Kamen Rider Kiva - Final Thoughts for the year and look back

Ryuutaros

"Training."
Well, it ends, today, sad, if it wasn't for the olympics Kiva would've had 50 eps.

After the final ep post your thoughts about the show for the year ect


This year was amazing..
 
Kiva brought me mix feelings, but overall I think it was a good show.

QFT.

Both Fangire kings should have had elite guards to protect them. The show should have made it into a quest to reach the top. Instead you have the King running around with that bitch Bishop cleaning the Fangire's poop. In other words, they should have made the 86 king and Taiga more elite and better equiped, like Sephiroth or something. :D
 
Also, they should've stuck with one idea and go along with it. Instead of just abaddoning it half way through like the power-ups and the whole fangire-soul-turn-into-a-giant monster thing.
 
What gave me mixed feelings were the pre-empts, and then coming into a not so great episode.

But besides that, I LOVED Kamen Rider Kiva. It was a great ride..I mean walk.
 
My Thoughts Though I have not seen the last two episodes yet.

[HIDE]This is the biggest FAIL of Kamen Rider I have ever seen.
Watched Kiva 46. No matter how this ends, they have messed up the story a lot in this show & the characters. This is the biggest fail of all Kamen Rider series that I have seen. There are things that don't add up such as Megumi being older than Wataru, but obviously isn't really possible. & Since we have a story with her mom, we should know where her dad came from who he is.

They Character development is awful too.

First Wataru is all wimp, then out of nowhere fighting Fangire w/o transforming? & This whole transformation into the dragon thing is just stupid. That Zanbat sword kills me.. why slide it 50 times? It's annoying & LAME. & Using Emperor all the time is lame too.

Megumi is all smart hardcore fighter until she avenges her mom, then she becomes a pointless retard.

Nago is cool & serious business, then crazy & weird, then being pushed around & clumsy, then just stupid but serious at certain times.

Shizuka...was left out of half the show after being in all the first episodes..

Mio - well she was forced into a development & died w/o ever having a true intention.

Kengo...dork rocker then out of nowhere fighter, then back to dork.

Jiro- hates the world, then suddenly starts being agreeable.

Tatsulot ...where did he come from again?

Yuri - She was a strong serious character in the beginning, but she gets turned into a weak nothing.

Now these characters remain okay.

Riki & Ramon - didn't get any character flaws so they are okay.

Maya - well she didn't change much & her intents remained the same, sos he is good.

Taiga- is still Taiga so far, & he's okay.

Bishop - Bishop is the best character in the show. No failures of character really.

Kivat - awesome & unchanged until the end.

Shima - remains the same for the most part, but we all know what happens to him. XD


Too many plot holes, unnecessary things, & forgotten stuff.

Rook was introduced and died way too early. He didn't even have true interactions with the other 3 Checkmates. The first 20 episodes were a waste story wise but the fights were entertaining, until Emperor form was introduced (Story exists while fights suck ass.) Why did Taiga have Sagarc which seemed like a lousy place-holder until he got Kivat the 2nd?

These people (Toei) need to stop calling everyone who can Henshin a Kamen Rider. It isn't just a name it's a way of life. I mean look at ShadowMoon, he had a bike, belt, Kick and buggy design but he was evil which made him NOT a Rider!
 
Overall I thought Kiva was pretty good but I wish they would have explained where Sagarc came from. Is it supposed to be what every king has until he is eligible to receive Dark Kiva? Also how come we didn't see Taiga's fangire form?
 
This show was one of the biggest disappointments for 2008 that it almost destroyed my love for Kamen Rider. The only reason why I still love KR is because someone finally uploaded the entire Kuuga series on Veoh :buttrock: and I finally got a chance to watch it (and if you haven't seen this show yet, watch it right now because it truly defines what a 'Kamen Rider' show should look and feel like!!!)

Anyways the reason for my disappointment for this show is because
-it pretty much uses ideas from previous rider shows:
For example Kiva's forms are rip-off's Kuuga's forms. Same colors, same type of abilities,etc.
Castle Doran= Denliner, Bron Booster=Gouram, Arms Monsters=Imagins.

-Ryoutarou 2.0's, I mean, Wataru's character type does not fit the role of the main hero because Kiva has a dark look to it that the wimpy character type just doesn't look right.
