Pure awesome-ness, thats what it was, pure unfiltered awesome.
Definitely a series I would like to marathon through at some point but for now based on everything i can remember this series is by far my favourite. There are just so many great episodes and stand out moments when i compare it to other series that I've seen. Now to see how Wizard holds up. Agreed, I liked it last time they used it too. I need that and the orchestral version of the main theme, both where epic. Last edited by RiderSkyward; 08-27-2012 at 08:19 AM.. |

Thanks! I thought it was the same song but wasn't sure.

The finale was pretty good; tons of great action with some emotional moments that nicely tied into the heart of the series.
But it did nothing to resolve my isses with Fourze. What about the people on the M-BUS? The remaining Horoscope users could've been interesting backup for Gentaro but instead they're just forgotten and might as well be stuck there forever now. Kengo's return at the end was predictable and lame; one of several elements done better elsewhere. Meteor is still more or less a waste of space I didn't hate watching Fourze but I definitely don't count it among my favorites. SPOILER WARNING for my post, including for Kamen Rider W. I assume they saved the M-BUS people eventually. It was a bit of a missed opportunity to not have them present for the final battle, but I don't think they'll really add too much. I think it would be better for them to have a short epilogue showing them returning to Earth safely. Is the Japanese name something like "Saite"?

If there was anything I would change, it would've been the overall ending, showing what happened to those on the MBUS, like during the teacher meeting maybe Sonada could've walked in, or during the panning shots of the students on the school grounds maybe we could've seen Kijima's performers or those school enforcers Taurus ran.
Other than that, I get teary eyed during Kengo's goodbye (And, unlike W, his return didn't anger me all that much. His staying dead really didn't fit with the overall feeling of the series). That said, it's a fine ending, had some great moments, awesome fights (I took a breath of relief when Gen didn't use all 41 switches), and even had me laugh a bit. Also, Paladin, how is Meteor a waste of space? Seriously?

Meteor is an interesting design with a great combat style and the basis for an interesting character. When he first came into the show with the suggestion that friendship may be a concept with multiple definitions for different people, it seemed like the perfect base to test Gentaro's beliefs and potentially expand his world-view through a greater understanding of his friends.
And then they did absolutely NOTHING with the concept. Once Aries died & Meteor's former partner was essentially cured from the Zodiart Switch, any character development ceased. Hell, I'm not even sure his friend was cured; we never even SAW the coma-guy again once the Aries arc was over. That just strikes me as a waste. |

Track down the Music States CD, that has the song on it.
I'm kinda glad that it was Gamou who revived Kengo, and they didn't do some cheesy friendship revival...although him becoming a real human? Totally called that one. |

It was enjoyable. I kinda had a feeling Gentaro was gonna try being Gamou's friend after the fight. I could have done without the music during the fight. It reminded me of the ballet fight scene in the OOO's portion of movie war core. But i am glad they added more to Ryuusei and Tomoko at the end. I think we have a slight idea what the Fourze portion of the Wizard / Fourze movie will be now. I was kinda hoping for Shun in the Power Dizer one last time , but it's cool.
I will miss these guys , but Wizard has promise. |
