Out of curiosity (since I saw the pics a while ago, but don't watch the show)--how are KatoKei and Setomaru's characters connected in Kiva? *confused*

[mousapelli.livejournal.com]

Seto Koji is the main character of Kiva, Wataru, who's totally meek and lets everybody steamroll over him, and he's the one who transforms into Kiva to kill monsters, although nobody knows that.

Keisuke plays Nago, who is a bounty hunter who joins the group that officially fights the monsters, but his real goal is to destroy Kiva, who he thinks is a threat to humanity. So he runs into Kiva a lot during fights, but doesn't know Wataru is Kiva.

Wataru essentially falls in love with Nago on sight, and begs Nago to take him on as a pupil so that Wataru can learn to be badass too. Trufax: when Megumi says she needs the perfect man, Wataru's response is "AH! you mean NAGO-SAN!"

[karadin.livejournal.com]

Seto just cries out for it, doesn't he? :D

[mousapelli.livejournal.com]

god, he really does. my favorite exchange of all time was:

Wataru: "Nago-san's amazing!"
Nago: "Say it louder."
Wataru: "NAGO-SAN'S AMAZING!"
Nago: *smug*

Trufax: when Megumi says she needs the perfect man, Wataru's response is "AH! you mean NAGO-SAN!"
:: I could NOT stop LOL-ing that the first person Wataru thought of who fit this particular "perfect man" description is NAGO.

I'm trying to get caught up with Kiva now. Which might take a while since I think I only watched 1.5 episodes before. *g*

[mousapelli.livejournal.com]

29 just came out today and i've been lurking in wait for it for DAYS. GOD SO GOOD.

it's a little more, ooh pretty boy and crack good than Kabuto, but at this point I'm hard enough in love with it that i don't care at all, lol.

[prillalar]

I confess, it's the excessive prettiness that puts me off -- but the story looked good so I'm hoping that will make up for it. I kind of want to re-watch KR Agito soon too -- some of those guys were downright funny looking. :D

[daisy-chan.livejournal.com]

I haven't seen this, BUT I'LL DEFINITELY GO FIND IT NOW *__*

[mousapelli.livejournal.com]

YOU DEF SHOULD YO.

Kamen Rider Kabuto also very worth watching. See icon.

[daisy-chan.livejournal.com]

I SHALL.

Yeah, Maxine got me to watch the first couple of episodes a while ago. It was fun! I really should get back to it...

[kira-shadow.livejournal.com]

I just watched 29 + 30
XD

omg Nago and Wataru taking a bath together...
Nago is so PALE tho D:

[mousapelli.livejournal.com]

i just watched 29. WATARU SO ADORABLE.

ahahaha, the bath scene was in the previews for next time. CAN'T WAIT.

[kira-shadow.livejournal.com]

you'll like 30
XDD

shocking revelations await you *muahaha* but I won't spoil

[chiharu.livejournal.com]

Is that Seto Koji? :O

[mousapelli.livejournal.com]

indeed it is! he's SO CUTE OMG.

[jain]

That is a very persuasive argument. :-)

[aliquot.livejournal.com]

Great post XD A++++

[katsu.livejournal.com]

Sadly, I never find the time to sit down and watch kiva. T_T *is still amazed that she managed to finish Gekiranger* And I haven't watched Go-Onger since eps. 5 or 6 ether. D: *FAIL*

[flyby311.livejournal.com]

I-I need to find this. Now. D:

[mousapelli.livejournal.com]

TV-Nihon (http://tvnihon.com/) :)

[flyby311.livejournal.com]

<333!

[venivincere]

DAMN that is hot. I'm sooooo downloading right now. *melts*

[illuminations.livejournal.com]

Um. Okay. :|||||

[mousapelli.livejournal.com]

is that an "um okay i'm dling right now" or an "um okay what kind of crack did mousie smoke today"?

I just want to be prepared for all eventualities.

[illuminations.livejournal.com]

Definitely the former. Except I'm at Beth's so I can't d/l RIGHT NOW, but I will asap. I don't even care what this series is about.

[mousapelli.livejournal.com]

*beams* That's the sort of attitude we like to hear around here! I promise you lots of action like this:

[illuminations.livejournal.com]

slkdjf oh, Japan.

Is there anywhere that I can torrent or d/l this one ep at a time? Torrenting 4GB of episodes at once just sounds like too much work.

[mousapelli.livejournal.com]

You can't tell your little torrenty program which files to download? You need a different one, my friend. I use Azureus, and it asks me right when i drop it on there, which do i want to dl.

barring that, 19-29 is all in singles on the TV-Nihon site. For earlier ones, usually when i want one in particular, i either look in the forum there because somebody usually throws each release up on MU as they come out and most of them are probably still active.

this (http://loadingvault.com/search.php?q=kamen+rider+kiva&type=0&domain=1&types=on) also looks pretty helpful.

[illuminations.livejournal.com]

I lied! I figured it out right after when I started utorrent and then proceeded to facepalm a lot.

So it's downloading right now, except Minneapolis uses Comcast, meaning they like to do bad things to torrents. :\ So uh, I might end up using that MU link anyway. Thank you!

[mousapelli.livejournal.com]

yay! mine used to be hidden in some crazy place, yeah.

Really? I have comcast, and I don't notice any problem. I mean, the speeds aren't OMG AMAZING, but they never were, so I use the MU links whenever I can too.

Feel free to flail while watching. and work on marks! I'm trying to get her to catch up, she's at like 5.

Also the massive amounts of GHEI, but well. YOU KNOW.

[hibimaosuki.livejournal.com]

I am writing fic!

... Only it's in the Keisuke/Seto context and not the Nago/Wataru context. Harhar. ^^;

[mousapelli.livejournal.com]

that is totally close enough for me.

[hibimaosuki.livejournal.com]

I think I love you. XDDD

[bloodybrilliant.livejournal.com]

Someone really needs to write this Nago/Wataru SOON AUGH. *_* I NEED THIS.

[cityatsea.livejournal.com]

*____* I ditched Kiva for Kabuto like 4 eps in due to lack of perceivable gay; REMEDYING THAT DECISION NOW, HOLY CRAP.

[amazonstorm.livejournal.com]

*flails*

SLASHY GOODNESS IN MY KIVA......

OMG, can I FRIEND you know? This and the fic that was apparently spawned proved to me that you would make an AWESOME friend.

[mousapelli.livejournal.com]

sure thing, go for it~ Glad you enjoyed it.
