I think we've got a good one on our hands bois. This episode gave me major Fourze vibes and that's always a good thing, and I liked that the perspectives of the AIMS agents was kept separate from Aruto and I hope they do it more in the future.
Aruto seems like he could be a pretty good protagonist depending how they handle him in the future. I was pretty iffy on him for most of the episode, but his immediate decision to turn down the role of president and the little gachan he did when he opened the Attache Calibur sold me on him. Vice pres seems like a chump, Izu seems okay but her constant use of Auto-sama like it'll get annoying, Vulc and Valk seem like they could have some nice chemistry in the future, Horobi is Enter but a lot less creepy, and Jin is someone you wouldn't even touch with a 39 and a half foot pole. Now I've got major questions about stuff they hinted at. Did a Hiden satellite explode or crash or something to make the metsubojinrai hideout, are Horibi and Jin insane Humagear or people who grew up there. What's the deal with that proto-Humagear little aruto was with. I Aruto twisting his ankle gonna end up mattering, or was it just for comedic effect. Can I get the grass-hopper as it's own toy? Now that action, that action was crisp, clean and just nut worthy. The henshin sequence by itself is amazing with the hopper jumping around getting hyped up, but the suit in action is just so good. The camera work was also pretty great, especially the scene of 01 backfliping and making a perfect arc. And that finisher, that finisher is just so good, the simplicity of the kick is really just amplified by the fact that 01 knocks them into the air before doing it. Overall really good first ep and it's got me hyped.

Tencent Chinese sub translation uploaded at 11 am GMT +8 .
My comment after watched episode 1 : Yuya Takahashi writing style on opening story really no change a lot if compared to his previous work on ex aid episode 1. Just different company, different genre, different characters, and different rider eqs. Don't believe? Try to compare after English sub uploaded. Last edited by Mighty X; 09-01-2019 at 12:19 AM.. |

Also I know a lot of people are comparing Jin to Parad because, Ex-Aid Writer.
But I don't know he strikes me as more childish than Parad was, kinda like Kai from Den-O, especially with the very carefree sadistic/insane nature he has, just shooting a defective grunt in the head like that. |

Like almost every Kamen Rider opening episode, I need to see more before judging it. I just hope that I don't have to hear Aruto screaming with his ear piercing shrieks.

Solid Episode 1. I liked it for the most part.
Like some people said, the comedic parts were lame sometimes, but I can't hide that some of them worked for me. The simple ones like when Izu throws the case in Aruto's face always make me laugh. speaking of Izu, she is way more expressive than I expected after seeing the trailers. I like it more now. I didn't expect Isamu and Yua to have that kind of relationship at the start. I thought Isamu would be determined but not necessarily reckless, and I expected him to be a bit more "close" to Yua, but in this first ep he is more like the hot blooded guy who don't listen to her. This first fight scene was really cool and you can definitely see they wanted it to be memorable and fun to watch. That Jin scene though. So many emotions went through my head : Confusion : why is a humagear attacking Jin, presumably a humagear too (metsubojinrai are humans ?) Creepy fun : Jin beating up this humagear without looking at it and laughing like a kid Shocked : Jin actually pulling a REAL gun out, not a toy, to headshot at point blank the humagear. Phew. I think the fact he is laughing all the time is going to be fun to see him interact with Aruto who want to make people laugh. Speaking of which, that's why I found this episode solid. The show already managed to explain to us what is different with this world AND give us elements of Aruto's past to explain WHY he wants to make people laugh and I didn't feel overwhelmed by informations (Take this in your face Zi-O. that's how you're supposed to do). He is supposed to be a humagear modeled after Aruto's father after the latter passed away Passed away my ass though. Kamen Rider had too many daddy issues in the recent years to make me believe that. I'm already ready to bet his dad is the big bad and Aruto's end goal will be trying to make his vilain dad laugh the same way Aruto tried to make his "Humadad" laugh.

First Observation: Looks like there was a early satellite that crashed and that area is quarantined with the remains being used by our antagonists. Zero 1 is a nice refresh as far as belts go, nice and straight forward without having to insert two or three different thing into the driver. I like the characters but need proper subs to really understand them of course. And that Jam-Project..... So sweet.

Kinda glad I didn't watch Ex-Aid since its Ex-Aid's writer writing this.
This episode grew on me more than 1st episode of Zi-O too. Loving this so far. |

Forgot to mention in my post that I also like the fact there are already plot elements around the belt itself.
It seems to be designed and created automatically after the death of Korenosuke, which implies that appointing his grandson as the next CEO is part of a plan to make him use it and be a kamen rider to fight his foreseen humagear rampage (I guess ? not sure without subs but the scene when they are reading the letter and we see an evil humagear swarm make me think so). And also the fact the belt comes with a tutorial somehow. I guess it won't explain how suddenly a goofy teen can fight like a pro, but at least we know how he knows how to use the belt and is not omniscient all of a sudden. |

I'll reserve my judgement till we hit the 2nd arc, the first arc is usually the roughest to get through the "Buy Our Toys" part of the show.
But right now I'm just, eh on it? The comedic parts might grow on me but like, eh it wasn't bad but it wasn't mind blowing either. I will say though, I am so happy we're no longer in an anniversary season and we can just have a somewhat back to basics Rider. Already dreading the Zero-One x Zi-O movie but eh that's another 3 months away before I have to really start to worry about that. |
