Eh, for my money Kamen Rider 1 (from the movie that was out more recently.) or Super-1 are my favorite designs, I like 'em simple and sweet. Skull was my absolute favorite modern design though. Fourze needed a little warming up to, and I don't care what anyone says, Ex-aid was a eye-sore. The show itself was excellent, but the suits just don't do it for me.

Dangerous Zombie is a pretty good clean-looking suit.

Dangerous Zombie obviously excepted from my previous complaints. Favorite suit from this last series, by a MILE. I love all the little details on it and it's just a great looking suit.

Episode after he slaughtered a ton of folks including Kanou, who was one of my favorites

If this is the point where he starts to become bearable idk if the half season beforehand was worth it

He never becomes likable, redeemed or anything but a monster and I'm glad he and Iyu both died horribly. S2 of Amazons was... not great. It did whiz a lot of the goodwill that S1 generated for me.

I couldn't sleep last night so I wrapped it up. I agree. Show didn't even let me watch Alpha/Omega finish the job. Shame

On a more positive note though, Build is looking like it will be a lot of fun.

Agreed, Build has me invested already, hopefully it'll keep the momentum going.

This week's Build continues to knock it out of the park. I'm really digging this series so far.

Build is a great protagonist, pure and noble like we haven't ever seen in a Kamen Rider for a while now. Banjou continues to be excellent and his rider journey is going to be grand. And the villains are pure unadulterated evil, just doing it because they're dicks, not because their mom died or sister is sick or because they love the city or whatever. It's the best modern Kamen Rider, and if this is the ultra-neo-heisei way, then I'm all for it.

Best suit in a while too, glad it hasn't whizzed it down its leg yet. There were definite signs by this time in both Ghost and that one that lovely Wizard season.

Then Gaim is actually up your alley, give that a shot after Agito!

I loved everything about the new Power Ranger movie and felt it hit everything I ever wanted out of a US reimagining of Toku. Which is actually pretty hard because Toku really relies on how "baked in" it is to japanese culture. Strip all that out and what's left is Henshin, Kaiju and Shouted Super Attacks.

get the gently caress out.

most riders have a transformation gadget storage on their hips, they can only carry two or three at a time, but they're there.

Unless they're too manly like most of the showa riders and don't need no fancy form switches to beat some rear end.

I'm sure that Hongo would find some way to take it away from them and beat them to death with it anyway.

I feel like some of you are watching a completely different show than me because Sougo is a pretty compelling protagonist once the writers actually let him breathe. He's a calculating manipulator, charismatic, hilarious when he fucks around with Geiz and Woz, and honestly kind of an rear end in a top hat like his future self. He's so much more interesting and likable than happy-go-lucky boring as hell Rider protagonists like Takeru, Emu, and Kouta. The mirror world bit where he admits to his mirror self that he's a terrible person and gains Zi-O II was actually one of the most unique moments in Heisei Rider.

Sure, he's not as cool and fun to watch as Sento, Gentaro, or Shotaro... but what do you expect? Most Rider protagonists aren't!

Aha, that presumption is why! I dropped the show after about episode 5 or so, where no one had any personality to speak of and picked it up again around where the robot rider showed up. (Who I instantly liked better and would have preferred watching) but it's just not clicking with me at all.

Ghost really wasn't that bad. The characters were all likeable or at the very least bland. They weren't actively irritating like shunpei and gremlin. I think that ghost gets a lot more hate than it deserves because it was sandwiched between two of the best riders in the era and its only sin was being merely OK.

Wizard has no loving excuse.

Gremlin is one of the few entertaining characters in Wizard next to occasional sass Haruto, Nitou and Phoenix. Everyone else is pretty much bland or so one-dimensional they might as well be cardboard cutouts.
