Ten years ago, a mysterious device known only as the "Pandora's Box" was found on Planet Mars. The box created a massive "Sky Wall" that divided Japan into 3 sections, and strange creatures known as SMASH begin attacking humans.
A genius physicist with no memories stands against these monsters... As always you can view this episode via live stream on Saturday by heading over to Taima TV. They play other miscellaneous programs up until the live broadcast starts.
Live Streams of the Superhero Time block start at 5:30 PM Eastern Standard Time on Saturdays. |

First episodes are an exciting thing, they need to get you somewhat involved in the story and characters yet feature a huge action-sequence in the back to debut the first toys.
Ex-Aid did a great job IMO, so I hope Build follows suit. |

Considering the only toys that are also released about now are Hedgehog and Soujiki/Vacuum Cleaner and the obligatory melee weapon, toy shilling won't be too bad I think for 3 months it's ok

It was an alright episode. Fun, lot of content. Didn't blow me away or get me too excited but still, interesting enough. I'm eager to learn more about the setting.

Had fun watching, loved to see where it goes from here.
Especially since with the whole divided Japan set-up, we only really seem to have a brief idea currently of how things are from the sector our protagonist is stuck in. Wonder if the other parts have their own riders, or if they're doing as well. Course it's just the first episode, I don't need to know all of that now.

Loved the early heisei vibes, and the hint of an underlying darkness that might be fun to watch unfold. Solid episode, but nothing blew me away. Still excited for what's to come.

Subs will help, but I enjoyed it a lot even without them. Looking forward to more.

I'll have to wait for subs to be sure, but I think this might be a strong first episode.
Random thoughts: -Sento himself seems okay, though his hair gimmick could get annoying, but with it being a simple visual and not a forced catchphrase, I don't see it getting to bad. -I just now suddenly realized how many Riders have a bar/restaurant set in the main sets. This one reminds me of the one in Kuuga. -I like that the form changes weren't overused in the first episode. I hope this kind of pace stays as it's easy to get form overload and we know Build has a bunch. -So the monsters are people that have been abducted and turned into brainwashed monsters. God, when was the last time we had that? I wanna say Showa at the very least. Also Marvel vibes. Luke Cage or the Weapon Plus, whichever you prefer. -About 2/3rds of the way through the episode I realized how red Eiji Akaso's hair is without the Amazons filter. -Build's fighting style is MATH. I'm okay with this. -I like that the divisions in the world are actual walls. It's nice world building. ...I'm sorry. -Subs might change my mind, but I'm calling it now: Goatee guy is NightRouge. No basis other than I watched Mirror, Mirror recently. |
