Come to think of it the name Weekenders already either sounds like a 90s rock band or a 70s disco band.

I've heard speculation that Aguilera was demoted as the main villain because Toei didn't want the hero to hit a woman. This is doubtful, but a positive character will definitely not be allowed to beat a nine-year-old girl. So Atropos would rather turn into something very big and creepy. In general, I am for the unification of the trio of Dark Sisters into one creature. It doesn't matter if it's a rider or a kaijin.

Yeah, I say give it at least 12 to 16 episodes for stuff to go a different direction if that's what they have planned, specifically having a Soichi Isurugi 2.0 being one of them. Now that I could see happening.

Wonder if Houtarou will get recruited into the Alchemy Academy later on? He’d make a fine alchemist-in-training.

You should at least give the first 2 episodes a chance before making your final judgment.
I'll give the first episode a chance before I decided to stick to the show. Last edited by IndigoArms; 08-09-2023 at 08:03 PM.. Reason: not necessary |

Kamen Rider?s target demographic is 8-12 year old boys, not teens, and certainly not late-teens. It may appeal to a broader audience, and it may court a secondary collector/otaku audience, but at heart it?s a kid?s show. And it?s totally okay to like kid?s shows! Especially when they?re as good as KR!

But to be fair, despite Kamen Rider mostly targeting younger males (kinda like Shonen action adventure mangas), some of the recent shows (Geats and Build for me) feel not as Child-like. For other series it has the feeling of watching a kids show but I don't feel it when watching Geats and Build. The death games concept in Geats and the politics in Build is what does it for me. So, despite Kamen Rider series targets Shonen mostly, I feel that some series can still apply adult-oriented or at least a slightly more seinen-ish/teenagerish theme it might work. And I do love Kamen Rider, but Geats and Build for me is the two series especially in recent years that when I watch it it doesn't feel like I'm watching a kids superhero show.

Here is the trailer for people who didn't see it yet :
lead actor feels a bit bland and generic as a hero to me. There is nothing that stands out about him. his appearance or personality. I hope he will grow on me. That being said the show looks cool and light hearted a bit. Looks like a mix of Fourze for the teens at school and friendship, Build for the science and "best match", a spoon of Wizard with people wearing cloaks and rings. EDIT : one of the 3 dark sisters being named Kuroto made me giggle. |
