Kind of liked this one better than the last one.

Spoiler
Ha, I knew that lady was just a gold digger!

Construction and Transvestite Otoya, LOL

Mari is the center of a love triangle? That's... novel...

Wataru rinsing himself off! Oh wait, not a girl

Did the monster-of-the-two-weeks even bother to move his store? It seems like it had the same name too. How did he avoid the hunters for 22 years...

Kivat: "Oh gee, turns out we have a magic tool with an eye that allows us to see invisible enemies. Good thing too!"

I like the continuation of the theme "everyone in Kiva is an asshole" with Otoya throwing Jirou's ring away XD

So is Mari a regular now? I kind of like that, she's a good foil for Wataru actually. I hope Kengo doesn't throw dirt on Wataru again though...

Wow, take, you added this thread a bit early, eh?

It was okay...I don't know. Kiva's still boring the hell out of me, but I keep holding on to some hope it will get better.

I don't know WHAT it is about Kiva, but, I'm just not really feeling it. Otoya always seems to steal the show. >.>;; I wish it was just about him. XD

Yeah, I write my comments when I watch the show or while I'm translating. Otherwise I get to the release point and don't have anything to say

it's good to see Yuria Haga again, 5 years after she starred in 555.
She still look's as good as ever! :oops:

Spoiler
I LoL at Otoya this epsiode, not only did he fall for a obvious golddigger, he dresses up in a 250,000 yen dress. :P

Poor Jirou, got rejected :roll:

Actually, Otoya doesn't look bad in a dress, huh?
XD

Somehow, that weapon of Frankie's looked somewhere awkward. It's like having a heavy weapon look better being used in a movie or anime because you can use it to its full potential.

I am surprised Kengo didn't fight back due to his explosive nature. Well, he's a good guy, I guess.


Chuckled at Nago acting shocked by a girl actually touching him.

Wow... Nago was all lovey-dovey. I thought he was gay all along.

I liked the idea of WataruxMio, but it was kind of weird in this ep. o_O It wasn't really convincing, but my interest raised considerably when the invisible fangire dude hesitated to kill Mio and didn't finish his sentence. Well, it's good to see that she's still alive. For now, the count is 2 eps.

and LOL at the fangire for the "GEEh OTOKO?!" XD He was all serious and menacing at the beginning. Even the suspense music stopped playing. XD Otoya in stockings. Hm. Me like.

I know whenever I usually post I say something negative, but not this time. One of the things I do like about the show is that they have minor recurring characters such as Kengo and Mio.

Spoiler
Further, I'm really hoping they have something good in store with Mio, esp. in light of the Fangire's comments. He obviously knew who she was, at least when he was paying attention to her as food and not just "customer". Maybe she's a Fangire or maybe even have some ties to the Checkmate 4 (just a gut feeling that she's more tied to the bad guys). So I really hope this plays out well.

Me too. I do think there's something up with her...

I once tried to make Okonomiyake, it did not turn out well.
Also, I'm surprised Mio survived the episode.

Yoh, new guy. Been watching Kiva from the start, thought I'd finally join.

I don't see a problem with the pace of the series. It is kinda confusing how things seem to jump around, I'm hoping all the loose ends will be tied up in the end. Anyways!

Spoiler
Since I'm a romantic sap, seeing Wataru and Mio get's me all fuzzy and crap. After watching the bizzare turn of events in Kabuto, it'd be nice to see a Rider acctually forge a relationship. But she's probably a Fangire...

On that note, if she is a Fangire, then does she know it? I get a funny feeling that she would, like the Frog Fangire who just wanted to live peacefully. A Fangire who's too timid to feed on people, perhaps? Maybe gaining confidence from Wataru will backfire on him? Who knows? All I know is Kengo better not get all pissed at Wataru. For a little while, I was hoping he'd become IXA...

And apparently the Otoya/Jirou/Yuri issue was enough of a distraction for Mr. Chameleon to hide. For 22 years. In plain sight.

Well, Yuria Haga is listed in the regular cast page at the Kiva website, so I presume she'll stay around for a long[?] time...

And now, it's EP22 for me, later

If true, that would kick ass.

I Loved her as Mari in Fiaz.
Though she and Tak-Kun should have hooked up (well for all we know they did after the series).
Spoiler
Well, they did seem to have a more romantic relationship in the movie, but since it`s Non-Cannon it mean diddly squat.

Ok, it is true.

is just amended the Kiva Wikipedia page to reflect that (i also reworked the Shizuka bio to make more sense).

What? No cliffhanger ending? Ridiculous!


Otherwise, this was a cool episode. Both arcs were fun to watch, and Otoya seems to look good in anything.


Is it just me, or did Yuri just sort of fall for the idiot?


Otoya stealing the show doesn't have to be a bad thing though. I mean, we all know the main character of Kabuto was really Kagami.
