clumsily. What is Knight doing to further the plot in any way? Zolda has his own plot and is sort of drifting to Ryuki's side, and as much as I hate him, Ouja at least serves the purpose of being the driving conflict. Knight might as well not be there.

Also that end bit with the useless woman was so badly done. I don't understand why if you have terrible effects you don't find creative ways around using them. Did they really need her eye to glow white and then a still image of her to roll onto the screen?

We decided to show one of our friends the first four episodes of W today. He is not fully sold on the series, but he did enjoy most of what he saw (it was that ugly CGI T-Rex that ruined it for him in episode 2).

ALso, someone can actually stand Tiger long enough AND like him????

That T-Rex is SO jarring when you go back and watch the series after forgetting about it. That and Anomali... that crab thing. It's like, wow, because W fights T-rex made of junk every day you see. Which I never got, how did the T-rex memory make it a giant junk monster?

To clarify, I don't like him, I like that he's so unique. He really seems... damaged, the way he cries ove rpeople he's killed, not because he regrets it, but that he's touched by their "sacrifice." He's absolutely a true case of psychosis and a dangerous person. He's of of my favourite characters because of how layered he is, and because he looks killer.

BTW, 43 has Kido just assaulting Imperer while he literally runs off crying. Better luck next time, horn-head? And Ouja beating up Tiger was dumb. Oh, it makes perfect sense (though Tiger accepting a one-on-one seems odd) and Ouja bested him legitimately, but I hate seeing shit characters get the upper hand over better ones. Especially since Ouja does only seem to be a certain skill and power level when the plot demands he be. Though they're both villains who deserve punishment for their crimes so either of them getting beaten doesn't really bother me. But still, Tiger left the battle laughing while Ouja threw another baby boy temper tantrum.

Other stand-out moments: "I know I'm rich, smart and cool." But has anyone told you you're modest, Zolda? I'm so glad I bought the Figuarts of him because I really just want a little arrogant lawer crawling around my table. That, and he totally gets one up on Ouja and Imperer in one fell swoop. In fact, Zolda was pretty badass this ep, FINALLY getting to use his Final Vent. And like before, it's like a fucking tanker truck exploded. It didn't even hit the two and they got blasted out of the mirror world. For a guy who's supposedly getting weaker, he still packs a whollop.

The T-Rex scene in Double was horrid. Like, they spent no work on making it look good at all. I'm glad they ditched the giant monster route, and only used it sparingly afterwards.

No kidding. It's weird, because by comparrison the big dinosaur bird (don't make me spell it's name) and Terror's horrifying head monster looked pretty good.

I wonder if T-rex head was a late idea in the first arc's planning since they diodn't properly promote Revolgarry?

By the way, I'm sure it's been done, but in light of Zolda's badassery this image came to mind...

Kai is... not my favourite part of Den-O. His motivations and actions make NO FRIGGIN' SENSE.

I think Terror's dragon thing would have looked better if it didn't have the derpy eyes.

And I do feel like the T-Rex was added just to promote the Revolgarry, since it didn't get very much use...

Kai was my least favorite part of Den-O. In light of the random plot twists and revelations that make no sense at the end, Kai was just...Weird. He was briefly alluded to once at, like, episode 19 (Ryuutaros says someone convinced him to kill the Singularity Point, and never brings it up again), and his point was just...Odd.
It really feels like Den-O was having so much fun it forgot it had a plot until the last 10 episodes.
