Fair enough if you feel that way, I personally found the plot pretty focused as far as toku goes.

DK 07.
Although this was probably one of the weakest episodes for story, between Kit's otherworldly stupidity and Len's way of always dragging out conflict by never saying the words that need to be said, actionwise this was a GREAT episode. I dunno, I kinda wanna like Kit more than I actually do. He has a much more complex dilemma than most American Toku heroes as he is just thrust right into the middle of a very real, very dangerous conflict and has to pretty much make every decision on the fly to stay on top. The actual set up is great but it just seems odd to create such a passive, naive hero to throw right into the middle of it all. I mean maybe that is the point, that he's the worse person to be caught up in this kind of mess but it still doesn't make the drama feel any less contrived, at some points I'm not sure Kit is even human with the kind of decision making skills he has. It's just not very fun following such a moron around. Although the actual context was kinda... missing that unmorphed fight was AWESOME. No weapons, no powers, just a pure take out your frustrations beatdown. Mullins may not be the best actor in the world, but that boy got presence. Plus, although the editing is admittedly horrible to the point where some fights are so smashed together and heavily spliced it's almost impossible to follow what is happening, the Ryuki fights seem decent enough to me. Some of the choreography is a little clunky, and the CGI is often both bad and used unnecessarily but it's the great characters that bring the action to life. I really really like Torque, he's not a villain that will redefine a generation, but there is something weirdly awesome about also giving the snake the biggest gun in the room. I mean his Final Vent man, it's so stupid and overpowered, it's just glorious.

Currently marathoning all series one after the other, while watching Gaim on the said. Currently at Blade... *groan* While I'm glad the actors got out of the 'Screaming all the time=EMOTION' phase, the series has so many problems (mostly tied to writing)... And yet so many good ideas too, which makes the end result even more infuriating to me.

I absolutely love the characters and the growth they go through.

But the editing is terrible most of the times (the first three episodes were something abominable) and the writing is subpar most of the times except when it shines. It's like, either it's very good or it's very, very bad. But it's getting better at the point I'm in because, as I found out, the series changed main writer in its middle. But some of the characters are just... HNNNGH! SOMEONE HANG THAT LITTLE GIRL! |

I don't care if you don't like Dragon Knight, power to you, by why is the reasoning for disliking the show always so shitty? It seems like people just want to hate on this show for the sake of hating on it, I don't think I've ever read a genuinely solid criticism of the show in my entire time on this forum expect maybe bad editing, but is that really a reason to hate a WHOLE show?
The only praise I can give DK is for actually using all 13 riders in the show. Last edited by Dr Kain; 04-03-2014 at 09:00 AM.. |

Blade changed writers? LOL I didn't notice because the show was still amazing.
Blade is the best Rider series I've seen. Amane is annoying but at least she's not the focus in every episode. Last edited by Powerman293; 04-03-2014 at 09:32 AM.. |

I didn't hate Amane either, I didn't hate anyone in Blade. I even love Mutsuki, even though he was annoying when Possessed but still anyone can get annoying when possessed.
I'd like to mention that Blade had some of the most humorous scenes I've seen in Kamen Rider just because of the randomness of it.
