It was really better than I had thought it would be, in large part due to the incredible acting of all concerned*. In a lot of TV adaptations of manga, there is so much overacting that it becomes insufferable. This time, characters that had seemed unbelievable became very human and believable. I wis...

So I started the anime because of your live sub, but I have only 2 eps left and hardly any of the Jellyfish fashion shows/Kai Fish elements have happened. Are they manga threads or something unique to this version? I'm digging in anime, and there are a few approaches that are clearer there, but I t...

Did you ever find the lyrics? I wonder if they are with the OST DVD.

Hmm, Kuranosuke was about as clear as Japanese storytelling gets that he loves Tsukimi. I'm really OK with them being into each other, because they grow from each other, and because they are both emotionally invested in Jellyfish Designs. Plus, Kuranosuke isn't going to stick around. He's off to NYC...

I guess packing the entirety of the manga run into 10 episodes makes for a bit of a mess, but it is still pretty coherent. Actually, a lot more coherent than I expected. I think that Kai Fish is the main victim of the condensed pace, but I don't have any ideas how they could have done any better at ...

< Prev Ep Wiki Article Next Ep> Alt title - Revelations Seto Koji sure is skinny. What's his secret? Seto said he only ate one meal a day, so I guess that the secret is fasting. And it was while filming Bushimeshi 2. He is always thin, but he lost 6 kg for this role. And I can see maybe losing that...

Thanks for translating the radio show. I really enjoyed it. I already knew quite a bit about Wada's background, but it was great to learn more about the true identities of Blue and Yellow. There's no comparing this with Healing Princess. This is a real, completely unscripted radio show. I look forwa...

Oh, how I loved Kiva. Before Kiva, I could take or leave Kamen Rider. After Kiva, Decade nearly convinced me to stop bothering again. W brought back a lot of what I loved in Kiva: character development, blurring of boundaries between sides, strong female characters, and the primary themes of friends...

It's a non-profit agency that loans money at low interest to very poor people so they can do things like buy a foot-powered sewing machine so they can make clothes for sale. It's actually just the sort of thing Kiva would do if he got interested in banking instead of violins. Anyone can make the loa...

Main Riders? Tsukasa. I hated every moment of him. He was a Marty Stu who never got past being a Marty Stu.

Secondary Riders: Kusaka, of course.

There was only one Kiva, and that was Wataru. The other two were Dark Kiva. As for which of the three I liked best, it would be Wataru, followed by Taiga and then Otoya. Wataru because he doesn't want to fight but does it anyways because he wants to protect people (and Fangires, too, when possible) ...

reitantei wrote:I think Koji Seto (kiva) sings pretty well. Actually, I like Koji more as a singer than as an actor.

There's a unique quality about his voice, and he seems to be able to sing in any style, and to sing well without studio recording enhancements. It's really quite a talent.

Since when where i complaining? I just said i would like to see what would happen after. It was not like i did type "WTF, WHY IS IT LIKE THAT, THAT'S FUCKING DUMB, DUMBASS KAMEN RIDER DIRECTORS" Did i type something like that? No, so u just complaind at me for no reason at all <3 Hey, Riz...

Final 3 Kiva ep director's cut? lol I wish! Oh, how I wish! I suppose it is best that Kiva ended like it did, with the prospect of new enemies. In the US, I'm sure there would have been a second season, or a spin-off. I can see it now: "Everybody Loves Wataru": Wataru, Taiga, and Maya all...

It's my favorite, too. I love the character development and the relationships between the characters. I only wish there could have been more episodes to explore them in. There are others that have better direction or cinematography, but I always like character-driven shows.
