upcoming series Kamen Rider Wizard - september 2012

[odin]

well....the series is over, sorta, wizard's main story is over but there are still 2 more episodes left where decade and other heisei riders will make an appearance. I will give a quick review of the series, the series started very promising, the designs where well done as well as the choreography and the magic theme had a lot of potential but as soon as transformation rings started to appear and phoenix got rider kick to the sun the started started to struggle, this is due to the villains not being threatening at all, they did not get to turn anybody into a phantom and thus removed any tension of the series since you expect the hero will always wins and he does which is boring, after all the hero is only as good as the villain. The supporting cast is even worse, shunpei being the worst offender since they give him finally something to do at the very end of the series which could have served for great story plots if used from the beginning, preventing so much freaking filler episodes. The final fight against the 2 big bads where underwhelming to say the least specially the final fight against

gremlin

where wizard got owned without even putting up a fight although you could say that was his intention so he could get him to lower his defenses but I digress. The series even though it is 53 episode long it felt stretched out and rushed at the same time if that makes sense, it is as if the writers where struggling on what to do the series and did a lot of plot points that got nowhere, made no sense or the payoff was lackluster. Overall the series is a perfect example of a lot of flash and no substance, the worst rider series I have seen so far and would not recommend at all and i doubt the final 2 episodes will change my opinion.

 

 

Final rating: 6/10
