Since there wasn't a thread here before, there is now...

I just started watching this series, and am liking it so far.

What are the opinions of others on this series?

"Just a passing through Kamen Rider, remember that!"

Starts slooooooooooow. But after about 10 eps, radness ensues. One of my favorite T-N shows.

This is my favorite Chou Sei Shin series out of the three. I wish they did more shows like this though. I loved the costumes, the music, and the fight choreography. I have the first Courage CD, but I can't find the Shirogane theme for the life of me. I've been trying forever! If anyone has this, or knows where I can get it, I would very much appreciate it. I had a short video I wanted to use this in with a fight scene.

I was really happy with how this series developed. I was ultimately disappointed with how Gransazer turned out, but I think they took what worked in that series and improved upon it. The core cast was a good size - I never lost track of the important characters and it was a treat whenever one of the recurring minor characters popped up. The Gransazer cameos were pretty neat, too.

The weakest part of the series was still the mecha battles for me. They weren't as boring as Gransazer's, but I'm puzzled why it was so hard for them to keep my attention.

Overall, I thought there was good fluidity in the plot and a nice balance between the main storyline, humor and romance. Very enjoyable.

Maybe you should watch some of it first, since you don't really bring anything to the conversation at this point

I mean, why necro a thread to tell people you're going to watch it? How is that interesting for people to read?

This series felt like a step down from Gransazer, the characters weren't that impressive despite the cast being shrunk down to the typical Sentai team, the Justirisers development as character's just really didn't seem all that strong, it's like they'd give one of the character's some interesting development one episode than a couple episodes later just out of nowhere completely negate that development by doing something that goes completely against what was established. The villains really weren't that impressive after Hadess was revived, I guess I was kinda hoping he was going to be the penultimate villain in the series, but they ended up bringing him out early and just made him a token villain, & the guys after him were just more of the same.

The stuff I did enjoy was mainly the modular design of the Justiriser's mech, kinda disappointed that they didn't use the modular design to it's fullest advantage for strategic reasons. The monster suit designs for most of the monsters were impressive, I really loved the last one Megarion damn was that suit impressive looked like a updated Moguera for the Millennium G-Series.

Overall I think there was potential in series, that just wasn't utilized to it's fullest.
