The "authorize" and "turns to a rider kick" parts of the Driver sounded great; too bad they then had to do the absurd singing voices in the middle. Sounds like each Progrise Key calls out the key's listed ability name. I think I might actually want to pick up one of the DX keys, although naturally, they'll make it nearly impossible to obtain without purchasing the Driver.
Henshin pose is super-elaborate, alas; I kinda wish we could go back to something a little less exaggerated. We had a streak of relatively natural poses, and then Gaim happened, and now, we can't have nice things. (I like elaborate toku poses when it's Sentai; it just bugs me in Rider.) I watched most of the conference but, y'know. I'm not actually fluent in Japanese. Sounds like the second of the two terrorist-villains is Horobi. I didn't catch the name of the other; could he be Jin? I'm really, really glad we got the extended trailer that actually gives us a good sense of the series. There's some really nice built-in tension in the premise. Presumably, AIMS takes a hard-line stance against hacked AIs. Oh, and our hero's close ally is an AI? Yeah, I can see where that's going. That it's Ex-Aid's head writer is very promising: he made the best of an uninspired theme and gave us a number of seriously memorable moments. This already sounds like a stronger theme from which to build. I'm very pleased by Kamen Rider Valkyrie's inclusion at the outset of the series. This is the most prominent a female Rider has been so far (at least on the TV show), isn't it? That sword prop is sickening in the best way. The Progrise keys are the coolest collectible widget in a long, long time. Reminds me of Lock Seeds, but look less blatantly like kids' toys. I'm actually liking the in-action suit a little less than the static images we've seen, but it'll most likely grow on me. I'm now looking forward to this show more than usual for a new Rider. This is just looking promising in a way I haven't really experienced since I started following the show. |

I like the premise of human-AI robots that can be hacked (lol those Chobit/To Heart's Multi ears). I like the designs. I like the characters. The only thing that can really screw this up is the stupid comedy that completely destroys any semblance of weight or gravitas. That one scene in the trailer where he does that exaggerated expression when it's revealed he's the CEO of the company has me worried, but otherwise, the trailer looks promising.

More infos on Hiden Aruto (I don't like the 1st part...)
Hiden Aruto - Kamen Rider Zero-One: In order to see his late father smile, he planned on becoming a comedian, but unfortunately lacks comedic taste. He's just scraping by as a well-known entertainer. One day he was suddenly appointed as CEO of Hiden Intelligence by his grandfather Hiden Korenosuke as written in his will after he passed away. Although he initially refused, he transforms into Zero-One after seeing a rampaging HumaGear before his eyes. Only those who have been appointed as CEO can utilize the Hiden Zero-One Driver. Then after officially assuming his position as CEO, he devotes himself to fight against the "http://ThunderclapofDestruction.net" terrorist group and the rampaging HumaGear systems.

...of all things, the main Rider had to be a failed comedian. Cue lame jokes every episode. It's even stated in the summary that the secretary has to "explain Aruto's boring gags and jokes".
You know, I really want a confident, no-nonsense, dickish main Rider again. It's been ages since we had one of those. |

Wait, is his name Zero-One because this show has an artificial intelligence theme? You know, because artificial intelligence uses coding and coding have zeros and ones in them?

By the way, good to see veteran Noriko Hidaka come back to the toku scene to voice the A.I. system. Been a while ever since she finished voicing Glitta in ToQger.

I wonder if they're going to do another Dan the Manly by revealing that Aruto's father was the 01 before him cause while it's said that only the president gets to use the driver we don't know if Aruto would be the first president to use it.
