I've already watched almost all the rider shows now, except for a few. But one thing that really bugs me is that almost every show has a terrible second half or a rushed ending. For example: Faiz. Faiz is a great example of a terrible second half. To me, after Inui revealed that he was the wolf orphenoch, it fell apart. The following episodes worked, as it developed his character, but it seemed like as if the writers didn't know what to do next. They just kept rushing the story and seemed like as if they forgot the character development, Smart Brain seemed to have no direction whatsoever, and it seemed like there was action for the sake of action. The ending was rushed, many plot holes present, and the mysteries in the first half were not well explained.
Another example would be Kiva. Kiva was just so lost in its "plot" that I can cut 20 episodes and it would still have made sense. The checkmate four and the real king was just so pointless it didnt' leave any room for development. Nago's character was INCREDIBLY interesting and in the first half, and in the latter half, THE WRITERS FORGOT ABOUT HIM!! He was just there!!
And come on, let's not even mention Decade. It's whole story made no sense whatsoever. And any possible development is neglected
Anyways. sorry for the rant, but I just really hope that you guys can suggest other toku shows (I didn't touch on SS yet lol) that will leave me less disappointed. Well I guess the real reason behind such lackluster plot is maybe because higher ups do not want the shows to be too dark I guess. :\
Also, fingers crossed for Gaim not falling apart because it's the best rider show yet (not biased at all)
