Even though we all complain about Meteor Storm being a symmetrical Meteor with just a few design changes and a new weapon with a switch...We have to remember Hibiki Kurenai.

I thought Hibiki Kurenai was fucking badass. I wish he got a lot more time before Fuse Akira brought over the Armed Saber, but I liked the crimson colored Hibiki. It was just pure awesome.

Really, I think the only thing I find about Meteor Storm...and this goes for Magnen States too is just how unwieldy the belts look with that huuuuge thing sticking on top of them. To be honest, I think it kinda kills the look of the belt.

Who? I've only seen most of OOO and Fourze with one or two episodes of W and Decade so mind filling me in on who that is?

Hibiki Kurenai is the second form Hibiki uses during the spring time from the show Kamen Rider Hibiki. Great watch, until episode 29 that is...

Hey, I liked Zanvat. D: :disappoin

*fap fap fap* NOW POSE FOR DA CAMERA! *pose and then fangaires explodes in the background*

yeah, I hate the sword and the slow action. Tatsulot made it worse and the seal thing the 3 guardians made was urgh in my opinion.

Ah, so THAT's the point where it starts to suck. I wanted to make sure I knew when everything went to hell before I even approach Hibiki again.

28 episodes is pretty decent, I gotta say. I was worried it was gonna be less.

Episode 29 was great. Perhaps one of the best episodes IMO. Episode 30 is where it changes.

So Toei changed Hibiki for the sole reason of boosting toy sales? If so, that's rather disappointing.

We gotta remember that toy sales ARE kinda the point of these shows, for better or for worse...

Yeah, Inoue took the seat after episode 29, he was also involved with the movie. I really loved what Hibiki had going, I wish they(the original crew) could had finished the show. Though episode 29 by itself does serve as a pretty satisfying ending, a free for all open ending but hey, I like it much more than what Inoue and the new production crew turned Hibiki into, not to mention I like it more than Faiz's if we're treating episode 29 of Hibiki as the finale.

I'm really glad Bandai didn't managed to screw up Fourze too with it's ridiculous amount of CGI and wire-fu(when Sakamoto's around).Though I'm curious, was Kamen Rider as a franchise always had their mind set on toy sales > audiences/encouraging kids/fans? Or maybe this is all Bandai's fault?
