Every show has it's ups and downs. W had an annoying female lead, I don't care what LC or Darkster say. Akiko was loud, bubbly, and over-the-top with the slipper-hitting. LC says I don't like her because I like weak women, but she does't understand there are different types of strong. Akiko had like...two strong points. During the Sweets arc, and I during the Nightmare arc. Other than that, she barely contributed anything. The comedy she was there for was forced. And for God's sake, making her and Terui get togehter was PURE bullshit.
That'd be like sticking Ichigo with Orihime simply because the fans want it. It was pure Shipper bullshit. Terui wasn't even the slightest bit interested in her.
Anyway, enogh of my rant. Point is, no Rider show canb be BAD because someone somewhere will like it.
