I don’t like this one, they take things far more serious compared to Den-O but the plot is so fucking cliche and full of holes I can’t take it seriously and basically don’t give a damn about what is going to happen -_-
The characters are much more worse. Tendou is fine, I don’t like him at first but at least he is pretty entertaining and cool. Kagami is fun to watch and made me want to support him, not as much after he became Gatack but I’m fine with him. Hiyori is a stupid bitch though. She is an emo, a damsel in distress, an impolite girl, the only facial expression she makes is sulking, she is useless. She has everything I hate in a character. First she uses “omae” all the time, it’s alright if she uses that with Tendou and Kagami since they’re friends but even with Gon? Seriously? Is that the way she should talk with a GOOD KID like Gon? I’m not sure if she uses “omae” with Juka since I didn’t pay attention at those episodes but I suspect she talks with Juka without calling her. The way she dresses is so inconsistent, though I suppose this is more of the staff’s fault then her. Anyway, she is supposed to be social awkward and she did dress like that in the beginning, later though, she dresses like a happy young city girl. But my biggest problem with her is her stupid obsession with her past. So after the meteor, she tried to climbed out and saw a boy wearing a belt standing besides her parents’ corpses. It’s expected of her to suspect that person and try to find him, but boy oh boy, her stupid mind can only think that anyone wearing that belt killed her parents. Right, because there is only one belt like that in the world! And because 2 good friends of her have that belt, one of them must be the murderer! But she isn’t good at talking and the only thing she could do is ACCUSING THEM AND THEN CRIED in front of her parents’ grave to make the viewers empathy with her. Too bad, bitch, if you hate yourself so much go commit suicide, I’d be more than glad to help you. Also in Daisuke and Gon’s arc, she decided to go help rescuing Gon because she misunderstood that Gon’s the same with her (because forced drama is everywhere) despite the fact that she DIDN’T KNOW what was going and couldn’t do shit. Of course she didn’t do anything when they went there, she just followed everyone around. I suppose I should be glad she didn’t screw things up. And in the beginning, when Tendou promised to take her to the flower festival but couldn’t make it because he was caught, she kept saying he’s a liar. How bright of her, he couldn’t even come home with his dear sister but who give a fucking damn care? Of course he didn’t have any trouble at all and was having fun somewhere because he wanted to lie to HER, he wanted to make HER wait and suffer. I fucking hate this character and the way they tried to make her image only makes the matter worse. I nearly punched the screen when she cried in her ANGELIC WHITE DRESS.
Then there is Tsurugi Kamishiro, at first I thought he’s just an all high and mighty character like Tendou but in another way. Sadly that is not the case, he is an ignorant and arrogant rich kid who knows nothing about life, even the fact that his family is actually poor like shit now. He is lame like a comedy relief character but this is not a comedy show -__- I don’t even know between Tsurugi and Sieg in Den-o, who is worse -__-
I had most fun watching Daisuke and Gon, but their arc was too short. After they’re gone, I was left with a-becoming-more-and-more-annoying Hiyori, was thrown at lame Tsurugi, was in a middle of a plot I don’t care about. I so want to drop this show ~_~ But I’ll try my best to finish it /_/
Gotta say I’m so glad I watched Den-o before this, apart from the weak ending, I had a blast with Den-o and really like it xD Begin to watch Kamen Rider with Kabuto would surely turn me off this series for quite some time >_>
