    I honestly don't understand the Akiko hate (not just from you guys but from the whole fandom).
    Sure she was annoying in the first few episodes but as the show went on she became a bigger part of the 'family' and showed dedication to her job like her father would. Maybe its just because I didn't know anything about the show going on so no one 'warned me' about her so I didn't already expect to hate her, or maybe its because W is still one of my favorites.
    But to be fair it is your opinion and you are entitled to it, keep up the great work guys can't wait to see more videos!

      I personally don't like Akiko it's because she don't have likable traits, she's more like a kid than an adult. I thought when she knew about how her father died would changed her, but nope, she stayed pretty much the same in the show.

      Crab Stomp Actually, it kind of did as soon as we got to Movie War CORE. Remember why she had an issue about why everyone she know is a Kamen Rider in the movie?! It's because her father was also a rider this who,e and she didn't even knew about it until Movie War 2010. But, now Sokichi is dead and he made a promise to her that on the day of her wedding, he would walk her down the aisle, herself. But, sadly, he had that Spider Bomb inside of him and if he gets close to Akiko, she dies. So, in way, Akiko was dealing with a despair, lonliness and sadness about her father's death in Movie War CORE. It's just that you had to put up with all that other nonsense of Akiko behaving like a child throughout tne show, until W's portion of Movie War CORE. Also, Akiko did actually learned from her own mistakes and incompetence in the show. It's just her own way of growing more as a character, than her being all mopey and angsty and bruty about her father's death if that what's you want in her character.

      She had a couple of good moments. In that Sweets Dopant episode, she tries her best to be a detective (a bad one) like her father. She seems to be jealous at Shotato for being like her father and knowing him personally since she barely knows her father. And though she had some dumbest moments on being a detective, she still never gave up. And there was a moment where she stood up for her client like Shouichi. That is one of my favorite Akiko moments.

    Yeah, I don't think Akiko is quite so bad. She's useless, sure, but she's hilarious and a great foil for Shoutarou. She's not nearly as cute as she thinks she is, but that's part of her humor!

  • @xgray2012
    @xgray2012 7 років тому +6

    I have to disagree with you guys about Akiko's character. I mean, sure she was annoying in the first few episodes, but she actually grew as a character later on and was dedicated to her job as the new chief of the Narumi detective agency, because that's the kind of person her father would want her to be.

  • @iansmith1768
    @iansmith1768 7 років тому +3

    How did you guys not mention Shizuka in Kiva.She is the most irrelevant character in that show.She starts off as Wataru's babysitter but once he grows a pair and stops being a meek little baby,she completely disappears from the show.And that whole storyline about her trying to breakup Wataru and Mio's relationship came out of nowhere,and it felt like they were trying to shoehorn another pointless love triangle into the show.The worst part about her as a character is the fact that we never really find out who she even is,as far as we know she's just some chick that takes care of Wataru for some reason.

    • @iansmith1768
      @iansmith1768 7 років тому

      Dragon XZero Basically In the first 11 to 14 episodes of Kiva there was this "character" who's sole purpose in the show was to babysit Wataru.When the focus of the story started to shift and Wataru started to get more development, Shizuka (the forgettable character in question)completely disappeared from the show.She only made two appearances after this point; one appearance during the Mio introductory arc ( where she is shown having a crush on Wataru that's never mentioned ever again) and a brief cameo in the finale.My reasoning for hating this "character" is due to her pointlessness in the story,and much the writers tried to make her the main heroine of show.Even though all the other women in the show were better suited for that role.
