First half of Kiva was great, it was the second half where it felt like everything fell apart in the absolute worst ways. The romance subplot in both the past and current times were undone in a bizarre way, the final villains (his dad and brother), were awkwardly introduced, and the final fight made me appreciate Kuuga's cutaway. Its also a shame they weren't able to use the base suit after a certain point due to the back troubles it caused the suit actor. I do get the love for old jank games though. There's also the rare moment where you find something with such a good idea and passion that it transcends the jank. Those are always the best.

And the humor was definitely a huge positive in Gao. The fourth wall joke where the announcer couldnt think of a name for a Gaoking combination and Red awkwardly looked off screen then just gave it a random name had me legit cracking up. Really, a lot of the humor felt ahead of its time.

My bad, I was checking Takegami's writing credits and I saw that he worked on quite a few Deka episodes and mistook him as the lead writer.
