The suit designs are fantastic, the monsters are menacing, the saga with Saga (Yes, I just said that) and the mention of Dark Kiva at the end paints the picture that something big is at work here. Now, I know that people complain about the love stories or the abundance of Emperor Form, but I think those are easily looked past in exchange for the excellent storyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726631926220557249.post-79897991891952688512015-09-04T18:03:59.988-07:002015-09-04T18:03:59.988-07:00yeah same here with Den-oyeah same here with Den-oAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04832444329400833687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726631926220557249.post-42770428224696866092015-09-04T16:17:02.551-07:002015-09-04T16:17:02.551-07:00wait Inoue wrote Kuuga like more than one episodewait Inoue wrote Kuuga like more than one episodeAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04832444329400833687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726631926220557249.post-8778403625387744012013-02-05T23:59:22.515-08:002013-02-05T23:59:22.515-08:00Similarities Between Kamen Rider Kiva and Danny Ph...<a href="http://akizukiorientaldramamovie.blogspot.com/2013/02/similarities-between-kamen-rider-kiva.html" rel="nofollow">Similarities Between Kamen Rider Kiva and Danny Phantom</a>Sean Akizukihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03004289668366730936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726631926220557249.post-41218275190630424172012-12-31T18:01:05.252-08:002012-12-31T18:01:05.252-08:00Well this was my first one so I still have very fo...Well this was my first one so I still have very fond memories of it. Then with Yuri I let that slide because she could have easily met someone else after the time Otoya died. How she died could have been natural or Rook since we weren't sure when he came back exactly we just knew he had amnesia. Then the Fangires are different creatures and high chance if they were caught before they tried to be more disclosed and hid themselves better than before.KamenSentaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17516853725559425884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726631926220557249.post-9404226465435629332012-12-31T08:25:03.204-08:002012-12-31T08:25:03.204-08:00You and I seem to share some same feelings... like...You and I seem to share some same feelings... like despite the flaws I still have a soft spot for it.

Rook's amnesia was a parody of Radiguet's amnesia. <br /><br />2.) The Kiva/Saga rivalry for who would be king with the love triangle for Mio wasn't really that depressing. <br /><br />3.) Otoya is JUST a silly character. Never liked him.<br /><br />Stuff I would agree:<br /><br />1.) Kengo was useless. I'd dare say Kengo was just there to be there. Sort of like he's Tucker in Danny Phantom.<br /><br />Some real plotholes:<br /><br />1.) If there was a 1986 timeline and no Fangire are shown to be defeated, then don't tell me that the Showa era riders were killing them?<br /><br />2.) How did Yuri Aso die and who is the father of his children?<br /><br />Now for some self-promotion of something wacky I did:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.fanfiction.net/s/8655551/1/Kamen-Rider-Kiva-vs-Danny-Phantom" rel="nofollow">Kamen Rider Kiva vs. Danny Phantom</a>Sean Akizukihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03004289668366730936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726631926220557249.post-11341179081468902022012-01-01T03:39:34.369-08:002012-01-01T03:39:34.369-08:00Well I havent seen every thing from tokuastu so th...Well I havent seen every thing from tokuastu so there are somethings I have no idea about. Like Changeman and I still havent finished Agito. I think the execution of the diff times was used properly because they were supposed to have similar plots. Its supposed to show that no matter how much time passes something will always be the same. This is my first rider series and for me the good things over power some of the little flaws. It sort of makes sense that some fangires can live because IXA wasn't around and it was still in prototype form.KamenSentaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17516853725559425884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726631926220557249.post-22021248376001587852011-12-31T22:20:59.545-08:002011-12-31T22:20:59.545-08:00Oh Kiva...

But earlier this year, I rewatched it, and it didn't turn out so well. =( I found a lot of flaws in the show during my second watch through which bugged me a lot.<br /><br />Kiva had the whole horror motif and 80s stuff going on which I was very interested about. Though I realized it didn't focus too much on either of those concepts. But that aside, I liked the overall goth look in the designs of the show. Vampires, Werewolves, monsters, bats, violins, music, dragons, stained glass designs. I REALLY love all that stuff! =D<br /><br />Like most Riders, the concepts are cool to me. But the execution doesn't seem to be quite good enough for me to really love. Which makes me sad. =(<br /><br />I thought the two timelines concept would've been really cool. But head writer Toshiki Inoue did a terrible job at it. Both time eras would practically repeat the same story as each other. Plus, they never got to defeat a Fangire in 1986. Yet, they all miraculously come back in the same 2008.<br /><br />A lot of the writing in Kiva is typical post-Agito Inoue style, rather than expanding on the potential imagination of Kiva's concepts. The show sticks to typical drama between characters and love triangles. A lot of the characters felt rather useless and unimportant. The only ones that seemed like they mattered to the story were Otoya and Maya. And yeah, I agree that a lot of other characters came in at awkward times. Like how some even came in really late.<br /><br />Action was definitely good.<br /><br />It feels like Inoue was trying too hard to recapture several past successes from previous shows, which kinda gave it a lack of originality to me. Spider Fangire = Goma (Kuuga). Rook = Radiguet (Jetman). Nago = Hikawa (Agito). Otoya = Akira (Changerion).<br /><br />Overall, I really want to like Kiva. But I just can't bring myself to say it anymore. As frustrating as that is. =( I just can't watch past the flaws. Nor can I figure out any reason to justify them. Sigh. I'll admit I still kinda have a soft spot for this season for what it is.Fantasy Leaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05569883688508216805noreply@blogger.com
