Kamen Rider Blade: pretty awesome

Blade for me had the best tragic ending in all of Kamen Rider, I loved every inch of the series to the core. The only thing that gave me problems was the suit design pattern which were somewhat prefabricated, like Joker's buckle having the shape of a heart even if it's off any suit of cards. I love the OP, the ED, the story, the characters, the ending, etc.
 
Never finished, i don't remember, is it fully subbed?

I think I stopped 2 eps after kamen rider leangle appeared do to outside business. I believe that's were I started to like it too. I remember not liking the beggining and thought it was weird.

All 49 subbed by our friends at TV-N
 
It's been a while since I've seen Blade. It was the 3rd heisei rider show I watched in 2008. First was Kabuto, second was Faiz. I can barely remember any episodes, but the one episode I can clearly remember was the one with Garren fighting Isaka for the last time. "SAYAKOOOO!!!!!!!"

Blade's next on my "Toku to Rewatch list":)
 
Of all of the Heisei Riders, Blade was my favorite. Especially when it came to Kenzaki's heroism, to where he made the ultimate sacrifice. Now he must keep his distance from Hajime or else the world will end. While some people can't understand why Kenzaki would do that for Hajime, it's because Hajime has grown beyond the Joker, where he wants to embrace humanity.

So far that's been one of the most memorable moments for me, and I think it's the moment when I really started liking Tachibana/Garren.
 
I have mixed feelings about this show. I loved the whole back-story of the undead, and I really liked the whole science vs religion thing they did near the end of the show. (The Trials were BADASS!)

My big problem was the characters, and the fact that they should have called the show "Kamen Rider Chalice"
Kenzaki got so little focus through the first half of the show, that you almost forgot that he was the main hero.
Garren seemed to be suffering from the Kabuto syndrome. He HAD to fight the other Riders, no matter how lame the reason was, and it made Tachibana look like a complete idiot who was willing to throw himself in front of a train if someone with a higher position told him to.

However, I want to give the writers credit for his "final battle". The speech he gave while beating the hell out of the Giraffa Undead almost gave me goosebumps.
Though, I also find it kinda funny, because it feels like the actor was giving a rant about how they had fucked up his character through the entire show :D

The show was all about Hajime, and he was the character I liked most. I love mystery characters. He almost felt like a new Gills to me.

I don't agree with you guys about this Chalice stuff. Yeah he was in it a lot, but so were all the others. The show was about Blade. It always was. You have to look past the superficial to see that.
