I've only seen maybe 4-5 episodes of W, but if this movie is any indication of the show, I might start watching it again. The only part is, Akiko seems a little annoying and useless. But then again, I have little tolerance for hyperactive obnoxious characters who mug every chance they get. That said, Shoutarou and Phillip seem really cool.
Decade's movie, however...
This is a perfect example of why I think Decade, as a show, was disappointing. It answers a few question (like how Professor Shinigami and Natsuki's grandpa are one in the same), but raises a bunch more. For instance, what was Yuusuke's deal? At the end of Decade, he was bitten by Kivara and it looked like he was brainwashed, but it seems he's still in his right mind in this movie. Yet he still has the dark eyes for Ultimate form, and says that he's "become a devil to kill a devil." Dude, no you haven't You didn't "become a devil" by choice, so why are you implying you did? And what was Tackle's deal? I can kind of understand why she partnered with Decade, and it seemed like the writers wanted to give Tackle a little resolution, since, from what I've seen, she wasn't treated very fairly in Stronger. But she didn't kill Wasp Lady, and yet she said she found her place in the world. .....Care to elaborate that for us, Yuriko?
The final thing was the whole reason he was meant to travel. It was something about the Riders being forgotten (YOU'RE NOT FREDDY KRUEGER! JUST BECAUSE SOMEONE IS FORGOTTEN DOESN'T MEAN THEY DON'T EXIST), so Tsukasa had to...visit them so he could take pictures of them, kill them, and then, because he took those picture, everybody comes back to life and is fine?! A) These guys saved their respective worlds, and some of them even became pseudo-celebrities, so were they really in danger of being "forgotten?" B) How exactly would killing them help them to not be forgotten? Are they Jimi Hendrix? C) Tsukasa was the one who helped all of them resolve their stories. So if he hadn't come along in the first place, would any of this even be neccessary?
Overall, it was a disappointing end to a disappointing series that, as I said, got too caught up in fanservice to tell its own story, and also switched out head writers halfway through the series, which resulted in a confusing story at that.
Halfway through the movie, when Wataru said that Decade had no story , the first thing I said was "I knew it!"
