Of all the characters people like to criticise in this season, he stands out as one of the ones I liked -- his disposition is pretty similar to Ryotarou which could feel a bit repetitive, but heck; it's the second time in the entire franchise we've gotten a main character like this, so I'm not exactly unhappy about it. He's just very charming and
earnest
in a shy, restrained way that endears him to me. He's a good lad.
I think where he feels distinct from Ryotarou (at least in their debuts) is in how Wataru is trying to disappear from observation, shrinking away from communication. He's mirroring the ways the Fangire victims vanish, and I think that's a) thematically clever, and b) just plain neat. Ryotarou always struck me, even from the start, as someone who wanted to engage with the world.

I didn't really touch on it (maybe next time?), but I love this theme song and title sequence. Really fun to watch, and it's appropriately epic-feeling for the show about melodramatic multi-generational monster-detonation.

Anyone know anything about that? Did Inoue have a falling out with the series?
No idea, but then, I haven't done any investigation. I'm sure some of our typically encyclopedic contributors will have a theory or two!

OZC-Live for the episodes, and whoever I can get for the movies and bonus stuff. (TV-Nihon, SwagScrubs, I don't remember who else.) It's tough to find one group that does everything normally, and Kiva is
incredibly
hodge-podge.
