Blade was without a doubt the hardest Rider shows for me to get all the way through, so far.
I had to take a 3 month break at the half way point. The show is just very bland & boring. Even after the "half way" mark where it's "suppose" to pick up. It was a grind to sit & watch. Without posting spoilers, When you can replace the last episode of the show with the Movie & get a far better ending to the series. It's kind of a piss off. |

FINALLY you decide to get back to watching Blade. FINALLY.
I can rest easy knowing that Kenzaki has a potential new fan. =P

Think the movie was released around ep 30. No significance to the series whatsoever bar cutting it off 20 episodes in. Just your standard KR AU movie

In fact, I'd love to see Blade get a US version that keeps the plot largely intact but makes Chalice female to make the Blade/Chalice relationship more of a romance. Doing that and keeping the same ending would make it even more emotionally powerful. |

I will never understand the "Blade starts off slow" thing. I thought it was amazing from episode 1. Blade is the 2nd best KR series ever made IMO.

Yeah, I don't understand the "Blade starts slow" thing either, I thought it was great start to finish.

It really started as good as any episode of Faiz ever was. It just got better from there.
Also, NemyPred, Missing Ace does not offer a better ending. A less depressing one perhaps, but not better. The whole movie just feels "wrong" to me, like the writer was trying to compress 20 episodes of story-arcs and plot-points into 90 minutes. Everything is just kind of glossed over. So without further ado, Wall Of Text, engage! I also kind of admire the series' ending to the series for how ballsy it was. Ryuki and (mostly) Faiz have a decent reputation for their non-endings, but with Blade, it works. The show sets up an epic confrontation between two friends, with the world at stake, and then Kenzaki says "no". Blade, doesn't have any really apparent themes, but I'd wager one of them is that Humanity, on the whole, is nice. Hajime and the Tarantula Undead both grow to like the less savage traits of Humans. Garren's love for Sayoko is what allowed him to fight in the first place. Mutsuki's girlfriend was, on top of how much Leangle sucks, the only thing keeping him from being a straight villain. So it's only natural that when the time comes for them to fight, Joker is implied to want to be sealed, so as to save the world, and Kenzaki is still trying to find a way to save the world that lets Hajime live. In the end, he does something truly selfless for the sake of helping his friend, and that's the end, barring one or two depressing shots of Hajime Hallucinating Kenzaki sitting on a bench. That's why Blade's ending is great.

Switchblade & Fish Sandwich (btw, that's an awesome name)
I certainly see & respect what you guys are saying. Personal tastes differ & I just can't see Blade in that light. Now just in-case I break the internet with the above comment. let me balance it out. *rage rage rage* *stomp stomp stomp* *rage rage rage* Ok, we should be good now. |
