So I just started on Kamen Rider W. "SHOTARO I'VE MADE AN AMAZING DISCOVERY YOU'VE NEVER HEARD OF! TAKOYAKI!"

I wanna hug Phillip so bad.

EDIT: Six episodes in and my urge to hug Phillip is only becoming stronger. He's mega cute. Not sure what I think of the two part structure (it's my first exposure to it). The first two pairs of episodes worked together pretty well, but the whole "there's ANOTHER IDENTICAL MONSTER" of episodes 5/6 felt kinda forced and a bit lame. Phillip saved the plot at least by being cool as heck.

Akiko never really chills out but she gets context and does some pretty cool things and that helps put her over a bit.

This avatar is lacking a certain something, don't you think? IT'S MISSING YOUR SCREAMS, TRANSFER STUDENT!
I readily admit to hating the poo poo out of Akiko when I first started watching (and the first half of the Sweets arc is basically her at her most obnoxious for me -- the second half, she's pretty cool) but over time I've mellowed out on her, especially after learning her background.
I guess going from hate to love is a W fan's rite of passage, considering just how many people I've talked to have felt the same way.

I liked Akiko the whole time through. v:shobon:v

Besides, the real 'hate into love' character in W is Terui Ryu.

Also pay attention to these two any time they're together on screen. There's a plot point that a lot of people think just comes out of nowhere but they do spend some time in the background of shots to make it make a bit more sense.

Yeah, I'm going with the consensus. Akiko was annoying at the start, but around the mid teens or so, I started getting used to her. She's a great character and a great part of the Narumi Detective Agency.

Considering that Narutaki is there, you can blame all continuity problem on Decade. As it should be.

If you're currently watching Gaim, catch up first. Kouta makes use of stuff introduced in the latest episode.

If you aren't than it shouldn't matter, it's easy enough to follow.

I just started watching. I'm about three episodes in. I guess I can put off watching TQG for a couple of weeks.

I swear this is the first time I actually liked Narutaki. If Toei will keep not telling us who the hell he is while having him pop up in every crossover ever for no reason other than his rampant hate for Decade, then please, let him keep the puppet.

Have mine. Kabuto's a goddamn trainwreck, and not the entertaining kind. Sad, because I love the suits and most of the secondary Riders, but the series completely derails...by episode 30, if I don't badly remember, and never recovers, it can never decide if we're meant to take Tendou as a fun exaggeration of a perfect character or a true, godly perfect character that everyone should love despite being an rear end in a top hat to literally everyone except his family, and the Natives are boring as hell.

Ah, the Dark Kitchen two-parter. Tendou cooks far less food after that, which is part of the decline in Kabuto's quality. But it's helped by having the bosom BDSM brothers, PunchHopper and KickHopper.

He's Diend. Dude keeps talkin poo poo, dislikes Decade, occasionally starts villainous poo poo, and is probably a costume/disguise for someone else. Narutaki is Diend.

Pretty much me. I haven't gotten around to any Vs movies yet but I'm loving seeing everything mashed together. Are they usually people from the Rider side not knowing what to make of the Sentai? The scene where Takatora says a giant robot is ridiculous was such an obvious joke but I still laughed.

Agreed.

As someone who's only tried Gaim, though, the last... ten? minutes or so were a bit baffling. I assume I'm supposed to be lost there?

If I'm not up to date on ToQger, is it worth watching if I'm up to date on Gaim? Or can I safely put it on the backburner until then.
