Twenty-one years after the disappearance of his father, Wataru Kurenai lives in an infamous "haunted house" where he is destined as Kamen Rider Kiva to fight life-draining monsters called Fangires, the very race his father fought years ago before his disappearance. Wataru must also deal with Kamen Rider Ixa who is part of an organization seeking to destroy the Fangire menace, as well as the Fangires' own Rider, Kamen Rider Saga. The story is split between the actions of Wataru in the present (2008-09) and his father Otoya in the past (1986-87), slowly revealing the link between the Fangire Race and Kiva. [wikipedia]

  I was surprised when I first started to watch this show... I have never been of fan of shows like this. I think I based that off of watching the Power Rangers as a kid. I thought it looked cheesy and childish. I was so wrong. I'm hooked now and decided to write a review since I'm re-watching it now. I'm not gonna go into complete detail but don't base this show by it's cover. It is a good show for all ages but at the same time it's not childish at all. It had a deep story line and tons of emotion. Even though the series seems long I was able to go through it so quickly because of how interesting it was.
  
  The actors were wonderfully picked and I was able to feel the pain or happiness and even anger when they expressed it. Out of all of The Kamen rider series so far, I liked Kiva the best. The costumes and effects were wonderful. The relationship between the characters is fantastic as well. The music is a little respective but in all it was good music.
  A thing that kinda stopped me from watching this in the beginning was the fact that it goes forward and back from the past and present day, it was something I wanted to take a risk on though and I found myself intrigued by both the past and present coming together.
  I definitely suggest giving this drama a try, even if it is your first Kamen Rider series.
  
  I can tell you that this show is so amazing that I'm getting a the Kiva henshin symbol tattooed on my back. You wont regret watching this!!! read more
