Really though, I don't really get the complaint about something being done to please fans in any sort of fiction.
There's an argument that can be made about something being done to appeal to the audience v.s. the artistic integrity of the creative team, but ultimately, as a fan, I feel we should be honored when something is done for us, so long as it makes sense within the context of the story and doesn't ruin anything. Bringing Kiriya back might be a move for the fans, but I also have enough confidence in Ex-Aid's writing that they'll make it work.

Honestly I feel like a lot of the surprises Ex-Aid has thrown up lately have all been pulled out at the last minute but the writing has made them all work. That's the sign of a pretty good series IMO.

I haven't actually watched the movie yet myself, I just know these things happen. It may be worth holding off on it, but it's up to you. |

Wow damn thanks for the spoilers dickwad. The newest episode isn't even subbed yet...

Ok, I honestly think that you'll enjoy Decade more NOT having seen any of the other pre-Decade Heisei series. I'm not sure they directly spoil as the versions are so oblique, they won't make any sense and a few have plot points never taken their parent series.
Decade is more Rider of the Week over MotW. There are two main issues I have with Decade: 1. Great premise it never lives up to 2. 2nd worst series ending ever due to to number 1. Only beat by Faiz. Faiz is a bit cruel to the viewer. Decade almost feels like they just ran out of money (it's only 30 some odd episodes long). I think you'll like it - got problems, but it's ultimately pretty entertaining. Better than Kiva, imo. Well, by MotW I just meant each episode gives us a new scenario, where each new scenario involves a new previous Rider. Because if so...that sounds awesome. I've heard that the alt universe versions are wildly different, but I just wanted to avoid any general spoilers, such as characters that are dead being referenced as being dead, any twists revealed (Ex-Aid spoiler)such as Emu having the bugster virus or anything like that. Plus I just love the suit I feel like a lot of it was planned out from the beginning, but I also get the feeling that they're writing themselves into a corner...I'm not really sure how this series will last for like 15 more episodes...

Just wondering, what's up with Amazon Neo's black legs? It looks meh. Would've preferred if they continued the blue color.

I seriously, hugely, massively doubt that a single thing that's happened in Ex-Aid so far wasn't planned out to some extent. Nearly every little detail turns out to mean something that seems obvious in retrospect and very little is ever forgotten about. Parad was copying Emu's "dai henshin" bit for a whopping 15 episodes before it suddenly became relevant why he didn't have his own phrase like everyone else. That guy from the stupid episode about a hamburger monster shows up later to give Ex-Aid a new toy. Even the Proto Mighty Action X Gashat not being black turned out to have some significance. It's almost kind of arrogant to assume that bringing Kiriya back has anything to do with what the fans want. There's just way too much of the narrative building it up for that to be something they just casually tossed in without it being part of the plan, right down to the actual way he "died" in the first place. I mean, I like to be a jerk and find fault in Ex-Aid wherever I can, but come on guys, it's way too smart to just write in plot developments for the heck of it. And if it is, it's way too clever to not work them in seamlessly.

Okay, keep in mind that I'm usually the guy talking down the Ex-Aid hype when I say this: I think even saying that is still selling it short. Ex-Aid has been probably the most thoroughly planned out Rider series ever.

Has Taddle Fantasy been confirmed to be showing up in Ex-Aid proper, or is it just a movie thing. Haven't really seen confirmation one way or another.
