OH WOW KIVA *____*
Oh, WHAT A SOAP OPERA with teh plot twists and everything. It's so hard for me to make a list of people I really liked in this, because I really liked Wataru, and Otoya, and Nago, AND the Monsters(Jirou, Riki, and Ramon)! :D
*I think the saddest part was when Otoya died, I knew it would happen, and taking on Dark Kiva didn't help matters, even if he stopped the first king with Wataru.
-----Otoya was so cool and funny, I loved a lot of his scenes like when he was dancing in the park and just being 'adorkable' (see icon). I'm so glad they brought the actor back as Wataru's son from the future, Masao(with MagiRed's hairstyle). :D
*The monsters were cool! I really liked Riki even if he was used mostly for comedy relief.
*I still think Wataru is half-King though, sharing it with Taiga since they are brothers. Though I guess there's no need for a King now since the other Checkmate Four members are dead, and the brothers are trying to make everyone live in peace. Alias and I think he carries that on when he appears before Tsukasa/KR Decade.
*The evil Fangire resurface every 22 yrs? Though I wonder if this is where they get Kivara who appears in Decade then...
*The original king's hair scared me more then he did... *___*
*Nago was great, I'm glad they didn't kill him off. I was like 0_0 at his Nago-CRACK moments, but he redeemed himself greatly. You can tell who'll wear the pants in that marriage... :D
*The Asou women were pretty cool, in fact there seemed to be a lot of strong women roles in this series, from Maya and Yuri, to Megumi and the people Wataru helped. Don't often get that in Kamen, usually it's one strong female to balance the Rider(s) like what Natsumi is for Tsukasa or Hana was for Den-O.
*I did like the 'triple reveal', how Taiga, Mio and Wataru found out about each other. I then liked how all the revealing went around and how everyone had to deal with the stuff coming out, not just Wataru.
*And lastly, WHAT WAS WITH THE BATHTUB-INVADING? (LOL) I know they have Onsen places there (having gone to them when I could) but just wow... ^_^
I'm sure I'll think of more points later, but this is definitely ranking in my top 5 Kamen shows.
Well, summer is finally here, we have the 80s and 90s with the humidity, so bleh. Though it does feel more seasonal then the 50s and low 60s we were getting for the last month or so. Starting to get ready for the trip next month, but am taking my time since it's almost two weeks away.
