Kamen Rider Agito - TALK UP!

[Sentaifan'07 Xman]

Okay, I managed to finish the later half of the show. And, I thought is was good. The thing that got me the fact that the story couldn't hold itself together, but I guess the writers were either trying to hard or perhaps that were having a lot of difficulties to put an actual connection to the existence of Agito itself.

But, still it was good. Now if only, I had seen episodes 38 and 50. I might understand it.

So, what are your thoughts about Agito?

Please discuss.

I thought Agito's story held together just fine. I can see how some people don't like the time skip or the finale and the "filler", but I thought it was great, it certainly got more of its cast involved than Kuuga, which was solely about Godai. The action was great, and I personally thought the chemistry between Hikawa and Shoichi reminded me of Godai and Ichijou, and now Shotaro and Phillip. It was really cool to see.

I really liked Hikawa. I remember Ozawa's speech in the finale when he was fighting two El's by himself. "He is Hikawa Makoto, a man who has never once cowered in the face of fear" Badass.

Didn't he also have a line that was like "Who on earth are you!?" "I am... an ordinary human!" So excellent.

I need to watch Agito again, because it's all basically a blur of marvelous, half-remembered highlights like that.

My other favorite part is when they were interrogating Shouichi, and he just admits to being Agito, and then bursts out laughing. It's just like, "hey, this secret identity stuff was a riot and all, but seriously, yeah, I'm that guy."

I need to get around to finishing Agito, it really is my favrioute Rider series.

Hikawa is probably my favrioute character in the series, along with G3.

Also, anyone else get a great deal of satisfaction when....

Except for the lackluster final battle, I thought Agito turned into a fantastic series. It was slow moving at first, but the story really kept you interested and wanting to know what was going to happen to the characters.

my opinion...is not that good...is quite boring but the final battle is epic

I only really have four major complaints with Agito:

1. Having the universe constantly **** on Ryou is taken to an unnecessary extreme. Yes, I understand the Job metaphor, but there are points in the series where I seriously wonder why the man hasn't slit his wrists yet. It just feels unnecessarily forced, and having his only reward at the end of the series be a GODDAMN PUPPY (which probably has rabies and will die within a week, knowing his luck) doesn't really make up for it all.

2. The rather anti-climactic way in which his form changes are introduced. Obviously, I'm not talking about Burning Form, that was very well done. I also really enjoyed Trinity form's introduction by having it be used when his memory returns. But Storm and Flame just came out of nowhere with no fanfare or explanation. It was just "Hey, I can pull weapons out of my belly now. No real reason why, I just can". After the brilliant buildup and execution of form changes in Kuuga (especially with the Rising forms), that just doesn't cut it.

3. Shouichi was not that interesting of a character for most of the series. Sure, the mystery surrounding him was great, and they did a great job of making you really want to know about his past, but as long as he was an amnesiac, he really wasn't all that interesting to watch on his own. He really just felt like Godai without all of his subtlety and humanity. Admittedly, the boy was legitimately brain damaged, but he was just a little TOO simple, even with that taken into account. I significantly preferred him as a character when his memories returned.

4. Kino's medical "practices". Admittedly, this was probably due to the fact I watched the series with a Vet-Med student, but seriously, no doctor should be able to get away with the **** he did, especially performing TWO SURGERIES AT THE SAME TIME WITHOUT CHANGING GLOVES OR WASHING HIS HANDS.

Other than those issues, it's a great series. It's no Kuuga, but really, what is?

Oh, and Ozawa was amazing.

Ahh Ozawa.....
Genius
Hot as all hell
Can take her beer. (No woman i know can down 8 huge glasses of beer and not be affected by it.)
Awesome.

But one thing puzzled me.
She was born and raised in the US, but in the final episode, when she does speak english, it's with a very heavy accent.

Maybe English was just never her strong point? Or she hasn't used English in such a long time, she forgot how to speak it properly?
