That's how I always viewed Hibiki.
But, after realizing that I had already finished most of the anime series for 2009, I found myself in need for some serious rider kicking.
So I gave Hibiki a shot.
Just finished episode 20 and I 'm really liking it.
Of course, I found myself kind of speed viewing the battles, but I'm totally digging the story.
Is it wrong to love the plot more than the action in a kamen rider?
Huh, now that I think about it that's never happened in a toku for me.
Mostly the action would save the plot but this time I found myself wanting to see more of Asumu than of the Oni fights.
I'll finish up before I give a full review but right now its seeming more like Hibiki is in the running for most underrated rider series.
Next to X but who gives a damn about X.
