Scared Rider Xechs

A super sentai anime series that ran during the past summer, this 12 episode series looked promising from it`s synopsis.

Looked being the key word...

Plot (from MAL)

The Blue World, which symbolizes reason, is under constant attack by the creatures called the Nightfly O'Note originating from the Red World, symbolizing instinct. Akira Asagi, the 17-year-old protagonist who is a researcher at Blue World, is nominated to lead the war at Ryuukyuu LAG, a proud defense facility on the islands of Ishigaki and Iriomote. She meets the sixth combat unit "IS," which was formed four years after a fierce battle that annihilated the fifth unit. Akari must lead these six riders, also called the Scared Rider Xechs, to fight against the other world while at the same time deepening the relationship among them.

Opinion

Beugh.  This wasn`t a good series at all.  So we end up with a boysband being last line of defence for Earth which is being invaded.  To be honest, I thought it was terrible, the pilot was a bit fun with the fire elemental bonded to main hero, and the action showed promise... but it quikcly went downhill after that. 

Episode 4 onwards I really needed to struggle to get through the remaining episodes... time wasted.
