This week, in lieu of our hosts pushing on with a show they can't stand, we get into some of the production history and career of Toshiki Inoue, the showrunner of Kamen Rider Kiva (and a writer/lead writer on multiple other things you've probably watched!) Tune in and begin seeing his dread shadow behind everything you love, just like the gothic horror of Kiva, but now in your everyday world!

A new tighter format leads to... no, nobody's having a good time this week on Kiva. But we're creeping closer to that halfway point! Maybe there's a midseason turn to save it?

The editor has seen the show and knows, and cackles.

This week is a breakthrough for all three hosts as their feelings on Kiva crystallize. Hint: by the end of the episode, they're all feeling the urge to double up on Kiva with next week's show!

This week, back to full strength, our hosts return to the world of Kiva, where they're more positive than usual.

Which isn't saying much when the episode involves phrases like "these characters are too good for Kamen Rider Kiva".

On a slightly briefer journey into darkness than usual, we cover the tragic tale of the luthier (yes that's a real word!) Ōmura, a Fangire with feelings. Watch our hosts begin to turn around on this show!

Sometimes ignorance is bliss, and that's how the boys feel as they dig deeper into this gothic Rider's series, learning terrible facts from wikis and discovering maybe the series isn't about friends, you guys.

It's about whether or not that stew was made from people or dog.

Episode 52: Cast 018 - Kiva 03-04

The boys push onwards, and begin wondering what to do about a series like Kiva.

Or a series like Zero-One. Or Zi-O. Or... Look, there's a lot on the table by the end of this episode.

Our hosts begin their journey into the gothic times and space of Kamen Rider Kiva, and remember all too late "Oh, right, whenever we switch series like this there's a lot of tangents."
