And shit like that happens all the damn time in Faiz.

That's so wrong.. Yet still I want to watch. I think

If you are going for it, I think I'll join you, I've always been curious about it and I want to watch all the Heisei riders at some point.

But yeah, with Faiz reputation I don't think you'll enjoy it.

Lighter. No Rider show gets as bleak as Faiz.

Kiva and Faiz have the same writer iirc.

Yeah... Faiz isn't gonna be a fun ride.

Funnily enough he wrote the episode of Blade with the Undead who could copy appearances. One episode where communciation was vital and everything got solved quickly.
So at least it seems he knows how to make fun of himself.

Kuuga wasn't dark, it was miserable.

HEY LOOK DEAD CHILDREN LOOK AT THEM THEY ARE DEAD THEY PROBABLY COMMITTED SUICIDE OR SOMETHING BECAUSE THEIR PARENTS WERE ALSO MURDERED OR MAYBE THEY COMMITTED SUICIDE.

Kamen Rider Kuuga. A summary.

The balance between "darK' and "miserable" is one constantly lost.

Too many times I see shows like that, that think depressing, violent acts somehow improve it's quality.

That is a big reason why I couldn't stand Kuuga, it felt juvenile. Something that fourteen year old me would probably have dribbled over. I don't need to have the body count rubbed in my face, I don't need the show to purr as it mentions how many of those bodies were women and children, I don't need to know about the reactionary suicides or that this was all a game for the villains.

Sure it's intense, and sure it presents a 'realistic' world but it's also disgustingly gratuitous and the show addresses its miserable side with such glee it feels nothing more than poor taste.

Kiva 31?!

The coming of King, the Death of Rook.. and none of that compares to the preveiws. Saga is next!
