It was quite good. Has an interesting premise to it and the characters all seemed pretty likable. Can't wait to see where this goes.

That's the best intro episode possibly of any KR series ever. So good. It did everything it needed to do and it did it well. It established the main character, as well as his motivations, gave an intro to the supporting cast, set up the tone of the series and showed how it's different from past Rider series. If they nail the overall story, this show could be something special. Really looking forward to more.
Also helps that the fight scenes are super Kabuto-esque, which I love. Some awesome fighting. The Drive suit looks amazing in motion, even with the pretty silly tire sash. Love those headlight compound eyes. |

It was neat! Ready for Kamen Rider Mach now though.

So...it's Kiva, but with GoOnger elements, and the comedy of Den-O.
Let's take it by pieces. Main Character Plot - Rising star cop ends up killing his partner accidentally, and now has been sent down to the bottom of the class. Not wholly original, but alright. Main Storyline Plot - Monsters showing up slows down time while they can cause massive damage. Oh Den-O, we missed you. Supporting cast - Goofy underlings and a morality pet that's easy on the eyes but hard on the main character. Check. Henshin/Belt gimmick - Kiva all over again, but with the same shift shift elements that made Gaim understandable come across ham handed. The appearing Hot Wheels tracks is also a nuisance ala Den-O. Minature cars from nowhere! I don't know. It's good in some elements, and it's not like I'm gonna stop watching, but I already don't have it pegged as my favorite Rider series. If they toned down the slapstick nonsense, and the belt shut up a little, I'd be okay. As it stands, I had a serious Knight Rider vibe out of the whole thing. It's like they gave the Hoff a Rider suit. Even Trideron comes off as a red version of KITT. It's.....well at least Mach has a bike of some sort. Damn, I miss the horses.

The first scene where they introduced Kirihiko really made me think of this:

Rather good first episode. I am not gonna hold this to Gaims awesomeness, but for itself it is a good one.

I'd be more concerned if it was your favorite series after just one episode. The show will find its footing over the next few weeks; it's really too soon to call it one way or the other.

Really good first episode. I have to say the suit has grown on me now that I've seen it in action, although I still think that spoiler is goofy.
