I'm weird!
But-but... this means you don't have your eyes "OPEN FOR THE NEXT FAIZ", how dare you!!
Whoohoo, super glad your first impression was great, this first ep is very much an either-you-love-it-or-you-hate-it thing as I discovered. While I finished this series relatively recently, I actually watched the first episode as a teen and my thought process at that time was basically “sweet, our main rider seems very likable, Shinji-esque, dude… uh he some sort of undead I guess…. that’s also interesting suit design, but maybe it’s just alternate form… uh we murder people now… okay, I guess he’s not the guy.” It hit me way harder upon rewatch, for some reason.
That has to be the most depressing first Kamen Rider episode, right. Not just in terms of what happened, but also the way they’re framing it—although I haven’t seen Amazons, is it the similar brand of ‘dark’? I personally loved it; it established a certain mood, an undercurrent of sorrow and longing that’s really the furthest thing I’d normally seek from a toku show, but somehow appealed to me.
And yeah, I also liked Mari immediately, just something very endearing and authentic with her ‘no-time-for-the-stupids’ vibe and overall demeanor as you noted. In general, they really did a good job in making the core characters likable and worth the emotional investment, at least to me.
About the sub, IIRC Fish Sandwich pointed out several lines that may seem okay at first glance, but either actually meant something rather different or over-simplified what the characters actually wanted to convey. But yeah, I hope he chimes in here too from time to time, I was looking for that explanation but couldn't remember where I saw it (it kinda makes me wish the forum has show-specific threads).

I want to protect your smiles

Doing well, all things considered. Just had a con-call with my office and things are looking kinda bleak (which I guess is keeping with the thread’s theme here!), but I did what I could and hopefully had taken enough safety precautions to bounce back and help my mates if/when it comes to the worst.
On a brighter note, viewing-wise I'm about to wrap up Blade and Hibiki this weekend, then move on to some Netflix shows and a Ryuki re-watch, which I'm very much looking forward to after the recent discussion!
