And thats where I know Bishop from! He was Legion in Wizard, and apparently someone in Hibiki. That makes two from hibiki o.o

He dies from transforming into Dark kiva too many times.

That's true, but unanswered questions are just a part of Kamen Rider, as I've gathered. Though I do want answers for those shows too like Kiva.

Kuuga 43-46

The story is winding down but we still have those bullshit real life subplots to deal with. *Sigh*

On the other hand, the final monster of the week story arc of the show was actually engaging. The Kabuto guy who could change forms and use Golden power was interesting and could have had implications but Yuuske just gets electrically shocked again to get more power. *Sigh* Damn it Kuuga, why can't you have engaging subplots related to the villains.

And now we have only 2 left. B1 and N-Daguva-Zeba. This might be epic depending on how many kindergartners they decide to keep out of these last 3 episodes. Also, is it just me, or did I not expect Zeba's voice to be that high when you saw heard about him?

I'll do end of Kuuga tomorrow.

That's just Japanese story telling in general. They forget to answer the questions they made and instead, leave a series off with even more questions and very little answers. It is one of the things I really hate about anime/movies/toku/manga, especially when they know how long a series is going to run and yet they still cannot get an ending given. I mean, it isn't like Kamen Rider or Sentai is just going to abruptly end its newest show at 30 episodes, so an ending should be planned out when the show is just starting, NOT 3 weeks before it needs to air.

I agree with Kamen Rider and Sentai should both have endings planned and all unanswered questions be answered. I mean sometimes it might go longer than expected but you can pretty much have all storylines planned out.

We don't ever really agree on anything but on this, I agree one thousand percent.

They have no fear from the axe man, they simply have fifty episodes to tell their story, so then why is it, despite this fact, that the shows are always so poorly planned out?

Rushed anti-climactic messes in the last ten episodes. That middle section where the show starts to drag and meander waiting for a secondary Rider to come pick the show up. The amount of shows that introduce a mythology in the first ten episodes and then spend the next forty episodes contradicting it and so on.

Toku shows should be, all things considered, the tightest of the tight when it comes to visual storytelling and yet in many ways they are some of the worst. I've seen American shows run for almost a decade, spend every season terrified of being cancelled at any moment, and yet still managing to be better paced and consistent than most toku shows.

Gah.. So many people upset about Kamen Rider unanswered questions.. Gomen-Nesai!

And 555 is a prime example of this. What do they do in the last 10 episodes? Introduce a new organization (even though I believe it was one man) that is hunting Orphenochs out of the blue and then they are gone like nothing along with coming up with a King Orphenoch who is hiding in a child or something. I don't know because I could never figure it out and I've watched the show 5 times over.
